Have Been There Before Novels & Stories

Something we had never seen before. Something that was not waiting for our decision… But preparing to overwrite it.

A thing done to a child who was already there. But before meant it was done somewhere else first. Before the transfer. Before Ironveil. Before I was old enough to have a history that needed containing. Someone had found me before I arrived. I set the document down flat. I went back to my desk, and I worked for three hours.

Because the way they said it— The way they looked at me— It wasn’t like they were meeting me for the first time. It was like— I had already been here before.

If life after death were to be real, there's no need to fret over our loss because. "Someday, you will see them again," "It's hard to continue believing that everything is but a coincidence when we found ourselves right in the middle of something that feels exactly like purpose, is it not?"

This arcane war of theirs; never thought it could also be won by both. "By the way," Unknown spoke as the place was about to cease to exist.

He let out a heavy sigh. "I know. I'm so happy to have someone like you looking out for me. But I just want to know he's fine that's all," I gently patted his back. "He's never gone to the station before and he must be scared and all alone. We both know his mother isn't one to sympathize with anyone, no matter who you are to her," I lamented.

I said before leaving the place. ***

She looked up at his face, and then he asked, “You okay?” “Yeah.” She said, “is it weird to say I have been here before, but I know I haven’t?” “What?” he asked as she looked at her. “It is one of those feelings. I have been here before, but I know I have not been.” Kristen said. “Like I can see other things along the wall, but they aren’t here now.”

I had to move now. Before it was too late.

They hadn’t been outside earlier—who would have guessed they had already arrived ahead of time? Which meant… They had been here all along.
