Foybulier and
the Penny Killers.
Key: F1= Foybulier version 1 and so on.
To begin with apologies
for the lateness of this essay, I was sick for a week, then two other days so
everything has been thrown out of order. But at long last; the semi-long
awaited story, so enjoy.
But first some background
don’t be fooled by the title it is not a gritty story (it was originally but not
now) this will be a story with the theme of time travel, and something special
for it. Oh also side note Foybulier may or may not live in Tucson, but since it
won’t progress the plot in any real way we really don’t need to know. Oh I
guess I should bring this up; since Foybulier is in too much debt you might be
asking; “Why not just live/get loan from his parents?” well you see now, we
don’t really know what happened to the parents. By the way I will state which
Foybulier is which by stating a number next to them.
We
begin with our main character Foybulier,
he has a bachelor degree in thermal dynamics from a college that won’t progress
the story at all so I won’t even name it. However Foybulier does want to pay
off his debt of about $120,000 plus interest soon, so he wanted to play it
smart, he became a Pipeline Technician (and yes you do in fact need a degree in
thermal dynamics to be a pipe line technician), and everything started to look
actually quite promising for him. Until the pipeline industry started doing layoffs,
which Foybulier was greatly affected by; for he has no job, a mountain of debt
and a degree that is not really all that accepted in the job market world. So
everything has become garbage at this point as you can see for him, so
Foybulier is now trying to indulge in a walk for that’s basically the only
thing he can really afford.
In this world that takes more than it will ever give, while on his walk he starts to think of what he liked best (or used to like best) history. So he started to think of the more memorable people in this world; such as Genghis Khan, Hitler, Stalin, Fidel Castro, Napoleon, Jack the ripper, Green river killer, Vlad the Impaler, Abraham Lincoln, and more. He tried to figure out what made them so memorable, and he realized something for other than Jack and Green river these are men of power (leaders) and they abused their power to gain more at the expense of others. Like business men of the 30`s people were as expendable as pennies. That’s when he began to think a little darker; he thought about maybe pennies should finally get the recognition they deserve.
To have a new hope for people too, for we live in a world of seven billion and things aren’t getting any better maybe Foybulier should [slam]…then Foybulier walked into another person, before he could even react he fell over. When he looked up at whom he walked into he was surprised to find, it was himself. Literally. He now sees Foybulier, but more in distress and sweater than he could ever be, or at least as of yet. So as he dusked him and himself off him (the guy he bumped into), and asked (our Foybulier asked the new one) “This is going to sound crazy but-“the new Foybulier cut original off “I am you from one *week* in the future.” Before Foybulier 1 could even respond to that comment he felt a crippling pain in his chest, as if his chest was to rip open, and it did. Foybulier 1 split into three new ones, making four Foybulier`s in total. So now begins our journey of confusing portion, but before we should learn what is to happen next we hear from Foybulier from way at the end (he is the guy we bumped into a while ago).
Foybulier 4 says that he has experienced all of these lives and knows what to do; He sends Foybulier 1 to go with lottery numbers and to rent a hotel, then wait for further instructions. Foybulier 1 is in such great disbelief and he would gasp but being split into three people in less than a minute time span can seem to make a person rather tiered as you may expect. But there was no time for that because he needed to go to the next plot point, I mean objective. Foybulier 2 is to invest in some stocks once Foybulier 1 has gotten the money (the lottery has $156,756 just to let you know). Foybulier 3 is now to be instructed to plan out the next “accidents” that will occur to large corporation owners to ensure the stocks they invest in, don’t fail.

This is Section 1 of
a several part series where we will be following all the Foybulier`s on all
their adventures so we will now begin with F1 and work our way down throughout
the list; but I should warn you though theses time lines do criss cross a fair
bit in the beginning but they do narrow out nearer to the end, so try not to
get to confused. But if you do just post you confusions in the comments where I
will try my best to explain what is going on.
