The Eternal Torment

I was in love, I was married, I had friends, I had kids-they died. They died right in front of me. They were slaughtered before my eyes.

I had love again. But, Charleon betrayed me, ridiculed me, tortured me in the very home we built.

I had a family once more but they didn't love me-they hated me and by some uncontrollable force, I killed them with my own hands.

In my next life, I was even more hopeful than before, but I couldn't help wailing every waking second of the day as I remembered my past lives. I bawled until my tears drowned everyone I held dear.

I had another chance, my love was back, I built a family and a reputation and a firm standing in our beautiful town, Rosemary Cove, until one fateful day....everyone I had ever known vanished without a trace and I was left alone for the rest of my long, sad life until I died on the cold, hard dirt. Malnourished and yearning.

I had another life, and another, and another. Each filled with more anguish than the last, each feeling more surreal, each giving me more hope than before...only to crush me entirely.

That is my fate. And I will live this for eternity. And at these moments, the same words flash into my mind:

"Sometimes the world doesn't feel real,
And I am beside myself in longing,
Longing for something that feels a bit more realistic."

But this was as realistic as it got and I was doomed to it forever and ever and-

My eyes shot open.

How did they open?
