《He Never Loved Me (#Wattys2019)》Chapter 1
Advertisement
"I wish I was as numb as everyone thinks I am." I thought to herself, "The girl who doesn't feel anymore; The girl who doesn't care. The selfish, self-interested girl who couldn't care any less about what anyone has to say. "
MY eyes shifted to the side again and became glazed with a glassy layer of tears. As I blinked, they dripped from my eyelids and slid down my cheeks. I bit my lip tightly in attempt to hide any sound that wanted to escape, my lower lip quivered as words slowly made their way out. . .
"But I know that I am not, and I never will be that girl," I confess.
My heart is broken. It's in pieces, every piece has a jagged end. These edges poke at me from the inside every time I move, even every time I breath. I was forever tormented by a past that could not be undone, fine on the outside, hurt in the inside.
My hair is straightened out for the first time since the break up, my eyelashes curled, and my outfit cascade. I have my head held high, and my mouth in a coy smile that radiated my innocent soul.
There were days I would awake and my memories weighed heavy. The morning radio came to me through a haze and the smiles of others were no more real than the pixelated icons on my phone. It was temporary of course, but in that permanent way; however high I rose and how long I stayed away this was the base-line I would always return to.
Inside, I was bleeding. How am I even capable of surviving? Sometimes the pain isn't even metaphorical. It is real. Like someone is clawing at my heart, like I'm having a cardiac arrest, sometimes I just want to curl and throw up.
I couldn't eat anymore, found the sight of food revolting. No one seemed to ask if I was okay when they heard the news, they only assumed I was on some cool new diet. I mean lets be honest, Could the popular and maybe even famous Kay possibly be depressed?

A (Not So) Simple Fetch Quest
Oh great hero! The evil Demon Lord has once again arisen to terrorise our lands, and we have summoned you to save our people! No, we don't want you to fight the demon lord! Of course not; we're the good guys! What sort of good guys kidnap people from other worlds and force them to take part in wars that have nothing to do with them? That would just be plain evil! We'd be no better than the demons! Katie, after her summoning by an excessively loud mage suddenly takes an unexpected twist, is sent off on a simple fetch quest, with a promise that she'll be back home in five minutes at most. She doesn't even need to leave the building. Alas, when a goddess' blessing causes her wish for an actual adventure to be taken rather more literally than she expected, she finds herself lost in a dark cave, far away from the sword she was supposed to acquire and far too close to a population of giant bugs. Still, at least she wished her life wasn't in any danger. Among other things. Be careful what you wish for. You might just get it. This is a dark litRPG adventure, both in terms of Katie accidentally wishing all the lights out, and also in that she loses as often as she wins, often with horrific and disturbing consequences. Luckily, Katie isn’t the sort of person to let a mere grizzly death or two get her down, and is prepared to try, try and try again to get her hands on the holy sword and finally complete her ‘simple’ fetch quest. Or perhaps—with a few resistance skills under her nightie—she might even come to enjoy losing. Not that she’d ever consider forgoing revenge, even if she did. I’ve ticked all the content warning checkboxes for this one. There’s no explicit sexual content, but there are enough references to justify the warning. Profanity happens rarely, but Katie isn’t averse to swearing when she gets particularly angry. As for gore/trauma, it doesn’t get much worse than the first few chapters, but there will be occasional chapters that have extra content warnings.

False Reality
Wildbridge was a sleepy town. Nothing much happened there. Well, not since... Martin. And that suited Serina just fine. But everything was about to change. Or had it already started changing, and all that was about to happen was that people were going to start noticing? Well, it's difficult not to notice when people start turning up dead. Murdered. Especially when you're a senior member of the Serious Crime Investigation team. Meanwhile, many light years away on the non-aligned planet of Jahanna, changes were already afoot, and there were whispers of rebellion and revolution on the streets. But death is not far away here, either. As the well-oiled machinery of the bureaucracy begins to stutter and creak under the weight of murder and betrayal, just how far will the Council go to maintain the status quo?
