Either way, the register of the faceless’ voice comes deep and childish, as if it came from a badly dubbed television show from a different country. There is a confusing sense of familiarity and distance in the way he understood his other versions words that it only registered that what he was listening to, the voice, came from the singer in the earphones his past self was listening to.
Since the song currently playing had the same voice, he could only blink at the realization and more for the fact it spoke to him with an understanding of common English and sarcasm. He settled sitting like he had been forced to sit up straight, his back now leaning forward as he rest his elbows on his knees. Staring straight at his other self, the words, “what the hell, so you can talk?? Why are you just silent?”

“Do you also remember that yummy woman with him??” The faceless Horaz piped as it showed its face dangerously near to Horaz.He didn’t realize it but the faceless who sat on the opposite side of the room had placed itself beside Horaz, on the bed, with an air of excitement oozing from its featureless face. The hair that lay on top of its head was the hair that he had when he was younger, short, cut four-by-four, and filled with dandruff.The skin on its face was eerily smooth that Horaz broke his expression with disgust while faceless him said, “she smelled so sweet and utterly delectable. She’s so tempting I could swear she was the right one for me. Right?” Words the faceless uttered, though understandable, are becoming slurred the more he spoke. Until he noticed that faceless was becoming agitated.“Do you realize how it’s become like this?” It suddenly asked as Horaz wanted to inch away but g

The bed Horaz sat on with faceless suddenly shook, both donning an expression of surprise. The room turned into a field of the park near the cemetery and the two sat separately on a seesaw. The metal bars continued to shift going up and down between the two with great variation, sending the sensation of their bodies into a ticklish sense of tingle in their stomach.This sensation brings a familiarity that collects butterflies in the pit of his stomach that rose to the edge of his throat. Bile could have given him the same sensation, but he knew that it wasn’t puke or a real vomit, but rather a surge of any other form or word for excitement. His nerves shot in anticipation but eased into stasis as the sensation passed by in a blink of an eye.“Exciting,” said faceless. They continued to play with the seesaw by speeding up their pump to their legs forcing the upward motion to happen faster. “Did you feel that? This time it’s th

Hi, Nate here! Updates on the story will continue through out the month with one day off and the rest of the six days will have an update. Thought our story is still far from the ending mark, we'll still follow through our citizens world until they discover the truth for their predicament.I say predicament, but their everyday lives are too common then tipped over the scales with something bizarre :DSomehow, the erotica parts of the story is borderline fetish and noncensensual. To that, I have to note that perhaps I should be dubbing the sub genre to be psychological in the long run? Anywho, the mix of characters in this story is becoming boundless to the point I might have to resort to killing others if I cannot fix my problem of having a hard time dismissing or ending their in-story-goals.Nate

The couple, as planned, spent their night in the house for a few days but this was the only night that Izobra and Zerkalo did not join the caretakers with their dinner. Usually, they joined them with cooking and cleaning, but things grew a bit off plan when they heard the warning signal in the center area of the business district. Specifically, one sector they do not particularly pass or go thru is the one with several expensive commercial buildings.The moment the warning started, Izobra looked alarmed that she excused herself in a blink, leaving the children quite confused and left to their devices answering their fun workbook. She entered the house to find Zerkalo waiting for her in their room.“What is it?” Izobra asked but looked at the area of the countertop where a tablet holder was seating a white tablet. The device is connected to three cords on the wall, all are not for charging.“There’s a Radial Ultima, bordering

Izobra sat on the bed looking over her husband lying down on the capsule as her skin felt the cold exuding from the exhausts fitting on the sides of the chair frame. Being left alone to monitor her husband’s body always feels nostalgic from the level of worry and confidence she has in his capabilities in the digital side of their world. Though she couldn’t know enough about how digital astral projection happens for him, she knows that it’s quite a feat for his system to manage software and program adjustments by this method.She only knows that by using a boundary absurdly “forgotten” in this day, and age, he can intertwine the reality of browsing through the interconnected web of data plus the concept of supernaturally representing his identity in the form of intangible presence in the likeness of his human form. Being not a pioneer but at least from an era that lived with such a technology and method, Izobra could not deny that F-

Chapter 32The hour that passed was the longest-held breath of a few conscious citizens of C-city, regarding the incident, for this will be a test of the government’s control of information, panic, and the economy that has been threatened to sway in the clear distraction of the unreal situation. Fear of the unknown is a card that could be easily swayed with the right kind of information to spread thick around the crowd of consumers. Building the story is easy if it was long-running, which in the case of the incident, has been getting its underground information spread in the exact amount those in power imagined the masses can digest.Among the many who will be affected by this are the possible humans that have shown signs that they are infected by the “Dimension Pocket” incident but will never show signs, as what Belle could tell with his body.

