"I hate it!"
Eternal Man looked up at me, a quizzical look upon his face "Excuse me?"
"I hate it!"
"Didn't you make...well all this?"
"NO! This all changed to some weird hideous, unfamiliar thing that everyone else seems to like but I hate!"
Eternal Man scratched his head "But you're the Creator?"
"No...yes...it's complicated. I, um, but...well this I didn't create!"
Eternal Man looked around the void "You'll need to be a bit clearer"
"I created yo...actually no, I didn't create you. Someone else created you, years before I was born. I just breathed new life into you...look you're a character on a fan-fic website!"
"And what is that exactly?" asked Eternal Man as he sat in the void looking up.
"You are a character, a creation of fiction. I created you. But someone created the website where I post stories about you and other super people"
"Like the man with the guns and skull insignia when the universe ended and the boy with the mallet?" said Eternal Man
"Correct. I kinda created all them, well actually some are fusions of other characters, the ideas are mine but some of the characters are...is this making any sense to you?"
"A little" said Eternal Man "But all I can work out is that you're a creator unhappy with his creation"
"I DIDN'T CREATE THE WEBSITE WHERE ALL THIS GETS POSTED! THEY CHANGED THE FORMATTING, THE LAYOUT FOR NO REASON. IT'S RUBBISH! I DON'T LIKE IT!"
Eternal Man looked shocked by the booming rant "So what can I do to help?"
"Nothing...you're fictional"
"Doesn't mean I'm not willing to help?" replied Eternal Man "I was there when the universe ended"
"Only because I placed you there. Just like I'll write you're next line of dialog"
Eternal Man slowly stood and went to speak but then thought better of it. He turned and began walking away.
"Where are you going?"
"You should know" replied Eternal Man not bothering to look back
"But, I was the one who was going to leave?"
"You can do as you wish, I am going over here. When you're finished bitching about whatever you're bitching about, me and hopefully the others, will be waiting to come to life" said Eternal Man
"That's a bit harsh!"
"No, harsh would be to leave us in limbo" said Eternal Man
"I really don't like the new site. It's like fan-fiction.com or fan-story.com which I checked out and didn't join because they we're rubbish compared to here! I can't find things, the background is...hey are you listening to me?"
"No!" came Eternal Man's shouted reply from the far end of the void.
"I really don't like it"
