I was ALWAYS misplacing my phone. As they both get out of their vehicles, Will walks over towards the truck. “Hey Jarod, this is Will. He lives up on my floor. He’s offered to help me finish moving too.” Will extends his hand out to shake Jared’s. Once again, I notice that it’s not his robotic hand.

🌿 Stepping into Part 29—the chapter where Yam and Franc turn dreams into doors. Their studio isn't just paint and poetry now; it's possibility. And that quiet hope they sketched during rainy afternoons? It’s ready to welcome the world. Yam and Franc had always been dreamers, their minds filled with visions of a world where art and emotion intertwined seamlessly. When they stumbled upon the idea of creating a sanctuary for those seeking solace and inspiration, they knew they had found their calling. They called it Tahanan Para sa Titig, a home for gazes, a place where the soul could rest and the heart could speak.

It had been a depressingly hot season, and with his disallowance of her partaking in outdoor activities for fear of her pale skin tarnishing to something darker, Parisa had spent the majority of her days sequestered in different rooms: reading books, learning etiquette, practising her French, playing the piano, actively avoiding his wife and children or dreadfully counting the days to her birthday. Parisa reached forward, her slender hand easily slipping between the grills, and closed around the window’s latch before she twisted and pushed. Sounds of the free world were sharper now. She listed forward, savouring every call from matings to warnings of bugs and birds. A breath of cool, crisp a

All I can do is to assure them that after I’m gone I will always watch them from heaven And I'll always be there for them in the afterlife. I woke up in the morning and everything is white. I walked around until I saw a way ahead of me. I ran that way and finally I stepped foot in a beautiful garden. The place is full of flowers and small trees. So many birds and butterflies are flying around the area. I saw a fountain and I walked until I reached it. The water was so clear suddenly an image appeared on it. I saw my family and my beloved woman crying in front of a grave.

You'll get to live a few more days. They had gone mad. Their bodies were still alive, but their minds had been left behind forever in the basement they'd built with their own hands. The lie had become the only thing real to them now. I watched them from where I stood and felt the last thing holding me to this place let go. I passed through the iron door that no longer mattered and walked through the sunlit corridor. The sky outside was blue. The grass was green. But I didn't want to stay. I turned into the wind and rose up, higher and further than I had ever been, to somewhere that was finally free. And they stayed.

I watched Gabe quickly follow along with Marie and Jack. “Coming Riley?” Andrew looked at me next to the arch. I hesitated, but I walked towards him slowly. It seemed strange to me going through an arch where you couldn’t see where you were going or how it felt. I stood next to him and closed my eyes, waiting for something to happen. Then, I soon felt bright warmth overwhelm my body. The golden light that surrounded Landon was over me. It was so soothing, but yet so bright to my closing eyes. I felt a spinning sensation and it made me completely dizzy. I now wanted it to stop. Then, before I got too dizzy it stopped, and I could hear wildlife and a distant waterfall suddenly around me. I ope

Making sure my body was flawless. "Ok. Let's get started shall we? Skylar this is Clarissa, your new partner. Clarissa, this is Skylar. Congratulations, you have now been promoted to romantic couples sessions and will be partners from now on." Our eyes locked, there was a bit of tension between us at this point. He was so damn hot. He smiled mischievously noticing my rosy cheeks. "Hi." His husky voice made me want to melt. Wait, did I hear Kelsie right?

I was lost in the trance of looking at her, her near round face, perfect eyebrows, perfect. Aminah shrieked and she practically flew out of her chair. This babe ehn. She gets wahala, no doubt. They resumed looking at the pictures, Aminah's voice in awe as if the girls in the pictures weren't humans like the rest of us. She'd be surprised to see that their lives ain't all rainbows and sunshine like the pictures on I*******m portray.

at the hands of the slaves of Satan. I saw myself sitting on a swing... gently swaying with the music of the wind. The leaves were rustling, and the branches were as high as the roof. I will definitely stay here. It's very peaceful and nothing will go wrong because this place ensures that you'll live your life to the fullest and no one can make you suffer from it. This is the most beautiful scenery I've seen. A paradise for people who love nature. I looked up at the sky and the sun met my eyes. I quickly closed it, and when I opened it, I was back in the basement.

Millie refused to look at her phone, Pearl would just have to wait. Her phone buzzed twice more in the next hour as she cleaned the upper floor. Gabriel's room was a surprise after Nick's. It was like walking into a California beach house, beautiful turquoise sea colours and pale sea-washed wood. The bed was just as huge as Nick's, but the headboard was large interlocking driftwood spars joined together in a massive arch against the wall. There was the faint smell of the fragrance that he wore which reminded of Millie of sunshine and surf. She looked around and decided that apart from quick dust, the room was pristine. The bed was neatly made, and she deduced that he was the tidy one of the
