              You can’t move. You can’t speak. And you can barely breathe. Your chest feels like it’s on fire, burning with excruciating pain as impossibly frigid air struggles to make its way in and out of your lungs. Your lips tremble uncontrollably, prickled with pain and an encroaching numbness, your teeth chattering viciously. It’s cold. So cold. You’re surrounded by complete whiteness. Flurries swirl in your face, masses of snowflakes falling onto your static body, landing on your eyes, their frigidness seeping into your… Read More

        Bloodprints         Exactly four and a half minutes, two potential solutions, and countless grumbles and complaints—from both Reapers and merpeople—later, everyone has finally dispersed, leaving the previously active scene desolate. Aside from the sound of ocean waves and rippling water, it’s completely silent—a stark contrast from the tense atmosphere just moments ago. At least it was worth it. In spite of all the chaos and unrest, the merpeople had agreed to your suggestion; the clans who are more adaptable to life on land… Read More

        Xenfromine         You keep your eyes on the back of the pharmacist’s head, focusing on his salt and pepper hair to keep yourself from looking at his white lab coat as much as possible. You need to do everything you can to keep any unpleasant memories at bay while you’re in here. He disappears into one of the aisles momentarily and you continue to try to keep calm as you look around warily, finding yourself surrounded by several shelves of medicine and drugs… Read More

        Pressing Issues         You sigh deeply, feeling weak and defeated. You’d been the last person—the very last, apparently—to find out about her marriage, and it obviously isn’t mere happenstance. Talk about hauling a huge bag of salt onto a dozen gunshot wounds. It clearly goes without saying, but you ask anyway. “I take it you know about her impending marriage?” “I do,” he admits, his words crushing you further. “Her mother was the one who broke the news to me during her visit… Read More
