“Adrih? Are you listening?”

His calm voice and hand on my shoulder made me feel more relaxed. As I looked into his concerned eyes, I began to realize the truth.

“I’m happy for you Ajax. Do you guys have a set date?” I gave him a nonchalant smile as I began to talk with him. There was no reason for me to feel upset over this. We were just friends, that’s all we've ever been.

There was no way ...

It was a small town, the type of place where everyone knew everyone. There were no secrets, no real ones. I knew they would find out eventually, but I never thought it would be this soon.

Nobody was supposed to know. I thought I could keep this secret with me for the rest of my life. I thought wrong.

Loving someone means that you can trust them. You should believe that they won’t expose the dea...

“Remember John; Not a single word.” My mother whispered to me before we walked into the War Chamber. I continued to follow her pace and tried to keep my head held up high.

The room was filled with 11 glowing figures. They all shared a look of superiority and knowledge. Sitting in their thrones, they sent me a look of disdain.

My mother walked to her throne of roses and I followed suit, standing...

Reality is an idea.

It can be shaped into anything.

Some may find it to be a curse,

While others see it as a blessing.

Distorting reality

Can cause great harm

While bringing great joy.

Escaping into a world

Of your creation.

Abandoning the truth.

Mold your reality,

If you dare.

But be aware of the consequences.

Distorting reality

Causes you to distort yourself.

Escaping can be grand,

But it...

The restraints felt like burn marks on my skin. I couldn’t breathe, and I felt like I was on my deathbed. There was no way for me to escape. Why is this happening again?

As I tried to break through the restraints, he walked in. His white surgical uniform covered in blood sent chills down my neck. I couldn’t escape this time. He has me, and he’s not going to let me go this time.

There’s a malici...

There wasn’t enough time for me to make sure I was following him. By the time I realized I had lost him, it was too late. I wandered into another room to search for him.

“Noah?” I yelled out, trying to be as loud as I could. I waited for any kind of response, but there was none. Looking around the room I found myself in, I realized that I had no clue where I was.

In all the years I had heard of...

Pain. That’s all I could feel when I woke up. The last thing I remember was the captain shouting and the feeling of dread in my stomach. I tried to get up from where I was laying, but I couldn’t move.

What was going on?

I looked down and saw my legs covered by a large sheet of metal. Using all my strength, I tried to move it. It didn’t even budge. I would not be able to get out of this on my ow...

There are no words that could describe how it feels when I pass by a mirror. Every single scar reminds me of the life I used to live. Painful reminders of the ones I have hurt and the ones who have hurt me. Though they’ve grown fainter over the years, I have never forgotten how they came to be. The ones underneath my shirt have yet to fade and stay as reminders of experimentations that occurred lo...
