《Stress Reliever》The Cold Breath
Advertisement
Doing anything feels like a chore.
I literally, cannot, bring myself to do things. It's like I need happiness and I need it now, instead of working. And it's royally pissing me off. It's pissing me off that there's this sort of barrier I have to step over to talk to my friends, to open my library to play games, to even type this.
Feels like a bloody chore. Feels like it's taking too much effort out of me.
And great. Now that I've written this out, it feels way too barebones to read.
So, let's write a story here as well. Why the hell not?
It's so cold. I want to sleep.
The traveller left deep footprints in the snow. All he could see was a vast expanse of white, the blizzard overwhelming everything. He couldn't feel his hands, he couldn't feel his feet.
He wasn't even sure that he was still moving, but he did the motions anyways.
Just a little bit further, for the nth time. Just one more foot in front of the other.
It's so cold. I want to sleep.
He did not dare to even sit. But he so very much wanted to.
He continued in the storm.
Alone.
The cold was insidious. He had lost all sensation of feeling.
He looked down. The snow was so deep. He lifted his foot. There was a pile of snow on his shoe, and the pit he un-covered had already vanished under the continous snow coming at him.
He took a step forward, watching his feet curiously. And it sank and he moved forward again.
It's so cold. I want to sleep.
He thought he had gotten used to the cold by now. He suddenly had an urge to scream. To claw at his face. To take off his clothes and just run. He thought he had gotten used to the cold by now.

He thought he had...
This will pass, he told himself. It has passed before, and it will pass again.
It did not fucking pass, it gnawed at him, and he had to continue moving.
...
He just wanted everything to end.
It's so cold. I want to sleep.
He wanted to huddle up in the snow and sleep.
Just a little bit more.
One foot in front of the other.
He could not feel his breath on his face.
But other people have made this trek too! He was just as prepared as them! He had done everything right!
Why...
Why was he here?
He had done his best.
It's so cold. I want to sleep.
The snow was never-ending.
The cold was never-ending.
The cold.
The cold.
Cold.
It was so cold.

Hemophobia
Having a good life Chris never even thought about joining virtual reality. A lot of friends and even more girlfriends. Expensive clothes and cars. A handsome athletic look and highly intelligent mind. In addition a Family that can provide everything to him. Pretty much everything someone wants to have at the age of 20. However Chris starts to have second thoughts about his ''blessings'' and decides to join virtual reality with the purpose of having a very different life there.PS. There will be no violation (rape) scenes in my story. Rape, sadly, is part of our world with many culprits and victims and I don't accept to 'create' another victim OR culprit of such monstrosities, even if they are fictional. The story in general will remain on the bright side most of the time.

Points of Light - An Oral History of the Collapse
Humanity endures. The phrase is not only an informal slogan of the reformed United Nations, but a rallying cry the world over. Even in the face of extermination, we struggled, we fought, and we endured. But just how close did we actually come? In our darkest hour, how many steps separated our species from oblivion? And are we even safe now? Were the mistakes made by earlier generations really so obvious? Or are they only so blatent when we look back with the advantage of hindsight? If so, what horrors might be staring us in the face even now that no one has the foresight to prevent? Drawn from thousands of interviews, as well as uncorrupted contemporary recordings and source documentation dating back to the early 2000s; Points of Light is a definative look at the last half century of upheaval, prosperity and carnage. It tells the tale of what happened, how it happened, who was responsible and most importantly, what we might be able to do to prevent it from happening again. This is a rewrite of a previously started fiction under a pen-name. Chapters will be updated every two days at 6:00 EST.
