《Revival Factory & Other Novellas》The Nymphs of Mosiac (Ch.34)
Advertisement
When I was about to unlock the door then I saw the two cats in front of it. The stubborn cats weren't looking to leave my way. I kicked them hard and went outside the house, without locking the door.
When I stepped on the road then saw some corpses on there. After walking few minutes, I saw very nasty view of decapitated heads.
There were a dozen of those lifeless heads there and the bodies were nowhere to be found.
I felt extreme thirst due to horror. I felt like kick on the gut and had to battle with urge to vomit again.
I knew where I was going. The place which had started it all.
Markeenz.
"You should have let me jump from the balcony." I said to the divine kid who was no more alive. I imagined the child walk with him while I was finding dead bodies everywhere. The place looked nothing shy of an apocalyptic world. The dystopian world.
Still there were some people running around, not one was worth to be talked with.
"You should have let me jump. You should have let me hit the ground and get squashed." Now I began blaming the child, whom I had been thanking more than anyone else few days ago, "Not only did I kill in battlefield but also in later years of my life. Let those commit suicide who possess capacity to harm others. If you had let me die than they would have survived."
I remembered of Dormer and his action of giving letter to a child. I could blame Dormer no more.
I soon went near the river, saw corpses and burning police vans. I went in the shore. Sun was about to set and I couldn’t forgive himself.
I walked inside the river and submerged myself inside it. I had no intentions to kill myself but I was hoping the water would clear my sins. I hoped it will make Lord forgive my crime which I had done unintentionally.

Then I pulled myself out of the water and walked away from the river. After walking for some time, I noticed nasty smell from his body and stickiness on my body.
I was drenched in blood. Blood was dripping from the clothes. Neither the water of lake was red nor were corpses there anymore. But still I came out with blood from clean water.
It was dark already so I found no problem to walk back to my residence in such situation. When I entered inside my house then he saw the freaking Russian Blue run towards me. It came running towards me and began to lick blood on my feet.
It gripped my leg like a human gripped a tree and began to lick blood like ice – cream.
I pushed the filthy creature away, took off shoes and bathed. After bathing I changed clothes and wrapped the bloodied clothes to dump it. When I was about to get out of the house to throw clothes in trash then I saw the same cat licking his bloodied shoes. This time it had called its other friends. Even the Garfield (the laziest cat I had ever seen) was there.
I threw the shoes as well. Now I no longer wanted to sleep in lobby. I went back to the bedroom which no more stunk. I lied on bed with numbness within me. Then I realized even in my own beloved bedroom, I didn’t want to sleep.
I stared at the ceiling for a couple of hours until my eyes could no longer resist being opened. I slept.
He saw his wife hugging him. He couldn’t see himself in this dream too. Her face was very close to his face but still Tarot didn’t look back in his eyes. He wanted to speak but no words came out of his mouth.

"Hey, why don’t you talk to me?" he shouted loudest he could.
"Look, he's angry!" his wife's sister came there and began to touch his head too.
"Stop doing it, bitch!" he shouted and only allowed his wife to touch him.
"He seems to have grown interest on you." His wife's sister said and they laughed.
Tarot stretched his hand and touched her face. She liked it and looked at her sister. Tarot couldn’t hold his love for her anymore so he pulled her cheek.
"Ouch!" she said and Tarot felt like he was dropped down.
Blood came from her cheek, "You nasty creature. Oh!" she screamed.
"I did not mean to!" Tarot screamed.
"Don’t pick him up now." Sister said.
"You slut, how dare you to say so?" he again bellowed.
But Tarot saw them leave…
Tarot ran after them but didn’t get them.
He saw a man run after him with a stick in his hand, "Come here, you bastard!" He presumed he got hit on the back.

Scorched - The Winter Winds (LitRPG)
Frank Ebner once wanted to save the world. Let the second one be better than the first. On Earth he was a student of... well it hardly matters anymore. It was dying, and he and the rest of his fellows and friends studying how to stave off the end graduated just in time to be told it was too late. That there was not enough time, funds, will, to stop it anymore. That the governments and the worthies of the world had moved from trying to stop it, to surviving the oncoming apocalypse, while blaming each other. That was a world Frank wanted nothing to do with. One riven by wars for places in the Archologies going up, and between them and the dying world they were leaving behind. So when a strange voice offered him a way out, to a world unmarred by the poison killing his? Frank took it. The voyage changed him, made him fit his new world, one of stats and magic. It came with perks, for in passing through their Heavens, they'd been exposed to Divinity, and taken some of the Celestial within them. Heroes now, but there are heroes, and there are Heroes. The nobility of the Empire care only for those who carry blessed bloodlines, and their time to adapt and train up for the new world is limited. Patrons are scarce among those like Frank, with only the base Hero perks, and magic studies expensive and lengthy. Often requiring heavy Oaths to gain the necessary aid to wield mana as a mage. Frank found another way. It nearly cost him his life. Now on the run and burned by the very magic he sought and craved, he is a pilgrim traveling to the The Eternal Tree, font of Perseverance. Frank hopes Ir-karlak will grant him some way to recover from the fires that scorched him. Without snuffing out the embers those fires lit within, for he has learned to harness them and he would not give up magic for the world. *** In the last 21 days, as I update this, I've managed about 18-19 updates. So Scorched should update most days, muse willing. She's fickle, sometimes. Not every day, but most. If there's an update for the day, it will be at 7PM, GMT+2. *[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Actually completed it. :) *
