Vote and comment♥
woke up to a cold breeze coming from my open window. I know that I haven't opened it ever since it started getting cold, so that can only mean that I've got another letter. Or that someone was in my room, someone that isn't him. I took the dahlia that was on top of the flower, as usual, and opened the royal 'AT' seal.
'Dearest Dahlia,
I hope you're enjoying your life without me. I have been quite lonely around the castle- it's quite odd how it seems even lonelier after I've found you. It's already fall, the weather has been getting colder and colder, so I've sent you this winter jacket and a few sweaters so you wouldn't be so cold. I hope you'll wear them and get over your pride for your own health. But every time it gets colder, I get happier because I know that I'm one step closer to you. On your 18th Birthday, I will have to take you home. I am sorry that I will be doing so, but it truly is hell living without you.
The one you must hate,
Alexander
-23rd November, 3044'
If he cares about me being alive and healthy, why did he leave the fricking window wide open?
Jackass.
I got up and closed the window, but not before glaring into the woods.
What? Maybe he's in there somewhere.
Creep.
My room always smells like his perfume when I get another letter. He probably sprays perfume on the way out! I always smell like expensive male perfume when I wake up from my sleep because of him.
At least he doesn't pee on me. I heard that that's what some creepy werewolves do when they find their mates and they don't live together.

Ew, ew, ew, EW! He's not peeing on me anytime soon!
The drunk me from the ball would be screaming 'You aren't peeing on me anytime soon!' through the window, like some maniac.
Drunk me is a maniac.
I call her Patricia.
The problem is that the only true difference between Patricia and I is that Patricia voices out my thoughts, whereas I choose to keep them to myself.
I looked back at the window and glared out in the woods some more, before snuggling into the now cold bed.
I kinda like his scent.

My Girlfriend, the Necromancer
The power of the Orb cleaves the skies and shatters the earth. It heralds the advent of a new era, one where humanity is no longer at the top of the food chain and we must rise to the challenge when faced with our own extinction as a species. I could hardly care less. All I ever wanted was to love my Allie, to grow old and wrinkly by her side as I held her hand before taking my last breath on this green earth. To have our love echo through the ages, an ode to the last great love story on the planet, one that would endure the end of humanity, the breaking of the world, and even defy the dread summons of Death itself. It’s said that when the gods unleash their fury upon mortal kind, they grant their wishes. Well, crap. This is a gritty end of the world survival story with modern fantasy/romance/game-like elements in it. The main focus will be character development while stats and menus are there as a fun vehicle to empower the imagination. This is a work in progress and I deeply appreciate any helpful suggestions, so please don't be shy with input! Currently posting at least one chapter per week.

Slime of Gluttony
_____ ___, a completely and utterly deplorable person. Lazy, apathetic, and unmotivated. He spends his time as a shut-in, wasting his life away doing nothing of importance. This is the life of the man, a life of no importance. At the impulse of desiring food, he left his small and cramped apartment. Regretting his actions immediately, he was left with the prospect of a complete panic attack due to the numerous amount of people outside at that day. However, he pressed on, determined to find some sort of delicious food to consume. Life had other plans for him. He gets hit by a car, and after hearing strange words from an even stranger voice, he dies. However, minutes, hours, maybe even days later, he awakes, his senses of smell, sight, and hearing robbed of him. Author's Note: This is my first story on Royal Road, so it might not be the best. Although, I hope you enjoy! I'll probably write around 2000 words or more per chapter, but on average a bit more. If you're wondering, the cover art is drawn by me, just in case you thought I wasn't giving credit to the creator.This story might often times lean more into the comedy side of things, but stuff can still get pretty serious at times, especially in the later chapters. The story isn't super dark or anything, but character death is of course going to be a thing. Who? Well, you'll find out, eventually. Also, I'll upload chapters on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I hope you enjoy reading this little hobby of mine!
