MONSTERS LURKING IN THE DARK-Sam? Are you here? -I hear Brandon's voice downstairs. What's he doing here? Jay was still lying in bed, his eyes closed as he clung to my pillow. Maybe he's asleep. I stand up ready to go to Brandon but part of me didn't want to leave Jay, I just wanted to lie down next to him and that's it.-Sam, I need to talk to you!-I'm coming, Brandon! Wait a minute! -I hesitated to leave but finally turned around and walked out of my room. As I walk down the stairs I see Brandon standing there, when he looks at me he walks over to me. -What's wrong?-It's just that... Well, Lalo doesn't want to go back to his place of death. He says he won't be separated from his daughters now that he could see them again. It's dangerous for him to stay here, far from the place where he died.-Maybe being in his daughters' house nothing will happen to him, he will be safe there, don't you think? I mean, he won't get out of there.-You don't understand, it's as if you were going to

THE SCHOOL THAT WAS ONCE A CEMETERYFear.It is that fear you feel of what you don't know, of what may or may not be real. Fear often saves your life, but other times it prevents you from living. In this case we are talking about a somewhat real fear. Since I have been here in limbo, I have not seriously thought about it.I am dead.I am trapped between the living and the dead.I see dead people who passed away many years ago.But I have realized many things and regret things I did or didn't do in life. There are more important things than worrying about what I'm going to wear today or they are sure to talk bad about me. That's not worth anything, it's not worth wasting time like that. There are more important things like love, being brave, facing fears, saying what you feel, being yourself. These are difficult things but they are the main thing.-Sam! -I turn to my left, I see Brandon coming with flashlights and such. I was sitting in front of my house, looking at the neighborhood ki

REMEMBER ME EVEN WHEN YOU DON'T WANT TO REMEMBER-What are you doing here? -I spat. It couldn't be that wherever we went he was there. And now I think it's not a coincidence. I rather think he is following us.-This is... my job," he said. He was wearing a black cap that prevented me from seeing his face completely, more than it was half dark," the question here will be: what are you doing here? Sam, you're out of your place of death. As are you, Brandon.-We're not afraid of you," Brandon says, stepping in front of me like a shield.-Well, you should be, kid," the guy faces him. I'm feeling a little scared now.-Stop it! -I get between the two of them, "What's your name? -I turn to the guy, "Look, I don't know who you are or what you want from us, but we're here because I need answers about me, about what happened to me. That's all. We are not hurting anyone, can you let us work? -I told him as calmly as possible.-I know that very well," he folded his arms.-Then what do you want fr

ARE THERE SUCH THINGS AS SOUL MATES? IF THEY ARE NOT HAPPY IN ONE LIFE, THEY TRY TO BE HAPPY IN ANOTHER ONE.When I arrive in front of my house, I stand in front of it for a moment looking at it. I was hoping Jay was in my room, I was hoping to lie down next to him, to feel him close. I wanted to go back to him. But now I knew I had a purpose here. I can't do it though, I don't want to be a soul releaser because I don't feel capable. Besides, being a soul releaser means being here forever and not living again. Is that my answer? I won't live? I hope I am wrong because if so I will be devastated forever, for all eternity.I went to my house and walked through the door. I haven't seen mom for days, why isn't she coming? I walk up the stairs and stop in front of my bedroom door will Jay still be here? If not I will have to go to his house as I had said today. I would go with Jay, at least I would see him and feel him a little closer.When I walk through the door Jay is not there. He's no

EVIL ALWAYS PREYS ON THE FAINTEST OF HEARTAs I run out of the bathroom and into Jay's room, my heart is pounding.... Did I say heart? I put my hand on my chest and felt my heart pounding. That scared me. It was all so long and so strange that I didn't think about anything else. I needed answers fast. I needed to get out of here. I calmed down a little as I slowly paced Jay's room. I had never been in here before, I had an idea of more or less what it was like from pictures he sent me sometimes.I noticed that on a nightstand there were two books. One said A Thousand Times Till Forever and the other was How to Disappear. They were the books I had given to Jay. Next to the books was a bracelet. I had also given it to him. It made me feel at ease to see that Jay is always looking for ways to be close to me or at least feel me. In a corner, next to a window was his bed and on top of it was my boyfriend. He was sleeping. He had his breathing slow. He looked peaceful like that.I walked ov

