NIGHTMARE SUBURBIA Part 7 ASHLEY Ashley Yates trudged into the dimly lit foyer and wheeled her suitcase behind her like a reluctant companion. Exhaustion pressed down upon her, etching deep lines onto her face. With every step, the floorboards creaked. “Hello?” Ashley called out, the sound swallowed by the oppressive silence that greeted her. Her voice bounced off the cold walls. “Dave, are you home, sweetie?” No one answered. “Viv? Xavier?” She entered the house, put her luggage to the…-

NIGHTMARE SUBURBIA Part 5 I blinked at the list of prompts flooding my vision. I’ve increased in rank and also replenished my Power (increasing its maximum points by one) when I absorbed whatever energy emanated from Dave’s body. I didn’t know what crystals and the essence were, but when I looked under the Core tab, the four abilities glowed this forest green hue, telling me I could upgrade one to Rank II. Curiously, it felt like I was no longer starving for a few days, though my stomach still…

NIGHTMARE SUBURBIA Part 4 Blood trickled down Dave’s cheek and splattered onto his shirt. Blood soaked his hair from the gash where he smashed his face as he tumbled down the steps. His right leg bent in an odd direction. My vision blurred. I couldn’t believe I had done this. I might have given him a concussion, but Dave was still alive. Barely. His phone lay three feet to the right; Its shattered screen mirrored the damage I had inflicted. It still worked. Someone texted him. Flight got delayed…

Part 3 As the beat-up sedan rumbled away from the forest, I realized I was tethered to that cursed gem. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t escape its grasp. I was like a hapless kite tied to the sedan’s roof, helplessly watching the world whiz by, mocking my attempts to flee. Each time I dared to venture beyond its boundaries, which was around a mile radius, I found myself back inside the car, forced to endure the excruciating small talk between Alvin and Dave about jobs, sports, and whatever the…

Part 2 There is a perfect understanding when a being is confined to the boundaries of the known world, where things are merely explained in theories proven to be closer to the truth. When the universe seems to fit, it calls to your connection to it, embracing its vibrant symphony, weird intricacies, and the unknowable of Mother Nature. You are alive, and this is the mundane menagerie of your existence. Accept it. I lost a part of that for something… Something I couldn’t explain. I could Suddenly,…

THE CABIN IS ALWAYS HUNGRY NIGHTMARE SUBURBIA Part 1 The darkness stirred, and I called out. I couldn’t remember how I died—only the pain that almost caused me to black out and the confusion that followed. The darkness awaited me; it was all I had ever known since I awoke. It was constantly stirring, silent, and unbroken—an expanse of infinite horizons. I called out nonetheless, hoping for someone to answer back. How long had I waited? Weeks? Months? Decades? Without sight. Without…

Since I woke up, i accessed my divinity for what happened since i embedded the 'spark'. You see, divinity isn't just some type of energy. You would say it is an entire working machine, once I became unconscious the machine or in this case my divinity started recording a film of my journey to here, wherever i am in which by the way i now know why this place reeks of my divinity. A world shaped with but a wound, huh smells strange i say. But back to the point, I'm pretty weak. Not very much so, i still…

A rift opened in the overvoid from it came an injured Min Joo but his injuries didn't seep blood instead let out golden energy, this energy is his divinity. The injuries didn't heal themselves which is strange for a god of Min Joo's magnitude but that is expected as he is now in the overvoid where another kind of violent energy dwells, his body continues to hurdle through out the overvoid in a speed greater than the speed of light with no sign of stopping and he still remains unmoving and…
