Adras slept within the bed of the ship. It was the first true sleep he's had in awhile, all brought forth by the Sleeper. He slept through the burning of Lo'aith, and the rising of Jesus and the blood moon.

But there was one thing he could not sleep through.

The Raven

"CAW CAW!!!! Quoth the Raven!" The strangest looking bird pecked at his window.
Adras
Adras opened his eyes feeling well rested for the first time in a very, very long while. He would have loved to rest a little longer, if only it weren't for the sound coming from the ship's window. All things considered he wasn't the type of person who could sleep in an even modestly loud room anyways.
Adras
He pulled open the blinds on the window before jumping slightly at the unexpected sight and making eye contact with the bird wearing a hat on the other side.
The Raven
"Great danger awaits you! A sleep you cannot wake from, and a ram who sees you as nothing but his TOY! I ask you, YOUNG MAN. ESCAPE! Before the jaws of SLEEPING DEATH wrap around you! Quoth the Raven."
Adras
"What."
Adras
Adras rubs his eyes to make sure he's seeing what he's seeing.
Adras
He processes the information before him.
Adras
"What?"
Adras
"No, wait, give me a second, say that again, those were good lines and I'm sleep deprived and I don't think I'm going to remember this in a second, I need to write this down."
Adras
"No, wait, what?"
The Raven
"MUST I BE MORE BLUNT OR MORE LOUD? Your """friend""" shall kill you, I ASSURE YOU. For he is-"
Sleeper
The door opens. "Shit are you havin' a nightmare in here, what's all the-"
Sleeper
"Poetnix.....You tryin' to steal my man?"
Adras
"What?"
Poetnix
The raven is pulled down, as the Poetnix appears in its place, kneeling down to look through the window. "WHY MUST YOU ALWAYS JUMP TO SUCH CONCLUSIONS?"
Adras
"??????????????????????????????????????????????????"

"Hey asshole! You're literally the god of writing, and this is a damn writer. Sorry if I'm "jumping to conclusions" when this seems like the type of writer you'd snatch up!"
Poetnix
"I don't even like his writings."
Poetnix
"Not that, that's a bad thing."
Poetnix
"Not everyone...likes everything...."
Sleeper
"Adras, I think that's enough to make you stay here."
Poetnix
"I just think his poetry lacks action."
Sleeper
"It's a fuckin' poem! What do you want from it?"
Adras
Adras decides not to pinch himself because he realizes that in the off chance all of this is actually happening everything is going to be incredibly more hard to understand.

"I THINK THAT THE IDEA THAT POEMS MUST BE SHORT AND FLOWERY IS A SAD STATE. WHERE ARE THE EPICS OF OLD?"
Adras
Adras doesn't really have a reply to this, a part of him agrees with this notion. "I mean, I switched to writing short poetry because I felt like I'd get better at writing if I just swapped subjects more often instead of working on a single really long thing."

Adras
"Also, the last book I sold only ended up in the hands of my family, compared to some of my poem collections which sold to like, 20 people, maybe, tops."
Adras
"Felt like a message somehow."
Poetnix
"That is so sad."
Poetnix
"I'm so sorry. I understand people avoiding the works you loved writing the most."
Sleeper
"First off, you're the motherfuckin' POETNIX GOD OF DAMN WAR."
Sleeper
"Those epics happened to be about mass murder!"
Poetnix
"And they were good, and well written."
Sleeper
"Second off, can we get back to the part where you're tryin' to steal my man!"

"Yeah I cried about it for a couple days then wrote the worst, edgiest thing that's ever come out of my head with those emotions. It was horrible, self-gratuitous writing and I burnt it before anybody ever got to see even the slightest hint of it."
Adras
"Also, what?"
Poetnix
"No....You burned it....." The Poetnix seems devastated to hear this.
Adras
"I partially blamed my editor and I named a character after him just so I could kill him off, trust me, it was better off this way."

