Prologue to A Setback: Why Charlotte Exists

**Cell's Point of View**

Waiting..and waiting...and waiting...and waiting some more. Geez! I should have only given them four days!

I looked up at the sky, and suddenly thought, "Why didn't I think of this before? A little alcohol ain't goona hurt me." With that I teleported to the nearest bar.

I had been in twelve bars, then I saw a smaller one that looked....inviting.

When I arrived, it caused a little panic. But the bartender said, "I knew it was only a matter of time afore you showed up here. So, how about it? A few beers?"

I said, "Sure! Hey, any challengers?" This one woman, her name was Alexa, I think, said, "I'll challenge you! Just cuz you're a 'superior being' doesn't mean you're superior at everything!!"

In two minutes, the whole bar was shouting, "CHUG, CHUG!" I was swallowing that beer as fast as I could. I heard someone say that I was up to about twenty. Then I heard thirty. In about ten minutes, I heard forty. That was when I lost control.

I woke up the next morning aching all over. The bartender was slapping me and saying, "Wake up! You better git afore the cops get here!"

And I did. Little did I know, I had done something I hadn't intended to.

I had created a life.
