When Crystal finally woke up in the cold, sterile, white painted room she couldn't remember how she got there.
She examined her surroundings, the neon lights -one of it was flickering, almost imitating a thunderbolt and heavily disturbing her-the neutral furniture and closed windows-the reason why the air was as thick as the curtains beside the windows.
She tried to remember.
How.
She got here.
What.
happened.
Who.
She was.
But she couldn't remember anything.
Except the hungry flames of a fire, licking over the rooftop of a familiar building and feeding on the wooden planks.
What the hell happened?

She Danced under the Stars ✔
She was a young dancer. I found her diary as I was exploring a cellar in an old building. She loved to dance on the rooftops at night with her best friend Lily. Some people say that she still does. According to the diary, everything spiralled out of control when she and her best friend Lily encountered that guy behind the apartment complex. I'm serious: beware of that dancer when she wanders the streets in the dead of night. She's looking for the one who fed on her life and stole her innocence--the one that she feels so confused about. If you're tall and wearing a hoodie or something like that, she might mistake you for him. You don't want this to happen. I still don't know who or what she is exactly. Maybe you should make up your own mind: this story is the diary I found. I typed it into my computer and attached the documents that were in my possession. By the way, beware of that guy too: dealers of a new kind have been roaming the neighbourhood lately. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- © 2018 Violetta Liddell All Rights Reserved.Complete
The Painting
"It took me five seconds to fall. The impact on my chest jarring my body but not my mind. I suppose this is the point where your life is supposed to flash before your eyes as time itself freezes - and it did in a way. But I didn't relive my life physically like walking through an old memory, déjà vu in each step. It was a feeling, something that started in my chest and spread to my fingertips, one so unique to me that it encapsulated each significant event into one single second." For as long as May can remember one mystery has haunted her world. A dirty window before her, the grim obstructing her vision, she has lived with a loss she can't identify - that is until one rainy night. Gradually the spots of dirt May scratched at for so long wipe away with the touch of a finger. But when she looks in will she like what she sees - or will curiosity kill the cat?Complete
