《Diary of an Insomniac》Night 12
Advertisement
It's 3:34 am and I've looked through my diary once again. I don't remember you. I remember reading something about Lenore and nevermore in high school. Poe, Edger Allen Poe and that's from his most famous poem. Is it the crow or the raven? It's been awhile but what do you mean you're my Lenore? I don't know you. I haven't forgotten you. I've never met you before. So who are you? You've now left random Latin phrases, warned me about some group out to get me, dirtied my book with your blood, and now claiming me as your lover? I don't get it. I left you my phone number. But no, you have to keep up this creepy crap. If you're going to keep pulling this bull then leave me alone. I don't need this. You're fucking up my life. I can't focus in class because I'm worried about someone breaking into my house while I'm in school. I'm in debt and my job isn't helping much there. I think I might be crazy. I am arguing with someone through my fucking diary. I hate my life. I woke up in my stiff bed that lies on the floor. I drove to school in my car that I don't know when it'll break down. I absentmindedly didn't hear the professor go on a tangent about something uninteresting. My friends could play pool so I sat in the corner thinking about my sanity because that's what happens when things get quiet. I skipped my next class and went home. I sat in a corner on the floor and traced out the patterns the sprayed paint had left. I ate what little I could with a headache that returned with a vengeance. Now I'm here.
He warned you to beware her madness. She seeks to own your very essence. The cabal will either use you or they will destroy you. She makes them seem like children in terms of might and immorality. He warned you of the cabal and their thirst for our kind. They are not all encompassing as her. If you take flight then you may outwit them. There is no escaping the woman in red for she resides in you. She will spill words of honey but like all roses they are surrounded by thorns. Do not heed her words or fall for her coercion. I have no other method of contacting you. I am speaking to you through *erased* and as such have no ability to converse with the use of phones. I know it to be far too troubling for a young man such as yourself, but none choose this gift. Trust me for I have seen the dark universe yawning where the black planets roll without aim, where they roll in their horror unheeded, without knowledge, or lustre, or name. I am like her aged beyond understanding. You are a part of us. I know my words confuse you and for that I apologize. The human mind lacks the capability to understand our true thoughts. .dleiy ro timbus ot reven egaruoc eht dna ,etah latrommi ,egnever fo yduts dna ,lliw elbareuqnocnu eht ,tsol ton si llA

REND
In an alternate reality Earth, where a mysterious organization of superhumans fights eldritch horrors taking over people's minds, Erind Hartwell, a first-year law student with psychopathic tendencies and obsessive compulsion to follow an inexplicably arbitrary set of Rules, seemed normal in comparison. And that is what she is going for. Society frowned on different—especially her kind of different. Rule #4, "I wouldn’t bother the world as long as it didn't bother me." Unfortunately, the world bothered Erind's normal life. On the brink of death, an entity came offering powers to save her. Left with no other choice, she accepted it, changing into a new form—the first of many that'll help her survive this dangerous world. REND is a twist on the superpowered human genre combined with eldritch horror, but its main emphasis is character development and exploration, as it is mainly a psychological story. REND offers a unique reading experience. If you're looking for something different from the mainstream, then this story just might provide the experience you didn't know you were looking for. Cover is part of a wallpaper art commissioned from CristianAC. Chapter release every multiple of 5 days (5th, 10th, 15th, etc.) of the month. 10 am Central/ 3pm GMT

Tethered Souls
All humans are connected to the ether, the realm of magic, by invisible, intangible tethers. Tethers are a reflection of humanity, and etheral magic resists what it is to be human. The more 'human' you are and display, the more your tether constricts, restricting the flow of ether. Utilizing ether draws out the human psych, making it extremely difficult to use ether dynamically and for long periods of time. Burning ether allows a person strength unlike any other, sharpens the mind more than any enhancement drug, and allows the person to directly influence the physical world around them.Hugh Perigrine is unique. Orphaned at the age of 1, Hugh is a ward of the Imperial Empire and an acolyte to the Imperial Library. For reasons unbeknownst to him, he does not experience the world in the same way as his peers. He doesn't care for the war with the rebel armies. He doesn't feel the need to vocalize complaints. He doesn't hunt for gossip and there is no object that he cares enough about to desire. He does not fantasize. He is simply unlike everyone else. But Hugh can see things that others cannot, and he understands impossible forces at work around him. Hugh's entire being is latent with etheral power, and he is at the forefront of what is thought of to be possible and impossible.There is however, something that Hugh covets - the meaning behind who he is, why he exists, and where he comes from.
