I'm sorry.

If you're reading this, I'm dead.

I should've told you sooner.

I shouldn't have told you so late either.

But alas, we can never escape fate. And nor can we escape reality.

Don't listen to the voices. They're lying to you. You cannot trust a single soul, with your mind, your heart, or you're trust.

The only way out is to listen to the wind....

Chris ran towards the edge of the lake…

Suddenly, I wake up, sweating.

“I hate this dream. It’s such a nightmare.”

Cora turns to look at the clock on her nightstand: 3:00 AM.

She gets up, feeling the cold floor under her bare feet as she quietly makes her way downstairs. The house is silent, almost unnaturally so, as she heads to the kitchen for a glass of water.

“Again, Cora...

The Letter

What a strange letter

I don’t feel any better

It said that someone watching

Sorta creepy, like stalking

But it was really disturbing

More than just flirting

The compliments were nice

But made me think twice

The letter was from John

Singing his same old song

The problem is he’s dead, long gone

So who wrote it, it’s all wrong...

I keep having these sequences of memories, they’ll come to me when I’m doing the most mundane things. The thing is, I can’t ever remember not having them. Bursts of colour, sometimes vivid, sometimes I can barely grasp a second of them. I’m not quite sure when it started. I haven’t told Andy, my brother, he’d call me nuts, unhinged. Say, ’It’s just de ja vu Chloe, you’re such a fantasist.’

And I...

The Water Wars lasted for 20 years before the treaty allowed for the purification of the oceans. Thousands were killed for resources and thousands more died of dehydration. I was 2 when the Draining began and my parents worked tirelessly at the distillery for our weekly gallons and rations. Left with my grandmother, I learned what life had been before the war. Before the land crisped and withered ...

I had a memory, a thought, that had haunted me since… forever. It held me into its arms and cradled me until I fell asleep, then shook me awake. Even after 10 years, even after all that time pushing the memory down and sitting on it, its bubbling up again.

They found the body. They have the evidence, and they have my DNA. I remember scrambling with the knife, rage and fear overtaking ...

It was a cool fall evening, the sun on the horizon, the water rippling, calmly. The couple were sitting far in the distance, on a rocky hillside, near the water. The area was very secluded, nobody was in sight except them. “Honey, look at the light on the boat!” The man grinned, pointing at the light in the distance, hovering over the water. The lady smiled, snugging closer to him. As they stared ...

“You see? I keep getting these letters in my mailbox.”

Dr. Orepheil shifts uncomfortably in his leather seat, clicking his tongue. “Well, Lars, your mother and father are dead.”

I nod.

**As I creeped up to the towering stone walls blocking access to the ocean, I smiled at the soft snores echoing from the guard passed out in his chair. The moon was full and the sky was glittered with stars. After nearly a year of training, it was finally time to scale this wall to find out the truth about the ocean. **

**The government called it terrifying and claimed it prohibited for as long a...

My human was a strange person. We lived somewhere where no one else lived. He wore the same thing every day and also ate the same thing every day. Occasionally we would get visitors, but they would not stay long. I don't think they liked my strange human either. He never hurt me; he never even yelled at me. He just always had the same look and always called me for food at the exact same time every...
