Breath
Thyra blinks her eyes open. Light sparkles in rainbows around her. A far away tapping is coming from her left and she stiffly turns her head towards the sound. The motion vaguely hurts, but the light is so beautiful that the pain feels far away, like a distant memory, something she is trying to remember, but can’t.

The Lapse in Judgement
The Lapse in Judgement After nearly dying because Rina had slid off the icy road into a snowbank, barely a foot away from a tree and four feet away from a river, she thought it would be rather hilarious if a wild animal lunged from within the dark forest and ate her alive. There would be a cruel irony of surviving one incident just to be taken out by the second one.She had predicted the crash would happen before it had even occurred. Anyone who challenges their fatality cannot be surprised when the weakness of mortality becomes unquestionable. She was pushing the fates in a game she knew she w...
