The World As I See It Novels & Stories

But something inside me felt that I needed to come here. So here I am, with a new life, a new purpose yet with the same past nightmares. I took a deep breath as I looked at myself in the mirror. The circles were invisible but my eyes were ull. They looked soulless and at this moment I was too tired to do anything about it. So I just let it be. I went downstairs to get my car keys.. I was just about to turn with my keys when my eyes went to the backyard window. The weather was sunny today, too sunny for my liking. But the view of the woods was so beautiful. My mind drifted off last night when I came eye to eye with my wolfie.

--- Camille I saw them. From the window. I said nothing. I screamed nothing. I stayed there. Watching them. The world is collapsing around me. And I no longer know how to breathe. ---

Bella I feel like a lost child seeking help, but there's no one out there who could possibly save me. The world looks scarier than it was before, and I see nothing except its dark side. These aren’t just thoughts; they’re my reality. I'm afraid, not only because of Alex's absence but because my baby, who did nothing wrong, might end up living without a father. As I was walking across the silent road, I suddenly lost my balance. I tried to keep myself standing, but I didn’t have the energy. Just when I felt like I was going to completely fall, I suddenly felt the warmth of someone's arms catching me, and then everything went blurry.

Anira. The First Light. The First Shadow. The Devourer. Lena. Rylan. People throughout the Interworld. Millions of faces. The mirror became enormous. The Witness spoke. "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?" Liana smiled. "I shared the choice." --- Across the Interworld, people looked toward the sky. The mirror appeared above the city. Everyone could see themselves reflected inside it. A farmer. A soldier. A child. A scientist. A traveler. A ruler. A stranger.

I whispered. My thumbs pushed the tears off his cheeks. I stared into his eyes. He looked like he was in pain and whatever it was, was making it worse. His eyes searched mine as he took my palms and kissed them. "Please remember you are my world." He began. I nodded slowly. "I have been called back to the war. I have to leave for California by the first snowfall." He explained. I stopped breathing. My hands dropped from the side of his face. Everything felt like it was closing in. Black spots appeared at the side of my vision.

I rested my face between my hands and laughed incredulously at how stupid I was at that not-so-distant time. In spite of everything, I felt happy to have learned a lot and grown from it all. The submissive and foolish Helena no longer existed and I couldn't be prouder. As Queen Beyoncé would say: Who run the world? Girls! Which meant that no man deserves to waste our time and our mental health. I opened the book, hoping that I could concentrate on the subject, since my mind kept focusing on only one thing: John and Cassie's breakup.

By the time I was done with the damn lesson, I was done! I flopped down on the chair behind the desk as I waited for the next class to arrive. This was not what I had planned for my life. Wasn’t this worse than being in the damn convent? No, nothing was worse than becoming a breeding machine. It was as if someone had taken away my rose-coloured glasses and I was finally looking at our world with my eyes wide open. I could see each fault. I can see each flaw in our society. Things I never even thought of looking at before. What used to be a colourful world was now worse than a blank and white silent movie!

He looked around him but he can only see vast darkness in his surrounding, “Who are you? Where am I?” The man shakes his head, “It is not important who I am, what important is the piece of advice that I’ll be giving to you.” Shawn became confused about what is happening, “Advice? What are you talking about? I don’t understand what you’re saying.” He approached Shawn and whisper to his ear, “This is how simple my advice for you, just make sure you don’t die, or else, I will be the one who will kill you whether you’re in hell or heaven.”

I'm even wearing a gown right now and somehow I know that it's normal as the women around me also wear like that except that it's more modest and simple than what I'm wearing. "Transferring the world's information..." I heard a computer-like voice again. I hold my breath secretly as a lot of data came into my head and there's one sentence I can think of right now as they sink into me. "Holy shit of a God." •°`Monarch of the Underworld`°• "Maybe I'm so used to look at the darkness that the moment I lay my eyes on you, I was so fascinated with the colors you've brought" •••

one in the crowd said, “so it is true that you actually went blind?! Ain’t that terrible?” “I see it as a blessing actually. God spared me of all the gruesome sights of sewage and dump that constantly rubbed against my nose. See it as a way that my eyes were cleared. I see things differently now. The colours shine vividly in my eyes, light blasts in full strength against my eyes, nothing has ever been as clear as it is now. I see lots, and lots, and lots of things in ghastly scrutinized detail. I didn’t know the world was this beautiful. Look at what I have, I have everything.
