《Philosophers corner》Momento: Realization

[redacted]
You told me to write some things down and I’ve been pretty negligent until I got laid off this past Monday. My minds racing with the future and that’s good right? The one dominating worry for my life is just confusing, I’ve spent 3 years at a job that’s slowly pulled my sanity back and left my brain to moisten and bloat in our lovely rain clouds, but I feel as if nothing but good words, less than a pat on my back and a packet with next to useless information has transpired. I met some nice people and some less than friendly folk but if I’m being honest, none of these people will text me or call me without my own effort, and we’ve already talked about that haven’t we? The only accomplishment I’ve had in the last 3 years was literally just staying alive, eating, sleeping, fucking and trying to have as many good laughs as I can while I slowly ebb and weave through the notion and selfish thought process of driving off the highway bridge damn near every drive home (the ride home was too short when I lived in —— for 2020). Regardless, I think I still want to live. This.. what you keep referring to as my depression is just the nastiest ugliest bitch of a pit of despair I will personally never have the mind to climb out of. I’ve been, what I call surviving since I was 6 and that’s still the only thing that rattles my brain the only reason I get up just to starve myself until about 2-3 in the morning when I’m dizzy and sick from under eating on the worst weeks.

Night Terror
Story is currently 'on hold' for an indefinite period of time - I will eventually post the whole thing when it's complete, see the news post for more details. After dying young, a man reincarnates into a new world as Abe Haruki. 'This whole world is suspicious...' Despite the fact that Haruki had never once met a god, even during his reincarnation, he couldn't help feeling that this world was just too... Intelligently designed? I mean, seriously... Levels? Classes? Stats? Items? You can even level up your abilities! 'Definitely suspicious...' Unfortunately, the Church have been keeping close tabs on him from the shadows. They've heard rumours of a boy, born with a golden ring. With magical affinities that defy logic. Darkness and light energies destroy each other, violently, so how does he have the affinity for both? Can Haruki live his peaceful life along side childhood friend Suzu? Or will they fall to the coming darkness? ::Author's note:: While there are stats and exp etc, it's not LitRPG. They are there, but not the focus in any way. The world is more hardcore - A human is soft, so a pierced lung should eventually kill them. Even though they have a small pool of HP, a single deadly blow can end it all. If you ever want to say G'day, I'm in the discord chat every now and then, so feel free to join the madness ;) Thanks for reading
8 100Thousand Tales: Learning To Fly
Wings, Immortality, and a War of Trolls When aging pilot Andre nearly dies in an airplane accident, he decides it's time to upload. He has his brain removed and scanned into Thousand Tales, a game where ordinary players compete with the AIs and former humans who live inside it. He takes full advantage of his new digital life, becoming a high-flying pegasus and learning the magic of the sky. He's just in time for a strange little war. The digital world seems overly cute at first, but there's more going on than people leveling up. Spells and transformation are easy in this world, but building a society isn't. Can Andre fight in a way that will get his virtual land taken seriously, and equip his new friends to make a difference in the world of humans?

8 176Lear County Outlook
Based on true events in my life. Think of these stories as H P Lovecraft meets Rob Zombie. Each story has pieces, confessions, from the rural decay of Appalachia wrapped in horror and madness. All are set in the fictional county of Lear, which is a dark mirror held up to surface, idealized countryside. Blood and familial ties bind deep in a hopeless and rotted south. Tales are whispered of Hill Witches and Demons. Shunned communities molder. All these truths are hidden in the stories of deceit and lies. The first arc revolves around theft and exploitation at one of the last factories of Lear County. Abuse of power draws all down the path of madness.
