"Empathy is about finding echoes of another person in yourself" -Mohsin Hamid ○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○ Have you ever felt another person's emotions? Have you ever truly understood the feelings that reside deep within their hearts? Born with an ability to feel others emotions with just 3 seconds of eye contact, Aaron lives in the woods with his 'guardian', far away from the city and the people. Frustrated with his powers, he calls it a curse that prevents him from being normal and experiencing his own emotions. That is until he meets the only person whose emotions he does not feel, a girl, who ironically begs to be understood and understand others. Obsessed with her, he tries to learn more about her, all the while facing his fears and making new friends. But when a dead body is discovered by the police, everything they knew and believed comes crashing down.

My Imaginary Friend

Sometimes, a person can feel lonely even while being surrounded by people. I, on the other hand, have never been surrounded by people, because if anything, I preferred feeling alone without anyone. Or more like being alone with my imaginary friend. I created Jayden in my mind back when I was nine years old. For most of my life, I transferred schools non-stop in hopes to have a better social life, at least that's what my parents wished for me to have. Unfortunately for them, I already gave up on that. I simply continued talking to Jayden, the only friend I ever had since childhood. And it just kept going as it was... until it didn't. ~~~ ~This story is dedicated to my younger self.
