People always say you should make a wish when you see a shooting light in the sky but no ones said what I should do when the light isn't moving. You see I thought the same rule was applicable in both scenarios but I was wrong. I saw a bright light and I made a wish, nothing out of the ordinary just a simple wish but it opened the gate to a not so simple journey. My name is Arc it's short for Arcadio, which means 'truly brave.' It's a little ironic because I'm far from it but when my stupid wish causes a series of strange events to occur I will have no choice but to be brave...! This is a little demo of my story - My pupils shrunk as I gazed into the eyes of the beast that would soon bring me an early end. Its eyes were pure black. As I gazed I noticed the dark swirls that tunnelled around its pupils sluggishly whining into the centre where a luminous yellow light emerged. Its skin was pure black, not a single blemish could I see. It resembled a lion, a great ebony beast. Its main circled around his face like a decoration, proud and bushy like an honour it had earned. Its fur was sharp and bristle like. Such power ooze out of its body that even its hairs stood proudly on end. Paws the size of my face decorated with claws and a sharp array of teeth that spat blasphemy against the gods. Its teeth were tainted, a scarlet ting stained the ends of his teeth and a false tongue of crimson colour lurked behind it. Its face towered over me as a trembled in fear. Its back was darted with yellow stripes, like that of a zebra but this was different. The stripes moved like an ever changing patterns, illuminating a lime yellow glow to the surrounding. Its tail was long and ever slithering. It crackled in the air like a whip with granger.

My hands were stretched out to him. Expressing what my voice couldn't. I needed his help - even if it's just this once - I'd hoped he helped me. But he didn't reach out to me. Instead, I watch him turn his back at me. I watch him walk away when I needed him the most. Even after all she said, there was a part of me that hoped it wasn't true. Even if he doesn't love me - I'd thought he would at the very least liked me... maybe? I thought all the things I did for him would make him see me, tolerate me or something. But no. We kept drifting further apart. And it's all my fault. I simply did too much. I trusted the wrong person. Did the craziest things for love. Forgot my self worth. All these to earn his approval, his acknowledgment - for him to see me - none of which ever happened. And now, here I am. Lying in the pool of my own blood for someone who doesn't even care for my life or death. Oh, how I wish I could turn back time! I refuse to face my family like this. This is too shameful. For I've fallen too far from the woman I was raised to be. I dare not face my mama. Now, for the first time ever, I wish not to be seen, heard or even thought of- I wish not to be saved. I wish my soul disintegrates and scatters into nothingness . I wish to be completely erased from the universe. This story isn't edited yet. I apologize for some mistakes you might see. Your comments and advices are appreciated as this is my first book so it might be quite... Thank you
