“And we’re back.” Tyler, traveling at 100kph leaned forward to shout through the open area where the windshield used to be.
“Burn in hell, Larry!” He screamed. “From Hell’s heart, I stab at thee!”

The already battered pie truck crashed into Larry so hard that it created a shockwave, demolishing the several buildings in proximity that had survived the quake. A sickening sound of crumpling metal followed and Tyler was catapulted forward and through the window of the one wall of the quaint French Bistro that was still standing.

Tyler plucked glass and pie crumbs out of the scratches on his face that always seemed to accompany flying face first through a window at high velocity. Then…he laughed.

A deep-throated maniacal laugh, that sent the buzzards picking at the corpse of Sir Frogginton into the sky, panicked and alone.

When he had once more removed shrapnel from a pig that was starting to miss talking about politics, Tyler shook his head to clear it and then walked toward what was left of the exit to urinate on what was left of Larry.

He stopped, dumfounded. Larry was standing there eating a piece of the truck, happy as a clam.
Had Tyler not been the one to crash the vehicle into him at 100kph, he would have been fascinated that Larry could eat metal as easily as pastry.

“What the frack were you thinking, Tyler?” Marisa said storming toward him. “You could have been killed! Larry could have been killed!”

“That was what I was going for…” Marisa slapped Tyler hard across the face.
It echoed like a thunderclap up and down the crumbling street. Tyler held his palm against the blood red imprint of Marisa’s delicate hand on his chubby cheek.

“I…I…” Tyler, for once in his miserable life, was at a loss for words.
Marisa too was speechless at her crime of passion. She would give anything for Nanna to help her travel back in time to stop herself from doing what she had just done.

“I didn’t mean to…I’m so sorry, Tyler.” Her voice was small and distant. She didn’t mean to do it. It just happened. “I was worried…I care about…I’m falling in lo…” she was floundering. Why couldn’t she find the words?

Tyler knew that she was going to tell him that she was falling in love with Larry, or Skyler 2.0 or whoever the hell else had won the beauty’s capricious heart this week.

“I need to be alone.” There was no emotion in his voice. He simply walked around a pie building that had been split in half and sat down.

He stared at nothing specific. He didn’t want to think. He didn’t want to be here, in this world of Pi made of pie, or even in the same universe as Marisa.
‘She didn’t mean to’. He thought to himself. There was a tremor beneath him. ‘That doesn’t change the fact that she did.’

At this thought, there was another quake and the park bench made of pie that he was sitting on fractured and collapsed beneath him.

Tyler didn’t acknowledge his grandmother. He clinched his jaw and continued to stare forward without seeing anything.

“Frack you, Nanna. I’m tired. I’m tired of punching my pig in public. I’m tired of being brutally beaten.” As Tyler spoke, the sky above the pie world turned grey, then black with ominous storm clouds.

“I’m tired of being lonely. I’m tired of working with a beautiful and amazing young woman who thinks I’m nothing but a deranged pervert that jerks off to open an Einstein-Rosen Bridge. I’m just tired.”

With that, a cold hard rain began to fall. Tyler didn’t try to hide underneath a still intact pie overhang a dozen feet away. He didn’t stand up or even acknowledge the downpour as it fell upon him.

“I don’t give a scat if you are tired or not, you whiny little kitten.” Nanna’s words were harsh and her expression matched. “Tell me, genius boy, do you know where you are?”

“I’m on Earth Pi waiting for my grandmother to make an oral sex joke.” Lighting flashed. Nanna bothered Tyler more than he would admit to anyone, even Marisa.

“No. I’m on Earth Pi. Here, I’ll show you.” Tyler ate some pie. “Oh yeah, that’s some delicious wordplay.”

“Fine.” Tyler thought about Marisa. He thought about Larry on top of her. Her smile, her moan…a deafening boom knocked Tyler off his feet as thousands of bolts of lightning crashed into the city simultaneously.

Tyler tried again. He remembered the first time he met her, naive and fresh out of journalism school.
He thought of Earth 5,724 where he picked a flower for her and it bit her finger.
They laughed every time they talked about that, and the fact that they skipped out on the medical bill for the blood transfusion by going to another world.

He thought about…everything that is Marisa. Skyler said that Tyler is full of fancy words, but there aren’t enough adjectives in a Thesaurus to describe that woman.
He smiled. The first genuine smile that he had since the demon possession had caused them both to be lost in the multi-verse.

He was in love. He knew that now and he wasn’t afraid. Tyler is allowed to love someone and be loved in return. He had to go to her. He had to tell her…everything.

He walked back to the remains of the French Bistro. He was so happy that he began to run toward her. Toward the future. Toward…Larry.

With horror Tyler watched Larry kissing her. Grinding his fat body into her perfectly sculpted form.

Then he saw nothing but an abyss and did something that he really, really shouldn’t have done.
