He feels like falling, no, he is really falling.Chris extended his hand, trying to grab anything to save himself but all he could grasp is darkness. He anticipated death but he felt his back hit something soft instead. He opened his eyes, quickly got up and scanned the place. He is currently sitting on a king sized bed, in a room painted red and black.Sounds of laughter echoed the room, like two people are having the time of their lives. Chris tried searching for the source of the voice but failed, and also realized that the room has no doors or any way out.Panic started hitting his system, “Who is that?” He asked but the voices continued laughing and this time, more people are laughing until it is incomprehensible.It was simply maddening.The voices started to get louder every passing second. Chris tried getting out of the bed but a pair of arms emerged from the bed and grabbed him by the neck. He is pinned back to the bed

‘So this is how it feels…’Random thoughts kept lingering on Chris’ mind, as if someone else is controlling it. He sees several memories, some happy, and most are the saddest moments of his life. He closed his eyes. He could almost feel every moment again, like it is currently happening.Chris is being embraced by the demon or at least, that’s how Chris perceives it. He was being enveloped by the demon’s darkness. He doesn’t feel any physical pain, only the utter silence and coldness which he unusually feels refuge. He thinks it was ridiculous, he really thought that the demon would bite him or anything similar to feed on him.His mind starts to wander, he wanted to see them more. Even though he is well aware that it was all in the past. He simply wanted to see them again; alive and smiling at each other like all other “head-over-heels to each other” couples. He missed it, how long has it been since

“Please take your seats.” The man inside said. Chris politely sat, he’s not nervous as he was earlier but he still can’t do eye contact to any of them. He is afraid that he would reveal every weakness he has the moment he meets their eyes. “Welcome to Fantasia, Chris. It’s your first time going here, am I right?” The man greeted. He only sees the man in internet pictures, the CEO and founder of Fantasia Co., Henry Davis. Chris estimated that the man is already in his early 60’s. From the articles that he had read in the past, he is known to be a generous man. The company always does numerous charity events, environmental campaigns and all sorts. But it’s a lot different now that he’s facing the CEO. He looks very intimidating even with the old age. “My mother brought me here once, but it was for a short time. It was back when they just got employed.” Chris answered in detail. He remembered being introduced to other employees but he can’t recall their faces an

The demon that Damien called as Linus is smiling arrogantly. Linus is still busy feeding from Joaqin who’s obviously flustered. Everyone could see how his face is flushing, from embarrassment or anger, Chris can’t really tell. Joaqin pushed Linus away after regaining his composure. The demon laughed merrily, “You’re blushing!” “Shut up demon.” Chris knows that it is wrong to judge people from their first meeting, but Linus is getting on his nerves. He’s more arrogant than Damien! Linus didn’t mind Joaqin’s burst out, “Miss me?” Linus said with a playful smile. Damien snorted, “As if. It’s been a while though. I really thought you were killed somewhere.” Linus pursed his lips like a child sulking to his parents. “What’s with the cold treatment? Here I am so excited to meet you again after…5 years? Or was it 7?” Both Chris and Joaqin totally felt out of place, both are asking why they in their current situation. Joaqin cl

“What’s with that outfit?” Chris grimaced. Damien is wearing an oversized sweater, and large eyeglasses. Damien placed the laptop bag he’s holding at Chris’ study table and quickly retaliated, “You don’t have any fashion sense in you so don’t you dare critique my outfit.” Chris rolled his eyes but he’s curious to what is up. Damien pulled the laptop out and casually sat beside Chris on the bed. Chris crossed his legs and waited for the demon to settle. He still wonders where the demon gets all of his things but Chris knows that the demon wouldn’t answer decently so he won’t bother asking. He doesn't want to induce more stress to himself. “What are you doing?” Chris asked as Damien opens the laptop. He is too curious to wait patiently. Damien pulled out the flash drive he stole from Fantasia, “We’ll check the flash drive now.” Damien answered and plugged the flash drive. “I have my own laptop you know.” Chris answered and pointed his laptop placed on t
