Suspension Disbelief Novels & Stories

"Can you feel the lag, Elias? The three-millisecond delay between the thought and the action? That’s not the magic failing. That’s your brain’s architecture collapsing under the weight of the lie." Vaughn’s hand, which had been gathering a lethal charge of violet energy, suddenly faltered.

In that tiny window, the "Hush" field around him flickered and died. "Now!" Evangeline screamed.

She said, the look in her eyes quickly morphing from disbelief to rage. I jumped up from the bed in fright. I’d never felt as disappointed at myself as I did at that moment, for lacking the ability to make myself disappear. “Why are you here?” Susan seethed. “How did you even get here?” Her gaze darted over to Derrick behind me before returning to me. “You…you can’t…stop me from seeing him,” I said, my voice shaky with fear. She scoffed. “If you actually believe that, then you’re more foolish than I thought.”

I felt sorry for Suzan in that moment, because I could see how she was doubting everything. “I’ve always been very naïve, you know,” she muttered, subdued and despondent. “I just…have this idealistic approach to everything. I get obsessive about things and think about the extremes. And, you know…this whole time, Cristo felt too good to be true.” As I listened on, I knew I’d done the right thing by coming here. I was right about Suzan being smart and self-aware. She knew she would do what was best for herself and pull out of this situation on her own

My legs trembled as the weight of the note’s contents sank in. Bewilderment mixed with disbelief , leaving me stunned. I collapsed onto the bed, the note still clutched in my hand. “What?” I whispered, the word barely escaping my lips.

But enough. Enough that the weight of their attention crawled over my skin and twisted something ugly in my stomach. Mouths hung open. Eyes were wide and glassy. Some whispered to each other like they were afraid to speak too loudly, others shook their heads slowly, like they were trying to convince themselves what they’d just witnessed wasn’t real. “Holy… he made it,” someone muttered behind me, awe bleeding into disbelief. “Did you see that?” another voice said, cracking like the words didn’t trust themselves. “He actually...”

It howled like a thousand wolves screaming through the same throat. The moon outside turned a deep, blood-red hue. The ground shook so violently that the chandelier above us ripped from the ceiling. I lowered my body quickly to avoid being injured by the glass, but then the chandelier didn’t fall. It remained in one place in the air behind me. Frozen. Suspended. As if it were waiting for a command to drop down. Sebastian whispered, “Oh God… oh hell…” The suspended shards turned toward us like a thousand silver blades.

Hazel looked at her with confidence. "But I think that a star who doesn't care about her image at all even after she threatened, snarled, and acted with malicious intent, has absolutely no brain.

Humans are so confused by science fiction they won’t believe the truth even if it hits them in the face.” I frown, but he won’t budge. It is our first real argument and the passages grow silent as Silas and I end it all in a screaming row over what humans believe.
