>>212825184>I want new game+ thoughCathrinus Niggleton reviews his message before posting it (no captcha of course!) and gets off his seat to head to the kitchen.
Coming up with zingers, one after the other is nourishing to the soul but not the body, thinks Cat while opening the fridge and taking out some snack to munch on.
Standing there though, the fridge door opened, some faint, unfamiliar whizzing makes itself heard, growing louder.
Cat gets his head closer to the cold, buzzing insides of the appliance but the sound seems to come from somewhere else... Behind him?
The stainless shard of aluminium burning through the atmosphere from a falling Chinese Tencent satellite is fast enough that Cat doesn't register it going through his kitchen window, curtains and finally, throat.
As Cat falls to the ground, head hitting the fridge on the way down, the leftovers of a garlic-mayo kebab falls off the middle shelf and right into our unfortunate hero's mouth, not helping him breathe through the blood but adding, at least, a taste of pleasure among the gurgling and quickly fading confusion.

"CATHRINUS!! Last warning! Get up mister or you're gonna miss school!"
Cat gasps, his breath caught in his (apparently unharmed) throat.
He opens his eyes to see his room as it was when he was almost a teen. In the mirror, he sees his own 11 year old looking self.
He remembers the pain and the kebab and the fridge. He remembers everything that happened, or didn't happen yet? Might happen? Won't happen.
"New game +" he mutters with a grin before heading to the kitchen for breakfast.
