《Laughing Jack X Reader》Chapter 9

I could barely sleep.. I tossed and turned all night, trying everything I could to fall asleep. Counting sheep, day dreaming, deep breaths. Anything that would tire me out, but no luck.
Ash fell asleep fine, guess he would being as he has nothing to worry about. I'm so terrified about that clown and the worse part is, I have no one to turn to about it. Can't bring it up to Ash again as he already thinks I'm crazy..
Getting out of bed and desperately trying not to wake up Ash as he snored peacefully, I tiptoe to my door. When I was younger my mother always said that warm milk would send anybody to sleep no matter their age. So, what's the harm in trying again now.
I slowly pull open my door and step outside of my room, shutting it carefully behind me. I turn around but instantly freeze as I stare down the hall. Within the pitch black I see two red bright dots staring at me from down the hall by the stairs. My breathing becomes heavier and heavier the more they stare at me. Blindly shuffling my hands around the wall, I find the light switch and quickly turn it on. Only for the red dots to disappear, leaving the hall completely empty with nothing there. Turning the light back off once again as to not wake Ash. The red dots still being gone.
"Come on [Name], stop being so stupid you're scaring yourself! So paranoid"
I whisper to myself as I quietly make my way down the hall and downstairs to the kitchen. Turning on the light once I feel the cold tiles beneath my feet. Heading to the fridge and grabbing the milk, I glance to the microwave that sits next to it with reflective glass. Two red lights stain the middle of the glass. I instantly feel my heart race again, quickly spinning around. Nothing was there. Realising I was being stupid and the red lights were just the oven mechanics opposite, I try to calm myself and hurry to make the milk so I can go back to bed.

Pouring the milk into a pan, I gently set it on the hob and fire up the gass. Sticking it on a low-medium heat to steadily and safely warm up the milk.
Now we wait..
I begin to quietly hum to myself - a song my mother used to sing to me when I was younger. It always used to help me when I was sad or angry or scared. It always seemed to calm me.
"Listen my sweet daarrliiing. Youuu'lll be okaaay. You're strooong and you're smarrrt .. dooont be afraaaid.. I'll keeeeep you waarrm and I'll keeep you saaafe. Your hooome is here.. your hooome is meee.."
I break from humming into quiet singing as I close my eyes. Thinking of my mother's beautiful face and angelic voice.
"Wow, nice song"
A voice suddenly speaks causing me to scream and shoot my eyes open. Only to see Ash walking towards me but freezing at my scream.
"WOAH! Woah [Name]! It's me it's me! Jeez!"
He reassured me raising his arms in surrender. Staying in his spot till I calm down. My breathing at a pant.
"[Name], I love you but you've gotta learn to chill and-"
He was interrupted by 2 long black and white spikes coming shooting through his eyes from the back of his head. A third spike coming through his neck and out his mouth. Blood gushing down as he gargles, spits and choked, his body going limp.
"ASH! NO!!"
I scream his name at the top of my lungs and back up into the corner as the spikes are yanked out, his body falling to the floor. Revealing the Clown with a blood soaked hand, red glowing eyes and an evil grin.

Cultivation Chat Group
One day, Song Shuhang was suddenly added to a chat group with many seniors that suffered from chuuni disease. The people inside the group would call each other ‘Fellow Daoist’ and had all different kinds of titles: Palace Master, Cave Lord, True Monarch, Immortal Master, etc. And even the pet of the founder of the group that had run away from home was called ‘monster dog’. They would talk all day about pill refining, exploring ancient ruins, or share their experience on techniques.However, after lurking inside the group for a while, he discovered that not all was what it seemed…
8 771In Pursuit of Glory
I felt a huge physical force slam into my back. I didn't have any time to think as I rocketed into the wall and felt the drywall dent beneath my body. Eyes wide, I groaned and began to push off the wall when, unceasingly relentless, my assailant backstabbed me with a knife to my gut. I gasped; being stabbed there is no laughing matter. Even today, with all the advances of science, a wound like that can easily be mortal. Most likely would be. I gasped for air with a snarl, funneling the wind into my lungs to help them expand after being pancaked into the wall. Nobody f***ing backstabs me and gets away with it. If there’s one thing you should know about me, it’s that I love being alive. I love it more than anything else. It’s something only a dead person can understand, and I feel myself forgetting all the time. But there’s a secret to death, and I keep it with me. Always. It’s never permanent, it’s never peaceful, and it’s always filled with regrets. But death, despite all of its shortfalls, can give a short respite from life, like a comfy afternoon nap. Death is Respite. It’s a rest for the weary. And to all those people who wander in death lonesome and regretting their broken lives - always, without fail, cut too short - I beg them to take advantage of it. I tell everyone to take advantage of death, even when I can’t bring myself to do so. --- Ciaran travels the world in pursuit of Glories, unfathomable, power-bestowing balls of golden light sequestered in difficult-to-reach places. A fun fantasy romp with a character with an unorthodox narrative voice trying to find his purpose in the world.

We are who we choose to be. Regardless of circumstances. Break Neck Ally is a story about friendship, love and kindness... except its not. Azizi, our protagonist, will go through hell as he searches for himself. Find out more in this sick story. Also, those who read my other fiction, One Step At A Time, will be quite familiar with some of the world building in Break Neck Alley. They are both set in a sci fi universe where mankind somehow managed to create an entire continent! Note: This is a work of fiction and all of its characters, places, scenes and themes are completely imaginary.
8 186Resistance is Futile
Resistance is Futile 2336 G-L32 is my title. I go G’ell though, pronounce it how you like, it doesn’t matter. I was born, like the rest of the human race this era, with my abilities. I can manipulate the world around me, using the Strand to do it, looks like the old telekinesis “superpowers” the old humans used to entertain themselves with. As of only recently, within the last 20 years, the Ul’Katoin ripped open space to take our planets. However, they didn’t expect our resistance. They are stronger than us, faster, and far, far more adaptable and enduring. Humanity however, can use technology. Wherever they lay their roots, we burn them away with plasma and radiation. But where we lay down our foundations in their world, they snuff out our light with their vines and tendrils. And with The Jhar Empyrean and other space-faring empires keeping their borders tight, we have nowhere else to expand to. Humanity finds a way, and our soldiers will bring the fury of a Nebulean storm upon the Hellscape the Ul’Katoin call home. And I am one of those soldiers.
