I groaned wearily: blacking out three times in a short time span really doesn’t agree with the human body. The traumatizing sensory overload definitely took its toll; every bone in my body ached and my head was pounding. What happened earlier was deeply disturbing and reinforced this awful feeling of hopelessness for my situation - I was surely in an entirely different world, dimension, whatever, and I had no means of getting home. But you have to survive, I kept repeating, trying to grasp onto the few shreds of faith I had in myself. The world was slowly being tuned from the staticy fuzziness that hummed around me to something more c

Wet. Drenched. Freezing. I hated my life in that moment. Dodging huge balls of water the size of my head was terrifying and time consuming. My hair was soaked, hell, my entire body was soaked. How was I supposed to show up to this meeting looking like I had just showered fully clothed? The wind was also so strong that it almost lifted me up with it, like a flyaway sheet of paper. Don’t go outside, the news station said, it’s not safe for humans. Well, apparently my boss didn’t get the memo, not that he cared about the safety of humans anyways. My blouse clung to my torso, and the hair that I painstakingly put into a swe

The warmed water was a welcome relief to my jittery nerves. Even though my setting was completely and utterly unfamiliar and possibly hostile, the soothing bath was still comforting. Closing my eyes, I slid under and let the water caress my skin. It took away the panic and fear from my mind, if only for a few moments. When my lungs began to burn and tighten from lack of oxygen, I broke through the surface, gasping for air. My vision was dotted with black specks as I took in the ceiling far above me. There were still so many questions in my mind, so much confusion. I still had no idea where I was and whether or not I was safe among these stran

I wasn't really sure how long I was unconscious; I drifted in and out of reality but was always aware of a throbbing pain pulsing in my body. Faces leered down at me, grinning grotesquely, and I screamed and tried to bat them away, only to hit empty air. My screams died down to muffled sobs, and I felt something warm and reassuring clasp over my hand, giving it a gentle squeeze. Everything went dark once again. Was I hungover? Was that why my head throbbed? My mouth and throat were dry and scratchy and everything on me hurt like hell. I groaned, and then immediately sat up, instantly remembering yesterday's events. The first thing I saw was

~~Flashback~~ It was a heavy weight in my hands, smooth and deceptively beautiful. The crystal practically hummed with energy, with power. I stood in the room, with the alarms blaring, red lights flashing, just utterly enraptured by it, oblivious to the world around me. The crystal let off a faint glow from within the amber depths, like it was waiting to burst into flames despite its cool surface. I held it eyelevel; it fit comfortably in the palm of my hand, but not small enough for me completely wrap my small fingers around it. “Hey, you!” Oh shit. I was jolted back to reality when the gruff yell of a rather large security gu

Lilly grunted as she pulled herself over a particularly massive rock, arms shaking from the exertion. She cautiously stood up on wobbly legs, wiping the dirt and grime from her stinging palms onto her worn jeans. She lifted her gaze from the moss-covered rock and her lips parted in surprise, eyes going wide with awe at the beautiful sight before her. Rolling hills dotted with the occasional tree faded into the distance, mountains with snow-capped peaks were just barely in sight, ginormous to the small human girl. Lilly felt a smile touch her lips as she beheld the view, the hike had certainly paid off. Brushing the black hair from her forehe
