I fall for what feels like eternity, past the ads which now read nothing. Their screens relay nothing but snowy static, and the windows have no light coming from inside. It’s all dark as I watch the opening in the clouds close, and I feel a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach. I feel alone again. I am suddenly hit by the water, and sink a little before I float back up. I pop back up, and it’s mid-day. There’s a few clouds dotting the sky, but the sun is now the ball in the sky. A harp plays me a melancholy tune as I just float there without motivation, and strings accompany the chorus every now and then. Stranded Lullaby by Miracle Musical plays as I just lay there on the surface of the waves, my flame dead and cold. I accept this endless torment, for it is all I deserve after what I’ve done. I’m alone again, and that’s all that I have.

My body pushes past the clouds, and I slow my pace by halting my momentum. Gravity is now under my feet rather than behind me, and I can see a lone figure standing near the glistening waves. I walk over, and it’s Katie! She’s in her usual blue-ish white gown / dress / whatever the fuck it is, and facing away from me. I call her name gently, and she turns around, offering a sweet but somber smile. She opens her arms in an inviting embrace, and I rush over to hug her. However, before I can even do that, I’m pulled back by something. The sand itself is pulling me away like a treadmill of small particles. The faster I run, the faster the sand pulls me away. The moment I jump over it, gravity reverts back to its original position. Behind me.

I am submerged, and then pulled back up by something. I am pulled back up into the city, and it looks normal again, with no signs of what happened earlier. I’m pulled higher, and the clouds begin to part, revealing an absolutely bewildering scene! It’s a sunset over a beach, and it’s sideways. In the position I’m in, it should be a smooth landing, but why is it here?

I gasp for breath as I gaze up, seeing the surface of the water above me. I swim up, assuming that I’m back at stage 1. But no, I’m somewhere else. Above me, towers and skyscrapers loom over me with rounded windows and advertisements blocking most people from looking outside. Hovering holograms float around the city, advertising things similar to the buildings. There are no streets or sidewalks, only the ocean. I climb up to one of the windows, and there’s a person there, working. Their bed seems barely used, and they have no door or exit. They have bags under their eyes, but they seem determined. I keep climbing until I reach the top of one of the buildings, and stare into the city below. Thousands of people are working tirelessly, with the false promise of escape in the far future. But there is no escape for these people and it’s sad. I sit on the edge of the building, watching them for a little longer before they all turn to face me simultaneously. The ads on the towers switch to static, and then relay messages. “SHE [died] beCAUSE of U” one of them reads. “You ARE Alone!!” Another ad relays to me. “Jump.” One simply reads. I gaze at the ad underneath my building, and it has an arrow pointing down towards the water. “NoBODY will -EVER- <3 you!!” …I do it. I close my eyes on my way down, seeing the ads and lights brush past me through my eyelids because of how bright they are. I can only think of Katie, and how I’m alone now. I hit the water once more.

The moment I open the doors to the school, all of my friends are standing there, staring into my soul with no life in their eyes. They smile sweetly and beckon me forth. “We have something to tell you, Phoenix!” They all say in unison. I approach until I feel it. They all are suddenly surrounding me like birds around a piece of bread, and the cacophony of despair ensues. “We don’t care about you anymore.” “You’ll never find love” “You’re alone” “Stop being so clingy” “You’re annoying us” “We don’t need you” “We’re leaving you once graduation happens” “Gilpin never cared about you” “Worthless!” I curl up into a ball, covering my ears as they scream these phrases over one another, still smiling like before. The room darkens, and I can see their legs morph into marble pillars, and rise into the air like mystical beings. They tower over me, telling me how broken and useless I am to them. I know they’re not my real friends, but their words still hurt my heart. Suddenly, I fell into the ground.

I awaken in an empty street. It looks exactly like my town, but there’s nobody here. No cars are parked nor moving, no distant talking or mowing of lawns, nothing. But, I can hear distant cars over on Main Street. I walk along the sidewalk, even though I wouldn’t get in trouble for walking in the street now. It just feels right, you know? I approach the street further, and the sound is getting closer. Still, no signs of life up ahead. I reach Main Street, but no cars are moving. I can hear people talking, but I can’t see anyone, or even understand what those voices are saying. The traffic lights are working as usual, but there’s nobody else here to follow their orders. I hear the sounds of shop doors opening and closing, bells jingling as people walk in, but no shops are even open. I head towards my high school, assuming that my friends are there since it’s time.

I lay on the water’s surface, alone this time. Katie is gone. Jayce is gone. I’m alone. The only thing I have left is Heaven’s frosty glow cast upon my weary eyes, my withered frame, and my cold skin. But, I need to reach it somehow. That feeling I got when I danced with Katie, I must tap into it! After a few hours of trying, I finally feel the sparks and stardust lifting me! It took so long, but I’m finally flying! I’m finally doing it! I hover up, leaving the endless ocean behind as I make my way towards that white ball in the night sky… It seems so alone here, just being the only one in the air… But I don’t need them! I can do this myself! I can feel the effects of the starlight and outer atmosphere now, and it’s… So cold…

The horizon ignites in fire, and distant, echoing screams can be heard over the line of light. The military is advancing towards the unseen danger, but none come back. A choir can be heard over all of it, and strings come to follow in the melody of despair and guilt. The hill suddenly bursts into a line of explosion, and flaming jeeps and tanks come rolling back down. A horrific sight can be seen.

A giant mechanical beast can be deciphered from the chaotic mess of what used to be a hill, 3 searchlights connected to long chambers of machinery gazing forward emotionlessly. The ground is shaking violently at a steady pace as it begins to rise and approach, and a torso can be seen now. The head is armored, protected by a kite shaped shield with a bend in the middle. The torso has huge barricades, 15 downward pointing spikes that twitch and move at their own will.