Foybulier 1: With the
newly received lottery numbers (so generously given by F4) F1 proceeded to
enter them in, yet is a little disappointed to find out that he is not
receiving the number one spot for lottery money (a whopping $487,689,300) but
the measly 3rd place, it higher outrage than you think, F1 stampedes
down to F4 asking why is the money in the thousands when we could so easily get
to be true millionaires (side note they have not received the money yet,
because there is a three day grace period they between winning and receiving
money)? F4 explains; “You do realize that you would be putting our whole
operation at risk, right?” F1 with a confused yet disappointed look on his face
replies; “So `taking care of` high ranking corporation business men isn’t too
much risk for you?”, F4 annoyingly glaring at F1; “Well you have to understand
F1 that when people win the lottery they get their faces and names on
newspapers, which is the equivalent of saying; I have a bunch of money, here I
will even put a target on my back for you.” F1 disturbed by that statement; “Ok
fair point but we are still killing important people.” F4 reestablishes; “Ok
fair point but even if they do manage to track the murder to us, whom is really
doing to believe that there`s another Foybulier running around, let alone four.
Heck even the reader is skeptical about this whole setup.”
F1; “Oh so your saying that while one of us is in court the other will continue doing the incidents, for with no history of any siblings (much less twins) they will be forced to believe that there is someone else doing this, for all the other person was, someone at the wrong place at the wrong time.”
F4; “As overly complicated ideas go you got the main important points, plus you cleared up most problems the reader probably had with the story.”
F1; “But beyond the
standard people may kill us aspects of the whole lottery prize money thing, why
not go for the top 1st spot, if we are to get new money anyways?”
F4; “Oh that, well you see I have been through this entire adventure too many times to count (for it is an infinite loop) and I think I found you answer. You see the universe has a sort of auto-correct system to ensure the idea of existence doesn’t go out of sync with everything else, ok? Well this system works a lot like the human body, in that it gets 99.999991% of all errors and fixes them all. But that extra .000009% still slips past, because even for the universe, nothing is perfect.”
F1; “So what does that have to do with anything?”
F4: “Well you see we are that .000009%, that the universe can`t fix, we are the cancer of the universe. But even as cancer goes, it still has rules, we cannot break past the fact that we can get the number one spot in the lottery, any more than how that last cancer can destroy all life on this planet. Oh by the way the last one was how the dinosaurs died off.”
F1; “Again still not answering the question, you are worse than bad boyfriends and politicians combined.”
F4; “Don’t worry I am almost there; for there was one Foybulier whom was able to do anything he wanted without destroying the timeline, the first one, but his problem was he never had knowledge of the number one spot, he legitimately guessed and he got enough numbers to get the third place in the lottery. Which now makes us on a set course to continue his (Foybulier original edition) attempt till we all, get it right. All versions of this situation have ended around the same, but with small variations down to the very number of breathes we took a day. This makes me very confident in that we could break this cycle, for we have veered off quite a bit from the way Foybulier 0 (that’s what I will call then original Foybulier), has done this whole story off in the first place. But there is one advantage of being a cancer in the universe that over does the metaphor a little too much.”
F1: “What?!?”
F4: “Recombination”
F1: “What do you mean?” with a frustrated look on his face.
F4: “With this recombination we change a little every time, but it looks roughly the same, but we have veered off so far from the original version so much that I am more than positive that we are to have this all turn back to normal.”
F1: “So wait are you the original?”
F4: “No, I mean yes, well mostly. I am the original whom has gone through this adventure many times over, and at the end of everyone, *we* all fuse back together, just enough to give me all your current/my pervious experiences, making me nearly out of this loop, but not quite.”
F1: “So why isn’t this your first time, or why hasn’t it worked, before?”
F4: “ Well, you see the way you discontinue becoming a cancer, is by causing enough variation throughout the world that it basically creates a new un-imaginable universe; a universe where are break the cycle.”
F1: “But that can’t exist, can it?”
F4: “Well with the whole infinite universe idea there does come one, and surprisingly only one were we do win (break the cycle), we are basically using the very cosmos to remove our cancer with our cancer. You can see why the universe has auto correct and why we don’t get the number one spot in the lottery, so do you have any more questions you commenters…….I mean F1?”
