Pin drop silence broken by hasty footsteps, and the pained creaking of the wooden gate.
The young girl, with a cloak, walked in faster than the wind, smiled, and said "sorry, I'm late."
The harshly cold night did nothing to deter the warmth in her smile as she stood there all alone.
She reached and pulled out a white linen cloth from her bag, and spread it across the stone.
She removed a grey candle and placed it on the stone, under the skies tainted a similar grey.
When it refused to burn she chuckled to herself, "Well there's no more light in my life anyway."
She pulled out a single crimson red rose, and lay it out across the flawless white sheet.
"Why the stone face?" She laughed and said, "My friend, I've been looking forward to this all week!"
For the next few hours she spoke to the stone, with enthusiasm, laughing and talking as if under a spell.
But after a point her voice began to quiver, silence spreaded as her eyes started to swell.
She waited for the silence to sink into her soul, as her eyes tried to blink out the welled up tears.
She stared at the tombstone in front, wishing she could've done something to increase her living years.
She remembered when this silence was non-existent, when the sound of her laughter filled up the room.
Unlike the candle on her grave did now, she loved how her grey eyes danced to dispel the gloom.
But now she lay buried in the dust and dirt of the graveyard, and nothing could drain out the grey.
Nothing could save her from the sorrows now, and no one could take the unbearable grief away.
"I wish you weren't so cold sometimes" she said, as the wind sends shivers down her spine.
She got up slowly and then quietly kissed her grave, "I'll be back for you in a week's or a month's time."
The footsteps faded into the distance, as the old wooden gate creaked to a still.
Her grave once again receded into peace, surrounded by deathly silence and her soul into a not so eternal bliss.

A Journey in Darkness
A Journey in Darkness is the story of a human girl who finds herself displaced far, far away from home, in a new world filled with wonders to discover and perils to overcome in her very own way. Waking up in a cave in her pajamas will only be the start of her problems. Will she find a way out? Maybe. Will she get eaten while searching for it? Probably. Is she going to be quite unhappy with the menu offered? Absolutely. Hello! I’m Mr. White and this is my first story. I hope you will like it! In this tale you won’t find a powerful main character conquering the new evil world with only the power of his tortured soul. What you will find is a normal person growing and finding her way despite the hardships she encounters in a world that is not so black and white. I will be posting every Tuesday and Friday and I’ll try to keep as large a backlog as possible. English is not my first language so I hope you will inform me if you find any mistake in the chapters.

Digital Demons
Dispite how it sounds, activating the device that melted her brain was probably the best thing that ever happened to Blade, a former member of the slum districts. Though the process was extreme, instead of endless nothing or eternal suffering our heroine finds that her death was just a nessisary part of the digitization of her brain. Now she has joined the millions of rich and powerful who gave up their lives for a second chance in the fully imersive game world of Templa. Not one to be detered by a challange (or her death), Blade chooses to start in the unforgiving Demon Lands. This is known to be the hardest starting zone in all of Templa, but those who make it through are some of the best players in the game. Does Blade have what it takes? Chapters are always 2000+ words with no relese schedual at the moment. Thanks for reading! -------------------------------------------------- Droped due to poor quality.
