《Solitude's Requiem》Finding Something
Advertisement
How much time has passed, Honestly I don't know anymore. In a place where only darkness resides, you easily lose track of time. I've noticed some things through what I can only presume are years now. While the place is dark, I've noticed that my eyesight in this darkness has improved. The landscape is changing, and I'm definitely making ground. Let's just hope that this place does actually have an end.
“Oh? What's that?”
What I see before me, is a stone tablet on some sort of stained rock. It has some language on it that I can't read, but it's a sign of something at least.
“What are you supposed to be?” I ask in a calm tone. Suddenly, something appears in front of my eyes.
[Stone Tablet]
[Unidentified Runes]
[Sacrificial Rock]
Well, these descriptions fit the bill. It also seems that I might have gained some type of abilities that I'm not aware of. I would be surprised but after walking around for so long without feeding, drinking, or taking proper rest. Let's just say that I had my suspicions that something might be wrong.
If I focus on any of these descriptions, would something change? “It's not like I have anything better to do.” At first, I tried putting all my attention on the description Stone Tablet and see if something would happen. After 5 minutes of uncomfortably squinting and looking like an absolute fool, I decided to restrategize.
I look at the rock and ask myself. 'What does this mean' and right when I finish having these thoughts, something new appeared.
[Stone Tablet]: this Tablet has been made in the material called stone.
“.....”
“ You know what. Let's just check the other descriptions”
[Sacrificial Rock]: This rock has been used as an altar for sacrifice. The culture of the people who instigated this activity is unknown.

“Okay, that's at least something, I guess. Now for the last one.”
[Unidentified Runes]: These Runes are written in an unfamiliar language. It still contains magical capabilities. Consequences of trying to learn these types of magic are unknown.
“Wait, so I Can learn magic? How am I supposed to do that?”
Let's look around for a bit. So you have this rock with what I can only presume is blood. Considering, it is called a [sacrificial rock]. As I start investigating the rock, I notice something. The backside of this rock has been carved into something sharp, and there is a hole in the tablet that has a suspicious amount of old blood.
“….”
“Screw it”
I cut my hand on the sharp carving and squeeze it above the hole in the stone tablet.
Blood flows in the hole.
“Now is something supposed to hap…”
These are the last words I said before I lose consciousness.

Almost a Good Person
A memory, a memory of a boy who wanted more than pain, of a girl who wanted more than death, and an Isle that should not exist. The Isle of Red is a small, unassuming, quiet place. It is just large enough for a college, a small town, and maybe even a few more unusual sorts of places. Of course, the townsfolk practically know each other as family. Flush-faced regulars can be found toasting just about anything in the Briar's Brew, then, a few streets away, the same haggle of older women stationed themselves on their perch as they did every day from one of the few balconies in Central Square. They fuss away now, spouting the usual gossip as they watch us all from on high. Then there is the College here on the Isle of Red. My college. It has been often described as an unusual place by a good deal of people on the mainland. If they only would visit -why I am sure they'll soon have a change of heart, they may even come to find it a quaint sort of place, odd but in the same way a tattered old quilt can be both odd looking and warm, and especially soft. We teach mostly the same sort of disciplines here, with fantastic and absolutely normal professors.I must conclude that I am quite smitten with myself. The stage is set with a level of perfection that would have astonished me in my youth. They are coming. Derek will follow her. He knows the weight of reality too intimately, but she will be his true north if only for a short time. A beacon in the storm to show him the stunning pastels and brightness the sun may yet refract through his thinner, sharper pieces. Theoline will lead as she always has- well not always, not yet. She holds onto questions feverishly tight, that one. Lights them up inside like a new type of fuel without the slightest worry of being burned. She knows... There is but a certain few who can look at a map and find nothing where I stand but the Atlantic Ocean. And still, there is earth beneath me, a noisy pub down the road from me, and several people clucking conspiratorially on a balcony above me. She knows... that the Isle of Red doesn't belong here. Neither, technically, do I. (Hello! Chapters will be posted regularly on this website and also at Booksie: Almost a Good Person, book by KenjaminButton (booksie.com)Stay tuned for Chapter 3 to be uploaded on 5/28/2022!)
