“What are we doing here, Chris? Why did you even invite me to this? You know I don’t like poetry,” Josh complained as they arrived inside the poetry house.“A good friend of mine invited me to come and said I could bring a friend so I decided to bring you because I know you’ve been feeling down lately and nothing motivates better than some heartfelt words, right? Besides, it’s better than sitting at home, pining over Isabelle. You need this, man!” Chris said to him as they took their seats.“Maybe for you, I don’t want to be here. Why didn’t you tell me that this was where you were taking me?” Josh whined.“Because I knew you’d say no,” Chris said with a smile and forced Josh into his seat.The large room was packed with a handful of people who were all taking their seats and there was a little stage just a few paces in front because Chris had taken Josh to a poetry recital.A well-dressed woman walked over to their table with a charming smile on her face directed at Chris.“Chris, da
Josh was sparring in the gym with Chris and Frank, trying to blow off some steam because of his last conversation with Isabelle. He needed to get his mind off her or he was sure he’d go crazy. His pent-up rage was starting to resurface, the rage he had since he was a kid but didn’t know why, rage inherited Garin after he was reincarnated in him but Josh didn’t know this so he struggled with understanding where his anger came from.He was in the boxing ring with Chris while Frank was outside the ring, pumping him up with words of encouragement. He had his gloves on while Chris wore the protective padding suit so Josh could hammer away his anger on him.“Come on, Josh. Let’s see what you got,” Chris said.“Yeah, get him, Josh,” Frank said from outside the ring.Josh moved closer to Chris and began to offload a flurry of punches on his torso. He was completely focused and hit as hard as he could and Chris was lucky to have been wearing the protective gear otherwise he would have crashed
859 AD “Hannah, wait up,” Garin called out as he ran to her. “Come on, you slow man. The boats are not going to wait around all day,” She said with a smile and waited for him to catch up. “I’m coming. I’m running as fast as I can,” Garin said with some heavy luggage in his hands. He reached Hannah and she took some of the bags from him. “I told you to let me carry more but no, you needed to be a man,” she teased him as she took the bags. “You’re my wife and I promised to always treat you like a queen and queens don’t carry around heavy luggage,” He said. “I’m no queen, Garin,” She said to him. “You’re my queen,” He said and they kissed. “Now, come on, let’s go. We’re late,” She said and the couple picked up the pace. They reached the docks and saw the many boats that were already being filled with so many people who were travelling to various destinations worldwide. After the couple had come to terms with the death of their son, they spent three more years in the same home
Back in the hospital, Josh was speaking with his friends about what to do with Isabelle in the same hospital with him. He didn’t know if he should go and see her or not and it was even harder to decide when Chris told him that Neo came with her.“This is crazy! Why this hospital of all hospitals?” Frank asked in frustration.“That’s the question you’re asking? How about the fact that she’s here for the same reason as Josh is?” Chris asked.“Guys, focus! What do I do about this?” Josh asked.“What do you think you should do?” Frank asked him.Josh wasn’t sure at all. He was about to decide when his doctor suddenly walked into his room to tell him about his condition.“Hi there, Mr Clinton,” the doctor greeted.“Hello doctor,” Josh responded.“So, your MRI scans just came back and I’m pleased to tell you that you have nothing to worry about because your brain activity is normal and there are no abnormalities in any way,” The doctor said.“That’s great news,” Chris said happily and Frank
Gentel took out her wings and used them to navigate through the void of the realm that she was, inside the nexus of Isabelle’s subconscious. She floated around for a few minutes, searching around for Hannah but all she saw were different spirals of colours and shapeless shapes hovering around.“Where are you hiding inside this awful mind?” Gentel asked herself.She moved around for a few minutes longer until she came across a bright light just up ahead. She didn’t know what the light was but it was the brightest thing in this place so she decided to get closer to it.She flew closer and closer until she arrived at the light. She could barely keep her eyes open because of how bright it was. Gentel wasn’t sure what it was because it didn’t have a known form and didn’t look physical.“What the hell are you?” She wondered and reached out a hand to touch the light.As soon as her hand made contact with it, the light exploded like a supernova and it blasted Gentel away from it with a very p
Josh went into his apartment and slammed his door shut in frustration because he was so annoyed with Isabelle. He couldn’t believe that she was still convinced that he had feelings for Jennifer and it hurt to think that she may never trust him again and they wouldn’t get back together.He went into his kitchen and grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge. He downed the entire content into his body and sighed in satisfaction as he finished it.He decided to take a shower because he felt dirty and with that, he went into his bathroom and turned on the water. The warm water fell all over his skin and it felt like magic. After he was done, he walked over to the little tub and was about to brush his teeth. He opened the cabinet and took out his brush and paste and when he closed it, he was staring at the mirror on the cover of the cabinet but the face he saw wasn’t his; it was Garin’s.He blinked almost immediately he saw the mirror and his face returned in it. Josh wasn’t sure what had
“An entire night? They had control of their bodies for an entire night,” God said to himself with Fawn and Gabriel standing behind him.He didn’t like how quickly the situation was escalating and it made him worry a bit. If Hannah and Garin obtained full control of Isabelle and Josh’s bodies, breaking their love chain would be next to impossible. They needed to be stopped.“Why don’t you just call off the bet with Lucifer?” Fawn asked Him.“You know I cannot do that, Fawn and even if I did, Lucifer will not agree to it,” He said.“So what if he doesn’t agree? You don’t answer to him.” Gabriel said.“You know it’s not as simple as that, Gabriel. We’ll just have to find a way to break the love chain and to accomplish that, we must send Hannah and Garin back to Harlem,” God said.“But how, father? The demons weren’t able to defeat them,” Fawn said.God looked at her with an expression on his face and Fawn immediately understood what it meant. She started shaking her head, unwilling to do
861 AD . . .Two years had passed since Garin and Hannah washed up on the Island. It had taken them a considerable amount of time to adapt to living on the island and although they had first thought about building a boat to get off it, they changed their minds and decided to spend their life there with just each other and no one else.They did make a boat but it was neither big nor sturdy enough to sail them across the vast ocean so they used it to sail into the reef to catch fish for their meals.They also gathered wood and other items within those two years and used them to build a tree house where they lived. Their life was simple and peaceful. It was a normal routine that was free from any difficulty or hardship and while they would work all day to maintain their way of living, they’d make sweet love all night long to alleviate the stress of the day.As peaceful as their lives were, Hannah always felt like it would one day come to an end. She couldn’t shake the feeling that som
