The Perfect Cream Donut

** 1 **

In a little corner of a little town, was a donut shop. But it wasn't but a donut shop, it was possibly the best place across all the multiverses whereby one could get the perfect cream donut. Not many beings knew about it however, so it remained in obscurity, until one day a weird looking person with fuzzy hair and rainbow glasses walked into the shop.

When the person walked in, they saw a couple of people enjoying their coffees with a side of donut on the window seats of the hop. On display at the counter were some of the most perfect looking donuts one could have ever placed their eyes upon. In the midst of these donuts was the most perfect looking cream donut. It had enough glaze on it to glisten in the light coming in from the windows. It was filled from edge to edge with this buttery cream with sugar crystals sparkling within. The dough looked pillowy and smooth as if one could fall asleep on it. The rest of the shop was not as impressive. There stood an old coffee machine, a few breakfast menus on the wall and some dispensers and such around. There weren't too many seats within the shop as it was a small crampy nook of a donut shop on a nothing street. Behind the counter stood an attendant and in the kitchen behind was the chef washing dishes.

The attendant was a bit perplexed by the person's look as it wafted a not normal air but regardless she said "Hello, how can I help you today sir?" in her most welcoming tone. The rest of the crowd and chef were not phased by the person as their attention were somewhere else.

Following the greeting, the person pointed with their extra long looking finger at the perfect donut and said "May I have this donut please? No need to put it in a bag, simply place it on a napkin as I want to enjoy it now".

The attendant replied "Sure, no problem, would you like anything else?" to which he said "No thanks, just the donut". With that she picked the donut from the cabinet, placed it on a napkin as they asked and handed it to him. "That'll be $4" said the attendant. He handed her a $5 note and said "Keep the change". He then proceeded to take a bite of it and sparks lit up inside him. It was the most incredible thing he had ever tasted. He wanted more but he wanted this exact donut with this exact feeling again and again.

The person walked out after enjoying his perfect donut and had his mind made up. He will take this unknown shop in this little town within this singular universe and trap it in a dimensional loop where he and he himself could enjoy this perfect donut for infinity and beyond.

Hold up. What? Oh I forgot to tell you readers. The person that is eating this donut, it a bit of an ass. He is a temporal god that exists amongst all the multiverses. His name is a bit weird. I think its like Blugististic or something. We can just call him Blau from here ay. I can't really remember. He loves putting things in loops to screw with people but what he loves the most it finding unique anachronisms across the multiverses and put them in his tunnel of loops that only him can access and enjoy. Any lets get back to the story ay.

Once outside, Blau proceeded to do his thing. He waved his long fingered hands around and concentrated super strongly and poof, this little corner donut shop from this little town was now part of the anachronism collection that he held together in a tunnel of time, forever stuck in a loop, which should provide him with the most perfect cream donut.

Blau stood there looking at the eternity only he could perceive, happy.

A few thousand loops had gone by, with Blau having the same interactions with the attendant. Like many of the other participants of his other anachronisms, no one caught on that they were in a time loop. They just kept living their meaningless lives according to Blau, without an idea of what was happening to them.

This held true, until one loop the attendant stared at Blau for an extra second. From there on things started to get weird for Blau in this particular pocket of time. Blau though being the greedy ass he is, didn't take notice of the attendant's awareness growing until one day she said "Sir, do I know you from somewhere?" whilst handing him the donut. This one time in the many time loops, Blau stood speechless. His face wide, questioning what he had just experienced. At this single point in time, his hands felt loose and the perfect donut fell onto the floor. The attendant tried her best to rescue it but some of the cream splattered onto her and her face. She tried to apologize thinking it's her fault that the donut dropped but Blau ran out the door to cause a reset of the loop. Before he reached the door however, the attendant also tried to clean herself up and licked some of the cream on her lips and she then tasted a bit from the most perfect donut.

Perhaps it was this or possibly these new interactions within this loop, but the attendant grew a higher awareness of her current situation and it screwed with her head. At that moment she experienced what could be a super flash of a thousand lifetimes. Then poof the loop reset and she was back behind the counter.

Blau walked in, thinking that the loop reset perfectly but at the back of his mind, he had the events of the prior loop playing.As soon as he stepped through the door, the attendant pointed at him and yelled "YOU, what in the living fuck is going on? Am I going insane?....Who the fuck are you?" She keep shouting and waving her fingers at Blau.

With that he decided to step outside to reset the loop constantly until he reached the normal outcome. Alas such an event never happened. The more he entered back into the shop at every loop, the attendant grew even more into hysterics. The normal shop crowd and chef sometimes would get involved and notice but they appeared to forget after each loop.But the attendant, never stopped. At one point she threw a knife at Blau. At another she jumped over the counter and ran at him, trying to catch him.

But every loop reset at the same position for everything, she was always starting behind the counter and could not plot as the loop did not exist until Blau started it.He was puzzled. In all the lifetimes that he lived. In all the stories that he experienced through his unique stored anachronisms across his tunnel of time. In all of eternity, had he experienced such an abnormality. he couldn't exactly place the loop back in position as they way his powers worked it, he takes a snapshot of time from the multiverses and loops it onto itself.

Its just your basic physics according to string theory. Everything exists in a state on the Planck scale, so copying something before it changes to another state, gives you a moment that you can enjoy forever and forever. But this state changed. How? he wondered.He was at an impasse. He really wanted that donut but that attendant lady, the way she is would not allow him to enjoy it. He couldn't really freeze her in time as that is not how the time loop works.

He decided to explain to her hoping that she would give in an accept her fate, which was serve him the most perfect cream donut forever and ever again.

Ha, that is honestly the best solution his greedy selfish ass thought of. Bloody time gods man, they are so stuck up. Anyway back to the story.

He approached this loop with care. He put his arms up, showing his weirdly long fingers, removed his rainbow glasses and shouted "ATTENDANT LADY!, DO NOT MAKE ANY SUDDEN MOVES, LET ME EXPLAIN!"This caught the attention of the attendant. She was going crazy but in a moment of calm, she decided to listen to him.

The other people in the shop also turned to look at him when he walked in but they didn't matter to him as they would forget as soon as the loop resets."TALK NOW!" shouted back the attendant. "OK. ok. lets calm down a little." replied Blau."I know it seems weird...but you are stuck in a time loop." said Blau. "No shit, genius!" the attendant yelled back.Here goes nothing, thought Blau as he proceeded to explain to the attendant what was happening and how he created this situation so he could enjoy the perfect cream donut forever and ever. The attendant grew angrier and angrier in frustration as he explained the situation further to him.

When he was done, she strongly said "You ruined my life for....a....fucking....donut!" as he yanked it from the cabinet and crushed it in her hands.Blau looked in horror as the most perfect donut was being destroyed infront of him. He actually got a bit sad and ran out the door to again reset the loop.However not everytime he went back into the loop, she destroyed the donut. Sometimes she savored it infront of him. Other times she would throw it onto the ground.Over the next few millenias, everytime Blau walked in, she made sure he couldn't enjoy this tasty treat ever again.

She knew this is the only thing that she could do to punish her prisoner and hoped that one day he would find a solution to free her from her captivity.For Blau, over time, his want of this donut never faltered and he subjected himself to this torture, waiting for a sliver in time whereby she would let him enjoy the most perfect cream donut.

Who knows how this would play out. On one hand, A greedy selfish god with an impossible desire to each the most perfect donut and on the other hand, a person with infinite time to torture a god into releasing her.
