The X Series- Chapter 1: Within the Darkness

   

     Hi? My name is.. X, or least that's what I remember. I don't really have any idea who I am. All I know is that I feel like I'm starting to lose it. I might be going crazy for all you know, and I still don't why. It all started like this.

     I was in this place. I don't know where but it feels familiar, as if it was somewhere near my hometown. It was strange. Everywhere was covered with darkness, so dark until I couldn't even see my own hand. All I could hear was eerie sounds haunting me, as if I was its prey. I was trying not to be afraid, but I didn't know where the sounds were coming from and even more, nothing was in sight. Afraid, I started to pick up my footsteps, but the sounds didn't seem to give up. It kept up with its chase, and soon enough, I was running. Yes, just like in every horror movie. I ran, and ran. Even though I didn't know where I was going, I just knew that I had to get away from the hunt. Before I knew it, I hit something that seemed like a wall, and all the sounds disappeared right at that moment.

      Thinking of it as a resting place, I slowly sat down, sliding my back on the wall. ''Finally..'' I thought, ''I'm safe''. Breathing hard, I tried to hold on to something for support. It was all calm, until something that seemed like water, was dripping on my head. Reaching to touch it, it grabbed my hand. Pulling me high up so fast I could feel my skin tearing, and the bones from within.

The X Series: In this world that struggles between fantasy and reality, everyone and anyone can be X. How many of us have been blind to our own blindness, and deaf to the loudest cry? Without realizing how each and every one of us is contributing to this thing called "society", we expect so much of others while we give nothing. The truth remains that we all have the power to make decisions, but how many of us will be responsible? In the end, will we work towards bringing light into another someone else's life?

Chapter 2 Beyond Thirst is here!
