《Diary of an Insomniac》Night 19
Advertisement
I don't know what time it is. I awoke today with the hot sun beating down on my face while I slept on the sandy beach. I walked along the never ending coast line searching for any other person. I didn’t know what I would say to them. Would I tell them about my dreams and the constant whispers that I've heard throughout my life? Would I warn them of the group that held me in captivity while brainwashing me into believing I'm something I'm not? Or would I simply give them this journal and continue walking knowing that they will find me? I still don’t know. Regardless my feet were smoldered by the burning sand I walked upon. My mouth shriveled up forming a sandpaper like surface that demanded water. There was plenty of water in the sea but I knew that drinking the ocean water would do more harm than good. So I kept walking as I felt that I should do. Despite the thirst, hunger and pain, my body didn’t slow down. My muscles didn’t feel fatigued and sore. My feet, while extremely painful, kept stepping forward. Neither my physical body nor my mental will could hold me back on my journey. While walking on the burning Yellow surface I looked out into the horizon of infinite waves and saw a boat floating on the air. I learned long ago that due to the light bouncing off the water coupled by the world bending at the edge caused ships that sailed at such a distance to appear as if it was flying in the air. The heat coming off the sand distorted the image of the ship. Truthfully I'm not sure if there really was a ship there or if it was my own wishes personified in my semi delirious state. The hope of there being other people rang throughout my flesh and bones. I knew then that if I wanted to live long enough to be rescued I would have to find nourishment for my body's demands. I turned away from that distant hope and walked into that dense green foliage. I ate what looked to be edible despite not knowing if any of it was. Some of it tasted amazing while for others the rind sent worse signals throughout my tongue. A select few affected my body in ways I never knew it could be. One sent a euphoric feeling through my skin briefly allowing me to feel life. I can only describe it as knowing the truth of meaning and life only to forget it when it wears off. Another immediately caused me to empty my stomach through projectile vomiting. It left me empty and without strength lying on the dirt covered floor. I approached a clearing and walked out to find a hole dug long ago. I walked over to that hole and found the bones of someone long dead. The clothes that must have once covered its body had been turned to dust by time leaving the bare frame. Its spine was crushed while leaving the entirety of the two halves virtually untouched. I leaped down and sat next to the two halves. The ground had no vegetation showing that life had no desire to be down here. I looked above and saw a hole in the canopy through which the orange sky shown through. I pulled out my diary and started writing while there was still light in the sky.

Sweet Minds
"No one can see it, some can feel it, and only the few can use it. We belong to the few." Marith Merryfield felt anything but merry that morning. She found herself waiting for a delayed train on a deserted platform, in the freezing cold of the Dutch autumn. Just when the strangeness is making her consider turning around and going back home an empty train rolls into the station. For reasons unclear to this day she decides to get onboard. An unlikely, and quite impossible, train accident is about to hurtle her into a world she had always suspected existed. It was a dark and absurd place she had rejected and suppressed when she was young. Now she would need that dormant part of herself to survive. After a brief hospitalization she must choose between two continents and finds herself reluctantly boarding a plane to Oregon to be reunited with her shadows. She returns to the town she grew up in, which is where her father still lives and her childhood memories linger. By the end of the week the mysterious train accident turns out to be the least of her problems. Her life was never supposed to become this serious this fast. Through an improbable and unfortunate series of events she is soon introduced to a motley crew of characters that appear to be carrying the same struggles through life. They possess a familiar sense of inadequacy and insecurity. Marith realizes that for the first time in her life she has found herself a tribe, or, as they prefer to call it, a Chain. She is introduced to a world of Prophets, Runners and Mages led by an Oracle and a Watchmaker. Over the course of several weeks Marith learns that, together with her Chain, she is expected to save this fabric of reality, by fighting a mysterious and immortal creature and his aggressive pet. In order to have a chance at overcoming this force of nature she has to revisit the darkest and most desolate corners of her mind. ***** The total word count of the first 12 chapters amounts to about 85.000 words. The total word count of the first 30 chapters will amount to about 225.000 words. My chapters range, roughly, from 5.000 to 10.000 words. I post with irregular intervals, on random days and at different times. I hope you will enjoy the story! English is not my first language and I am very much open to constructive criticism. Disclaimer: I regularly use impressionistic or abstract language on purpuse, when I think it might benefit the story.

My eyes traced the movement of his pen, following each line he drew onto the paper. "Your tea." I snapped out of my trance and looked up, thanking Katy before she went back to the counter. I turned back and caught him looking at me. I expected him to look away and continue acting like I don't exist. Like he's always done and so have I.What I didn't expect was for him to walk right over and sit with me."Hi, I'm Carter."PSA: This story is inspired by the Wattpad novel 'Caffeine' by @meddlingkids ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