"Also."
Adras
"What the, cough fuck is happening?"
Poetnix
"I don't know if I could forgive you for burning such a masterpiece. Unless it was burned in my name. In which case I have it in my library. I just haven't gotten around to reading it."
Sleeper
"Listen here, Poetnix, what is this shit about?"
Poetnix
"Right, I was sent here by the Creator to take away this writer from you, as he feels pity for him, and hatred for you."

"Why would you EVER ruin the machine's take over of a planet?"
Sleeper
"Oh, now it's ME who ruined things?"
Sleeper
"Ok, it was me who ruined things."
Sleeper
"But I only did it cause big horns FUCKED ME OVER!"
Adras
"What?"
Poetnix
"If he did that you would like it, wouldn't you."
Sleeper
"Yo."
Sleeper
"Holy fuck."
Sleeper
"That's too fucking far."
Poetnix
"Sorry."
Poetnix
"Either way, you would eat this man, would you not. When you grow bored of him?"
Sleeper
"You don't know my life. Maybe I will, maybe I won't. Maybe he wants that you don't know."
Adras
Taking a peek at Adras' mind we find a world of static, punctuated by "What?"s and "Huh?"s, the occasional neuron firing off into the void, praying it'll eventually reach another neuron and maybe possibly make sense of this situation.
Adras
Ding.

"Oh fuck. You're the Sleeper aren't you."
Sleeper
"Well I didn't want to be outed like this!"
Poetnix
"What, did you want to be outed when you had him in-"
Sleeper
"Yo."
Sleeper
"Do this for me. Think over your next sentence with your little bird mind and try rewording it."
Poetnix
"Hmmmmmmmm......."
Poetnix
"Oh that would have been awful wouldn't it?"
Poetnix
"Adras. Do you want this man to eat you, or not? Do you value your life?"

"Ok, wait, cough."
Adras
"Look, I'm having a hard time putting the timeline of events here in my head, give me a second to think and I'll get right back to you Poetnix."
Poetnix
"Vejovis is a minor deity, as all v1s are."
Poetnix
"Which is why this situation is so dire. If you stay, those gods will grow bored of you. And then what will they do?"

"Oh fuck, I'm going to fucking die."
Sleeper
"Do you really trust bird brain over me?"
Poetnix
"You literally consume the dreamscape of his species."
Adras
Adras mumbles something to himself about Vejovis promising him a livable wage and-
Adras
"Huh? Oh, no, I don't trust either of you at all, this is quite frankly the most terrifying moment of my life. I have no fucking idea what the hell is going on at the moment."
Sleeper
"WELL MAYBE IF THEY DIDN'T WANT ME TO, THEY WOULDN'T HAVE MADE IT SO FUCKING EDIBLE."
Adras
"Y-you do that?"
Sleeper
"You'd eat it too if you tasted it..."
Adras
ADRAS HAS NO IDEA HOW TO REPLY TO THIS COMMENT.
Poetnix
The Poetnix takes a deep breath and flexes his claws.

And then Adras had escaped past the Sleeper, as the Sleeper trips upon some water or something that was on the floor that he forgot to clean up-
Sleeper
"FUCK YOU I CLEAN MY FLOORS MAN!!!!"

Adras, not knowing who to trust, but knowing that trusting the Sleeper seemed like a bad idea (this is a bit of a long sentence rewrite this later) runs to the Poetnix, who allows him on his back.
Sleeper
"Big horns took my job, now he's taking my damn man!"