THE SEA IS AS IMMENSE AS THE LOVE WE FEEL FOR EACH OTHER"Come. Take me from the pain, it's dark and I don't hear your voice. I just want to breathe, the night is going to kill me."-Kudai -Take me.-If I were alive I would bring my cell phone and take pictures of all this paradise.-If I were alive I would enjoy touching the sand, feeling the sea water, feeling the sun on my skin.I looked at Brandon.-Sometimes you're corny.What he had said had sounded so poetic to me.-When I grew up I wanted to be a writer," he says.-Why when I grew up? There are many teenagers who write at your age. And they are very good.We were lying on the sand, under a tree, while watching people come and go. It was a nice day. I didn't feel so much sadness in my heart today. And that was a good sign.-I know, but it does me no good to regret now the things I didn't do when I was alive," he commented.-I know. Now we're just left with the what-ifs.-Why don't you like cloudy days? -he asks me.-I don't kno

THE SUN LIGHTS YOUR WAY-How do you feel? -I asked Sol. It was getting dark, the sun had set a while ago. The waves of the sea could be heard in the distance. The tide had gone out a little. The moonlight was shining on us, the night was blue. Sitting on the sand, Brandon, Sol and I were silent.-I don't even know what I feel," he replied, his voice now muffled. It wasn't like the Sol of a few hours ago: so lively and cheerful.When Sol looked at her dead body in the sand she was static and speechless so we sat under a tree in the sand and let her calm down. The people left, Sol's body was taken away and her mom left too. The beach was empty. I could still hear Sol's screams as she was drowning in the sea. They were echoes that remained in my mind.Sol had spent the whole time silent, saying nothing, thinking, suffering inside. While she was speechless, Brandon took the opportunity to tell her what was happening to her just now. But she didn't react, she just listened, expressionless.

EVEN IN THE AFTERLIFE, AND THOUGH A THOUSAND LIVES MAY PASS, I WILL LOOK FOR YOU."In another life, I'd be your girl." -Are you all right? -Sol approaches me. I was still in the kitchen and for a moment I had forgotten that Sol was still here. I was thinking about Brandon and what he will do that I didn't remember anyone else.-Yeah, I was just thinking about some things," I replied.-I couldn't help but overhear what you talked about with Brandon, I don't know, I think my ears were just sharpened from being here. I swear I didn't move from the couch.-Don't worry, don't worry," I smiled at her.-If you want an opinion, I think what that Charles guy did was a little selfish.-That's what Brandon told me.-It's obvious that Charles is in love with you," he said.I looked at her funny.-No," I laughed, "that can't be. He barely knows me.-Now that I'm here, in limbo, nothing seems impossible to me. Do you believe in past lives?I frowned.-I don't know, why?-I believe in those thin

I HAVE FOLLOWED YOU FOR SEVERAL LIFETIMES AND I WILL FOLLOW YOU FOREVER. I was a little confused. I didn't understand what was going on or why there was a newspaper from many years ago with a picture identical to me and one identical to Jay. It was him. The picture was barely visible but it was him, it was us, there was no doubt about it. It felt special to know that, if it were true, Jay and I would meet again. It means we belong together.Isn't that romantic?I picked up the paper and slowly sat down on the couch without taking my eyes off the sheet of paper. There were so many things I was beginning to think about, so many doubts now, many more than I had before. I realized that everything was connected, that maybe I had to come here for something, to do something or to know something. Jay and I were married in another life, what happened to us?-You need to read this, Sam," Brandon says, handing me another piece of newsprint.I take it and read it:Newlyweds die in tragic acciden

"I really want to spread my legs," I answered, snarling my fingers. Likewise, I'll look for a candy machine, I'm starving."My God, hellfire." I'm heartbroken, love. On the off chance that you need to, we should better go to the cafeteria, I'll get you whatever you want, he tells me, standing up and taking out his wallet."Relax, a couple of treats will be enough for me." "Besides, I'm bringing cash." However, for dinner I want to get a double cheeseburger or a monster burrito.“I think I've been anxious too,” he murmurs, rubbing his stomach with a busy air. I prick my lower lip and smile."I'll get you something from the machine then, then." I linger stealthily to lay a pure, momentary kiss on the mouth, then at that point I turn and walk away in the right direction.I know this place as well as the staff who work here, perhaps surprisingly better than they do, so I know exactly which passages to track down the candy machines. Also, I realize that the director of theCafeteria is my
