Screaming Into The Void Novels & Stories

Into the connection. Into the system itself. And the void for the first time... Doesn’t feel like the end.

My scream tore from my throat so violently it felt like it ripped the inside of me open. “KAEL!” Nothing answered. Not even an echo. The void swallowed the sound whole, greedy and silent. “No,” I breathed, stumbling forward, grasping at the air where he’d been. “No, no, no—bring him back—”

Her desperate cries echoed through the room before she let out another screech. Completely lost in her own grief, the sounds of her screams shrouding any other noise, she didn’t notice the windows and mirror slowly starting to crack around her before shattering in an explosion of glass shards, nor did she feel them impaling her.

The burning she felt as if those eyes were staring straight into her soul, wishing her destruction.

She got the true nightmares, all through the night, screaming and begging to escape.

Frustration welled up inside me, and I let out a scream, a raw, primal sound that echoed through the apartment . “Show yourself!” I shouted into the silence, my voice echoing off the walls. “You think you can scare me? You think you can hurt the people I love and get away with it? I swear, when I find you, I’ll—” I froze mid-sentence, realizing how ridiculous I sounded. I was shouting into an empty apartment, threatening a ghost. But the fear, the anger, the sense of helplessness—it all had to go somewhere, and this was all I had left.

she screamed, her voice echoing off the walls. "This is why we keep fighting because it feels like we're shouting into a void. Our words fall on deaf ears and our attempts at communication are met with silence. It's as if we're speaking different languages, unable to bridge the gap between us. I long for the version of you that I used to know and cherish. Who on earth has manipulated your mind so severely?" Her voice came out as a high-pitched squeak.
