"You are just going to sleep the whole day away, Luna?" She tried to open her eyes slowly, but it felt heavy. Luna knew the voice right away, so she just kept her eyes closed.
"Just five more minutes."
"Get up. Come on, I made eggs and hash."
She just smiled at the thought of a freshly made breakfast. "I had a dream."
"What about?"
"You were gone… And I was left all alone."
"You were never alone. I’m always with you and Annie." The figure lie down beside her. "Luna… I’m serious. You need to wake up now."
"Can’t we just enjoy this? You know, I hate mornings."
He chuckled at her response. "They are worried about you."
"They will be fine without me. All I have ever done is make everyone’s lives worse. I don’t… I don’t want to go back. I want to stay with you."
"You can't, Luna. It’s…It’s not your time yet."
She felt a tear escape from her eyes as both of them lay there in silence. She wanted to see him. To see his face again. But Luna could not open her eyes.
"I’m sorry." Luna openly cried. "I’m sorry… for everything I have done. I left you alone. I should have been the one. I should have been the one who died."
The figure shushed her gently.
"You have nothing to be sorry for. I gave my life for you because I love you." The figure said as Luna felt more tears roll down her cheeks. "And I would gladly do it all again for you."
"Please don’t leave me alone. I can’t do it alone. I can’t do it without you. I can’t go on."

"You can. I have been watching you and I’m very proud. You are a bit sloppy without me but still doing well so far." Luna felt the figure brush her tears away. "Luna. I want you to be happy. You need to let me go. I’m already gone."
"Please don’t say that. Please. I can’t do that… I can’t. Please. Let me stay with you. I can’t do it."
"You have so much love to give to the world, Luna. Don’t give up on it, on them, because they need you. You still have your life ahead of you. Don’t spend it all in hatred and grief." She kept on crying while the figure wiped her tears for her. "Forgive yourself, Luna."
"I love you. I will never love anyone else."
"I love you too." He said back as the figure now started to slowly vanish. "Live a full life, Luna. Live, and if you need to, love again. Please forgive yourself. And give Annie a big hug for me."
"Marko!"

I'm Always Talking to Myself
My name is Zach. I’m a typical bland featureless protagonist type. The kind of guy who has purposefully few defining characteristics so that people can project whatever they want on me. Like Luke from Star Wars or what’s her name from Twilight. Most main characters are like me. Kind of flavorless blank slates because we all secretly doubt that we’re Harrison Ford, but pretty much anyone could be Mitt Romney. Yep. Yes indeed, I do spend basically my entire life running an internal dialog to no one. Usually I’m imagining that there are people listening. Like maybe philosophers from Ancient Greece, or researchers from another planet who act suspiciously like the characters from that Instagram comic with the aliens. Stupid Instagram comedians stealing my internal monologue and turning into a wildly successful enterprise which I would imagine has a vibrant merch dropshipping arm and hundreds of thousands of daily dopamine hits for loyal followers. I basically spend all of my time explaining random things to imaginary people (and aliens, and animals, and household items which have inexplicably gained sentience and frankly have some concerns about this whole existence thing). Honestly, it’s both highly entertaining to me, in that it makes me think about why we humans do all of the bizarre things that we do, but also horrifically exhausting and kind of makes you feel like you’re either, worst cast, losing your grip on reality, or best case, becoming Abed from Community. Anyway, I’m sure that I have some distinguishing characteristics, but, in the interest of hypnotic suggestion I’m choosing to omit them until I’m pretty sure that you have subconsciously come to identify with me, or until I feel like it. (By the way, in case I forgot to mention it, a higher power called Aww Thor or something told me to say that this is a slice-of-life comedy adventure and that it's set in a fantasy world with isekai and LitRPG elements.)

Deviant's Masquerade: The Huntsman's Quest (An Urban Magic Quest/RPG)
Jon Whitaker went to summer camp expecting a nice relaxing time as a newly minted counselor in training. He was not expecting to fight an army of monsters, work with a serial killer, enter a one-sided friendship with an eldritch horror, or study under a competing witch and dark lord. But regardless of what he was expecting, his summer is over and he's made his way back home where he can try and return to a normal -for him- life. Too bad life rarely goes as expected. --- Please Note: This is forum quest/RPG I run in the same city/setting as my other stories Hacking Reality and Get Ink'd, meaning that while a majority of the plot is made up by me, the major choices as well as what each chapter is about are usually made by the actual readers in forum votes. Additionally, given how this is essentially a story version of a Tabletop game there is also a background RPG system that while the characters aren't necessarily aware of, the readers can see these stats to know how each chosen 'Action' effects their character's development.
