The wolf stepped closer to me. Of course, I tried to step back. But my back hit the wall immediately and I have never felt more paralyzed while standing.I stared at the wolf’s grey eyes. Perhaps it was the fear, but I felt a sense of déjà vu as if I had seen those eyes somewhere.At that moment, I remembered what I had watched on the National Geographic channel. Pack animals like wolves would leave you be if you submit to them. So, I started to lower myself on the ground. My eyes never left the wolf, who looked at me… with amusement? I was not sure of myself. The only thing I was sure of was that I was not ready to die.

Something heavy was crushing my head, turning every ounce of my brain into a gooey jelly liquid. In another word, I got a massive headache as soon as I woke up. What’s worse was the searing pain coming from my left neck. As soon as that superstar slash werewolf slash vampire slash a being that cannot be tolerated with science and facts went away, I spent ten minutes staring at my plasma TV screen. I stared at the black nothingness that reflected myself looking like a lost lamb. I could not make sense of anything! I wanted so bad for that night to be a dream or a hallucination.

“You won’t believe what just happened to me just hours ago.” I sat next to Mateo on his bed, just chilling with him while watching the blond bob-haircut woman on the news. We were waiting for any signs of side effects after the administration of the daily dosage. I was supposed to observe him for only ten minutes, repeat the process to other clinical patients, and submit the report to Marc. As soon as I finished my round, I went back to Mateo’s room because I wanted to say goodbye to him before I went to my afternoon class.  But when Mrs. Russo saw me, her smile immediately bloomed and she told us, “I’ll take a walk for a moment. You two enjoy yourselves.” She ended up ‘taking a walk’ for a couple of hours. And since Mateo c

“WhaaaaAAAAA!” Before I could finish my question, gravity had left my body.You know that feeling you get when you ride a rollercoaster? That was exactly how I felt. My stomach churned with tingling sensations as my feet dangled in the air. For support, I grabbed the collar of the man holding me in bridal style.When I had my eyes on his figure, my jaw dropped.Behind him, a huge pair of majestic white wings spread like a glorious white flag in the night sky. Yes, white flag. Just go along with it, would you? By now, you should have known that my brain is messed up

The haunted mansion –I meant mansion. Just regular mansion. Despite the fact that vines covered ninety percent of the walls, the bricks were undone in some parts, and the wooden patio gave eerie creaking sounds. Definitely, just a regular mansion.However, the inside of it left me almost breaking my jaw from opening it too much. It was unexpectedly majestic. I half expected the inside to be broken like how it was seen from the outside. But I was wrong. The ceramic floor