The Poetnix turns to the Sleeper, and tells him that the Creator had no input in this and-
Sleeper
"USE YOUR DAMN WORDS! ISN'T THERE SOME SORT OF RULE, SHOW DON'T SAY?"
Poetnix
"Sleeper. The Creator didn't send you a box to spite you."
Sleeper
"Ok, then explain the anomalous literal boxman shit that looks like a bad invention of his."
Poetnix
"That.....was just a coincidence."
Sleeper
"Fuck off, no way it was!"
Poetnix
"....................................................."
Sleeper
"Are you tellin' me, I infected a city full of people and turned them into demons over nothin'?"
Poetnix
"You did what?"
Poetnix
"I knew you made the machine fail its takeover but you....did....."
Poetnix
"Holy shit man. Do you need me to rewrite that?"
Adras
"What?"
Sleeper
"It's too fuckin' late cause they're aaaaaaall fuckin' dead!"
Adras
"What the fuck?"
Poetnix
"Oh I'm not retconning 10,000s of deaths."
Poetnix
"Never again."
Sleeper
"So....seein' as this was all a misunderstandin'-"
Poetnix
"He said no."
Sleeper
"Come on! How the fuck was I supposed to think me gettin' fired by a FUCKIN' BOXMAN AFTER GETTIN' A FUCKIN' BOX FROM THE CREATOR WASN'T SOME SORT OF DAMN MESSAGE!"
Adras
"To be fair, I think I probably would have assumed the same thing."
Adras
"I mean, you'd have to be dense to not see a connection there."
Adras
"Did you never like, ask?"
Poetnix
"That's what makes you a perfect replacement. The Creator wants...."
Sleeper
"Go ahead, call him stupid. Tell him Big Horns likes stupid people."
Adras
"Wait, but I'm not dense?"
Sleeper
"I'd say somethin' about last-"

But there was a truck that drove by and no one heard what he had to say on the matter.
Sleeper
"Look, man. If Big horns doesn't take me back in, you know what the play-"

How strange. Another truck? No one heard much.
Sleeper
"-does to little ole lambs like me!"
Adras
"Those trucks outside sound like they're straight up in the room with us. Is there construction work going on nearby or something?"
Poetnix
"Adras."
Poetnix
"You left the room ages ago. You're on my back."
Sleeper
"Yeah don't skip the chapter on it."
Adras
What?
Adras
This is the worst trip of Adras' life.
Poetnix
"Anyway, what happens between you and the-" Truck honking in the background. "-is none of the Creator's concern. Now if you mind. I will be taking my leave."

The Sleeper couldn't reach him because there was 100s, maybe 1000s of trucks on the road. To cross it would be death. By the time the trucks clear the Poetnix and Adras have disappeared, never to be seen again.

By the Sleeper.
Sleeper
"You know what? You're not even a good fucking writer."
Sleeper
"YOU COULDN'T THINK OF ANYTHING BETTER THAN 1000 FUCKING TRUCKS THAT HAD NO BUSINESS BEIN' OUT HERE?"

The Sleeper slips in a puddle of oil left by a truck and is knocked out so he is no longer able to talk. The end.
In the morning...
Peter
Peter stands over the Sleeper in the morning light. He assumed him to be a dead body, but as he places his hand on the Sleeper, he wakes with a jolt.
Sleeper
"Ugh fuckin...." The Sleeper scans the area. No evidence of the Poetnix, nor the plot convenient trucks remain. "Hmmp..."
Sleeper
"What's a man like you doin' in a place like this. Don't you got a company or shit to run?"
Peter
"You ruined my life."
Sleeper
"Ha! I did, but not in the way you think."
Sleeper
"You got greedy. Went against your morals. Gave greed a nice openin' for winnin' over your tiny little heart."
Sleeper
"You ruined your own damn life. I was just there to help push you along the way."
Peter
"Tempting me."
Sleeper
"I might not be apart of your little fairytales, but I'll have you know I'm a "demon" of my own kind of world."
Sleeper
"Don't wanna be." The Sleeper shrugs. "But I'm stuck in a limbo of my own plans. I was livin' the high life till I got greedy myself now I'm fuckin' sleepin' in truck oil."
Sleeper
"I just pushed you around. Didn't mean to make you do bad shit, cause I thought what I was doin' was the right thin'."
Sleeper
("Until that part after I was fired, then I was just fuckin' pissed.")
Sleeper
The Sleeper wraps an arm around Peter, who doesn't resist the action. "You know, I think you Christians got a word for this sort of man. You're into the roleplaying shit right?"
Sleeper
"How about you call me the devil, and we go get some drinks at a town that ain't on fire?"
