The wraith

It wasn't a nightmare, but it wasn't a sweet dream either...
I woke up terrified struggling to breathe...
I saw someone with a pale face, blind eyes and sad lineaments... Who is he?
I don't remember seeing him anywhere before...
But I'm sure of one thing, it's that I will not spoil my day just because of a stupid nightmare of someone I don't know!!

So, I had an average day like usual... But... 'Where did I see him before? He looks familiar to me', I asked this to myself when I got a friend request from someone, it was normal to open his profile and check his information and profile picture...
I accepted his request thinking that I might have met him before but I forgot...
Shyly asked him: do I know you? I think I saw you before... But he ensured me that it's the first time we talk and it was just a random request...
He was a nice person with very kind behaviour, I just got close to him quickly...
But... After a week... I woke up terrified struggling to breathe!
I saw someone with a pale face, blind eyes and sad lineaments... I know... This happened to me before...
But there's a difference this time... It's that.. I know who he is!
I forgot about my daily routine and hurried up to talk to him... I have to tell him that he's in danger!
Please reply to me! I saw the wraith of you! Are you sick?!! Why didn't I remember that it was you in the picture!
I felt so sad but I was helpless... I know when someone dreams of a stranger with a pale face, blind eyes and sad lineaments, it means that this stranger is living his last days... I missed you, stranger...
I know you will never reply to my messages anymore... But I'm sure of one thing, it's that I won't spoil my life just because of a passing by stranger...
Life is average... and always will be average... But... Everything will change soon... After meeting him...
A new mate at my work... he shyly came up to me and asked me about my name... I answered...
Then, nice to meet you... then... 'Are you sure that we didn't meet before?', he asked. Well, a stupid selfish girl like me must think that it's a way to start a conversation with me...
It was nice to get a smart mate in the same work team... But... It's terrible when this smart new mate comes to tell me why did he thought that he had seen me before. You are asking why.
He said it's something like fate to see someone in the dream before meeting him... He thinks that it means that our souls met!
But he wonders why was my face pale, my eyes were blind and my lineaments were sad in his dream!
Terrified I ask him when did you see this dream? He said a week ago!
I started feeling pain... and dizzy... I think I have to adieu everyone I know... Quickly... Maybe I have only a couple of hours left!!!!!

Lily's Neighbors (Part I)

Do you believe in the Supernatural? The things which do not seem to have a firm explanation. Many people have tried, but fortunately or unfortunately only a few got their hands dug into that grave soil. Never mind, sometimes I act like such a preacher!

Lily lived happily with her parents and their family dog in a friendly neighborhood. The atmosphere was always tranquil and welcoming. It felt so safe and homey to any stranger or other. The place smelt like flowers and baked cakes with various toppings. Her whole childhood she spent there and now she was a young girl with a kind heart and rebellious nature. She was in the age of uncertainty, or better we call girls around her age teenagers. Having lived seventeen years there the people were well familiar to her and so was she to them. Maybe it sounds a bit far fetched but their locality wasn't that of much.

So when her neighbors the Sandras were moving she felt upset. Not only she was losing her second mom, but her best friend too. Anna was their daughter moving with them, obviously. After some lingering emptiness one day she heard a new family was coming to live in the house. One week passed.

One night when Lily was about to sleep, she peeked through the curtains of her room. A quiet night, stars were shining like little diamonds of light, everything was same but still it didn't feel like other nights. Then she saw it. The light of the room opposite to her window was on. It seemed weird but she waved it off. Thinking who else could be awake at 2am. Sure her friend wasn't back again or surely in those days none of the criminals thought to make it their cover for doing illegal things.

The next day the first news she got was their new neighbors arrived. As a welcoming, her mom sent her there with a homemade pie. She was hesitant but curious too, but curiosity killed the cat. Or so we know, but she was not a cat. Lily went anyway. The house haD an eerie feeling around it, unlike when she and Anna spent their days back then in the very house. It holds so may memories. She rang the bell but no one answered. She decided to check for herself, though it wasn't a civilized manner to enter people's houses uninvited, but then again she didn't consider herself one. Inside was dark. She made her way by supporting her hands on adjacent walls, tripping on every two steps. Suddenly her feet contacted with something cold and sticky beneath. She slipped physically and mentally into the world of looming darkness.

