“I am not the one who has to keep a monster at bay under my own skin,” Black danced in front of Darren, causing him to stop suddenly, “this is your burden, and I was just trying to help.” Darren felt the asinine comments digging deeper and deeper as they went on their journey, in…

Darren
Darren walked slowly, dragging his feet, his mind was wandering aimlessly, this was not supposed to happen. He tried to avoid the looks of the other people as he walked through the town, he will be forced to vacate his rooms by the end of the day, if they allowed him to stay till the…

Suicidal Mission
His running footsteps broke the silence of the sleeping woods, and his heavy breathing was loud enough to sound like a thousand windmills have taken on a flight, at least in his ears.
