The vision, the goals, and the cutting-edge software they were developing spilled from her lips, painting a picture of boundless potential.

Each stroke propels them further away from the grand hall, deeper into the unknown. Guided by the Merguardians, Joe and Bryan navigate through the intricate passageways, descending through a series of openings in the palace floor.

The water around them grows colder and denser, as if the weight of their actions manifests in the very essence of their underwater surroundings.

I stroll behind Ajay to whatever he is taking me for the briefing of my next assignment. Deep's reflection has erupted a volcano in my heart and blown my mind. I just can't seem to shake off his portrayal out of my mind, and my heart seems so unsettled about him. Yearning would be a fairer phrase. I am yearning for him. Even just to see him from afar. If only I can be able to talk to him or understand why he makes me feel this way...

They both rode on a childish carousel, laughter blending with the music. My eyelids twitched, a sense of unease filling my heart.

As I stepped out of the car, my assistant Blessing and Jude followed closely behind me.

Axel didn't blink. "She's not dying. Another ambulance is coming. My wife's pregnant. She's not going alone. Your big-shot captain can wait." The ambulances tore off.

"The deepest nothing. The truest void. That's where beings go when they choose to stop existing completely. Most people who go there never come back. Never return. Never exist again. You could lose yourself. Permanently. Finally. Really." "Then I lose myself." I kiss him. "But I try. I gamble. I choose the third path. Again. Always. Forever. Because that's who I am.
