Staring Into The Void Novels & Stories

Something that shouldn't be there. A void.

Kael lying on the ground. Elara screaming. Her mother bleeding. Her father falling. The First Mother disappearing. The wolves being swallowed by darkness. Emily stared in horror. "No." The Void smiled. Choose. Emily's hands trembled. "You're doing this again." Doing what? "Trying to make me choose." The Void tilted its head. You cannot save everyone. Emily slowly raised her sword. "That's what everyone keeps telling me." The Void laughed. Because it is true. Emily looked at the images. Then she noticed something.

I approached Elocin to tell her that. “Elocin,” I called her, “There are like suspicious men outside. They are all wearing black and their eyes aren’t focused on anything. They eyes are roaming around like they’re looking for something.” I said, a bit nervous for her, as I will be leaving her.

I have never had anything like this before soon my plate was empty because I was so impatient to consume it all. After my amazing dinner. I decided to go and get some fresh air. "Dad I'll be outside for a while" I informed my dad and left with a juice in my hand. It was dark but the brightness of the moon shined making the garden even more captivating. I sighed and walked around enjoying the fresh air and the moon but suddenly something hit me. 'The note' I remembered... I remembered how someone had written soulmates aren't found but made... those words came flashing in my eyes making me feel the depths of them. I was still thinking how could a person explain it so clearly.. when I saw her..

I opened the taxi door, got in, and gave the driver my new address. When the car started, I glanced in the rearview mirror. Adrian was still standing there, holding his copy of the papers and looking in my direction. His figure grew smaller and smaller in the mirror until it became a point and disappeared into traffic. I looked away, leaned back, and let out a long breath. It was over. It was really over. The taxi stopped at the gate of the apartment complex. As I dragged my suitcase into the building, I happened to run into the neighbor next door.

Starved Passion::: Ivana knew she desperately needed a job to keep body and soul together, the clock beside her bed shows 2:45am in the morning and she was carefully looking for a vacancy application with a cup of tea in her hand, five different newspapers lay on her bed. Her present condition could be termed pathetic! Or Maybe desperate completely.

She prayed to every god out there that he would just drop over. “I’m afraid so, yes.” The doctor hung his head but Maia just leaned hers back and gave a small smile. “I win, bastard.” She whispered into the universe. “You were in pretty rough condition... Do you want to explain what happened to you?” They offered to listen, already knowing the truth. Maia just shook her head no.

Over those two years, Eve and I had slowly collected gasoline, soaking the altar floor with it. I struck the match, and a small flame flickered to life in the darkness. It was a faint one, but it was enough. I tossed the lit match onto the ground. Quickly, sparks flew, and the flames engulfed everything, trapping them in a raging fire. They frantically ran, their screams, cries, and pleas blending together in despair. Gradually, all their voices were swallowed by the fire. The flames burned throughout the night. By dawn, there was almost no trace left of the villagers.

Lyra'POV The Void devoured worlds like a starving beast. I watched, helpless, as reality after reality crumbled into nothingness. Infinite lives, infinite possibilities, all consumed by the endless hunger of oblivion. And through it all, a terrible certainty: this wasn't just a nightmare. It was a vision.

I nodded in agreement. “See you soon” I replied. I stood before the crack for several long breaths. It floated in the air like a wound carved into reality itself. Black mist slowly drifted out from its edges. Every instinct in my body screamed at me not to step forward. Yet… My feet moved anyway stepping into the void. I could still feel his hard stare behind me but I didn’t look back moving forward. Inside the void every where was dark and eerie like an abandoned space or a forbidden area. There was no sign of life or any living thing in sight. Everywhere was just plain and black in an overwhelming darkness that made vision very difficult.
