《Time Can't Heal This》Ghosts In The Attic
Advertisement
I remember talking to the ghosts up in the attic.
You always said you felt an evil presence in the static.
But I always felt like they had my back.
Maybe they really did and that's why you felt like that.
They witnessed all of our fights
and the way you made me cry every single night.
And when you moved out,
they were all I had to talk to.
'Cause when you left,
you took my best friend with you.
So I made friends with the spirits in the attic;
And I'm pretty sure they were relieved when you didn't come back.
Even though they could tell that it was killing me inside.
When I couldn't take the pain anymore
They watched me break down on the bedroom floor,
Begging god to take my life.
You said they were evil but they comforted me.
I was never afraid of that house,
Even though everyone said that I should be.
I never felt alone even when I was at my loneliest.
I felt like I was actually alive.
Even though that house was where our marriage finally died.
It's hard to explain in a way that makes sense.
I found my weakness and I found my strength.
I thought my life was over
And then I realized that it might've just began.
That house was bittersweet to me and those ghosts were my only company.
I'd give up the life that I built for myself now,
To be able to go back and talk to them somehow.
You always said that there was something evil living inside of that house.
But they were the only friends that I had when you moved out.
Maybe it wasn't the ghosts in the attic
that made you feel like that house could never be your home.
Maybe it wasn't their existence that was evil,
Maybe it was your own.

Berserker- Crank Wars
Nearly 500 years have passed since the so-called apocalypse where souls dominated their control over the human vessels and grew into fierce monsters. A small frail kid saved humanity from getting wiped out of the face of the earth through his strangely powerful and unique techniques and taught them to the humans that followed him. He became a legend and humans developed special powers called cranks from his teachings. Humans couldn't procreate anymore. A very few thousands of last generation humans that remained or stayed alive by becaming crankers now constitutes the only humanity left on the planet. And they should continue to keep levelling up their cranks by slaying monsters and siphoning their souls to stay immortal and most of them tend to form teams to increase their odds. Everything was wrist-slittingly boring like that until one of those teams went ahead and mistakenly awakened the legend kid from his deep, and sound slumber. --------- One Chapter @Everyday -------------------- Unfortunately, I don't own the cover. I found it on Pinterest. And edited it a little.

The Fracture
It was a normal day for the inhabitants of ERT-5901, more commonly known by the populace as Earth. A beautiful planet with lush resources and fertile land, well at one point anyways. Children were born, the elderly died, and Man was as corrupt as ever. But hey, what can you do about that? Can’t change human nature… But that's not the point. Basically the planet was peaceful, for the most part. Certainly they were better off than the species on FTL-3470… We don’t talk about them. Better to leave that book unopened. Anyways, that was all until January 5th of the year 2025. When the sky broke. Fractured. Stunning ocean blue cracks were spotted in the sky all over the planet. A spiders web of cracks and crevices littered the blue skies, tearing all that global peace to shreds. All while Wyatt Walker, a sad example of a human being, was black out drunk in a bar somewhere in LA. This is a post-apocalyptic, portal isekai, high fantasy kind of story set on our very own green Earth! The world has fractured, broken. The inhabitants of ERT-5901 are in for quite the quick and dramatic change in their way of life. Murder, theft, and death have become the norm. Survival of the fittest to the extreme. If you can’t keep up, then good luck playing the game. Hello, Kaiser here! I am the author of this lovely story and I would just like to put a few disclaimers down here. First, English is, in fact, my first language. This by no means I will have perfect grammar and there are bound to be spelling mistakes (please forgive me) and places where I accidentally put plot holes. If you find anything, I would appreciate it if you could let me know so I can fix / change it. I also welcome any constructive criticism or opinions you might have about the story (doesn’t always mean I will change something). Second, I am by no means a professional writer here. Just a confused student who wanted to write something. So, uh, here's my story? Third, if you can’t handle any of the following I recommend you find a different story as I will by no means change any of these topics. [Gore, Profanity, Twisted themes, Dark scenes, and Death] If you’re a sensitive person or a queasy person I would highly recommend a different story. Fourth, I would like to write with freedom so I will by no means be lenient with my writing. I intend to write without mercy. Characters will die, bad things will happen, blood will be spilled, and humans will continue to be humans. I would like to write things as realistically as possible while still having that dash of fantasy. Not everything will be all dark and gloom, there will be happy and funny moments mixed! (Hopefully, not a lot of edge) Enjoy! ッ
