I'd always heard the voices. From being a young child when the doctors had long since given up trying to find a cause, the voices woke me, screaming, in the night.
But then, they began to guide me. When I started to find the dead bodies - animals, children - I was called a psychic. I was used to help, but I could only find what the voices wanted to show me.
But then, one day, the killer chose another victim. It chose me, and only the voices could save me.
Except, they weren't just voices.

Whilst on a long (7.5) hour flight to Wattpad HQ in Toronto, I was watching the film Solace. Part way through, an idea threw itself into my mind and I had to stop the film and start writing immediately. I also had another idea later on, again which I had to write down. This is the first of those ideas and is written for the #OnceUponNow promotion. Don't worry, Red Queen is being worked on too, but sometimes you just need to purge yourself of a story to be able to continue on with another.

I had met him. Taehong, I mean. Not once; not twice. But three times. As explicit meetings, of course. Each encounter so different they would seem worlds apart. Each phase bringing such a drastic change in him, I wondered whether it really was the boy I had met before.
An enticing recounting of one of the most eventful things, since I had started.
It's a small story, really. But don't trust me. Trusting me doesn't save you from reaching the end. Beware, I make promises I can not keep; it's my liability. And also, my strength. Because once you believe me, you might not want to cross me.
