Futile Struggles Novels & Stories

The very ground, the foundation of us, cracks under the assault. The stakes are no longer about a dirty plate. The Graft itself is straining, the magical and biological sutures stretching to their breaking point. I feel a terrifying thinness in the connection, a sense that one more blow, one more perfectly aimed memory, will snap it entirely. Failure isn’t just a lost argument. It’s a mutual lobotomy. A severing that would leave us two empty, mindless husks, forever haunted by the ghost of what we broke. We can’t win. We can only destroy.

We tried everything the old leader's plans allowed for, and every single attempt ended the same way — failure, humiliation, and now this. Hiding in ruins like vermin, waiting for the day she decides we're worth the effort of finishing off properly."

I'd done so well for so long to hold on to the hope that one day, everything would be different. I fought and struggled, kept my head down, and did the best I could each day. I showed up when no one wanted me. I carried loads that my weak body was not meant to hold. I endured abuse and neglect and hatred because I believed that... one day... someone was going to see me for myself and not as Fumbles.

A thousand years passed. As Karistus watched from above, the world changed, it grew darker, humans began to pollute the air with strange gases, trees were cut

She was crying over the failure of her plan. 'They could help me. They didn't. I was stupid to try it with a knife. If he hurts my family, I'll truly stab him this time.
