There was an arcade at the old building. It was only open during school hours. Kids would ditch school to go there. It was ran by a man named Dr Insidious. He wasn't a real doctor, and that was just the name he used. One day an arrogant annoying boy skipped school and told him his games were too easy. Unaffected, Dr Insidious challenged him to his own game-skull dice.
If the boy rolled the dice and a skull appeared Dr Insidious would win. There were 6 sides to the dice with one skull. The boy weighing in on his odds rolled the dice. The skull appeared. Dr Insidious claimed the boy's soul.

Wibblenob
Be afraid, be very afraid! The wibblenob knows all. Santa may not be real to some, but if he was he would know naughty and nice because the wibblenob is omniscient. It is a shape changer and sees everyone, even in our sneakiest times. Perhaps the wibblenob is hiding inside your computer looking at your search history, or he is the taciturn boy who sits alone at lunch. The wibblenob can tell artificial intelligence from the reality, it can see CGI content from the real content and is impervious to propaganda. The wibblenob knows what you are thinking, and above all knows what is in your heart when you do any sort of action. Thieves who steal out of love or need are usually exempt from punishments from whom the wibblenob reports to. Others who steal due to kleptomania get lighter penalties. It is the ones who prey on the vulnerable-the Machiavellis, the narcissists, they need to watch out. I have heard an online scammer whom the wibblenob spot, he had his accounts frozen and locked. The wibblenob's leader then sought the justice needed and the funds returned to the owners. We all need to keep in mind that we do not know what or where the wibblenob is hiding in, what it sees about us, yet it knows everything about us. Beware!

Letters to ada
Letter I – From Layth to Ada Void, beyond the 22nd century My Dearest Ada, Your eyes... velvet that dissolves the last remnants of my coldness. I was an extinguished ember, until your radiance moistened me like a river-child bending over an ancient thirst in my chest. You blinked—and all of Time leaned toward my mouth. A redness upon your lips touched my fissures, and I softened... I, whom stones never softened. Your iris was my window and my mirror: a core that illuminates and desiccates what remained of my cold soul. I whisper to you a gesture of containment, and I dissolve in Time, even though I was frozen beneath the anesthesia of heavy smoke from a cigarette that keeps the night awake in my blood. I hid a poet in an old box—I feared that if he saw you, the world around me would be disturbed... but your wide lashes excavated the box and awakened what had died before you. You approached... and in the silence of night you were like a thread of light passing over my heart. I saw sorrow wrapped around your white shawl, its yellowness faded as if traces of a day that continued to extinguish. I said to you in a whisper, my voice sagging between fear and wonder: Will you entwine your hand in mine, and shall we slip together to the bottom of Time... without fear? You smiled, and the universe slackened around me, as if the warmth of your fingers was all that remained of the world. And you were asking in silence: “Where is your place within my embrace?” And I, in whose throat the sword of silence had been planted, found myself choosing you before I could speak. Black were your eyes, yet they kindled a daylight within me. And for the first time... O you of the two eyes, I felt that I was luminous.
