My Mind Went Blank Novels & Stories

It was an expression I had seen countless times on my family…anger born out of helplessness. “What just happened?” He asked in a hoarse voice. “My vision went blank for a couple minutes.” I shrugged, trying to make the situation casual, but I wasn’t able to lighten the mood. “Why didn’t you tell me your vision goes blank?” Lyric asked; an edge to his voice. “It’s nothing to worry about,” I waved him off. “It’s just the position of the bullet. It sometimes rubs off on a few nerves and it causes the blank visions.”

“How much did you lose this time?” I blinked, and blinked again. The question was like a knife. “Lose?” “Memory.” She said I pushed up to sitting, palms pressed hard to my temples. Something was missing, like something from just before the shield broke. My mind darts across blank glass where there should have been detail. My own gasp, my own voice was gone. “Only a few seconds,” I whispered, though I wasn’t sure. Mother turned sharply, shoulders rigid. “Seconds become minutes, then minutes become hours.

My lips parted, but no sound came out. My mind went blank. My body went numb. What… What have I gotten myself into?

I grab my journal to write it down, to connect the threads before they fade— But then my mind blanks. The pen hovers over the page. I can’t remember what I wanted to write. Not a single word. Fuck.

He clarified, and shock made my ears tune out sounds as my brain went blank. That wasn't possible. Right?

Except my body didn’t respond the way it should have. No warmth. No ease. Just a hollow awareness, like my nervous system had skipped a step. I glanced at her. She met my eyes instantly. No delay. No searching. As if she’d been waiting. The moment stretched thin, fragile. Then she smiled. And my mind went blank. Not dramatically. Not like I blacked out. Just… quiet. The thought I’d been having disappeared mid-sentence. I looked away quickly, heart pounding. What was I thinking about?

My mind felt shrouded in a fog. I couldn't think, and my body refused to respond. The exhaustion overcame me, and I succumbed to my weariness as everything went blank.

All I could hear was the sound of my own heart beating like an erratic drum. And then…just like that…everything went blank.

I never actually felt like my life would amount to this much problems because I had everything I wanted but now I feel like I have nothing. I drove into my mansion absent mindedly, I killed the engines, switching of the brake lights and every other parts of my car. It felt like the weight of the world was on me, What do I say to Arianna to get her on my side again? My brain felt bleak and empty, unable to produce any useless ideas, like a blank sheet of paper. I had absolutely no idea of what to do, where to go and what to say to have my mother back on her feet.

I looked over to see Lissa, purposefully turning her gaze away to hide her face. "Liss," I questioned, trying to get her to look back but she continued her sheepish behavior. I summoned up my best attempt at jumping into her mind. I was still rusty. Sometimes it happened without me even trying, and other times I couldn't access it at all. Especially when she was fighting me on it. This time, when I finally managed to get in, her thoughts were far-off and unclear, but I could hear her voice faintly repeating in the background: Empty thoughts, empty thoughts. Don't let her hear. My mind is blank. No thoughts.
