The pact of shadows
In the small, sleepy town of Havenwood, there once lived a boy named Ethan, who was just about to turn 20 years old. He was an introverted and misunderstood soul, grappling with the loss of his parents in a tragic accident when he was young. Struggling to find his place in the world, Ethan often felt a deep sense of loneliness and desperation. As Ethan's 20th birthday approached, a strange feeling enveloped him. It was as if an invisible force was tugging at his very core, urging him to seek out something more significant, something beyond the mundane existence he had grown accustomed to. Late one night, as he wandered the darkened streets, he noticed an old, weathered bookstore tucked away in a forgotten corner of the town. Intrigued, Ethan decided to step inside the dusty emporium, its shelves lined with ancient tomes and mysterious artifacts. As he explored the dimly lit aisles, he stumbled upon an ancient-looking book bound in cracked leather. Its cover bore the words "The Pact of Shadows" written in faded gold letters. It was as if the book had been waiting for him, calling out to him from the depths of time. Curiosity got the better of Ethan, and he opened the book to reveal cryptic symbols and occult drawings. As he flipped through the pages, he found a section titled "A Deal with the Devil." Skeptical but intrigued, he read further, discovering tales of individuals who had made bargains with a malevolent entity known as the Dark One, gaining incredible wealth, power, and fame in exchange for their souls. The stories both terrified and fascinated Ethan. The idea of making a pact with the devil seemed like an escape from the pain and isolation he had endured throughout his life. The relentless feeling of despair and the allure of power drove him to consider the unthinkable. Over the next few days, Ethan couldn't get the book out of his mind. The notion of selling his soul grew like a seed in his troubled heart. He kept returning to the bookstore, obsessively reading more about the enigmatic entity known as the Dark One. It was said that he would appear at the stroke of midnight in a desolate clearing at the edge of town, offering deals that were too tempting for desperate souls to resist. On the eve of his 20th birthday, tormented by his inner demons, Ethan found himself standing alone in the clearing, with the moon casting an eerie glow on the gnarled trees. The air was thick with anticipation, and he nervously awaited the manifestation of the Dark One. As the clock struck midnight, a chilling breeze swept through the clearing, and a dark figure emerged from the shadows. Tall and imposing, with eyes that seemed to pierce through Ethan's soul, the entity known as the Dark One stood before him. "Why have you summoned me, mortal?" the Dark One's voice echoed through the silence. Trembling but resolute, Ethan expressed his desire to make a pact, to exchange his soul for the power and fulfillment he sought. The Dark One listened intently, a sinister smile playing at the corners of his mouth. "Are you certain about this path you wish to tread?" the Dark One inquired, his voice a haunting whisper. Ethan hesitated for a moment, but the pain and longing within him overpowered his doubts. He nodded, accepting the consequences of his choice. The Dark One revealed a parchment and an obsidian quill. With an otherworldly grace, he began to transcribe the pact, outlining the terms and conditions of the deal. As Ethan looked at the contract, a sudden realization dawned upon him – this was not the answer he sought. In a moment of clarity, he understood that true fulfillment and happiness could not be obtained by surrendering his soul to darkness. It had to come from within, from embracing his own pain and growing stronger through adversity. With a trembling hand, Ethan pushed the contract away, tears streaming down his face. "I can't do this," he whispered, his voice barely audible. The Dark One chuckled, though there was a hint of admiration in his eyes. "You possess more strength than you realize, mortal. You have made a wise choice." As the Dark One faded back into the shadows, a weight lifted from Ethan's heart. Though he still grappled with his demons, he knew that he had taken a step towards a brighter future, one where he would face his struggles head-on and find strength in his vulnerabilities. Leaving the clearing, Ethan returned to Havenwood, a changed man. He sought solace in the friends he had pushed away and immersed himself in creative pursuits that had always brought him joy. In time, he realized that true power came from self-discovery, growth, and the relationships he nurtured. The tale of the boy who almost sold his soul to the devil spread through Havenwood, becoming a cautionary yet inspiring legend. Ethan's journey served as a reminder to everyone that even in the darkest of times, there was always hope for redemption and a chance to find one's own path in the light.

Ambsace. Top Story - July 2023. Content Warning.
“Yo, Cyclops! Ed wanted to see you. He said it was urgent.” Ryan’s colleagues made it a point to remind him daily that he was visually impaired and he hated that! But today, it didn’t bother him as much as it usually would have. Ed was their boss and being called to see him had never ended well for anyone. Panicking, he quickly walked up to Ed’s room and knocked. “Come in!” called Ed. “Um, hi Ed…you wanted to see me?” asked Ryan nervously as he closed the door behind him. “Yeah, you’re fired!” Ryan was dumbfounded. Fired? He must have heard it wrongly. “Sorry Ed, but I didn’t quite catch that.” “I said, you’re fired!” “Ed…come on. You can’t do this to me. On what grounds are you firing me?” “Sexual assault! How dare you pretend not to know anything?!” “Sexual…assault? I would never! Ed, you know me. I have a wife and we’re expecting a baby!” Ed clicked away on his mouse and when he was done, he turned his computer monitor to face Ryan. It was a security footage of the copy room. Ryan leaned closer to see whatever it was that got him fired. He could see Lola making copies of some documents and he saw himself walk in.
