《The blonde and the brunette》1: Scott
Advertisement
I was happy. I was doing better. I felt better. I had no more problems. Because I was happy. I had someone who I thought was my forever friend, my soulmate, and my everything. But I was wrong. All wrong. I shouldn't have fallen in love. He abused me. That... that man. He made me do things I shouldn't have done. He did the unspeakable. He hurt me. Mentally and physically. I needed help. But no one was there for me. No one liked me. No one likes me at all. My issues have gotten worse. They have gotten to the point where I don't talk, don't speak, don't make eye contact, and don't need to make new friends. They won't like me anyway. Travis ruined me. You will never get to see the old happy Mitch. He's gone. I'm gone... oh no... it's happening again...
Every time I talk about t-this... I start panicking... a-and I feel... I feel like I'm going CraZy, and I cANt TaKE this anymore.
By the way... did I mention, Travis put me in this big hospital. He said it's where I belong. He said I was crazy...
I'm not crazy.
I just need help.
Help because of Travis.
This is all his fault.
All... Travis...
calm down Mitch... don't go crazy again...
T-TrAvIs diD tHiS to me...
~~~
I walk past each and every room, checking on the patients, making sure they are okay. Mitch's room is at the very end of the hall.
I walk towards his room and knock gently on his door.
I hear little mumbles and hums coming from him. But as soon as I open the door, he looks down and stops humming.
"Mitch? You ready for bed?" I ask.
He says nothing, which isn't new.
"Here, this is your soft, cuddly blanket. I want you to try to get some rest, okay? And maybe think about talking to me tomorrow?" I ask again.

Again, he says nothing and is still staring at the ground.
"Goodnight, Mitch. See you tomorrow." I say, before exiting his room, and locking the door behind me.
All the rooms had video cameras and radios inside of the room, so we could hear and see if the patients needed help.
I sometimes found myself watching Mitch. He seems normal when he is around me.
I wonder if I could help.
I wonder if tomorrow he will talk to me.
I wonder what goes on in his mind.
I wonder if he has feelings for anyone.
~~~
I wake up in the same spot I fell asleep. I didn't move much, that was rare. I normally always move around when I sleep.
I get up and put a new outfit on and use the bathroom.
I walk back out and see that tall blonde man standing outside of my door, unlocking it.
As the door opens, I quickly sit at he end of my bed and look down. I don't want to make eye contact with him. I don't want to speak to him.
"Good Morning, Mitch. How are you?" He says.
Why does he ask me questions if he knows I won't answer?
"Hey..." he mumbles. "I'll tell you a secret if you want. This has to stay between you and I though." He says, as his voice gets quieter.
He's trying to make me look at him.
Don't do it, Mitch.
Do it.
Don't do it, Mitch.
Do it.
Don't do it, Mitch.
DO IT.
I look up at him and make eye contact.
I can't look away. His eyes. His hair. His smile.
Woah...
MITCH!! Don't fall in love with him.
Love is bad... you don't want to be abused again.
"You did it! You looked at me." He says with a big smile, showing his pearly white teeth.

Just... just talk to him Mitch...
He is here to help, right?
"I guess I did, didn't I?" I said, almost scaring him with my voice.
"Your voice!! It's beautiful, you should use it more!!" He says.
That made me happy.
He made me happy.
Oh my gosh!!
Im happy!!
"What's going through you mind, right now?" He asks.
"Happy. You. You made me happy." I say.
He smiles.
"That's good. Now, you want to know the secret?" He asks.
I nod.
"Okay. Listen, if you talk to me, I'll help you. It won't be hard like the other workers make it. I'll make it fun. And I herd you like to sing. Well, so do I. Maybe we could sing together sometime." He says.
I smile.
"Mhmm." I say.
"Alright, I'll be right back. I have to go check on room 115." He says, getting up.
"Wait..." I say.
What am I doing?!
"What's wrong?" He asks.
"What's your name?" I ask.
"Scott, Scott Hoying." He says.
"I like it. Scotty." I say.
He smiles.
I will call him, Scotty.

