You woke up that morning with a heavy feeling in your chest. You felt as though someone was sitting on your chest. You dragged yourself out of bed and to the stairs‚ your father [1] was sitting at the table with two of your siblings. You couldn’t shake the feeling of heaviness in your chest. Your family members only paid you mind upon hearing your bare feet hitting the cold wood floor. You rubbed your sunken tired eyes‚ slowly walking down the steps. " Good morning [Y/N]!" you looked up

Sun light shown brightly through the blinds covering the window‚ I let my eyes flutter to clear my vision before I realized where I was. Rylee was peacefully asleep in my arms‚ she looked so happy and calm but I knew what was about to happen. I had to leave‚ never come back and never see her face again. I felt my eyes tear up‚ the only reason last night happened was because we knew that I was leaving and we wouldn’t ever have that opportunity again. I moved slowly away from her and off the couch

As she stood there‚ light in her face‚ she squirmed a bit under the pressure. She heard only a few gruff voices from the crowd‚ the men only offering measly bids. She knew her father had been wrong about the bids he would receive. Nobody wanted a poor man’s daughter. Not in such a society that was so fixated on social status. She knew her breeding was horrendous for those who cared. When she was younger it never mattered‚ not even to her parents. When her mother was alive‚ her father wasn’t a drunkard

One day before the system was released… An individual shot through what appeared to be a glowing blue circle. Woosh! A burst of air carried the shadow. Crashing downwards at a frighteningly quick pace. Passing one grove of trees again and again the figure fell stumbling beyond the likes of branches and leaves. Flowing through them as if it were water‚ if water were sharp and pointy. It slowed his rate of descent. The figure lightly gritted his teeth as he was thrown to the base of the forest

Imagine hearing the opening guitar riff to one of the hit songs by the world’s most dangerous band. Watching the Duff‚ King of Beers‚ McKagan or Slash jumping around on stage.

Try watching it from the side stage‚ nervously waiting for your band’s turn to take the stage. It’s nerve racking! What if you mess up and sing the