Small-stature wobbled from their place in shock and confusion. They could hear voices, words they thought would not be possible to understand even if they have a sprinkle of memories of being able to say such things, such words. Vocabulary had almost slipped their still able memory of what they seem to perceive as their selves before this blind-like body.Their comrade underlings did not comprehend the creature in front of Small-stature, making them react in a scared way, almost darting to scurry in escape. Managing to hail them back into the premise of Small-stature’s vicinity was easy, what with One-arm herding them back to where they are.“My, forgive me. It seems like you are a newborn to this body.” Soft-spoken, as Small-stature calls them, listened to them say. “Let me soothe your worries, we are not here to relish harm upon our fellow. Rather, guide them.”Hearing and understanding what Soft-spoken said took about a few seconds of Small-stature’s comprehension, but their underl

Two presences from the premise disappeared when the small-statured creature sensed the sensation of an optimal sound and light came from underneath the ground. There was a pause as they waited for the arrival of this, oh so, comforting resonance.Anticipation. Tension. Pause.There was a definite halt in their senses when another sensation overpowered their most awaited event, that was just been triggered moments ago. Because of this, they knew that there was something wrong. Something that would bring them great demise and abandonment, even if they know they could survive without this “thing.”Grasping this “thing” was an answered prayer they knew would be something that could help develop their comrades and these sweet-scented underlings of theirs. Telling them that they would grow and develop into better creatures that could well benefit each other. Without words, just sounds and resonance, deeds.Still, they could not help but waver in tenacity when they felt the loss of this “thi

Waking up in another body is hellish beyond comparison. Imagine opening your eyes to blindness you didn't know existed, with the light coming from nowhere and everywhere. You don't see with your eyes, but you feel the world ten times stronger with nothing but your body who is sensitive to every kind of noise. Magic would have been more believable than realizing that your blindness is not caused by pain of any internal kind, but by your eyes absorbed inside your skull, sunken deep. Protected by a layer of skin thin but tough, while a substance within shakes and serves to stay it in place. Something moved within their skull, surreal but they could feel it moving with every shake and stir as if a jar of pickles with one pickle inside swimming in its vat of juice. Why am I comparing pickle to my situation? Calming themselves was easy, they “breathed” slow and steady, through a nose they could not feel or sense its presence on their face, but they know its there. Wildly adjusting their t

Nothing beats being human and wanting nothing but to satiate your day with all the good comfort food that lives in your head, at least the ones you’ve tasted before.He has been yearning to eat more than raw meat, which his tongue and throat burned from the bitter taste, not sweet or delectable, but bitter and tangy at the same time. The youth of sixteen years has not tasted flesh the same way it’s described with a raw steak, though he prefers well done, he probably would have had the chance to taste raw steak in the time his family would celebrate special occasions.But he prefers well-done steak, baked beans, and the occasional tacos on the weekends.

“Stand… down,” Akyl said slowly to the escorts. Her eyes watched the one arm that clung to the tail.She could tell that the tail, or the identity that controlled it, is strong today. There must be a correlation between their method of physical examination and their tail’s response to their body. Rather, she could sense that Horaz is just realizing that there was more to the process happening in his Primer body and just noticing it now.The other escorts, with guns that bore metal ammunition, followed through but the tranquilizer bearer did not ease his aim. The escort shook his head in rejection of her request and Akyl had to acknowledge this.Purce stood still, feeling her tension, more from fear, stiffen her body. The only part that could move was her eyes and she watched in anticipation if the doctor would do something first, or the Primer’s tail.Because, by now, she could see that the Primer is not just fighting the tail but struggling to keep its hold.

The confines of Horaz’s room remained cold with the sprinkle of “nature’s touch,” meaning the occasional soil and other debris that could serve as “entertainment options.” Noticing the Primer consciousness be a creature of boredom was one the laboratory did not expect, and so did Horaz.Discovering this was not hard to conclude when the Primer tends to play and hunt the staff and escort that enters its domain whenever they feed or try to clean his “room.” At most, if they didn’t leave any kind of living creature to distract the Primer during its stay in the laboratory, the likeliness of it trying to destroy their place seemed likelier.Reina remembered the kind of creature the first Primer was, despite staying for only a few days in their presence. This alpha Primer did things in calculated actions as if, the creature itself wanted things to go their way so it could pretend to give them what they want.She concluded this according to how the staff then felt its actions were much devis

Purce had to double take, knowing that the answer used, one thump of any body part meant “no.” Hastily, she signaled to Elbi that Horaz – the human consciousness, did not agree to the next procedure.Because of this, Moss suddenly wondered why the electrical current request they were aiming to control, and monitor stopped. She saw from her peripheral that Dr. Akyl left her post, the other touchscreen panel, and approached Elbi and Purce.Elbi was adjusting the program, already on its way to booting up enough electrical charges in the ideal percent, but an abrupt stop in this charging requires a reset for the application and machine. Because if it did not stop and proceed to use for its intended purpose, it would go haywire or overflow.The very machine of the gurney can only hold enough electrical charge, the extra energy that flows through the needles are nodes that cannot let one charge in it stay still.
