Close Call
Content warning: Graphic details of gore Has anyone ever been as close to death as I? I may not be very highly educated, but I know that I'm not the only one. Plenty of stories of my fellow beings, being pronounced dead, but miraculously resuscitated. I may be the odd one out amongst those closest to me, but relative to the rest of time, my coming back to life is not all too outlandish.

Dreamer - Chapter 51
"Where are you even going!?" I found myself yelling out as Ace stormed forward. I could already feel myself running out of breath but if I stopped now, I'd lose him. I shouldn't be caring this much. He's discharged from the hospital. He clearly doesn't need my help. "Ace!" I called out once more before sitting down on a random rock that was plopped down at the end of some person's driveway. All this effort and he doesn't give a shit. What was I doing? The old me would've just let him leave the car and drove off. Fuck him. Fuck his attitude.

Trapped Inside
This trip was just a distraction. I'm aware of that. My parents would have never taken me to this place if they didn't feel like I had to just get out of the house at that very second. The day was hectic. Hell. Life's been hectic. Mom found out. Next was dad. I knew dad would find out eventually, even if mom tried her very hardest to keep it from him. Dad always finds out.
