I sold myself to him. Yet, after the deed, he went back on his words. He refused to pay and snapped, "You're just a widow with a dead husband! This is what you're worth! You either take it or leave it!" I ended up in a brawl with him, but due to the disparity of strengths, he killed me with a punch to my head. The thick snow buried all the evidence of his crime. I even ended up on his plate. Tina died in the cold due to hunger before I could return to her.

[The Final Resolution] The world didn't end with a bang; it ended with the sound of a thousand children humming a lullaby in a minor key. The sea-cave was a theater of shadows, the "Original" Ivy standing at the mouth of the tunnel like a vengeful saint. Behind her, the indigo children were a wall of black-eyed dolls, their collective presence creating a static pressure that made my nose bleed.

I intended to make her wrestle with it for the rest of her life. I shielded Kendra behind me and called the local police. Lauren ended up at the station. She had only destroyed a few tables and chairs, and hardly any customers were frightened off.

We couldn’t make it to the botanical garden, so Kendra suggested we stroll through the Hightide University campus instead.

On the day of my mother's funeral, I sat outside the chapel, crying so hard I could barely stand. Three days earlier, my father had told me she'd died in a car accident. He said her body was so badly damaged that I shouldn't see it. I wouldn't be able to handle it. I believed him. I put on a black dress and sat beside her casket all night.

My mother was on the screen in an evening gown, smiling as my younger sister, Nina Whitmore, handed her a glass of champagne. My father sat beside her, his eyes red. "From now on, Nina doesn't have to live in Evelyn's shadow or suffer

It was a person in a room, holding a device, their thumb poised to scroll. On the glass of the storefront, a new sentence appeared, written in a font I had never seen before; a font that looked like my own handwriting; “The end is just a suggestion”. I didn't scream. I didn't run. I reached out and touched the glass, my finger meeting the reflection of the shadow’s finger. The glass shattered. And then, the screen you are holding went black.

I loved Cassidy more than anything. Although she had been involved with countless men, and she had even cheated on me with Henry, the fake heir, I still couldn't bring myself to let her go. I worked out, took medication, and did everything I could because I wanted to have a child with her. When the doctor finally told me today that I met the required fertility criteria, I grabbed the test results and rushed straight to her office. "Cassidy, I–" My voice came to an abrupt halt. Cassidy was passionately kissing her new male secretary with her arms wrapped around him. She glanced at me impatiently. "Get out!" I suddenly came to my senses. I could accept having a wife like her, but coul

In fact, it looked as if it had given up. The phoenix took no chance, immediately opened its enormous jaw, and swallowed the mist whole. Suzanne did a reverse of her hand gestures and bit into her finger once more, smearing the blood on the two yellow talismans again. The phoenix burst into a fiery white flame, its brilliance covering the whole room before its ashes rained onto the floor. And with that, the hurricane disappeared. All was left was an unconscious Suzanne in Tom’s arm as he hugged her tightly. No one noticed the small portion of the black mist that had pierced Suzanne seeping out the egress.

I stayed up in my room reading the black book don gave to me some time last week but i realized it was the translated version of what Claudia told me about. For the hundredth time that day I glanced through the list of allies whose names were inscribed in the book and i was totally lost cause no name seemed familiar and i was frustrated cause I didn't know who I could trust. Fuck everything felt like a dead end. I cursed and raked my hands in my hair. I shut the book and groaned in frustration. I was disrupted by the soft knock of someone.

He bents his head to my neck and presses one last kiss to the hollow of my throat, breathing me in while his hand is now in my ass, squeezing it. He backs off, heading to the door.
