《The Red Snowman》The Dream of Euthanasia
Advertisement
I was one with the waters, the waters and I were one.
Surrounded by an ocean of pink, with fuchsia skies above me. The clouds slowly drifted away, and so did my psyche.
Years passed, my mind wandering where nobody could see me. This is me, who was I, again?
Yes, I was born here, no they left me. I was born anew.
I used to be her, but I no longer am. No.... maybe... perhaps. What was I reaching at?
Ohh, the bottles. They're full of treasures.
The beat in my heart, I can hear it.
Everything. Nothing.
Hahahaha... I'm so scared... hahahahaha...
It's the middle of the night and I can't sleep... tell me a good night story.
Ashes to ashes.
Shivers.
Thank you, but I must go. To be strangled... by... by... hahahahahahaha... don't scare me like that.
Monsters don't exist.
But birds? Birds do.
Fly, fly to the sky. I'm an egg.
Do you want to eat us? Oh. Go on, there is no baby inside.
Not even the tiniest one.
Tiniest bottle, rocking on a fence.
Am I becoming just like you?
It's so calm... but I remember the storm. I was singing beautiful melodies.
Then... the bells, they rang. A thief! Alarm, alarm!!!
Then I found out, the hole in my chest. It's all spilling, it's all spilling like waters!
The fox! Fumbling around in my brain. Oh... oh...
False sense of security.
I just can't change.
Let's meet in a secret place, with whispers in the afternoon.
Unburdened by words, the winter is gone.
[ … ]
I was one with the waters... the waters were... the waters... where am I?
Surrounded by marshmallows, the cotton candy melting above me.
Oh... so sweet... I'll be chasing these flowers... until I'm tired... from my euphoria.

Lalala... lalalala... lala... la...
The syllables are so heavy... they sink, engulfed by my fluffy pillows.
La.
La-ce-ra-ted.
Why is my skin crying red?
Mmm... strawberry syrup, sinking deeper into the velvet custard...
...feather pens, scribbling down their names... in the crumbling pastry.
Years pass by, oh how do they fly.
Tell me my hero, where you are going, again?
Oh... your steps betray you, are you lost?
Can't you see, we were not made to see tomorrow?
Cute razor petals, dancing all around me. Their melody wouldn't bind me.
Sprinkling like a blooming rose.
Twirling, turning, twisting, thrashing ~ tender torture.
Hahahahahaha... hahahahaha...
Giggle-gee.
Oh, again. Stuck in a place without you.
Ashes to ashes.
Shivers.
Hop, hop, hopping between the clouds.
...and the clock ticks away... seconds, minutes, days...
A new dawn has come. I was waiting for so long... why are you telling me to stay strong?
Everything. I have. Had.
Nothing?
The light so blinding, it brings the rain to wash off our sins... but these stains, I can't believe I have been touched by... and the walls shatter, a new twilight has come.
Pushed down.
Stomped on the ground.
Glass stars crashing... splashing... I am not that strong... where do I belong? Here? Until when?
I just have to change... and leave?
Lu-li-la-ly-li-la-la-ly.
Clockwork ballerina in a cage, is she still there? Waiting for me with her warm welcomes and smiles. Oh, it's just me? Swallowed by darkness and broken.
My, my... the white swells, squeezing us like juice... juice out of us.
Tiny crabs and crickets, living in my stomach. Oh... the skin pale as bone... canvas in the wind.
With my thousand tiny eyes, I am here... spying, lurking... painting.
Sing with us a song of seekers, imprint the ever-changing rules.
Combine.
Unite.
Bride's veil, but no groom.

Name?
[incomprehensible]
The golden flow of the golden river, reverted, locked behind a golden lock.
A monster without a name.
Embracing the wounds that can't be erased.
My name is Pandemonium.
I was born behind black, iron bars.
No, silly. It was...
[incomprehensible]
...and it crashed, and fell apart.
Another! Another restart! Don't you worry, your dreams, I'll make them come true!
I'm your...
[incomprehensible]
Open eyes. Feel the waves crash through you. Hold tight.
Dripping oil paints the pearls.
Make me move. Make it move.
Surrender.
No, hold tight!!!
[ERROR]
Restart.
You can't fix the past.
Kill the memories.
I will not be giving in to the night.
There are too many things to track.
I don't want you to see that.
Why is recovery taking forever?
We're not meant to last.
Erasing memories.
Change is what we need.
Purple kings, white pests, yellow fever, black blood.
She... it is ready.
[Bzzzzzzzzz]
Did you make no mistake?
Candy bags!!!
No one is going to save you.
Uh-oh. Don't run.
Crack. Splurt. Thud.
I'm tearing at the walls, or is it my tangled brain?
It sparkles!
Erased, disregarding consequences.
We've run out of time!!
Isolate it.
Hide and seek, cat and mouse!
Oh! You have me... let's play again.
[Restart]
[Restart]
[Restart]
[No, no. Snooze it or you lose it.]
[Re-re----sst--]
[Yes, rest in peace. Dummy.]
[How do I leave these boxes.]
[Uhm... push... push.]

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

Dragons of Dark Rebellion in A World of Essence
In a world where cultivation is the highest form of virtue, the purity of one’s blood is of absolute value. Saul is neither Arloni, nor Delcairan. He’s both. But when a strange ring suddenly falls into his hands, nineteen year old Saul is more than willing to push the boundary between fantasy and reality. However, things are not as they once were in Falden. At a time where Saul finally confronts lord Albryte’s sons after years of torment and abuse, his father’s health is fading fast. Suddenly faced with the consequences of his actions, Saul is forced to make a difficult decision. And as he fights his own battle, dark forces descend upon Lucidia. Followed by a pair of glowing red eyes, a stranger appears in the night, visiting Falden with unfavorable intentions. Even worse, nameless assassins strike at the heart of the capital, leaving Eliza Zaryph, the black sheep of the ruling house of Lucidia, shouldering the burden of governing a kingdom that once turned its back on her. As the world marches toward chaos, their lives take a drastic turn. Will Saul abandon those he holds most dear? Will Eliza drown herself in the past? Or will they struggle against fate and seize the future with their own hands? Tomorrow remains uncertain. But the Sun will show them the way. Author's Note: Inspired by the Wuxia/Xianxia genre the magic system is comprised of cultivating through different Worlds of power, where each World offers more strength and abilities. Currently there are five Worlds known: Essence Practitioner, Essence Channeler, Essence Warrior, Essence Conquerer, and finally Essence Ruler.
