《Crazy》43: Grave
Advertisement
Drew tried to put the blindfold back on me but I refused to let him touch me.
I placed it back on myself.
We had been driving for who knows how long.
I feel the car come to a stop and I immediately rip the blindfold off.
I look out only to see that we're not outside my house. We're not even close.
We're at a cemetery.
Why did he bring me to a cemetery? I told him to take me home.
"Why am I here?" I bit out.
"I need to show you something." He gets out and opens the door for me.
"I told you to take me home." I was so damn close to going off on him.
"I know. But I think you should see this first."
He walked away and I followed him because honestly a cemetery is scary at night.
"Where are you taking me?" I asked him in a loud whisper. As if these people could hear me.
"His name was, Joseph Clemens." Is he talking about the boy from the party?
"He was the first. I don't know what came over me that night. I've been filled with guilt and regret over my actions when it came to him."
I didn't want to speak up, mostly because I didn't know what to say.
"After that night, I looked at every news outlet to find out what his name was. Then when I found the article I searched him up on every social media platform. I made sure to get to know him as much as I could, through his posts."
I wanted to cry but I was drained and all I could do was frown.
"Then soon after his mom posted on his profile. It was a fund to pay for his funeral. Now before I continue, I'm not saying this because I feel like I have to. I was planning on telling you all this tonight. You remembering what happened...I didn't think that would happen until later tonight."

I nodded my head just wanting to hear the rest of the story.
"I wanted your father to pay me as soon as possible because the fund page had a deadline. As soon as your dad gave me the money...I donated half of it to them." He stopped in front of a huge and beautiful head stone.
"His family wanted to meet with me. They wanted to return some of the money. I refused and told them all I wanted in return was for them to get him the best head stone and to remember that he was a hero."
He was a hero.
My Hero.
"I try to visit him at least every week. Maybe it's fucked up but it keeps me sane. And I know I don't even deserve that, not after what I did."
I saw two bouquets of flowers and some candy.
"I stopped by yesterday." He crouches down and fixes a bouquet and the candy.
When he does so I can see something written down low.
A loving son, amazing brother, and everyone's hero.
Wow.
"You're going to want to sit down for the rest of what I'm going to tell you."
There was a bench behind us that was facing his grave.
"Alright, tell me everything. Starting with why you kidnapped me."
;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;
Oml. I'm supposed to be at school today. But instead I'm hereeeee.
So you're going to find out the truth very soon.
Any guesses on what it is or why he kidnapped her?

Cosmic Bulldozing Team
"Welcome to the Cosmic Bulldozing Team! CBT for short... references to any other acronyms are purely coincidental." Breve has one exceptional gift: an inborn potential for Resurrection magic. The cost? Every other healing spell she casts is absolutely paltry in comparison to the rest of her race, making her family outcasts within her society. That potential alone, however, classes Breve as a Rank A Healer. By what metric? Well, by the crazy elf lady who’s about to destroy her planet. Wait, what? Here's the low-down: her planet has been targeted by the Cosmic Bulldozing Team, which, as their name suggests, operates in the apparently lucrative business of destroying planets. This comes with the unfortunate side-effect of also murdering everyone who lives there. And Breve would’ve been killed, too, if she hasn’t unintentionally passed their audition for a new healer. Unwillingly saved by the people who just annihilated everything Breve ever knew and loved, she’s dragged into a massive spaceship before, without a moment’s reprieve, being assigned missions to sally forth and commit the same atrocities on other planets. And with Breve's home lying in a pile of celestial bedrock, it seems that cooperating is the only option. And she will cooperate, or so help her, they'll send her back whence she came: into the void of space, where the smashed rubble of her planet now drifts along. "Buckle in, rookie: you've got some planetary destruction ahead of you." (Updates every 2 days.)

Keepers of the Neeft
The Indigo Empire has conquered half the world’s nations, their people, and their gods. According to its citizens, old and new, the rest of the world will follow. In the capital of the Throne-home, the Imperial Academy produces the next generation of great leaders to drive that expansion. Cadryn Bence knows he will be one such leader, he’s overcome his common birth, mixed heritage, and every other obstacle to be the top of his class. He dreams of glory on the southern front against the Gravanik States. He will not be finding it. Instead, if the glory he expects. Far to the north, lies the unassumingly named North-Eastern Extreme Frontier Tower, a backwater post if ever there were one. Through the machinations of the Emperor’s state religion, and a cult within it, Cadryn will find himself on his way to this first assignment. On the frontier, Cadryn will discover that neither his campions, nor the Neeft itself, are what he expects. Follow Cadryn on his journey to discover many truths: about himself, about the Empire, and about the very world he call home. ****** Keepers of the Neeft is a (bit dark) fantasy story revolving around Cadryn and his journey of discovery. There’s a fairly wide cast of supporting characters (his fellow Keepers) all with their own reasons and motivations behind how they came to be at the Neeft. Current release plan is to have part 2 completed, then fully edit up till the end of part 2. I am in the process of editing the earlier content as I complete the updates/re-writes. Apologies for any rough content in the meantime. My primary objective with Keepers of the Neeft is to work on developing content flow and establishing a community of people who enjoy my writing style. I write SF/F and horror as my primary genres, Keepers is actually my 3rd novel length work, but my current project. Updates of new Content will currently be in the form of one larger post on Tuesdays.
