While I'm not a fan of air travel, the promise of going back to my hometown after years of living in Granata kept me tethered to sanity.Jason, his head lolling peacefully against the headrest, was oblivious to the torment that plagued me. I tried to surrender to sleep, but even the podcast I usually listen to when drifting off, a soothing melody at other times, now throbbed in my temples. I clutched my head, the throbbing pain making me considering taking a painkiller the soonest we landed.Desperate for relief, I pushed myself to my feet, the cabin's cramped confines pressing against me like a suffocating embrace. As I stumbled towards the lavatory, Jason stirred, his eyes heavy with exhaustion."Everything alright, Lana?" he asked, his voice a low rumble."I tried to sleep," I replied, my voice a hoarse whisper. "But... perhaps I'll be able to rest better in the hotel.""Alright," he said,

I began to piece together the missing fragment of consciousness."Come on, Lana, wake up." a voice I knew well broke through the chaos in my mind.Struggling against the heaviness, I pry my eyes open. It felt like an eternity before my surroundings came into focus. I was lying on the warm rooftop floor of my high school back in my hometown.The waning sun hung low in the sky, casting its golden rays across the rooftop. These radiant beams played a silent dance and flickered like ethereal flames upon my face. The warmth caressed my skin, starkly contrasting the cold, hard concrete surface beneath me. I remember this scenery, but something was missing from here...A shadow loomed over me, and I strained my gaze to get a clearer view of the figure. The features of the face b

The Girl He Promised to Protect Shadow of the Past
When I looked in the mirror, I saw a face plagued by forgotten tragedies, a face that held answers to questions I didn't know how to ask.The remnants of that dreadful day were like shards of a shattered mirror, each shard revealing a piece of the truth I couldn't fathom.It seemed as if the fabric of reality itself had ripped, leaving me alone in a world of half-truths and shadows.Naomi Jang's face appeared out of nowhere in my thoughts, a specter of sadness and loss. I knew she was significant, like a missing puzzle piece, but her importance remained tantalizingly out of grasp.

The Girl He Promised to Protect Jane Doe
I swear I noticed a moment of hesitancy in his eyes. But he expressed his desire for it with yet another kind gesture. "Is something wrong, Lana? Hmm?""Jason, how did he die?" I persisted in getting a response.He sighed and said, "Lana." exhaling deeply. He puts his hands on my shoulders and makes sure I look into his eyes. "Lana, pay attention to me. When will you finally let him go—fifteen years was a very long time—?"At his statement, I quickly regretted being petty on an unidentified flash of memory, I'm probably still sick from the encounter last night. I start questioning my mental health state at this moment, what's wrong with me anyway...?Running away from his gaze, I sighed in despair. "I probably..."Buzzzzz... buzz...The vibrating of my smartphone tore off our conversation, at least saving me from this awkward moment. I immediately reached for my phone.

"Call the teacher!! She's going to die by falling!" In an instant, the entire scenario devolved into turmoil. "What kind of show is this, isn't that Naomi?" Sunni asked, a popsicle in her other hand.
