Everything became a matter of touch and sound. I felt the mist swirling around my body like a thick, living liquid, heavier than the water above. It felt oily and cold against my skin. Then, I felt something brushed past my ankle. Then something else flicked against my arm. I felt the slick, muscular slide of bodies moving through the fog, circling us. I desperately hoped they were just large fish.

I squeezed Jinkyu’s hand until my knuckles ached. He was my only anchor in this blin

  • 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

  • The new worlder   Threat

    "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

  • The new worlder   FUCK! IT HURTS!

    I woke up to Monty’s shouts outside the door. "She’s here? She’s alive?" I didn’t know how long I had sat under the spray of the water yesterday, crying until my eyes burned. By the time I had crawled out, the house was dark and everyone had already gone to bed. I had peeled off my wet, ruined clothes and looked at the gash on my arm. Too exhausted to care, I simply tied a sweatshirt around it, hoping for the best. I had walked into our room and collapsed into bed. There, I had buried my face in his pillow, breathing in his scent, and cried some more.Help me... Connie. Help me... Connie. Nooo.It was a dream, the same sentence, over and over again, haunting my sleep. Was it a trick, or did he actually need help? Hadn't I told him I would help him when I first arrived? Why couldn't I? Because he kills people. He is a walking instrument of torture. I pulled on some clothes and stepped out into the hallway to check on

  • The new worlder   New Worlder. Constance. C. Connie.

    New Worlder. Constance. C. Connie.There is only one person who called me Connie. And he is supposed to be at home, waiting for me. "It’s not true," I whispered to the empty air. "It can’t be true." I tried to rationalize it, my mind racing to find any other explanation. Noxius has horns, Miles doesn't. Noxius has those obsidian claws, Miles has hands that held me tenderly just hours ago. They don't even have the same build. It had to be a mistake. Noxius must have overheard my name and just decided to taunt me with a nickname in the heat of battle. That happens... right? People do that. But the seed of doubt had already taken root, cold and heavy in my stomach. I had to get home. I had to check on Monty and his broken arm, and I had to see Miles. I needed to see him standing there, brooding and whole, just to prove to myself that the nightmare I just fought wasn't the same man I had just given myself to.I started to run, ignoring the st
