Darkness came like the thick velvet curtains of the theatre. It was as if the daytime had been one part of a play and the rest was to come after this intermission of night. She let her eyes wander the furniture, the audience to the dramas played out in that room, to the highs and lows of emotions, and to the love that dwelt in that house. As usual she wandered to the window to gaze at the stars, to peek into the universe... the spectacle that was given when all else was taken... as if commanding her to look and feel both her smallness and her oneness with something greater. The dark room was like a place out of time, a place to rest without consequence. It was there in that way was a sanctuary, a place to recharge and forget the things the world said had to be done. It wasn't that she couldn't or wouldn't, but rather that she needed that sense of stepping out of the craziness for a while. So, in the darkness that stole even her own form, she was content to let the night pass and awa
Owen frowned as a thought played on his mind. "Mother, what exactly is your plan?" He was pacing around the room, arms akimbo. "There is a grown woman down here in our house!" He yelled out unable to contain the fear that resided in his heart. With a wave of her hand, Evelyn replied him. "Relax, it's only going to be for a couple of hours. And then, everything will be just fine. It depends though." She said, eyes fixated on her phone. "On what?" Owen asked. "On whether Regina misses her daughter or not." Replied Evelyn. Then she sighed. "Listen, if she calls me on time, we strike our plan. If not, then... Well whatever! But, I'll wait a few hours longer, tell her I heard from a trusted source that she was searching for her daughter, then we stage up a rescue mission and she trusts us and then... Voila!""It sounds so easy now that you've mentioned it. But still... This is a very complicated plan!" "Oh jeez! Don't you want to end up with that woman again?" Evelyn shot him a fierce g
When Fernando saw her, he feared the woman had come to give him more trouble again. Nothing good had ever came out from Evelyn snooping around in his vicinity. "I take it that you're not here to join me for dinner," he said, trying hard to hide the anger behind his tone. For some reason, a fool had thought it would be better if she was given some sort of powers. Despite knowing the type of person this woman was exactly! He hated that fact and want he hated the most was that she could do and undo now that she has powers. He was starting to picture her as some super villain or one of those evil queens in fantasy books when she cut him off with a question. He didn't hear her though and so he asked again, carefully so he doesn't hurt her feeling. "I was only asking, Fernando. It's been ages since you promised me exactly what I've been demanding from you. It's starting to anger me, really." She repeated, but he still wasn't following. His brows arched and he stared as if she were some
She wasn't afraid of the young man, but when he had suddenly entered, she had the will to stop talking immediately. He said nothing but only stared with menacing eyes. Evelyn said nothing too, until the silence was broken by Doris. "Oh you're back," she said, then walked over to him to hug him, or kiss him, Evelyn couldn't tell at the moment. For some reason, it annoyed her. She cleared her throat, and still said nothing. Nathan coughed, then whispered something to Doris who immediately jumped to her feet and scurried into the living room. Then he walked his way over to Evelyn and took a seat with her. She eyed him carefully and wondered if he had really not regained his memories or not. Then he spoke, and an air of creepiness suddenly rose up all over her skin. "Mother," he said, waiting for her to say something in return. Evelyn coughed and swallowed. "I am not really your mother--" she was still saying, until the next series of discussion broke into something else she would
Isla hadn't called. Why would she? She was a fan of Nathan now and cared so little to what someone like Evelyn would be feeling. All she wanted was for Nathan to win the battle at long last. When Evelyn walked up to check who had been knocking, she nearly fainted seeing who it was.When we become great teachers of emotional intelligence we will delete the alt-right. When we explain how their new linguistics is acting as an catalyst for emotional indifference - the biological opposite of love - people will start to question how these subcultures are recoding and reprogramming their brains into isolated emotional spaces where they cannot access the love they need for good health. "Wrongthink" is made of "wrong" and "think" and will both ping the amygdala and (in some people) the PAG. This changes brain chemistry and traps people into their primitive brains, the parts that will prepare them for genocide and war, the parts that are incapable of empathy, logic and self control - all of t
The weather that day had been so warm in recent days, the air so velvety on the skin. It was a spa from the time the light filters over the hills until it too took its rest. Clouds drifted by on the most relaxed of breezes, helping the eyes to appreciate the bluebird sky all the more. The rain, when it came, alighted as softly as the shoes of a ballet dancer, adorning and rejuvenating the only stage that matters. Waking up in that changing canvass of weather and foliage, of birdsong and playful wind, even the subtle shifts in light patterns brought interest for the eye. On the days of rain hedgerow is a new palette of greens, from softly new to strong and deep. Each leaf has a glossy shine as pretty as any magazine photograph. Yet in the sunshine every colour comes into focus, a picture perfect blue above to complimented the world it greets.Just as that day had been calm and cool, Nathan knew that he wanted to visit Fernando. What better day than one that made the mind and soul to r
When Parker Ryan was feeling triggered the world and everyone it is behind fifty feet of glass. Loving bonds became inaccessible. In this mode he had to take great care not to damage bonds of love, the relationships and people who are everything to his heart and soul. For in time the glass disappears and his love returns. The rain had lost the ambient temperature of early fall, freezing and palings in his skin on contact. The path through the park is muddy water in motion, filling deep puddles that hide the ruts of dryer weather. To feel it isn't enjoyment, not fun like the gentle sunshine of springtime, yet it is a part of life and she want to feel it just the same. She want to experience each drop, together and apart, same and different. She wanted to see the droplets soaking her eyelashes before they join their brethren on the ground like saltless tears. She need to be in this, chaotic and wild, just like her mind and soul - like nature looked right into me and pulled the weather
Finally, he was at Fernando's apartment already, and he couldn't help but admire the entire setting. What was supposed to be his, was all Fernando's now. Birds trill, sweetly high, the chorus as playful as the birds themselves. With closed eyes, one could imagine their music to be colours, painting stairs in the same way grapevines grow - this way and that, in a beautiful chaos that isn't quite random. In the calm of the day, his heartbeat was the steady drum to their melody and he seep into the moment, allowing himself to climb those rainbow stairs. He can feel the fear in his chest waiting to take over. Perhaps it only wants to protect him but there really isn't any danger. It sits there like an angry ball propelling him towards an anxiety he just don't need. He switch the radio off and get out of the car. The air is sweet, the weather is fine, there are birds in the sky and he can hear water not far away. He should be on his way to work he know, but today he just want to smell th
