We have arrived in 2088 where the battle gets set to take place. A few familiar sounds from the first chapter are reprised throughout this episode to indicate the time travel calamity we have found in the audio pages of our poetry story. A sample from a personal favorite I like to vibe out to, "Gate to Oneness-Inner Lotus Music" sets the mood for balance and create this feel of a "calm before the storm". A callback to a Chapter III future!TENSE episode. Are the two teams prepared for this showdown? Who will begin to take the stage? What is team Rando going to do about the potential mismatch? How many Midas' does it take to screw in a lightbulb? Most of these questions will be answered in this and in the upcoming episodes.

Prepare for Convergence!

Happy Holidays! The time has now arrived, Episode 100!!! Now, here is your present. We end Chapter 3.5 with "Epiphany", a one to ten word poem that has a double ending when the last 3 words is only one word. How about when the poem is recited a second time? Do subtle changes take on entirely different meanings? 2 poets, 1 poem, unlimited possibilities lie ahead...

**Special thanks to fellow poet and friend Destiny, thank you and may you continue to be blessed with divine talent and a courageous heart.

We return to literally moments before Rando, BB Wayz and Midas 06' unite in June 2023- after Rando laid the vision a couple of months prior. BB Wayz and 06' begin to question Rando's intentions. We have made one full loop around. The sidequests are over, all known artifacts are gathered and now onto the final challenge, Chapter 4.0 Liberation 2088!

This is officially the 100th posted episode but do not get the streamers out just yet... I owe you two episodes. Two episodes are the same narration from the first episode of the third chapter (just with different sounds and feels). We will call this the celebratory 100th post but it is also known as Episode 98 (bonuses and all). However it is considered, what makes the episode special is that it features my sister. The character Amethyst Lexi is almost a decade younger than Midas 06'. This episode plays with the idea of a swap in roles among siblings. This episode demonstrates a brief interaction between a high school senior and his little 91 year old little sister.

100th post in dedication to my Day 1 since my 9th Year.

Since we are in the sweet spot in between Halloween and the Holiday Season, here comes the 97th episode with the Witch reference you didn't remember. In the opening of Chapter 3.0 Episode 1- The Story So Far a witch was slipped in to the telling of the narration, which loops back around to this particular moment. This mysterious character makes a request to Midas and 2 of his closest friends in December of 2021 which helped to set off the following events that have since unfolded. This is a reimagined follow up of JRM meeting the witch again in the year 2088. She separates BB Wayz from the rest of his team (Midas 06', bRoDi Botz and MiL-ez Ocho) as they were about to find some much needed answers. However, a significant piece of the puzzle may have just actually approached Jay. The songs used in this piece comes from the 1920's "Jazz Land" transforms to "Forsaken". In case you need a refresher of the Witch reference, click on one of the following links for Chapter 3.0, Episode 1- The Story So Far.

With special thanks to long time friend and supporter playing the role of the Witch of Williamsburg (Brooklyn), which was an actual life experience and my podcast partners shared. Thank you for your time! You can catch glimpses of her work on @bunniiscloud.

The date is Sunday January 4th 2088. As Chapter 3.5 begins to draw to a close and we near closer to the final confrontation, newly found friends MiL-Ez Ocho and bRoDi Botz bring BB Wayz and Midas 06' to the site where Jonny Midas' 2088 was destroyed in battle. This event takes place one week after the end of Chapter III FUTURE.tense!