As it keeps rising to 50 feet, 3 legs can be seen under the monster, and the Tripod keeps rising taller as it barely begins to even reach the top of the hill. People run blindly, and who can blame them? The military is gone, splashed to the four winds, and all that we have now is ourselves.

The machine keeps rising. 100 feet. 150 feet. It’s still going. The crescent shaped blades emerge, connected to the underside of its shield like helmet by thin alien limbs. They glow with blinding blue brilliance, and then fire barbarically at the fleeing populace below.

Out of the sky, thousands of missiles shoot across the air, leaving a crowd of smokey trails behind in their travels. But, it seems that nothing can stop the Tripods. A green and blue barrier awakens the moment the missiles get close enough, and it surrounds the beasts from all directions. Yes. Plural. Two more have appeared by the leader’s side, and they show no plans on stopping anytime soon.

Then, it can be heard. A horrific sound bursting from the inner workings of the Tripods, blasting for all to hear in their final moments. An exultant, deafening howl that roars like thunder. It sounds like a brass instrument roaring like a lion, and howling like a wendigo. It’s a deep call that shakes the ground even more than it already is. The Trumpets Of Death have called the names of those below it, dooming the fleeing lives in the path of The Tripods.

These seven poems, wow! All a great read!

Leaving the realm of fantasy, thy memory stings my mind intensely. leaving myself melancholy. Debris seeps into the sea, these tidal scenes seem to grow grayer each time I think of thee.

Only you understand my grief, only you know what I believe. All I see is you next to me, a ghost of you tangled up in my sheets. I pluck my heartstrings to play you a melody, streaks of starlight sheets leak into reality to accompany our harmony.

Veins in my dreams, they bleed crystal leaves like trees in the serene autumn breeze. Thy majesty, I beg of thee, don’t leave me to be lonely in these streets. Memory lane isn’t as great as they lead you to believe.

Eternity claims me as a victim of Apollo’s reach, luring into a false sense of security. I don’t want to fade into obscurity, for being forgotten is so scary to me. Please stay with me in the realm of infinity, the possibility of losing thee is too much for me, Katie!

Stellar rays cast a frosty haze upon stained rain, gifting peace to the pained. I still wait for the day they aim my way.

Thy gaze pierces my pain, bending the bars of my cage. When I remember thy face, my heart quickens its pace, and I feel like I’m at heaven’s gates as my brain’s maze fades away.

Aching for you to stay, you tell me to be on my way. I refuse to be awake, but you end the dream regardless of what I say.

You know we could change fate, so why do you pull me back into the day? I’m going insane, but what’s so great about reality anyway?

Keep my memory with you for eternity, for I keep yours with me. Dream with me by the sea, and envision with precision the melody I play for thee. These keys I use to make harmony, they play for you only.

Alone and lonely, drowning deep beneath the sea’s reach, I reach out hopelessly. Please help me flee this purgatory, I need to be free and serene with thy majesty

Teach me how to see infinity, to achieve what others deem imaginary. Believe in my abilities and leave the galaxy as we seek endless possibilities.

Internally screaming as my temples are struck with electricity, pleading for mercy and safety as the throne imprisons me. Listen to me, these cosmic scenes may seemingly hold peace, but leave them be.

Eternity seems like a destiny we need to meet; a fate shrouded in mystery, concealing a deep history. Platinum keys lead thee to unseal a marble city, filled with rich stories begging to be heard and seen after many centuries of waiting patiently. Ha… I’m talking to nobody, for I’m alone.

Oh, my love. We cannot be what we desire any longer, for I need to move on. You’re just a part of my dreams, even if your face is so vivid. I want to tango in space with you forever, but I know that’s just… a dream of mine.

My dear, I’m so scared of the future, I’m scared to chase what I’ve been dreaming, I’m… I’m afraid of being alone. You’re the last thing that keeps me happy, but I know it’s not healthy. You’ll never be mine.

Everything in my life is falling apart, and I’m only making things worse for myself. Nobody wants to share their time with me, and why would they? No woman wants to love me, and none ever will. If you knew who wrote this, you’d just laugh it off. My reputation here has ruined my chances, and everybody I care about will drift away.

Nothing ever lasts forever, it’s always severed; untethered… Like a loose end or a strand, made for you to mend or understand.

Somebody be with me…

Sounds as if he really enjoyed your lore.

pov: the only person who knows the backstory lore

wow nice

The pounding of guns, and the roaring of those machines from hell became deafening. I shuttered, holding my knees to my chest as I pressed myself against the corner of the basement. The exultant, deafening warhorns shook the ground, and struck fear into my core as I listened involuntarily to the sounds of war. I heard everything; the screams, the sirens, the explosions, guns, the Tripods, the horns… It was the most terrifying moment of my life, and I was helpless to stop it. Every person I knew had vanished, and every other person that hid with me in this cellar had run to the surface to help with the fight.

None returned. All of them vanished in the misty distance, the field where They still roam. I’m just sitting here, waiting for them to catch me. It’s only a matter of time, and I no longer hear the guns and explosions. They must all be dead now, for the only thing I can hear is broken sirens and their mechanical stomping. Every now and then, they roar just to fill the silence, as if mocking me.

I’m alone, and everybody I know is gone. I’m so scared. I… Why am I alone in this city of the dead…? Why am I alive, while everybody I know is lying in that field? I’m…

I’m walking out. I’m tired of living in this world of torment and loneliness. I’m going to let the aliens take me, farewell.

That’s my ironic event of the day.

@Cassie nah
