"So I get to watch everyone die in slow motion. What a gift."

I gather facts more than a reporter, search more than a detective. I take out my phone and open the browser. The internet is full of information. I am sure I can find one about this mysterious Mr. Fiction; I tell myself as I type on the g****e search bar. I feel the hesitation linger with doubt starts clouding my mind. What if I am not ready to find out about him? What if it is not something I am prepared for?

He asked. " I... I..." " What?? " " I did, but then I thought that it was my imagination. " I said. " No!! You can ask Sid. Who would know more about me than him?? But what we share is just a beautiful bond called friendship. Real friendship... " He said. " But what was all that?? " I asked. " We must have been just kidding..." He said. " What? Who jokes around like that?? " I asked as I was shocked.

The bizarre twist in my mind had me back to reality; of course, Maury would show up. The crazy part in this fucked-up situation was not the fourteen tests on the bathroom counter, or the fact that I knew neither partners' name, it was that I had lied to everyone I knew about sleeping with either guy and had held vehemently to that notion of truth since the incident. I hadn't left the house since then other than to go to interviews, and Carmella and Kappy both knew I certainly hadn't had any hookups on those outings-or hell, at home either.

And that wasn’t on purpose. I had slept with Zion a couple of times and I didn’t get pregnant. I thought I wasn’t a very fertile lady so a night with a stranger without protection was probably nothing. But it’s cool. I can’t imagine living a life without Ryan in it. He is my greatest blessing of all.” “The stranger’s sperm was definitely stronger than Zion’s own.”

They will ruin you! She has stuck to this rule without questions and has successfully withdrawn herself from people. But someone is not willing to let her be. Instead, he is bent on unravelling the mystery around her. when I went for my group study the following week. I stood among the group members with my textbook spread opened on my palms.

“Especially when they’re built on truth.” A faint, condescending smile touched her lips. “Truth is such a malleable concept, don’t you find? Often confused with sentimentality and… well, fiction.” Her eyes locked with mine, a direct challenge. “I read your little blog post. A very moving story. A work of fiction, of course, but moving nonetheless.” I could feel Arthur tense beside me. The entire room was holding its breath. “It’s interesting you should mention fiction,” I said, not breaking eye contact. I gestured to the mosaic. “This phoenix, for example. It’s a powerful myth.

It's all a fantasy. Fable has been my escape. An unhealthy one. A safe pretend world where I could bury myself.
