Nightmares feel like a hell you're living in. What if you lived one? Would you think you'd survive it? Maybe.. There's mercy, maybe.. There isn't.

Singed - My demon
A happy childhood, a so-so adolescence. Then adulthood arrived, and everything went to hell. And by everything, I mean it. Grown-up life is truly a wonderful, dazzling adventure! A job that drains your soul, stripping away any will to live while fueling a more or less justified homicidal instinct; depression knocking at the door with a lovely bouquet of red roses and, last but not least, the remnants of a social life buried somewhere under my shoes. Not the ones I'm wearing now; those are slippers, big difference. I mean the pretty ones in the cabinet that I haven't touched in five years. Love can be destructive. It catches you, ensnares you, devours you, and if you're unlucky enough, it leaves you standing in nothing but your underwear before reducing you to ashes. I had made peace with my "and she lived single, forever unhappy but safe" fate. A house, one, four, eight, maybe twenty cats and a future as flat as a heart monitor that's given up the ghost. No joys, minimal suffering, because there's only so much a heart can take before it calls it quits. And honestly? Fuck it, I'd been through enough. ... But he changed everything. In the worst, most terrifying way possible. From this abyss, I may never climb back out.
The Rat King
My name is Nolan Moore and something special happened to me. Or at least that is what the psychiatrist calls it. I think it was disturbing, too horrific for words. What happened to me was something that keeps me up at night. Sometimes I lay in bed and stare at the ceiling for hours, even days. I get shivers down my spine even writing this down, but I have a feeling that I will be gone soon. So, if you read this, then you get a glimpse of my soul. I pray that before the end of my story I will get forgiveness for everything I have done. Just remember I did this because I thought it was the best thing at the time. Clearly, it wasn't. Time is a thin line floating between what was and what will be. It's flowing through space hoping to reach an end. Normally whenever someone makes a choice, time itself splits and although we don't feel a thing, it still happens, nonetheless. But now something happened that had never happened before. Two new lines that were created flowed alongside each other through the endless void, seeking their old one. They were never supposed to collide, but one strange afternoon everything went wrong. The three timelines hit each other dead on. Three people ended up on an island, three exactly the same people.Completa
A Demon's Rage
I've lived for many lifetimes. I've seen things no man has, lived through harsh experiences none should survive. How did I survive? Because I'm no ordinary man. But every single moment of my damnation has not prepared me for this.Completa
Reaper
You think your dead-end retail job is bad? You think the worst job ever could be found under the Golden Arches? You think your boss is a jerk? Try me. I'm a grim reaper, one of billions. It's still not enough, so we're all overworked--and I'm new. So, like any newbie, I get the jobs nobody else wants. Like cleaning up after the really crazy people. Like finding sunken submarines. Like going through the children's ward at a hospital. Make no mistake. Your job is heaven compared to mine. Made mature for language and mentions of death, violence, murder, and suicide.Completa
Fly High
I hadn't thought it would be this way. That I would end up in a place like this. That I would end up in... Hell.Completa
The New Life in the Afterlife
Death, ever wonder what it feels like? What it possibly could feel if you felt the concept of nothing around you with no say in the situation...? I did, once. Someone had it worse though.
Afterlife
Dead is not all rainbows and butterflies. It's not 'better than living'. You are not 'free' or 'better off'. You're just not. So what is it like? Think of it as the ultimate game of tag. One Grim Reaper after another, and if you're caught, you die...again. But what if you suddenly fall head over heels for someone who hates you? What if he tries to kill you? What if you are partnered with him to capture a serial killer? I'd like to know the answers to those questions too. Maybe I'll find some light in all this darkness. Or, maybe, nothing will turn out the way I want. Maybe I'll be killed. Maybe I'll die again. Maybe I'll be rejected. Maybe it isn't such a good idea to be so optimistic sometimes because I'm sure nothing will turn out the way I want.Completa
Earth 2 - It's where we go when we die.
What happens when we die? We think to ourselves if we just knew that we would have peace of mind. One thing is for certain now, there is an afterlife. On Earth (e1) wars were fought and millions died defending their "truth." And then the greatest trick of all occurs: we die, we're reborn on Earth 2 (e2) and we still don't know a goddamn thing. From a philosophical standpoint it's even more disconcerting than not knowing. And so, the quintessential question on Earth 2 remains the same as it did on Earth: "What happens when we die?" Is this our last chance to reflect and amend for the mistakes we made? Is this our last chance at salvation? Is there an Earth 3? Or, will this be the time that death brings only darkness?Completa
