Hallucinations (rewriting post-physical publication)

Chapter 18 - (Part 1) - Our Worst Days

Today my forest is dark. The trees are all sad and all the butterflies have broken wings. 

These two days.

Are our worst days.

February 15th, 2001.

The day Kathy was born.

And June 8th, 2002.

The day I was born.

Only this year, it's February 15th, 2019, and June 8th, 2019.

Kathy's 19th birthday, and my 18th birthday.

Our doomsdays.

Turns out, when the clocks stopped at 11:00 AM, it was the bond between me and Conor.

But.

As Newton's Third Law states; "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction".

Let's have an equal reaction be the bond between me and Conor.

The opposite reaction.

My doomsday.

Takes place on my 18th birthday, at 11:00 AM.

Kathy's doomsday.

Takes place on her 19th birthday, at 11:00 AM.

Turns out, the opposite reaction has two sides: me and Kathy. Two doomsdays.

I had my one good moment with Conor, and that was the equal reaction.

Life is not fair.

Everyone knows that. 

(Part 2)

In this situation, Conor and Raymond are helpless to the cause.

Any guesses?

Here's why:

On our birthday, we both suffer from our worst hallucinations.

Since February 15th is before June 8th, obviously, Kathy is hit with the blow first.

(Since I am the main character), when the blow comes back around, it hits me twice as hard.

It really is unfortunate that Kathy has to experience hers right after Valentine's Day, and right after Raymond "did it" with her.

It really is unfortunate that I had to have that "Sickening Hallucination" with the unnamed figure right after my night with Conor.

Like I mentioned before, our hallucinations are developed by our biggest fears.

As you should be able to predict; the "enemy" will be digging even deeper, in fact; as far deep as they can dig into our souls to uncover our deepest, and darkest fears we contain.

Which can, and will only result in havoc, and terror past your imagination. But because most of the two events are so blurry in our memories, due to the drugs they injected in our veins after we were sedated while barely conscious, we don't remember much of anything except for the most vivid, upsetting details.

Are you ready?

Then let's go.
