The Best Day I Ever Had
~
Everyday for years that old alarm clock bothered me
But I always respected that it did so dutifully
That ringing was the only voice I heard at home alone
I hated it but loved it for the loyalty it’s shown
So when it woke me up today and I sat up in bed
And everything felt out of place, I held my cloudy head
The ringing of the clock and even my bed sheets were wrong
Everything around me seemed like it didn’t belong
I wrote it off as nerves, or maybe age was catching me
A shadow in my eye that I could only sometimes see
I went to work as always, where I knew I’d feel the same
The stress it caused me burned like an undying, steady flame
I walked passed the reception with a greeting as always
She didn’t greet me back, it must just be one of those days
Was she wearing black today? Well, it’s not my concern
I used to ask her things, but I was very quick to learn
I grabbed a cup of coffee when I saw the pot was free
I hated drinking while my coworkers all stared at me
Today they didn’t seem to mind my presence there too much
I didn’t quite fit in there, and they treated me as such
The coffee tasted worse than normal but I didn’t mind
Even the person next to my desk seemed a bit more kind
I must have missed a meeting though, some new workers were there
It seemed I hadn’t been let go, but that gave me a scare
Why was one dressed all in black, I guess it’s just in style
I tended to lose touch of what was trending for a while

Despite the rocky start, I felt my day had gone quite well
Tomorrow might not be as nice as that, but who could tell
I left the building, but the secretary seemed busy
I didn’t say hello because I felt a bit dizzy
I thought I’d take the elevator, though I never did
That was where you’d mostly likely meet the manager’s kid
Luckily I had it to myself this time around
I held my head while waiting it to take me to the ground
But when the doors did open, something took away my breath
I hadn’t seen it before, but I knew that it was death
A shadow-like existence draped in robes as old as time
Made me want to start confessing every lie and crime
But it just looked at me in silence while I stood in fear
How much time had passed, was it a minute or a year?
“I couldn’t find you at your home, you died but didn’t know
You wandered through your day like normal, no one saw you though
I almost didn’t notice you were dead when I saw you
In life and death, there was no difference in the things you do”
The fear began to drain from me, with every feeling too
“The shadows that I saw today, they all must have been you
Why come to collect me after such a pleasant day
I wish I could have lived my whole life like this, go away”
Death stood in the elevator door without a word
But then a long and solemn, fateful whisper could be heard
“To love the hell you lived in and desire it once you’ve died
I couldn’t choose a better hell for someone if I tried”

Eater
A world much like our own, where women are gifted with power beyond any man. A land stained by war, where the servants of the great darkness pillage without restraint, stopped only by strong walls and sharp steel. A prison, meant to hold the horrors of the universe in place, watched over by the men from the great beyond. The Eaters. Eat well. Be well.
8 246The Cursed Imperial Heart
In a world divided into different social classes, a nameless girl starts her journey rather tiring than most kids. Abandoned by her parents, she became a servant at a very young age to a wealthy noble family--the Brotillon, a family of powerful water elementals. Whose head is a well known Viscount. Though the girl was born with shiny brown hair and sparkling brown eyes, it was for that reason that she became a laughing stock to those around her. With no one to turn to for support, she swore to learn how to use magic no matter what! But as each day goes by, the beatings and humiliation got worse and worse. Finally had enough, she lashed out screaming! Done with the world she lived in! Done with her life! Only to faint out of exhaustion afterwards. Upon opening her eyes, she expected nothing more than an empty room with no one inside but her. However, it was the opposite! A room full off doctors and worried faces?! Indeed, she must have hit her head so hard when she fainted! She's probably just hallucinating, right?! But to her shock, it was all real! The Viscount who constantly beat her, patted her on the head?! The mistress who ridiculed her every chance she got, was worried?! Not just that, but----CRYING?! This continued for the next few weeks, and it looked like the 'situation' won't be stopping anytime soon. But she of all people knew, that it was all an act. But the question is, why? She screamed and lashed out at them, so why? Or perhaps, what she really needs to be asking are.... What REALLY happened before she fainted? What are they hiding from her? And lastly, Why are they suddenly interested in her eyes?

The struggle for an interesting game has been the story of my life for quite some time. Every game I find is either too easy, not interesting or too short. Luckily, my two brothers who match my level of skill, albeit in different areas, tend to spice things up. When I look at my older brother I have no idea how he gets anything done when he's such an idiot. Still it doesn't detract from my respect for him as a gamer, though maybe a little. When I look at my younger brother I marvel at the monster that my older brother and I created. Deadliness, craftiness and quiet, both in what he does and how he is. When it's just us three we tend to destory everything in our path. So normally we tend to compete rather than team. Although that isn't to say we're just good as individuals. When we work together our effectiveness multiplies rather than lowering. Well enough about us dorks. Anyway a new VR game came out, apparently in development for quite some time. Of course my older brother decided to drive out and buy three copies. What would this one be missing? Difficulty? Depth? Length? In any case I plan to reach the top before my brothers do. It was a competition after all. Twoen had all three things I normally yearn for in spades. Something I did not foresee. A keeper
