Falling for Him
The sun had fallen behind the clouds now; leaving a gorgeous red-orange color in its place as it slowly disappeared out of sight. The ocean waves were crashing for miles ahead, growing bigger as the wind slowly picked up the closer we were heading towards nightfall. My father had told us of the storm that was supposed to brew up by nightfall, but Jeremy insisted that tonight just had to be the night we both took a late-night boat ride through the ocean. Something 'bout how he wasn't sure when we'd ever find an opportunity as perfect as tonight. All my best friends told me over and over that I should get myself prepared and pampered in preparation for this boat trip... a small part of me was hoping they had a good hunch. It has been about three years... a good hunch is as good as any.

Zirkee was unique, though, in that he suffered from terrible nightmares.

See the Light Chapter 1 Bound in Darkness
The Endless Days I lost track of time in those wretched places they put me at night where the walls seemed to close in on me, as if they too were conspiring to make my captivity unbearable. Each day felt like an eternity, the hours stretching endlessly, while the nights dwindled into mere moments of restless, haunted slumber.
