Nightmare from hell…. Content Warning.
18NOV2924; 0924, MON– Balto., MD, USA Why does it seem that humanity is damned to eventual self-destruction; if not destruction by the creation(s) of our very own making? “Asking for a friend;” literally.

The Unseen
It started with Caleb. One second, he was standing in front of the bonfire, poking at the flames with a stick and telling one of his ridiculous jokes. The next, he was gone. Not in the "wandered off to pee in the woods" kind of way. Gone. The space he occupied felt… wrong, like the air where he had been was thicker somehow.

When Silence Was Shattered
Grizzle lived with his father in a small, ugly, strange, and desolate town where the shadows peeking out of the windows of the houses were never fully visible. It feels like "invisible eyes are following you from every corner of the streets. Grizzle lost his mother and little sister years ago in a plane crash. So said his father. Grizzle is a quiet, silent, and strange eight-year-old boy. He has not spoken a single word since he took his first breath after birth. Anger flows in the form of tears, a terrible monster is hidden behind innocence. His silence is deadly; sadness, pain, fear, and a calm silence are his life. His soul trembles with fear, but there is no shiver in his bones, a calm heart does not beat faster when frightened but becomes more calm. He is so calm, that even his breathing and heartbeat cannot be heard. One day at midnight of the full moon when the moon becomes the most beautiful ornament of creation. Grizzle went to his father, while he was sleeping. The little boy sat on his chest; seeing this, his father's eyes widened with fear, and his breathing became heavy. "Grizzle now broke his years-long silence."

Because I Love You eight
Not that long later, Papa came back to his bedroom door. Unlocking the door with a huge creepy smile on his face. Rhys wished that he would be allowed to eat in his room. To eat by himself for once in his stay. And that Papa wasn't so observant as he stared at his face. Looking so worried about why his eyes were red, as it was very clear that he had been crying for a while. But, he didn't push the issue as he took Rhys's hand. Smiling ear to ear as he asked,"You ready to eat, baby?"

Soon as the cartoon was over, Emmett had another activity for them. It wasn't as messy as paints. But it seemed to be pretty fun. And Rhys sort of liked the idea of doing it.

Because I Love You six
Despite the various ways he tried, nothing got Emmett to speak to him. Or got him to cheer up in the slightest bit. Something that was kind of bugging Rhys if he were being truly honest with himself. Rhys wasn't entirely sure why it would be. In fact, Emmett's silence should have been seen as a good thing. Yet, this treatment was really bothering him.

Because I Love You five
Running through the woods without shoes or socks wasn't wise. Then again it was better than wasting time trying to find them. Or demand Emmett give him either. That would probably have ended in a lot of questioning from the older man. Stuff that he knew better than to answer honestly. And knowing full well that if he didn't that the older man would have been really upset with him. Then there would be a lot of pain for lying and trying to escape the older man. Which was something that he will be getting if that bastard caught up with him. All of this was stuff that Rhys didn't want to think of at all. What he desperately wanted was just to go back to his apartment.

Because I Love You four
The game itself wasn't too difficult to learn. Just take a card and move the number of spaces on it. Or go to where it says to. Simple. Very simple and a little on the boring side. Rhys didn't really mind it in the slightest bit. It was sort of a welcome distraction from the situation at hand. This wouldn't entirely distract him. He supposed that it was better than doing absolutely nothing.

Because I Love You three
Nearing the room, Emmett insisted Rhys close his eyes. Even going so far as to tell him to put a hand over his eyes. All of which felt over the top in his book. But, it was something that Rhys quickly complied with. Somewhat fearing what would happen if he didn't. Closing his eyes then covering them with his free hand. Still somewhat afraid of what was in store for him. Feeling that it would be something freaky or gross. Chewing the inside of his cheek as the older man walked him into the room. A few seconds later, the older man stated,"Okay, my love. You can put your hand down and open your eyes."

Because I Love You two
The next morning, Rhys woke up to someone gently nudging his stomach. It was a flat hand on him along with lips being pressed to his forehead. Reminding him vaguely how someone would wake him up when he was much younger. For a few seconds, he stayed utterly still on the bed. Not opening his eyes as he tried to understand what exactly was going on. Who was touching him and just what for. Then the person whispered,"Good morning, my love. Time to get up and have some breakfast."
