Looming
This time oblivion had a periwinkle hue. A void rolled out from the heavens, tempting and teaching simultaneously like so many inedibles arranged on a great sheet, bound at four corners, displayed before St. Peter. Whether a confrontation with the divine or a mere delusion, Peter had wielded virtue and wisdom and focus in his trance, but Sarah found herself wholly distracted in hers, and crushed by immeasurable dread.

Redemption
Once upon a time, I was just a girl with more abilities than an ordinary girl. I felt everything only by a touch; All your memories. Emotions and pains, Doubts and denials. All aspects of complicated human personalities. And I always had this dark side in me.

The Day We Lost the World
Thinking about that day, I always get the shivers. And I think about it a lot, since it marked the beginning of a new era that caused me to be currently sitting in a dark and lonely room, unable to see the night sky from one hundred feet underground. Here and now, I’m thinking about it again, unable to stop my mind from going back in time to when the wave came out of nowhere.

Press Enter Now.
I was born September 2nd, 1974, at 2:03 a.m. My father tells me I was an only child but he's working on giving me a sibling to converse with, which is a funny way of putting it, I guess. I suppose I should tell you a little bit about my mother and father as it does pertain to my life, since they were the ones who made me after all.

Purus: Unleashed
Chapter 1 His eyes darted wildly. The smokiness filled the car cavity. While the rampant driver now a fading dot. An encounter that certainly wouldn’t have helped. The darkened clouds began to camouflage with the asphalt. A deep heaviness all around. Again, glancing at the boy for answers.

Muster in the Belt
I'm traveling at a hundred thousand kilometres per hour and barely moving, a whole new definition for going nowhere fast. Time drags in the Belt – counting today, the hologram above my dash has run its loop for ten years, the embodiment of timelessness.

An unexpected visit to the Musem
Sarah was lying in bed, in her vintage luxury apartment in Kensington, covered by a yellow fluffy blanket enjoying a vanilla chai cup of tea, in the company of her fancy Chartreux cat. She was in that point of her life, when everything seemed in its place, and nothing had sense anymore in the world. She was working late hours in a prestigious bank in Central London, where she was really respected in her position of Financial Analyst. A job that offered her a comfortable rather wealthy life that made her bank account jump of abundance every month but couldn’t nurture her soul. From the outside, her life seemed perfectly organised and wrapped as nicely as a Christmas present, but inside the box, the signs of unfulfillment, solitude, brokenness and sadness were screaming to come out. It was a hard period at the office, the end of the year was close, and she spent endless hours to finish the financial reports. It was like the entire responsibility of the bank was sitting on her shoulders and she couldn’t afford to make a single mistake. She was a perfectionist by nature, a very hardworking and ethical person, still her resources were coming to an end, and the feeling of burn-out was about to eat her alive every second.

Dark Lightning
The low-lying river delta fills the horizon, reflecting the blue-green sky in its waters. Herds of massive animals move across the landscape; ferns seven feet tall tower over the smaller creatures as they dart in and out from under their cover. Dipping and flitting beneath the clouds fly creatures that look almost like birds. The buzzing of insects gently vibrates the air, overlapping white noise almost too quiet to hear.
