My eyes shot open adjusting into the darkened space, the only source of light coming from my old blue lamp as it cast a soft glow, illuminating the shadows of my possessions, the coat handing on the back of my door producing a large figure on the side of my white wall.

“That’s me.” I fell off the bed.

My Heaven by c12story
31 parts Ongoing Mature
She is beautiful. Never in my life have I seen a woman so gorgeous. I stare at her like I'm in a trance. I must be, because it's impossible to look away. Her red lips. Her soft closed eyes. He long blonde hair. Her hips. Her hands in the red sparkly gloves. Her right arm straight in the air. Her left on her shoulder. Her left leg up against the wall. The music plays, and I can't look away from her. She opens her eyes. Her right hand slowly running down her shoulder. She begins to sing. "Put your hand on my shoulder. Never let me go". Her voice. Her voice is one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard. So soft. So powerful. I have finally seen an angel. The year is 1944. In the heat of World War II, amidst the grueling training and impending battles, Michael, James, and Steven find solace in the small joys of life. When they are moved to a quaint town for their final training, they encounter a world untouched by the horrors of war.

Despite the chaos that looms ahead, he finds himself drawn to her, his heart caught between duty and an unexpected, profound love. As their connection deepens, they must navigate the complexities of their emotions against the backdrop of a world at war. "My Heaven" is a poignant tale of love and longing, courage and camaraderie, where the power of the human spirit shines brightest in the darkest of times. Through the fog of war, two souls discover that love can be the most potent force of all, offering hope and redemption when it's needed most.

Her vision blurry, eyes teary, ears ringing, as her head starts buzzing from the hard impact. She watches, as the red shining droplet falls and taints everything in its own darkness. She hears muffled voices, just as she feels a tingling sensation when she realises a hand on her shoulder and it's owner. A sob leaves her lips, when she realises what she has to do. His voice sounds in her ears, as she memorizes that baritone for the last time directed to her, "Are you okay?", with care. She pulls her hand, gathering her energy as silent pained tears falls down her face concentrating her powers. Suddenly, he jerks and falls stiff on his back, unable to move his body. His eyes widened as he registers what she is going to do, all while whispering, "No, no, please don't...". Grabbing a tree, she stands up painfully slow with tears running down her face uncontrollably. She takes a step towards him and sits on his torso, as she wails for everything happened to him and for everything she could have had, but now can't. To the Gods, for cursing her with her damned destiny. He slowly cups her face, and joins their heads released from the powers unknown to her, as he comforts her, "Don't worry, we will be over this, together." Her sobs turns quiet, just when suddenly again his body jerk back in same position, as she apologize, "Sorry, but I can't be selfish enough, not for you, for me and for us." As she slams her fisted kuckles down his head again and again.
