My parents got a divorce when I was around 10 years old. I lived with my mom till I was 15. That's when I got the phone call that my moms car had swerved into a lake. And the seatbelt, the one thing that was suppose to keep you safe, killed her. And the Dad I haven't seen in 4 years comes to get me, but returns with another wife and a daughter at the age of 5.

He has another family.. 

I try sending Messages too my moms phone explaining my predicaments.

'He forgot us then comes back all because you left! Why couldn't you stay!' Instantly a message popped on my screen, 'Message failed to send' 

I was stupid and for two years, asked question to a dead phone, until a reply came... 

'Help me'

Welcome to Blighton - The Survival Guidebook by -Dradix-
33 parts Complete Mature
You have just finished moving into this unremarkable, remote town called Blighton, located at the edge of a beautiful forest. Looking forward to a fresh start in a great neighborhood and close community, you make yourself at home in your new place. Not even one week after arriving, something strange happens upon returning home from work. You discover a small brown package in your mail, with neither sender nor recipient stated on it. After unwrapping the paper, a grey booklet is revealed, imprinted with the questionable title "Blighton Citizen Guidebook". Flipping through the pages, you quickly come to the conclusion that either this package has been delivered to the wrong person, or someone is playing a lousy prank on you. Is this supposed to scare you? Without giving it a second thought you toss the booklet aside, paying it no mind for a couple of days. But somehow you can't bring yourself to disregard it entirely. Something about the whole thing does not feel right to you. It seems way to elaborate for a simple joke. Why would someone go through the effort of compiling a bunch of ghost stories, just to trick some random newcomer? Eventually, your curiosity gets the better of you and the booklet finds itself in your hands once again. With a sigh you sit down at your table and open this supposed "guidebook". You begin reading the first page... --- This story represents a personal challenge in which I tried to write a short entry for each day of October.

Do paranormal things, witches and magic exist? There are gifts that are waiting to be discovered. The mythical power is just waiting beyond the deepest darkest tunnel of the unknown. Only the brave learns to test the waters amidst the labyrinth of its knotted mystery. PLEASE, NO PLAGIARISM. (~Created July 6, 2018:Finished August 5, 2018~) Being engrossed in studying his current case detained him from leaving at once until he forgot the time. He never mentioned to Hera that he's going home after two decades. Only his youngest child knows of his trip back home. Whether he believes in curse or not. It's his 45th birthday tomorrow and he must be home to keep his promise to his mother. His family had never forsaken him, he did. He'd been ignoring their summons since he turned his back from them. Perhaps it's time to grant their plea. He closes his office and walks to the elevator. "Good evening, Artemis." The man in a black jacket greets him. Artemis smiles at the stranger. "Do I know you?" The stranger puts his arm around the stunned lawyer. Behind the unknown man's dark glasses are bloodshot eyes ready to scare the wits out of his prey. "Your mother does. She's expecting me to greet you happy birthday." Removing his dark glasses, he stares at his victim to corrupt his eyes. Insurmountable fear assaults Artemis as excruciating pain drills on his eyeballs. A horrible scream slits through the silence of the night when the clock strikes twelve. As the elevator opens, the stranger loosens his grip and the victim falls on the floor. Covering his bleeding eyes, Artemis winces from severe pain. The man whistles away as he walks past the dead body of the security guard in the lobby to the snowy road outside the building. His victim crawls out of the closing elevator. The curse is true. He must get into his car before his sight totally leaves him. He must warn his family. " I must save Athena!"

BOOK ONE: Having enough courage to run through the woods and away from the people who convinced me they were saving me was not how I believed I'd spend my day. Yet, there I went escaping from the only place I knew existed in the world. Being held captive was too much for me, especially when these people wouldn't tell me who they were or even who I was. The first moment in my life I recall very clearly. I awoke in a dark room, with recollection of everything that happened in the world except for one thing. I had no memory of myself existing, I didn't know where I was or why these men kept me from leaving. Days after I first woke I asked plenty of questions, and yet none of them were answered. The only thing I learned was that I was not allowed outside because the woods heald the most powerful magic on the planet, the most dangerous magic. It was more than just bad men and curiosity about the forest that got me to leave, it was a pull towards something; towards magic. Once I was in the forest turning back was never an option, so I put it in my head that I'd keep walking until I found a civilization or a nice paved road that would lead to safety. But that never happened because the forest has a force living through it. Believing that the forest held something strange was the easy part but experiencing it myself was something totally different. I didn't expect anything normal but I didn't expect to be completly engulfed into the forest. I was led by an unknown presence that made me truly believe it was a living being, and in fact it is. I was innocent then, but now I know that anything can be hidden under a small platform in the woods with a secret bigger than the world itself. I was given life that day, until it all ended months later; the day I took my last breath.

Ganama

20 parts Complete Mature

I once got a phone call from the guy I sold my truck to. He told me I had left a notebook under the passenger seat in my car, and later dropped it off at my house. While I have had blackout drunk nights, the notebook remains a mystery as to how it got there, or who wrote it. It's poorly written on blank pieces of paper that are held together by two clips. Some of the pages have grease stains on them, and others are bent, but it is none the less a treasure. In it's worn pages are the pure unaltered thoughts of a tormented stranger, hunting something supernatural he called Ganama. I don't know where this man is, how he's doing, or even his name to be honest. What I do know is this man lived a life of adventure, hardship, ultimatums, and terror. I share his story with you not so you can find him if he's alive, but so you can learn about who he is, and maybe even feel like you and him could have been friends.