F1: “Well here is my last two; where did you get this idea and how many times have you been through this?”
F4: “Where else, but Einstein himself, well his works helped a bunch actually. For your second question I will contradict my statement from a while ago (word number ~1275) for this is my seventeenth time going through this (including now), and by Einstein`s work, it states you need 2.3354354% variation in a single universe to create a new one via the cancer way (the other way needs only .0000000000000006%, just by considering to make a decision you made a universe), so we got our work cut out for us. Oh by the way I have tried to do the do nothing trick, but that didn’t work out. Also one last rule, if any Foybulier dies along the way to the end point the cancer can be resolved.”
F1: “So wait does that include injuries?”
F4: “No, unlike this story, the universe does not have continuity errors, for you can’t have a broken arm if that reality did not exist in the universe with false perfection, but if you did say die that would trigger a reaction that could not continue the loop, for because you are so early in the time line you can still remain controllable by the universe`s laws, but someone like F3 or even F2 they have gone too far, before making another universe, they need a refresh, from the universe.”
F1: “What do you mean, a refresh?”
F4: “The universe is a refresh system, checking that all atoms in this FINITE reality have contributed to another universe, but in the context for us- cancer`s we fail to supply enough of a reality change to have anything new happen so we get sent back were we began, until we contribute a new universe of any level. But unlike everyone else whom gets checked on every nanosecond to get a new universe to move through we get ~28-ish days, and if we can’t supply enough variation to change a universe we are mistaken as original Foybulier and sent back.”
F1: “So why would killing not help if we are looking for as much variation as possible?”
F4: “Well you see there was originally 6 Foybulier’s but on the third time around on my infinite loop one did die, by getting hit by a train.”
F1: “So how much variation did that bring?”
F4: “Well at first a lot (went up a whole percent) but now that the other versions of ourselves are aware of this they can only contribute so much, so then when the other Foybulier died on my seventh time around that only brought about .000006% change so I say it’s not worth it, ok.”
F1: “Ok that clears up way more than I expected, I guess I won’t comment silly questions about bad continuity in the story because it will only make the story filled with more rules and make it over all more confusing. (I am looking at ‘you’ comments at the bottom of YouTube videos).”
F4: “So please for the sake of having something occur in this story, ensure that the others do something cool in their stories to, for all that we basically did was spend four pages talking, including this very sentence (F4 is the one whom will break the forth wall the most, don’t worry).”
____________________________________________________________________________
F3: “So what kind of ‘big business people’ are we going to be….taking care of?”
F4: “You are the one to carry it out, so it will not be a ‘we’ thing, but in any case I will start you off with; pear (parody of apple), then move your way down goggle.com (parody of google), take out the biggest of the bunch to get some stocks flowing, help with the slowing of this empire.”
F3: “So how will this ensure that the companies will stop there outsourcing?”
F4: “It won`t, but we need to understand that we don’t have as much control as we think we do. But the reason I suggest them first is to help, with your justification to do what you are willing to do.”
F3: “Wait what? I won`t do it then, they may not necessarily be good people but we shouldn’t kill for no reason, that’s chaos!”
F4: “Is it chaos to hurt those whom hurt others? For we know families die from starvation here just to have others jump to their death and fail to die thanks to the nets. No one really wins here.”
F3: “Does it really make it right though?”
F4: “I have been through this story 17 times now, you always end up the same, doing it anyways.”
F3: “But this one could be different right? Rights?!?”
F4: “The last ten times say no, oh also have you finished those, weapons yet? You usually complete this task by now.”
F3: “Oh, yeah, yeah they are almost perfected too, but may I ask why pennies. We could use nails so much easier than this?”
F4: “Well it serves
two purposes one; a metaphor on us being the alleged peoples person that we
apparently are, and two; it is harder to trace for at least with some nails
there is a hardware store. But with pennies they are literally every where.”
You call this a short story?
