The new worlder A hand
The weight vanishes from my back, but before I can even process the release, a sharp, pained whimper echoes from one of the creatures. Suddenly, I’m yanked upward by the collar of my mantle. A powerful shove sends me stumbling forward, and my instincts take over. I start running, my boots clattering against the stone, desperate to put distance between me and the monsters. I can hear the heavy thud of a creature right on my heels. I refuse to look back, I don't want to see the jaws or the claws. I’m running blind, my mind a blur of terror, when I realize I’m heading straight for a narrow opening in the mountainside. No, I think, panic flaring. I’m not going in there. It’s a cage.I try to pivot, shifting my weight step by step to turn back toward the valley, but the presence behind me is too fast. A grip like iron clamps down on my arm, and I am violently hauled into the dark mouth of the cave, dropping my knife in the proc

It was significantly faster than I was. Its powerful hind legs propelled it upward with terrifying ease, those yellow eyes locked onto me as it closed the distance. The mist swirled around its blue-spotted frame, making it look like a ghost of the mountain, coming to claim the time I had left. The Goemul lashed out with its massive paw, and I heard the sickening sound of my mantle tearing as the claws raked across the fabric. I instinctively shielded my face with my arms and threw myself backward, rolling down the jagged cliffside. The world became a dizzying blur of gray stone, and I prayed that gravity would make me faster on the way down than the beast was on the way up.When I finally stopped tumbling, I scrambled to my feet, my head throbbing. Looking back, I saw the Goemul picking its way carefully down the rocks, its movements stiff and cautious to avoid slipping. I tried to bolt in the opposite direction, but the world wouldn't stop spinning. The gro
The new worlder Goemul
A gnawing ache grew in my chest, a mixture of grief over my numbered days and pure, sheer terror of what was waiting up there. My fingers trembled as I tightened the mantle around my shoulders. I had to keep going, but with every meter the forest retreated, it felt as if I were leaving safety behind for good. I was prey walking straight into the hunter's territory. I scrambled over the massive boulders, my muscles aching as I fought for every inch of progress. Then, I saw them, two enormous rocks that looked as if they had once been a single mountain, now split down the middle. Between them lay a narrow path of loose pebbles, waiting to lead me into the heart of the mountain.A thick, heavy mist clung to the space between the stones, completely obscuring what lay ahead. I took a deep breath, trying to steady my racing heart, and stepped into the fog. As I emerged on the other side, I found myself in a hidden valley of solid stone tucked between the peaks, where ja

"About you and Miles...""I don't want to talk about it," I interrupted, my voice tight."I understand, but... have you chosen him? My cards are still on the table, face up for you to see." I reached up and cupped his cheek, feeling the warmth of his skin. He caught my wrist, his gaze intense. "It was quite clear to everyone in the Pentagon when you were together." My cheeks flushed deep red. He moved my hand down between us, threading his fingers through mine, studying our joined hands. "I can make you feel better," he whispered, looking up at me."Maybe," I said, offering him a sad, small smile. "I just have to... talk to him first.""And after that, you’re with me?" he asked, pressing a lingering kiss to the back of my hand. I let out a soft, dry laugh. "I don't know how I feel yet.""I think you do. Deep down, you just have to listen to your heart." He let go of my hand and pulled me into a hug. "I’ll accept whatever you
The new worlder Monster
Seeing Ruth change is like watching a storybook come to life. Her entire little body is covered in fluffy yellow-ish feathers that looks so soft you just want to bury your face in it. But beneath all that softness are thin bird legs with sharp, black claws. Her large, brown eyes blink curiously at me, and the white markings above them give her an almost human expression of surprise. Her oversized ears twitch at every tiny sound from the forest, and her little yellow beak lets out a soft squeak. Only her small black horns remain the same, poking through the fluff, the only part of her that stayed recognizable. We walked out into the open field and lay down in the tall grass. We stayed there, watching the clouds drift by in the vast sky above. Ruth let out occasional little squeaks, but I couldn't understand a word of what she was saying. As the wind rustled the blades of grass around us, I lay there and thought about everything. I thought about my own numbered da
The new worlder I'm not going anywhere
Ruth paused, looking up at me, the tweezers still in her hand. "Well... you see... almost all New-Worlders go home eventually.""I'm not going anywhere," I said, my voice rising with a sudden, desperate panic. "I want to stay here. With you guys. With..." With Miles. I couldn't even say it. "Yes, I would love for you to stay, but..." Ruth sighed, a look of pity crossing her face. "It happens anyway. The world pulls you back.”"But you said almost!" I countered, my mind racing. "There must be people who stayed!""Those who didn't go back when their time was up..." Ruth hesitated, her voice dropping to a whisper. "They had already lost their lives. You will go home, Connie. Sooner or later. I thought you knew that?" I looked down at the silver bugs clamped onto my skin. "How long?" I whispered, my eyes burning. "How much time is left on my clock, Ruth?""I’m not sure," Ruth said, her voice dropping as she looked away. "It
