“Where am I?” I scream at the walls. I sob as I realize I’m not where I should be. I should be home with my small brother and my father.

“Let me out. Please.”

A door appears. I grab the handle and open it, finding myself in a village being torn apart by flames. People run. There are bodies everywhere.

And then I see the ripped flag above. My village.

Is this real? Is this what I need?

I wa...

Sycker groaned…

_Hurts…_

_Everything hurts…_

He opened his eyes, greeted by darkness. The air was stuffy and warm, suggesting a sealed room. Underneath, he felt a firm mattress, with no blankets to cover it. 

Sycker tried to sit up. As he rose, a sharp pain stabbed into his head. He grunted and set his feet on the floor. The floor was cold and hard beneath his feet and ridged between tiles. Sy...

**The Room of Wonders**

Rafael woke up to the soft hum of an unfamiliar melody. It was faint but oddly comforting, like a lullaby from a dream he couldn’t quite recall. As he blinked his eyes open, he realized he wasn’t in his own bed. The ceiling above him was adorned with intricate patterns that shifted and shimmered like liquid silver. He sat up, confusion swirling in his mind, and took i...

“Where am I?” I wonder aloud. A large bedroom appears before me. I have never seen anything like this before—wait, maybe it was in an ad. The decoration is minimal and everything is incredibly neat and tidy. Even the books seem to be organized both by size and author last name. There is a large bed with fluffy pillows in the center. It seems very relaxing…

“Wait! I can’t.” I have to get back to w...

I think of my childhood bedroom often. The sense of space it provided, the four, white walls colored with posters of people and places that were my life then but mean nothing to me now. The clothes in the hamper, for mother to do later. CDs lining the shelves, and band flags hanging around, with no rhyme or reason. There was no order to that room, but it made sense to me. When I think back on it n...

I sit back and pick apart the interaction.

What the fuck was that?

I then draw back to reality, someone tried to rape me.

My heart surges and squeezes as disgust and anger flow through me.

Despite my accusations, I half believed this stranger, his reaction portrayed sincerity that I doubt a guilty man could. But then again.

You can’t even trust the nice ones.

Before I can contain it a sob bursts ...

I was walking in an alleyway when I come across a homeless man. The man was begging for money and was in what looked to be rags. I threw some coins in his cup that he left out but he did not seem pleased. The man got up from his spot and grabbed me. The man began to repeatedly punch me until I was knocked out. Blood was getting everywhere and I couldn’t tell if it was mine from being punched or th...

I move my body languidly, stretching until a wave of serenity swells throughout my body. Silk caresses my skin as I stir, waking. The scent of clean cotton and citrus overwhelms my senses. I rub my eyes until my vision whirls and dances before me. I look out into my bedroom staring out at the pink hue of the sky. My gaze falls upon my photo frames sitting on the wall to my left.

Oh. Thats odd.

As I opened my eyes, I saw the light that came into by bedroom from my window. I was blinded by the light (reference to a song🤣). I turned on my led lights and got out of my bed.

I turned my fan off and picked up my phone. I hopped onto daily prompt to start writing but something caught my eye. Something I didn’t see before. I look out my window and instead of seeing a grand forest with a blue ...