She was awake with a buzzing headache and a little memory loss. She was in her room and what happened between the time when she had fainted and waking up was completely unknown to her. Other than that she wouldn't like to admit but she never felt more alive in her whole life. Something changed, it was a terrible change.

After You're Old Enough Every Time Thinks Like This

I feel and remember how after turning 24 or some time last year, it slowly dawned on me that I was finally an adult and that I’m pretty much going to be on my own. I’m aware that I sort of matured slower than other people, and well, whatever – I’m just a kid at heart, you know?
Here are a few things that made me realize I was no longer a kid:

1. Some of the Olympic athletes I’ve been rooting for are younger than me, and some songs I like are by people who are younger than me. It’s just weird, man. All of my life, I’ve always looked up to people on TV who were always older than me if not the same age. And now, they’re getting younger? They’re practically babies, geez.

2.Everything makes me sleepy and I want to nap all the time nowadays. I’m sure a part of it has to do with not exercising regularly, but still, as a kid I was always on the go. I was either running all the time, playing TV tag or just dancing to the Spice Girls nonstop. Now, it’s really tough to push myself to be more active because napping feels nicer.

3. I don’t care for social events or fitting in. From elementary school all the way to community college, I’ve always tried really hard to fit in and be a part of the cliques I’ve always thought were cool. I wanted to make “cool” friends and have someone to take “cool” MySpace pictures with, really bad!

These days, I’m happy with the close friends that I have and I’m not really using anymore “friend applications”. Also, I dress really normal now. I stopped going shopping. I adore fashion but I don’t dress up to try to impress people anymore unless we’re talking about a job interview. I don’t know if this is a good or a bad thing.

4. I really want to get a cat or a dog! This doesn’t mean you can’t be “young” to take care of a pet, but for me, I never really wanted a pet until now. I’m old enough to accept the responsibility and I want to take care of something as long as it’s not an actual human baby.

The girl with her head in the clouds

Being realistic wasn't in her dictionary. Always imagining things that weren't even imaginable to others, not even in a child's mind. She was young and foolish at heart but her body was way past that time. Grown up at sight, but inside it was way less age at heart and soul.

Head still in the clouds from lack of childhood that she had never gotten back. All the years she spent following her foster parent's rules to be this beautiful young lady, putting on all types of makeup and clothing to be in pageants and modeling shoots. She wasn't allowed to go out and play on the swings, nor to play kickball or even have toys. No. She had to put her childhood on hold.

As she grew older her heart got as big as a beach ball, taking in everything around her. She could be anything in the world. A model, an actress, a singer, a dancer, a lawyer, a doctor, absolutely anything! But out of all the choices in the universe, she chose to be a Girl with her head in the clouds.

Everyday her parents tell her she's not going to get anywhere being an adult child. She shakes her head in disagreement. "You told me I could be anything I wanted. This is what I want." How could her mind be grown up but her heart so child like. She has dolls now, with a pretty pink house. She has a bike and a skateboard, even has a pacifier. What is wrong with her you might ask?

Nothing. Nothing is wrong with her. She's just living her life in reverse. She had to go through adulthood as a child, now she's a child in adulthood. And she wouldn't like it any other way. You know why? Because I'm the girl with her head in the clouds.

48

Frank was a nurse. He worked in a hospital cold chambers where they put dead bodies.
The Hospital was on a high way, far away from people.

Frank's shift was usually around 2 to 3 AM. Frank wasn't the type of guy who would get scared easily, and he never really thought about the whole idea of death since he saw that pretty much daily.

One night it was raining heavily, Frank was listening to his favourite radio show at 2:30 AM, he got curious and pretty much bored so he decided to play with the keys. He saw a key that had a number 48. Frank was confused since there was no chamber number 48, there were only 47 chambers.

All of a sudden the power went off. He was neither shocked nor surprised because it was raining heavily and these sort of things happen.

Frank turned his flashlight on and decided to call the security guards to ask them about the issue. Guards picked up the phone. 'Hello', Frank said, all the reply he got was 'Help'.

He was shocked when the power went back on again and thought it was a prank, but when he looked back, his face went pale and his soul almost left his body. He saw all the 47 dead people in front of him, smiling at him.

Breaking News: A secret Hospital Cold chamber was discovered today, the chamber had the number 48.
