Mind-bending Novels & Stories

The mixture of cold, excruciating pain and fear was finally enough for the darkness to swallow me like a midnight snack. •●• February 27th, 2000 A strange rhythmic beeping sound makes its way into my ears. Making the darkness I have been drowning in slip away. I can comprehend a thought again. How I missed talking to myself in my mind so much. Wait a second, weren't I supposed to be playing harp with the angles by now or playing barbecue with the fire of hell? Or wait, am I in an in-between world? "Doctor, quickly. She is regaining brain activity!", I hear a really pitchy voice call out with a tone that sounds near to a mixture of surprise and excitement.

She was puzzled - why had Scott suddenly brought up parallel universes? Most people believed memory confusion existed due to interference from parallel worlds, but that explanation seemed like science fiction. From a psychological perspective, memory confusion typically stemmed from self-doubt. But there were exceptions, like major trauma or hypnosis. Sarah thought for a long time.

Scott's voice came through again, "Parallel worlds in reality are hard to imagine, but think of them as parallel worlds in the mind. Each branch of time is a parallel world, and when stimulated, these branches can become tangled -

Nico's POV: 53 Everything was chaotic within my own body. A sensation that no vampire, no matter how old they were, could get used too. 26 Something about the Blood Moon did this to us, enhanced our senses enough that it almost made us go insane. 2 Our bodies would run on our long forgotten instincts, making even the almost silent humming of a lightbulb sound like a blaring siren. 19 Not to mention the immense pain that ran through our entire bodies for no reason other than to make us give in and let it take over.

“How many days have I been in the tank?” The doctor was thinking, counting in his mind. “Three.” Praxis was caught up in deep thought. He felt lightheaded again because of the new medicine.

And there was a white light flashed before his eyes and everything turned into black.

Ruby turned her head and shot me a provocative look, her eyes brimming with smug satisfaction. I stood at the edge of the crowd, a faint, cold smile tugging at my lips. Just as I thought. A moment ago, I had cursed her in my mind, calling her an idiot, and she hadn’t reacted at all. However, the second I started thinking through specific skill data, she responded immediately. So her mind-reading skill wasn’t all-knowing. It seemed she could only pick up on the most focused, technical thoughts in my mind.

I tried so hard to get a glimpse of the person whose voice was calling me repeatedly. I tried to look at the person with heavy eyelids. It felt as if like my eyelids were stuck to one another. When I finally caught the sight of the figure who was calling me, my eyes suddenly fixated on them. My mind still could not progress everything smoothly.

Maybe I should hire someone to hit my head so damn hard and make me realize that the kind of relationship we had before was completely gone.

This is not a headache, it's simply an overloading of the operating system in every man's head. However, after a while, Tom calmed down after rubbing his head furiously for some minutes. He had never experienced a stress of this level in his young life, the closest to this is when chemistry starts talking jargon and moving in an unprecedented manner. Okay, no its physics, metaphysics in particular; all those wormholes and black holes and time holes and all the holes that can be attached to another word are pretty stressful and whenever you try to make some se
