Hello, everyone. My name is Kelly Serna, and I am Nick Fisherman IV’s lifecare
assistant. If you follow him on social, you’ll already know that. What you
don’t know yet is that he’s having more trouble with this than he has let on.
When I took over for his update this morning, I didn’t want to say anything,
but after rereading some key full posts from days past, I’ve decided to
maintain his spirit of honesty. Nick has reportedly always been fascinated
with immortality. He’s come up with a number of different ways for the
characters he creates to subvert death. He told me yesterday that it kind of
got so out of hand that in one universe, it’s virtually impossible for anyone
to die, which effectively lowered the stakes for the stories, forcing his
other self—the one who is still a writer—to come up with major loopholes to
the backup protocols. At this point, I believe that Nick would salute, and
respectively repeat the words “Major Loopholes”. Anyway, the way he tells it,
the ability to avoid death was his favorite superpower out of all of them,
which was why he felt such relief when he managed to procure it for himself.
When he realized that he lost this power, he felt hopeless and frustrated, and
apparently fell back into his old habits, which he had exhibited when he was
just a normal guy, before the multiverse opened up to him. And yes, to be
clear, I one hundred percent believe that he comes from a different version of
Earth, and that he is telling the truth about everything that would sound
outlandish coming from anyone else. I’ve read every installment on his site,
and we’ve been talking a lot about it lately, because I didn’t pay all too
much attention when we worked together at the plant nursery. Nick had never
warmed up to the idea of dying, for any reason. He had been planning to live
forever since he was eight years old when his older sister made a casual
comment that they didn’t know it was impossible just because it hadn’t
happened before. Traveling to a world where he was no longer immortal was one
thing. He could have still held out hope for science. But to come to realize
that he was so sick, not even the most optimistic of longevity advances could
save his life in time? It broke him. He doesn’t want to do this site anymore,
but I have faith that he will want to return to it one day, and when he does,
he will not want his daily streak to have been broken. I have his passwords,
so I will continue to update you in his stead. And when he does come back, I’m
sure he’ll have a lot to say about how I handled things. I hope not to
disappoint him.
