《Free Your Mind》Chapter Fourteen: Gaslight
Advertisement
Did it ever happen, it's never truly clear. The fog surrounding all the events that happened here. Branded deep within your mind, the markings and their pain surging through. Yet he still makes you doubt, the nightmare he put you through.
The confusion begins to set in, and sweet lies he's whispering in your ears. The scuff marks of your mind are now hiding away, he'll gaslight each day. You're never really mentally there, your memories become your uncertainties. The scars start to cover up, he'll gaslight you up.
Even through this never-ending madness however, you still hear a faint voice, a reminder of the past. Of the memories that torment you, telling you that it's all really real. Telling you that you're not crazy, that what you felt was reality.
But confusion continues to cloud your mind, and whispers continue to deafen your logic. The scuffs now hid away, gaslighting each day. Your mind is never clear, your memories become your uncertainties. The scars all covered up, he's gaslighting you up.
The questions that fill your mind, they're only meant to throw you off his trail. But don't let him distract you, you mustn't let him prevail. For no matter the amount of denying, nor the number of strings he's pulled, history of your past will forever remain. The outside may not see it, but your mind remains unstable. All you plead is for some clarity, a fleeting moment of defined truth.
Still the confusion lingers near, the sweet lies whispered continue to block out the truth. The scuff marks remain covered up, he's gaslit you up. You're mentally burnt out from it all, the memories now stay uncertain. Your scars he forced to be covered up, he's gaslit you up.

Beast
A threat to the galaxy has come from another, and the Union of intelligent life will go to any length to stop it. Military Quarantine has held for hundreds of thousands of cycles. Traders, merchants, colonists, and Pirates live risky lives along the fringes as the politics from the inner systems fail to see the larger threats beyond their borders. A lone human finds himself far from home with no memories to how he arrived. A failing Trade vessel plays on a desperate gamble, while a malicious parasite searches for a suitable host. ............................................. Author's note: Beast is a story that I wrote a long, long time ago. Some of you might have read it then, back when it was posted on reddit over at r/HFY. It was my first webfiction and made in the spirit of that subreddit's "genre" of humanity being awesome. But, it is also a story that has bothered me a little bit. Just like most new writers tend to do, I made mistakes and errors that feel painful to reread. A Space Opera will be a Space Opera, but I had prose that makes present-me cringe. Still, at the same time, the story is still very much a tale I've never given up on. It was my first adventure into fiction: Beast was a crazy adventure with bodysnatching aliens, galactic war, threats from across the universe... Posting this story here is a way to try and redeem myself a bit. I won't call it a complete rewrite, because it's not, but I have wanted to go through and correct some of the major issues Beast has for a long time and put it somewhere more accessible to read (instead of as posts/comments on reddit) and I figure that now is as good a time as any. Additional corrections you might notice are welcome.

ARROGANCE | m.yg
❝Where there's music there can be love.❞ Ah Rin is an underground rapper going by the name Silver. If one word must be used to describe Silver, it's tough. She always speaks her mind and she's never afraid to say exactly what she means. As much as Rin loves being a rapper, it has its downsides. Few male rappers ever take her seriously, and people who do often wonder why a twenty-two-year-old girl isn't in college trying to further herself. Those who do recognize her talent will encourage her to join an entertainment company, but that's the worst comment of all, and she'll argue it for hours. One fateful day Rin is preparing for a music festival. As she's up on stage, she sees a sorely familiar face in the crowd. He once went by Gloss, but he doesn't anymore. In fact, he's hardly the same person now than he was then. And as much as Yoongi isn't Gloss, Rin isn't Silver either. ↻ KANGYOUNGHYUNS 2019 | 2/4 of the bangtan series
