《Dying to be thin》Chapter 7
Advertisement
I lay in bed reminiscing over what happened today. Mason was just what I needed, maybe he had Facebook, mum still wasn't back from work for another half an hour, maybe I could reactivate just to check? For the first time in forever I hadn't made myself sick for a whole day, I hadn't even thought about food at all. I ate an apple and kept it down. This was a major step for me, did I deserve it? My fingers trembled as I typed in my e-mail and password. Finally I was on my news feed. One problem, I didn't know his last name. I typed in 'Mason' on the search bar and there was 5698 results, there was no way I was looking through all of them. I decided to see if Jodie had him as a friend, I remember him saying he chose sport as an option to study and Jodie had sport on Mondays. I went onto Jodie's profile and clicked on her friend list and typed in Mason. There he was 'Mason Harvey'. I decided to inbox him. He didn't reply, maybe he didn't know how to use Facebook properly yet. Ten minutes later he replied 'Hey, who was that girl you said you hated today?x' I freaked out, he put a kiss! I didn't put one first, he did. I was so happy, I responded 'Tamsin Williams, she's a stuck up rat haha x' I didn't think anything of it until five minutes later.
I got a notification 'Mason Harvey tagged you and two others in a status' oh no, what has he wrote, is it good? is it bad? I clicked the notification. 'Told you she wasn't so innocent Tamsin;) Glad you got rid of her Jodie! Fat liar she is!' followed by a screen shot of my message about Tamsin. How could he do this? I thought I found someone who I could trust, I couldn't even delete this because it was posted by him. There was fifteen minutes until mum was home, I watched the comments escalate for five minutes. 'Kill yourself.' 'She's such a fat attention seeker.' 'She's a useless whore.' why were they saying this about me? What had I done wrong? I deactivated once again.

I froze. My eyes filled up, I threw myself to the floor hitting myself for my own stupidity. How could I be so stupid? I knew I shouldn't have told him what I did. I'm such a mess. Why am I still here? My eyes were so puffy that I couldn't see past my own hand when it was held out in front of me. Is this really what my life has come to? Why was he being so nice to Jodie and Tamsin? What do they have that I don't? I needed to let my emotions out in a way other than crying, the only other way I know.
I pulled myself up off the ground and strolled distortedly to the bathroom. 'Kill yourself.' 'She's such a fat attention seeker.' 'She's a useless whore.' The words kept going round in my head, it was a vicious cycle. How long must this go on for before I can be gone forever? There was ten minutes until mum was home and I knew exactly what I was going to do with the time.

Dark Matter
In the year 2023, scientists investigating the nature of dark matter caused a blackout throughout the entire world of Coranth. With this blackout came the appearance of supernatural and near-magical elemental abilities able to be wielded by all. By harnessing the dark matter in the environment, even ordinary humans now accessed powers that would have been deemed fantasy. These abilities include Wind, Fire, Lightning, Water, and Terra, being the five natural elements of which dark matter is absorbed by the planet itself. Additionally, the two moons orbiting Coranth offer the "Superior" elements of Dark and Light. The year is now 2041, and Dark Matter will follow the story of an adolescent boy named Raiden Sullivan in a dystopian future, 16 years old, eldest of 2, and son to Marcus Sullivan. Raiden is an intelligent young man belonging to a poor family with an absentee mother. He partakes in daily chores to cover living expenses after school and his home life is surrounded by his caring father and younger sister. In truth, this is my take on urban fantasy with slight LitRPG that keeps the "magic" elements somewhat scientific for a more realistic story. In using the dark matter surrounding our universe, humans can now harness elemental abilities as well as absorb dark matter from the beasts/monsters to further strengthen their abilities. For the most part, that'll be the main premise of the power system. Full transparency, this will be the first story I write and also the first story I publish, so please be patient with me. For some context, I'm an avid reader and after 4 or so years of only consuming, I feel that it might be time to try my hand at writing instead. Please feel free to add your opinions and criticism, it would be much appreciated. With that said, I hope you enjoy Dark Matter!

Parallels
Parallels are a constant in life. Our friends' lives often run parallel to ours; we share similar experiences or tastes- perhaps even both. Sometimes, however, opposites attract- and our lives run perpendicular. In that case, we are not attracted by similarities; rather, we are attracted to the differences in others. So, what happens when two parallels are broken apart? What might happen to them? Are they forever doomed to run alongside each other, never seeing one another, never meeting? Or, perhaps, might they be spun about? Could these lines that formerly ran alongside one another meet? Could they possibly be set perpendicular? Any feedback is welcome, so long as it is constructive. Also, you may not use any characters, ideas, places, or what have you that I present here without my explicit permission. A note: This is a story which I began over a year ago, but never got around to finishing- it feels about time to really get it going. Now, there are a couple of things about the story, and myself, that need to be said. First and foremost, there's a slow start, but by the third-fourth chapter things should be speeding up a bit. Secondly, in regards to release speed and/or word count per chapter, I make no promises- my schedule is fairly random, and in regards to word count, I will cut off any chapter at any point that feels appropriate to me- that may include cliffhangers, if necessary. I'm not trying to reach a specific word count, I am trying to create a cohesive story, with pseudo-appropriate chapter breaks. This means I will also not rush a half-baked release for the sake of getting a release out. Thirdly, I will make any edits, anywhere in the story and at any time, that strike me as necessary- typically being wording and/or formatting changes, but I may also decide to change major plot points- in that case I would put a notification in the next chapter released. Finally, and most importantly, I am a Christian; this story is intended to at least moderately reflect those values. So, if you particularly dislike any of these things, feel free to look elsewhere, and don't let the door hit you on the way out. God bless, friends.
