It was the morning in the city of Durum when Farhad Maisal stepped off his carriage and entered a one-bedroom apartment that his father paid for. This might not be the first time he was away from home, but he sure was living alone for the first time. Early on, he lived in a dormitory with students like him. It was the reason when vacations eventually came, he chose to rent a room close to the college instead of going back home. It was a dark world in which Farhad woke up. The unfamiliar bed, the…-

This is also the time when I saw what happened after Meena survived. As the time moved on, I noticed a figure slumped over the table, a figure with female clothes with rotten books all around it. It would seem that after everyone died, Meena never went out to ask for help. She just stayed there after cleaning things up and started to read the books that she can't understand. No, it would be better to say that she memorized them without knowing what they were, all she knew was that they were…

"Yo...you were the monster?..." A shivering voice filled with contradicting emotions of wrath and fear who aimed a knife at me asked. A woman I was very familiar with and with whom I have fallen in love multiple times. But unlike before, I was different. "Yes, I was." I accepted the crime, with my head high and a wide grin on my burned face The dead flesh of the children adorned the cave walls, their faces twisted in agony and all of them looking at Meena, as if they were still alive, pleading…

When I woke up, I found myself floating in the water while not feeling anything. There was no pain, no feeling in my hands, and no sensation of any kind at all. The only thing that made me aware that I was alive was my right eye which survived the fire. 'A miracle.' I wondered. This truly was a miracle, surviving a fall into the water with losing one's consciousness and not drowning. It truly was a miracle to retain my ability to think after all these injuries, more the ability to breathe.…

"Do you want to eat something good?" She asked me this with an almost innocent face. But I can feel that she was serious. And living on the refuse the villagers have thrown, I wished for a hot meal, at least once. So I took her offer and was gladly rewarded for it. With her help, it won't be hard for me to survive in this place. No more power fantasies of stalking people at night hunting for food. I even obtained some lanterns from her, just so that I could study the books at night. The…

In this world, some things would happen, that people are helpless against. Like the eruption of a volcano, earthquakes, tsunamis, and even tornados. All of these natural disasters are something a human can never face on his own nor stop them. They are like divine judgment, which humanity is helpless against. And this is how I felt at the moment. Completely helpless about what to do after I took a whole night to learn what my other self had planned. "Should I let it happen? The only ticket…

"Is every one asleep? You saw to it that no one noticed you leaving, right?" In the dark of night, when most of the village was sleeping, a group of four men were whispering to each other while being attentive to their surroundings. Their behavior is similar to rats that go out to search for food. But these people were not looking for food. They were looking forward to killing someone. "Yes, I saw all the houses, everyone is asleep. This is the perfect time to strike." The other guy said who had…

I was angry. Since coming here, I have tried my hardest to act normal. I have done things that I deem boring just to be accepted by these people. I have even worked in their homes so that they would accept me. But to these people, none of that matters. To these people, a stranger would remain a stranger no matter how hard he tried. If this is how they would treat me, why bother? Why put on an act of a kind man that I wasn't. Why work for these people who would show me a face of acceptance at…
