Going up?
Where am I? I've been in this tall tower for as long as I can remember, but I can't remember how long that is. It almost feels like I was born here. The room is caged, round, and empty, the only thing in here are stairs, and the sound of water dripping, but everything is bone dry. Everything is stone, and looking up all I see is stairs spiraling up forever.

Open Mind: Chapter Seven
It was all downhill from there. I made several panicked calls to my mom, but each time the call went to voicemail. It wasn’t like her to not pick up the phone. One of the girls offered to take me home with her, but it was clear that she was making this choice for Heather, not for me. I was in no position to refuse her, so when her father showed up in his little white minivan, I got in without a word.

Furimmer
The club was dark. In the air was the scent of cologne mingled with sweat from the pretty young boys tearing up the dance floor; their moves indicated their deepest sexual desires. Dozens of spinning, flashing lights illuminated the dance floor, reflecting off the mirrored ceiling, casting glows of a divine nature upon the foreheads of the flock of fresh young meat. I was aware of it. Every sound, every deep breath taken from exerting too much energy echoed in my head, vibrated with my heart, pulsed with the drums' deep beat from the music pounding out of the giant speakers. I embraced it all, for it had been too long. It was time to taste a little life and take a little with me. There, before me on the dance floor, was the one. In an instant, I knew from centuries of existing and learning the trade that the end of his life was nothing short of being hours away.

Red Becomes The Wolf
There are places woman should go and places she shouldn’t; although just as well…those places shouldn’t provoke her to become the wolf, because a wolf you will get. This story takes place in downtown Los Angeles. City of fallen dreams, forgotten morals and broken wings. Nothing about this world is forgiving, but there’s just something about the run-down streets of a city that make you see the true ugliness of our today leaders. Red, a seventeen old girl, on the cusp of womanhood, is a product of our broken system. She steals to feed herself and her grandma, and she lies to the police about the drug deals that go on around her neighborhood because she knows others need to eat too. Red is just a typical girl living in a typical world that’s out to make it for themselves. She’s not yet fully aware of how much her life is controlled. She doesn’t yet understand that it’s the men who run the system and who make it hard for her family to get proper support. She’s knows its broken, but she doesn’t yet see how much they love to control.

Eating my experiences
TOME 4 I couldn't so much as move till mid-day, when alex had come looking for me, we were the last two left out of five. He pushed into the room quietly, taking only a moment to absorb the scene in front of him. Gabe's lifeless eyes had started to attract flies, just another twist of the knife. Alex slid next to me, sitting on his heels as he slid his hand into mine. Alex and i were close, he was possibly my closest friend before all this happened and now, he was all i had. We had lived together once upon a time, and he was the only thing keeping me sane at that time, hopefully he could do it again.

Attempted kidnap by a ghost???
Awhile back, probably 4-5 months ago I was driving home after hanging out with a friend. I was on a road that had street lights and a decent amount of people on it. It was late though, probably around 2:45 or so in the morning.

Eating My Experiences
CW: cursing, violence, loss TOME 3 I rolled around on the floor for what felt like hours, birds were chirping. I assumed that Gabe was gone, ran out the back or something, Alex slept, and I could hear that gang arguing in the front yard about weather they should stay or leave at this point. We were really far from any other houses so I usually wasn't very worried about Zombies, but at this point it would be a problem if they kept screaming out there.

Santa Crawls
I was generally a good kid, I'd say. But I guess like most children in the 80's, I had my moments, and could be a right little shit. Especially when I got mixed up with a 'bad' crowd; they weren't too bad really, but next to my sheltered childhood, they were absolute terrors, and my parents tried on several occasions to get me to stay away from them.

Eating my experiences
CW: violence, cursing TOME 1 It's been so long since this started that I'm not sure where it started anymore, so I'll just start from where we are. My current life is a direct dichotomy with who I was before all this. I used to be happy, I used to be stable, and I used to be loved. I worked hard to be stable. Now? now I am unable to get my medications, so my bipolar is back, my hallucinations are back, and my trauma bubbles up through every crack in the pavement. I know what you're thinking, "sounds like millions of people, calm down", well, this would be normal, if not for our dead loved ones wandering around trying to eat us.
