I need to start learning how to turn people down. In all my years hunting for lost treasure, I've never seen anything quite like what I saw in the City of Death. But, if anything, it was a journey that really weighed on my emotions and got me questioning my mortality. What felt like only a couple minutes, I was roaming those streets for weeks. Time moves differently in that realm. And that was jus...

The city laid behind her. Janet had escaped by the skin of her teeth. Thankfully authorities were not beyond the walls otherwise she would have been screwed. She bent over to catch her breath when a young man approached her walking with a nap sack and staff.

“Hello, My name is Peter, what is yours?”, she rolled her eyes up and after a deep breath said “Jessica.”, and with that she took another br...

In the city, a deep grief, things in the air. It feasts on flesh, and drinks breath. I barely escaped the city of death. I used a bone to pick the lock of my cage, I used fire to divert the guards. I climbed over the walls and the barbed wire and dropped down to the ground below. When I landed, my leg bone split and pierced through my mid decaying flesh. Nevertheless, I am determined to make it ba...

My heart aches, just as my head throbs with pain, not my pain, but the hurt from the sounds of cries and wailing continuing to reach me, I’ve trekked over a mile away from the old city walls and I can still hear the anguish, in the streets where everyone can hear you scream, and smell the bittersweet stench of death from within City of Death. It’s nightmare fuel, it’s been all I’ve heard over the ...

TW: SUICIDE

Amadi finally escaped Kaso, the kingdom of death.

That’s what the Kasons call it.

Kaso has the nickname for a reason. Everywhere you go, there is death. It’s all you ever see. It’s all you ever know. It’s all Amadi has ever known.

When Amadi was ten, his mother got killed by Kaso guards. Six months later, his dad took Amadi and his littler brother, Jabari, to the green p...

Like electricity a few sparks.

The essence of life fill my body in which my spirit begins bathing in its warmth.

Through this ignition I feel the feeling of life again!

With so much energy and passion beyond my reach, I have the intentions to run and jump across the world as I rise with wobbling legs. I quickly fall to the ground, my knees rushing to the concrete and my hands to catch myself. T...

Garric stopped running and stood with his hands braced against his knees to catch his breath. He still was not sure whether or not he had been followed out of the town, but he decided it was best to put some distance between himself and it before he found out. Looking back, he could discern nothing moving in the direction of the dead town and moved on, more slowly from thereafter.

The dead town ...

It sent a shiver up my spine just thinking about it. I could still feel the cold and the fear that seeped beneith my skin, it lingered.

"So how exactly did you escape?" The question came from a young military psychologist sitting across from me in a small "interrogation" room within a makeshift base that had been setup on the perimeter of the city, the City of Death. She briefly looked up from he...

I make it out alive. I escaped,but my soul will always be there. I had lost it there. I shake my head. No,I didn’t. My soul is still there,but my innocence or my belief that everyone is good and pure are gone forever.

In this place,I have seen people dying and death people. This city is known to be hunted for so long,and yet,nobody told me why. After this,I understand. Now,I understand it so de...

The ground is cold, hard and damp beneath me, but I’m not in any pain which is odd because I clearly remember being stabbed; the blood, the pain all of it. Not that I’m complaining about not being in pain it’s just odd, that’s not the only thing that's odd, the ground I am laying on feels strange. I should be laying on a combination of dirt and snow; mostly snow, but I’m not it’s too hard to be sn...
