Exploding Head Syndrome Third Eye Novels & Stories

Not even me. I have something else, too. A third eye set into my forehead, secret and unseen. It sits a half inch above the bridge of my nose. It’s big and it’s round, and it’s the deepest, glossiest black. It shines like it’s wet, even though I’ve never cried out of it. It’s not an eye I use like a normal eye. Most of the time it keeps itself closed, and when it’s closed my flesh-and-blood eyes are open. When it’s open, my normal eyes are shut. What my real eyes show me and what this other eye says is real don’t always match. The way a black and white photograph and its color version can’t be considered identical, even though they’re both of the same thing and were taken at the same time. S

“I felt like my spinal was going to burn but my head felt cool.” “What else?” Zadi was interested to hear anything more from Elise. “I felt something was on my forehead.” She continued with a slight frown. The others gasped. Zadi clapped her hands happily. “I did it!” “You did what?” Elise asked, still confused. “I opened your third eye,” the pygmy’s reply. “Oh, my God!

The cure is supposed to be absorbed into their blood and brought to the brain, but instead, the body sees it as a threat, refuses to absorb it, and sends it to the nearest exit. The mothers at the time were mindless monsters but had the full brain capacity to control every part of their bodies consciously. Normally these things would be run on a loop and are done unconsciously but they were able to do it. Which is why I assume they grew 3 heads to be capable of this. But I'm not really sure myself since, I didn't have the chance to dissect and study any of them." Troublemaker explained as he showed his notes to Galahad. Galahad sa

When she spoke, her voice fractured into layers, each one echoing with the edge of something infinite. “The First ascends,” she whispered. “The Second hungers. The Third remembers.” A cold spear of dread slid down my spine. “There’s a third?” Her smile tore at the edges, a shape that didn’t belong on a human mouth. “There is always a third.” Auren moved between us, his chest rising and falling too fast. Not fear—pure calculation. “What does it want with her?” Lyris didn’t look at him. She only stared at me.

One morning, as I sat in our chambers trying to eat some bread to settle my stomach, the worst vision hit me like heavy waves. I saw the triplets—not as babies, but older, their faces was clear. Two of them shone brightly, full of that divine energy we'd all felt since the ritual. But the third... gods, the third had eyes like black holes, it had shadows leaking from their skin. It wasn't just one of them turning dark, it was something else, a fourth thing pretending to be one of my babies. A shadow twin, born from the void's rot, feeding on my power like a leech. Disguised so well I couldn't tell which heartbeat was real and which was the parasite.

I can see glimpses of the future. I pay the price of using this power with intense headaches and nosebleeds. After only three seconds into the future, my head starts to hurt and it doesn’t even start slow. It suddenly starts to hurt so much that I often feel like my head will explode. Within seconds, my nose would start to bleed and, eventually, I would pass out.

An unassuming gray-haired old man who was clad in a blue robe opened his eyes abruptly. The world around the person seemed to turn bright as soon as he opened his eyes. His gaze resembled the rising sun, and even the surrounding space seemed to rejoice at his awakened state. A vast universe then seemed to unfold within his eyes. Of particular note was the third eye in between his eyebrows. They emitted a radiant divine light that surveyed the stars above and the lands of the Celestial Realm below. It seemed to peer into the river of time, navigating its golden waves and unveiling the secrets of heaven.
