Limbo Novels & Stories

☆☆☆ Inside It was foggy within but they could still see what lies buried within the cemetery, they walked stealthily like ghosts trying effectively not to attract unwanted attentions. The Zompires are dead creatures considered to be undead, their existence is a curse and an abomination of the hidden world itself. They are ludicrous and predictable unlike other creatures on the planet, they're visibly blind but attracted to noises and lights. They could transform others at will with just a bite but that differs between species. It hasn't been really tested on a dhampir but Rapidfire was not ready to try that out yet.

A wall was up and I was looking in from a small window on the outside. I haven't even realised it yet, but I have been crying. Wet streams are just flowing without question down my cheeks. I can tell, because it has a ticklish effect on my skin. The doctor noticed me, "Mam this is a private room, I would need you to leave or I will have to call security." As the words make their way into my brain like cutting shears, Noah returns from the alternate universe he was trapped in just moments ago. Our eyes met as the door shut behind me.

I've walked past it a thousand times without ever paying attention, and I vaguely thought it must be a broom closet or a storage place. I'm surprised to see him use a series of codes on a digital dial to get the door to unlock. We enter a hallway with a succession of doors. Each time, Elio enters new codes or uses a different key. We end up going under the floor to find ourselves in front of the last door. As he opens the door, my whole being freezes in front of what I see. The room is entirely white from floor to ceiling, from the furniture to the linens. There are no windows, and the light is purely artificial.

She had never felt such horror as she did right now. "I didn't expect to arrive at this place. Welcome to limbo. I hope you enjoy the journey." Katarina gave Julie directions to move forward. They passed through the pine trees for some time. Edith smelled fresh blood to her right. She briefly glanced at Kai and he nodded slowly. "I smell blood. Is that them?" "Yes, it's them. But I must warn you. Creatures that go into limbo don't come out easily. Something is keeping them here. Those werewolves were dying the moment they entered the portal. The creature using the portal must be conscious in order to cross the portal."

The shadow, its voice a cacophony of countless whispers, echoed, "I am not just an anomaly. I am the Voidwalker, the keeper of paths untaken, of dreams unfulfilled. Why do you disturb my slumber?" Isolde, her grip tightening on her weapon, responded defiantly, "We seek balance for the realms. Your existence, this imbalance, threatens countless realities." The Voidwalker, its form shifting and undulating, retorted, "Balance? You speak of balance while disregarding the weight of unrealized possibilities. Every choice, every path not taken, adds to my essence." Elysia, summoning all her courage, declared, "Then let's find a way to give those possibilities a place, to provide them with the closu

Chapter 17 Hannah's POV The bass was thumping through the floorboards of Sarah’s Salcedo condo long before I even stepped off the elevator. When the doors opened, the hallway smelled like a mix of expensive perfume and cheap pizza—the universal scent of a Friday night well spent. ​Inside, the transformation was complete. The "12th Floor Survivors" had officially shed their corporate skins. Ties were tied around foreheads, heels were kicked into a corner, and the air was thick with the kind of laughter that only happens when the boss isn't around.

He was like a baby giraffe born in the wild and he tried once again to ascertain the safety of his environment. That he had eyes to see with for the first time seemed like a cruel joke from the fates, because there was nothing to see for miles. Nothing but whiteness going on for eternity. There was no horizon, no element of direction or distance. There was no way to discern height or depth either. On second thought, the place might be less like heaven and more like what some humans called limbo. “Hello…lo… lo… lo… lo!” Ecto shouted, his voice reverberating all over the place. “Anybody out here… ere… ere… ere?”

I took it, and he pulled me closer, throwing his arm around my shoulder. "This is unfair," the guy next to him commented, and my cheeks reached their limit, ready to burst. "What is?" Kai asked, and the guy pointed at me. "Why does Slim always get the hot ones?" he asked, and I widened my eyes. Whatever "hot" meant, I was far from it. "I don't know. That really is unfair," Kai replied, looking down at me, and I focused on fiddling with my fingers. "So tonight, we're going underground for the first time since Slim got back," Lilly announced, excitedly.

" I remembered that part and I thought I was having one of those dreams where it felt like you were falling. "Nightly Valleys?" Lilith questioned, looking at Lucian who glanced at the map. "That's between the condemned souls and the river of blood." "Right," Lucian confirmed. "To get there, you're going through the land of the undead. My favorite place in the world," he had a big grin on his face. "Seeing vengeful spirits roaming rotten and hopeless. Ah, the smell of unfulfilled dreams and sheer agony. How humans fall farther and farther away from their center. Magnificent."

“But it only works for wolves who need healing. If you misuse it… you’ll end up sending them to other places.” That last part made my chest tighten. I blinked. “Other places?” She nodded, her voice turning grave. “Like limbo. Where the wolves who never make it to the moon get stuck.” My mouth went dry. “Oh…” Could I really… do that? Accidentally send someone to limbo? That’s what she meant before—the warning to stay grounded, stay light, stay good. That was the dark side of this gift. And now that I knew… I’d never risk it. I’d never help a wolf cross into a place where regret and unrest clung like fog. But if I could send someo
