Separating Yourself From The World Novels & Stories

My mind is spacing out and it feels like it is in another world of nowhere. I can hear some beats from the music I am listening but I can not figure out what is the song. I can feel that my eyes are slowly closing. I am trying ny best not to fall asleep but it looks like my eyes already decided that they are going to sleep and shut. I feel myself travelling in the world of peace. - Miss Fatima's POV "Hello? PO2 Lopez?" I said after I answer his call.

I keep imagining things everywhere and it hasn't been easy to keep this to myself, We were both getting discharged today and I'm glad I can finally leave the hospital I need some peace and quiet, without the world noise constantly getting to me Nor the stress I always have to put up with, I needed to get away from NY at any cost, Although I knew Chris wouldn't allow it but I have to find myself, I feel like with all the Chaos that had happened I need to find and regain myself, I didn't usually sleep with my eyes open but now that is like the normal way for me!

I prepared that night the way someone builds an invisible refuge, made not of walls, but of intention. Every gesture carried a silent purpose: to push the world away, to quiet the outside noise, to remind Alice that there—by my side—time obeyed a different rhythm. A slower one. A safer one. Ours.

I wrap my arms around myself and let out a slow breath. You can do this. You don’t have to decide anything today. You don’t have to think about anyone else today. Just unpack. Just settle in. Just breathe. I step back inside and close the balcony door. This is my fresh start. And for now, I’ll pretend that’s enough.

“Why so hurry? You, just came, right? Isn’t the carnival fun that you will never want to miss?” “Nope, we are good to go. It’s time to go to the next floor.” “Do you really want to go back to the world?” “Isn’t it obvious?” “Why?” “Do I need to answer it? “I’ll let you leave this floor if you can give me a satisfying answer of what I just questioned you.” “The world needs me.” “Really? How do you know?” “As I am the world protector.” “Does it need protecting?” “Nope.” “Then? Why do you think the world needs you?”

I nodded slowly. The work of separating myself from his world had started. It was quieter than the night he told me to leave, but it was just as final. And for the first time since I walked out of the penthouse, I felt like I had taken one step that belonged only to me.

Now, I suddenly realized that I wanted to live for myself, so I immediately bought a plane ticket to meet Lily in South Valley. I felt freedom I had not felt for a long time, and my whole body relaxed like never before. Only then did I realize that changes were quietly happening every day in the world that I could not see beyond myself. I could not stay inside my little bubble of comfort anymore.

CHAPTER 196 THE WORLD DOESN'T STOP ISLA When your heart feels like it’s being stretched in three different directions, the worst place to be is your own room. Everything echoes, every thought sounds louder and every memory replays sharper. Even silence feels accusatory. So I decided to leave. I grabbed my hoodie, shoved my feet into my sneakers, and told myself the library was neutral ground. If I couldn't do anything, the serenity of the library with books is enough to keep me grounded.

Not to anyone. Outside, somewhere far away, a highway hummed. The world kept moving. Unaware. Uncaring. War was coming. I closed my eyes. Not to sleep. To plan. To remember. To prepare. Slowly, carefully, I began to work to free myself again.

Her mind settled into her flesh as it wrestled down her rising anxiety. She did not have to answer the messages tonight. Somewhere in the back of her brain, she knew she never had to answer them at all. She could unplug herself from the online world. The online world always felt like a separate world, one she never had to tell anyone about. Yet those ideas seemed ludicrous, tightened the nerves in her chest in a different way. She could not fathom walking away, of only living in the disappointment of her real world.