The Eternal Vigil
The year is 2220, a time when governments and nation-states are slowly becoming a thing of the past. Instead, all prominent parts of human society are now organizing around the commands of three great Artificial Intelligences, owned and operated by the world's largest corporation. World peace has been achieved, and the very word 'politics' has disappeared from people's lips. Religion has largely disappeared, replaced in some parts by worshipping of the great AIs, but mostly substituted by a devotion to material goods and faith in the market. There is now a general consensus that the best form of government has been found. No, it is not democracy, nor is it autocracy or oligarchy. Instead, it is technocracy - rule by the learned, the intelligent, and the skilled. And who are more learned, intelligent, and skilled than the great AIs? Exactly, no one. The AIs will correct some market failures once in a while, but shall otherwise let the market be free. After all, the freer the market, the freer the people. Some may question how society advanced to this stage, but that is all they will do - question. Because they will not find answers, for history is no longer taught anywhere. After all, it is not a practical subject. One cannot get a decently paying job with a history degree. Society doesn't have any time for people to idly ponder about the past. No, this is a practical society of practical people: engineers, doctors, lawyers, developers, managers, bankers, soldiers, and the such. My name is Aiden Scivit and I used to be one such practical man: minding my own business, doing my job, with the faith that hard work will always be rewarded by the market...and that politics and philosophy were things thought of by idly people who leech off society. But this all changed, and here is my story, my history. Just because the stories of ages long past have been erased, does not mean that a brand new beginning cannot be created. The story is already finished but I still need to do some editing so a chapter should be released each day for a month. It is a bit political, as you can probably tell by the introduction, so there is that (it will low-key read like a philosophy dump 10% of the time, so really it's like Atlas Shrugged but liberal and worse lol). Also, I actually wrote this in grade 10 as part of my MYP Personal Project, and recently touched up on it for online publication. Finally, if you find the writing style passable and are interested in my other works, check out the one in the link below. It is a fantasy set in the Ancient Greek world, and is completed and uploaded in full: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/35099/the-oresteia-modernized

The Dreamside Road
Five years after the world fell into chaos, a treasure of artifacts is up for grabs. The relics of the Dreamside Road offer a power that could help rebuild or annihilate what remains. Orson Gregory is an adventurer for hire, but hunts this treasure for answers, not glory. Enoa Cloud’s late aunt helped hide the Dreamside Road, but following in her aunt’s supernatural tradition offers her as much peril as power. Together, Orson and Enoa battle a magic-obsessed militia, clash with a host of rivals, and face constant adventure on their journey to find the Dreamside Road. *Updates Monday and Friday The Dreamside Road is now on TopWebFiction! Vote so people know this exists. _____________________________________ NOTE: The Progression tag applies specifically to Enoa. Also, fair warning, that element doesn't enter the story until she begins her studies. Content: Main characters range in age from teenagers to people in their thirties and older, but it will not contain gratuitous violence or explicit sexual content. It also won’t shy away from implication, anything to make this story and its world feel more real. Characters will freely allude to potentially triggering topics, including living with a disability, facing terminal illness, coping with trauma, surviving societal destabilization, and the consequences of bigotry. At its most intense, the Dreamside Road is a hard PG-13. Worldbuilding: This is not a story with a lot of early exposition scenes, conveniently explaining ‘magic systems’ and political dynamics. Readers will learn, progressively, as the characters do. This story/world has a ‘magic system’, or rather, a set of systems, but the effort to quantify and understand the truth of the setting plays a role in the backstory, as well as in some character motivations. In that same vein, not every character has a firm grasp on the nature of their world, and not every piece of dialog from every character should be taken as entirely truthful Worldbuilding. Also, this isn't the softest Sci-fi. There are at least some basic explanations given for various elements, but Royal Road does not give me a spectrum to choose from. Given the choice between hard and soft, let's just say The Dreamside Road won't be cited in any college Physics papers. Setting and Theme: The Dreamside Road walks the line between fantasy and science fiction and deals with finding one’s place in a changing world. Many of the characters in this story are United States natives and the story begins in the United States, my homeland. However, knowledge or interest in this country is not necessary to understand the story, especially as it progresses. Also, as this is a novel that deals with societal collapse and while that damage may be widespread, in story, I don’t want to overstep and critique the culture of others’ unless I have particular knowledge in a given area. Ultimately, the Dreamside Road is American in the same way Harry Potter is English, fantasies that do not have a full secondary world, but with enough original elements to fully diverge the setting from our the real world.

Blood? My wrist was covered in it. It wasn't dried up or reeked of the combination of that black gunk from all those other freaks. It was fresh and warm too. Where was it coming from? I checked my body. My t-shirt was splattered in everyone else's blood but my own. Turning over my hand, my eyes lowered to where Ray was holding onto me. I gasped and released him, covering my mouth to stop from screaming. "Holy shit dude! What happened to your-?!" Tears were forming in his eyes but he looked down and hid his hand from me. "Please d-don't worry about it. Let's just go find a real hospital already." He said while shaking. "I...I don't want to think about it right now O-okay? It's no big deal..It's just...it's a finger..." My mind went blank. I pulled him into a tight hug. I wanted to do nothing much but to cry right now. I got him into this mess. This was all my fault.
