A ripple effect

Context
A man named Quiff-de-la-Fay had lost all his loved ones. Everything he had was taken from him, but he still had a world. He despised it. Quiff was very smart. He could solve anything, so he thought he could fix a way to stop the pain. He went mad in his experiments, trying to rummage through everything he owned for a solution to the end of his pain. There was nothing as he slowly but surely dived into his insanity. He began to travel everywhere to find a way to fix this problem festering within, but he was greeted with no answers, driving him down to a path of nothingness.

The insanity became too much and led him to the dark arts. The power that it gave him was sublime. He felt as if he was God. He used all his resources and information with the dark magic he learned and tried to reverse the clock on them. He went into an inn and did the spell there. He moved his arms in certain movements while chanting. A circle started to appear on the ground, blowing out great gusts of wind. The plan was looking hopeful. He could see his loved ones coming back to him from this hole he had manifested. They all reached out to him as he assumed it was a warm embrace and even creaked a smile for the first time in years. His loved ones clung onto him as their faeces became sunken and rotting. "You shouldn't have done that," they all said. Quiff let out a shriek of horror as he hoped someone would come. People had heard his screaming and tried to open the door, but it was locked. As Quiff was dragged into the hole as the door unlocked, everything looked in place, but as for Quiff? His body splintered across time and space, creating a ripple effect.

All these fragments served no purpose as they knew what had happened. They "disposed" of themselves, leaving one single ripple behind. This ripple still believed he could bring everyone he loved back. He didn't resort to what the other ripples did, but instead went on a fool's errand to try again to save the ones he loved. This story was told far and wide and, due to many generations changing the story and replacing it with different words, Quiff de la fay, a fool, had become known to the current public eye as "el-bozo-de-la-Quiff". A fitting name for him!
