Invisible
-inspired by the Edgar Allan Poe, Anabel Lee
“I heard… t-that if a ghost talks to you in a dream, be prepared to die,” I choked out at my dearly departed beloved.
Her ghostly cries echo past her lips, time stands still yet moves quickly. “What about a kiss?” She whispers far away, yet the words hit my ear.
I fall back in terror with tears down my face.
“It’s impossible…darling… You’re gone..!”
Suddenly, I feel an enveloped chill cut through my throat and melt into my whole body—-I feel like I’m floating and she whispers with a kiss:
“Try to write this feeling down, my poet lover…”

Factopia
Once upon a time, in a quaint town nestled between rolling hills and meandering rivers, there existed a place unlike any other – Factopia. It was a haven of knowledge, a sanctuary where the pursuit of truth reigned supreme. In Factopia, facts were not mere fragments of information; they were the building blocks of understanding, the threads that wove together the fabric of reality.

If the original poem is any indication, this is a "consummation devoutly to be wished" by the protagonist! Lovely! Here's my microfiction piece if you've the time: https://vocal.media/fiction/the-creature-lurks
