Blake floored the gas pedal. The mourning hall was blanketed in white, funeral music echoing softly. My photo was placed in the center. In the picture, there was the faintest hint of a smile at the corner of my lips. When Blake rushed in, Sarah's eyes were red as she lit a candle before my photo with trembling hands. "Mom!" he called hoarsely. What answered him was Sarah's hard slap. "You animal! How dare you show your face here?" The hatred in Sarah's eyes almost swallowed him whole.

Then it started clapping slowly as he stepped closer. Clap. Clap. Clap. Each one louder than the last. Clap. Clap. Clap. My breath hitched when I realized it was walking toward the bowed players — the ones still kneeling on the cold floor, trembling, faces pressed against the metal. Some of them were still whispering prayers. Others just rocked back and forth like maybe if they shook enough, they’d wake up somewhere else. The Game Master stopped right in front of them. “Hmm,” it hummed softly, tapping its chin like it was thinking. Then, in a voice smooth as silk, it said, “You poor, desperate things.”

I'm more handsome than this guy but because he smiles alot than me, he captures the ladies heart. "Good morning, sir" Clinton greeted, walking in immediately we settled in. "How have you been Clinton??" Leonard stood up and fist bumped with him "I've been surviving" he answered and looked at me with a side eye Leonard laughed as he sat down back "I can see that" he laughed "I'd call you if I need anything" I said, dismissing him "Mehn, I had so much fun lastnight" Leonard said "Same here. It's been long I slept soundly like a baby" I chirped in

I did not hear a word of it. Then, the cursing stopped, and silence took its place. After that came the muttering. It was fragments of things I could not make out, spoken to no one. Until one day, I went down to check on him and found him staring blankly at the window. Two thin tracks of tears went down his face. "I remember now." His voice was so hoarse it was barely audible. I stopped mid-step. "The previous life... I remember all of it..." He turned his head slowly to look at me, and there was something in his eyes I had never seen before. It was not hatred. It was not anger. It was a deep, wordless remorse. "Elara... I'm sorry..."

Lower management handled the menial business. Rai Landon was not part of his corporate team, or she would have a suite on deck fifteen, not five. She was merely a passenger wanting to experience Alaska. Just how much a blind person could enjoy the sights alone was yet to be determined. Damn her friend for bailing on her. Z grinned at the thought of being her guide. Ideas rambled through his mind in creative waves; an unstoppable force that promised a wake of destruction.

Thanks for all the prayers. Hey

Jessica held the card in her hand. A thousand emotions surged through her. After a long pause, she placed it into her safe. She had no intention of using that money. The weather was noticeably better today compared to the past few days. The air, cleansed by the rain, carried a crisp freshness. After buying breakfast, Jessica headed straight to the office. Meanwhile, Jack, who had been recovering well after three days of rest, inexplicably developed a fever again on the fourth morning.

Only by living a life of happiness could she truly honor their spirits. The two Westhaven spies weren't dead yet, but the blood loss had left them drifting in and out of consciousness. They muttered something, but it was in Westic. Carissa and the others couldn't understand, but Rafael knew exactly what they were saying. It was broken, halting apologies. They hadn't been blind to their wrongs, just unwilling to admit them. Now, as death loomed, perhaps every scene from their past was replaying in their minds. And these words of apology were the ones they should've spoken here, in front of the graves.

"Adeline, you came back to see me, didn't you? I miss you so much. In the next life, please come back as my daughter again. I promise I'll make it up to you. I'll love you the way I should have this time." I looked down at their tearful, guilt-ridden faces and felt nothing. My body had begun to fade, growing increasingly transparent. I lifted my head, unwilling to look back one more time. This life had already been far too painful. I wouldn't go through it again. I murmured, "Goodbye, Mom. Goodbye, Dad. Let's never cross paths again."
