In this prison, inmates are nothing but breathing property. And me? I’m the most defiant piece of filth in this private cage. Aaron is the man who holds the key—a warden rumored to have no soul and even fewer weaknesses. He was always a statue in black. Uniform pressed to perfection. Buttons fastened to the throat. Boots polished like mirrors. He watched us from his raised platform with eyes like winter—cold, distant, untouchable. Until that midnight. When an “infraction” earned me a personal summon to his private quarters.

My eyes circle numerous shadows of slaves that surround me, each one as they emerge from chaos, before turning to Shades that still stand before me quietly, their eyes of night watching me as still as a statue. I approach her, circling her quietly, noting that even her scent remains the same. That her shadow carried this too. Its head shifts with my movements, for it knows that I am familiar. Unlike shadows that cower beneath me, it remains unshaken. Truly her. I pause right before her, eyes scanning her face. The only one formed between the other frames of shadow that gather around me. I look desperately at the shadow as if it is the only one that can save me, scanning its empty eyes, and t

“You thought you could escape? The game has only begun.” --- The Shadows Strike The library was plunged into darkness. Anna felt the book in her hands grow heavier, its leather cover vibrating faintly. “Stay close!” she shouted, but her voice was swallowed by the oppressive silence. A faint glow emerged from the shelves, revealing twisted figures with hollow eyes and jagged grins. They moved unnaturally, their bodies bending and snapping as they approached. “Run!” Logan yelled, grabbing Sophia’s hand.The group scattered, their footsteps pounding against the floor. Anna held onto the journal tightly, her mind racing. The book and mirror weren’t just cursed—they were anchors for the shadows.

This was our only way forward. Minseok moved first, his movements fluid and precise as he slashed at the creeping shadows. They recoiled with a hiss, retreating momentarily before surging forward again, more aggressive than before.

But then, as if responding to our defiance, the shadows parted, revealing a narrow, precarious bridge made of shimmering light.

When she woke up for a second time, bright lights flashed in her eyes and when she adjusted, she frowned. Years ago, Philip had taken a government job to create a floating prison. The world was filled with sickos who hated women and when they were caught, they were transferred to the ship Karma and now Claura was the only woman on board for the next five years. She would never escape, they would keep

I offer him the courtesy of an ending equal to his craft. Dennise shadows him along a lower seam, her heat signature a cooled thread. Luca ghosts the high lines. Yelena kisses locks open with a filament and a sigh. Emir’s van hums where I told it to hum.
