Chapter 11

What should Skyler do about his shirt, shoes and socks? Try to repair them or simply toss them away and buy new ones? Will his father's food be cold or not?
Classic trip, nothing unusual here!
After the world pieced itself back together, Skyler found himself back where he had been before being pulled into that illusion barrier. When he looked to the car's clock, it was even the same minute that he had entered. However, when he reached for his father's food. Sadly, it was cold. He let out a sigh and thought. 'I should have put the food in my inventory.' As he drove back to Wendy's, a thought occurred to him. Since time had stopped in the real world, he could easily have his food replaced. However, he knew very well what doing such could do to one of the employees. This was something he didn't want on his conscience. It could very well cost someone their job and in the end their life after all.
Skyler knew this was a low likelihood, but it wasn't something he wanted to risk. There was a saying about things like this. Do unto others as you would like to have them do unto you. It was enough that he knew what he had done, even if no one else did. It wasn't like he believed in god or the afterlife. In fact he partly hoped there wasn't, if only so the pain of life would be over when it was over. A blissful void devoid of pain and suffering. Although with the development of his powers. It did put a little damper on that possibility, even if he had no real proof that it wasn't just a powerful woman that liked to claim she was a goddess. Hmm, come to think of it, he had no proof that Gaia was a she at all.
Skyler found himself glancing out the car's window after obtaining a replacement for his father's food with his own money. - $6.53 He figured his body went on autopilot there, but at least his father's task was complete. Hopefully this time he would make it home without anymore hiccups. Fortunately, he managed to make it home without any other issues. He put the cold food and old drink into his inventory's trash bin for deletion. While it was open, he unequip his damaged shirt before exiting the car with the newer food and drink in hand, heading straight for his bedroom. It was the closest door to the driveway anyway. It made his room like a highway both in and out of the house. This offered little privacy, but it was the largest room in the house. Not that anyone would guess that given that Travon cluttered a quarter of it with his recumbent bikes and tools.
Skyler walked through his room, the laundry room, then the kitchen. However, he heard a whisper as he turned to enter the living room. Verona was sitting at her computer and brought her pointer finger up to her lips. "He was really hungry. As you can tell by the snoring. Just set it on the table, please." He nodded, looking in his father's direction before heading to the kitchen table and set the food down next to his father's favorite chair. After that his body went on autopilot once again, taking a quick restroom break before heading back to his room, removing his shorts and glasses before laying down to rest.
Skyler closed his eyes, turning to lay on his left side while pulling up a blanket and a body pillow to help him sleep. Shortly after, he found himself unable to move and slept deeply. He woke up several hours later in the position he had started in. He slowly turned, but found Cleo had found her way onto his side and was laying against him and his body pillow. He chuckled as he reached a hand to gently rub the top of her head and underneath the left side of her face. "Good girl."
Skyler worked his way up over the next couple of minutes to get up without disturbing Cleo as best he could. He allowed her to stay on his body pillow as he slipped out of bed. However, she wasn't having this. For as soon as he stepped away from the bed, she chased after him. She kept pace with him as he made his way towards the door, only to be stopped by his eldest brother, Koby. Koby had male pattern baldness and wore glasses similarly to Skyler, but had curly dark blond hair and wore sandy brown shorts. Oh, and like most of his family had most of his excess weight around his gut. However, their mother was an exception to this. Koby rubbed his stomach. "Hungry. Are you hungry?" Skyler tilted his head. "Yeah. Whatcha want to do about it?" Koby grinned. "Eat something. Wha you want to do about it?" Skyler decided to use this opportunity to use Observe on Koby.
Observe:

Relationship: 75, Mood: Hungry and Tired
Skyler read that with a chuckle. "Eat something too. Whatcha have in mind?" Koby shrugged. "I'm less picky than you are." Hmm, that was true. Unlike Skyler, Koby had an iron stomach and very few health issues. In Skyler's opinion, Koby was also far more intelligent and capable than him. However, Koby was quite lazy which didn't help things along. Skyler turned around to walk over to his shorts and glasses to slip them back on before looking to Koby. "How about Chick-fil-a?" Koby stuck out his tongue slightly. "We had that yesterday. There is Chinese Gourmet, Jack in the Box, Jason's, Mr. Gattis, Sasi's, and Olive Garden."
Skyler lifted a brow. "Oh? You're willing to pay for Sasi's and Olive Garden today?" Koby nodded. "Yeah. They be expensive, but I got paid today." Skyler blinked. "Oh? Got some computer work that I didn't hear about?" Koby nodded. "Yeah, I just had to give Alec an updated Linux's boot disc while you were asleep." Alec was one of Travon's old friend's from work. They were both retired teachers. However, due to financial issues, Alec still works as a substitute from time to time.
With this in mind, which should Skyler pick? Sasi's, a family owned Thai food restaurant or the well-known Olive Garden?

Odd side of the Abyss
Are you ready to begin?
We'll be looking at Skyler Peterson's life as he is dragged into the world of the Abyss. He is a depressed man with a lot against him, if only in his own mind. The main character is based on myself. This will be an outlet to help me vent such frustrations. This should help my readers understand me a bit better, but more importantly. I hope everyone who reads it enjoys it. :3
