When These Walls Come Tumbling Down Novels & Stories

The reason I didn’t put a bullet in my skull the first time the world told me I didn’t matter. I whispered her name—barely sound, more air than voice. And everything inside me cracked. Not explosively. Not violently. Just… quietly. The sound of a man coming apart without flame or fury — just the slow collapse of something once unbreakable. Footsteps retreated. They weren’t brave enough to enter. Or maybe they knew the destruction waiting behind this door couldn’t be stopped. Good. Let them stay away. Let the estate bleed around me. Let the entire empire fall.

The fractures within their ranks were widening — and soon, only truth or ruin would remain. Who will stand when the walls fall? Who will break — and who will betray? The shadows deepen. The hunt continues.

“Lavender did her best to keep me going, but when she was quiet, my mind was loud. Every night and even sometimes during the day. If I don’t keep myself busy, my mind tries to convince me that the world is better off without me. The walls got taller each day. It makes it harder to see the light." Zara's lip trembles and her tears start anew. I take her hands in mine and kiss them. "It's okay, Pocket. You can tell me." "Then you told me you loved me. The walls seemed to get shorter. I felt like maybe I had a little hope. If I just hold out longer, the walls would keep getting shorter. And then I heard those women laughing in your room. That’s when I knew I was wrong. The walls were finally fa

He finally wanted something that glowed on its own terms. "Consider it... an upgrade," he grunted, the heat already starting to singe his brows. He tripped the final circuit. The basement collapsed into a supernova of sound and light, an architectural swan song that stripped the Ivory Tower of its final shred of sentience. Outside, a hundred yards away, Anji and Sarah ducked behind a line of rusted barricades, bracing themselves as the earth jumped, the Ivory Tower screaming for the last time before its entire center section sank into the ruined earth of the district, plunging the entire city grid into a sudden, perfect, dead-silent black.

But with each pound of his fist against the wall of the tunnel, I could feel the vibration of the wall as it loosened behind my hand, and with that I began to feel less and less of a drawing of my powers from it. But what my father was doing wasn’t enough, and Joffrey moved to my other side, as he too made a fist, and began to hit the wall on the other side of my hand, making even more of an impact. The material that the walls were made of at that moment began to break free, and stones and debris began to fall to the ground at my feet, making me look to the ground at the rubble, as my hand slowly began to move against the cool surface of the wall.

Only fuel locked in the engine that kept me formed. The room shuddered. A tile trembled and broke. The crack ran in a clean line from the door to the far wall. Memory dust drifted up like powder. It smelled like old chalk and old sweat. The storage room did not feel like a room anymore. It felt like a picture peeling off a wet wall. “Not now,” I said. The words stuck in my throat like glass. “Not now, please.” The crumbling spread faster. Chunks of ceiling fell through the air and disappeared before they hit the ground. The walls started folding in on themselves. The void beneath the floor crept closer, eating away at the concrete in slow, inexorable waves.

You can hear windows break and walls crack as they rip it to the core. "Move faster. Move faster!" We are nearing the last floor now, and I can see as the men are now starting to filter out the building towards the street. They are moving much faster now than they did before. Then another shock. I feel as the building rocks yet another time, but I hear something else…it is starting to crumble. "It is coming down. Move out. It is coming down. Move faster."

“WHAT IS THIS?…”. (General Hobris Von Likusy) In a mere single attack by the Alliance Army, the ever so glorious wall of Hallerusia Capital City, were already crumbling, pieces by pieces it started to fall, revealing it’s inner side, stones falls to the ground, and so is the many Hallerus Soldiers and guards. “AARRGGHHHH!!!..my hands!!…Help me!!....”. (Hallerus Soldier)

The stone wall groaned and shifted, revealing a dark, spiraling staircase leading down into the bowels of the city”a place that didn't appear on any of the cathedral’s maps. "You have a choice, little doctor," the vampire rasped, its face partially melted by the sonic blast, revealing the pulsing, black musculature beneath the skin. "You can stay here and be pulverized by your father’s mercy, or you can come with us and see exactly why Vesper signed your death warrant." The sonic emitter whine grew louder, the room beginning to collapse. The ceiling rafters groaned, the weight of a hundred years of history threatening to bury them all.

The walls crumbled, and everything went black. "NO!"
