*huff* *huff* it's..been... How long exactly? I can't remember. Searching for my friends is starting to seem so hopeless now. "I just want to take a break!", I cried out My body drenched in sweat was aching all over from running around all over the resort. "Agh! I haven't sat down in hours, *sighs* where in the world has everyone disappeared to?" Now, I started to observe my surroundings, and I realized it was the reception of the resort which was the last place I hadn't searched in yet. I knew that the lack of employees during my hours of the search was suspicious but the reception where employees were supposed to be... was deserted! "H-how can this be even the reception?" It seemed as if people fled away from this place and abandoned everything behind! It wasn't hard to tell, since all the things were pretty messy, I could hear the sound from the running tap water, see the suitcases lying around which were probably of new visitors, and room keys lying across the furniture w
The illusion of Hope 2-The Reunion
It was finally the day we were all supposed to meet.So why am I up at 5 am?The thing is, I have been experiencing nightmares every day and I haven't been able to properly sleep for weeks. I can see fragments of my unsettling nightmares in real life sometimes. These nightmares have occurred since my childhood, which is odd but I haven't had this much trouble sleeping since I was a child. I have met many psychiatrists and had therapy for this issue alone. But it was useless and eventually, my concern for it faded over time since it did not affect my real life as much.Until now of course.This was the reason why I decided to agree to that trip. I'm hoping that it helps me relax over time and relieve my nightmares. *sighs*I turned over to the side and saw a shadowy figure sitting right at the corner of my bed.My body turned stone cold and I could feel my goosebumps rising."Fu..ck am I still dreaming? what the hell is going on?!!" I mumbled Without thinking much, I almost immedia
The illusion of Hope 3-The Gaze
*pit* *pat* Huh? Something just fell in my eye? Is it raining? I moved my arm to wipe the drop of water from my eyelid "agh, sh..it, my body hurts!" I groaned with a raspy throat How strange, it seems I fell asleep under the tree while recalling the memories from the time before we came here. Come to think of it, how long have I been asleep? My eyes were still shut closed. I didn't wish to open them. Why? I was hoping that everything that took place in that dreadful resort was just another figment of my imagination, Perhaps, another nightmare, just like the ones I have had before. I wished that when I opened my eyes I would be in my bed at my home. Starting to get ready for my daily life-sucking desk job. But the reality was far different than my imagination. I understood that when I slowly opened my eyes. I was disheartened that every horrifying thing I have experienced until now was real as I was still lying under the tree I slept under before. It was gently drizzling
The illusion of Hope 4-The Corpse
Her cloudy and white, expressionless eyes stared right at mine. I could neither scream nor run. All of my senses and reasoning went into chaos as I started to realize those eyes looked a little too familiar to a friend of mine, Faye. I unwillingly began to recall those memories I tried to bury deep inside. How could I ever forget that day? 6 years earlier "Faye! Get it together the customers will be here soon!" Screamed a lady while pouring herself a drink "Yes, mother" Faye muttered while cleaning the floor with an old and worn-out mop. Faye worked in her mom's old struggling cafe called the 'Dream Room' and proceeded with her studies along with it. Her mother owned the cafe but was usually never there. Skylar somehow came across this isolated run-down cafe when he was running in the small alleys trying to get away from the pouring rain. Ever since then he would often visit the cafe after school was over. Faye was a shy and reserved girl so she found Skylar's actions weird
The illusion of Hope 5-The Clutches
My body became paralyzed from fear Is she... Dead?! It was a normal thing to wonder about when your friend looks like a corpse and does not have a pulse! No! I refuse to believe it! How can she be... In a quick motion; I stretched my arm forward and tried to feel her breathing again... Her hair was in the way So I lifted the dangling blonde hair from her forehead Huh?! What is that? Some shiny green thing was attached to her skin in the middle of her forehead As I raised my fingers to touch it just out of sheer curiosity *smack* My body froze Huh...?! I slowly looked down, only to find the 'corpse' of supposedly dead Faye grabbing my hand and staring right at me only this time her eyes are wider than before and more menacing! My voice got stuck in my throat and it felt like my heart would pop out any second! *gulp* I forgot how to scream! I had no way of knowing what was happening in front of me Fuck being dead or alive! Is she even human anymore?! I slowly steppe
The illusion of Hope 6-The Unknown
"What is that?" I mumbled to myself as I stared at the light glow of the stone Unwillingly I started walking toward it I felt a familiar feeling radiating from it As I tried to take another step forward I was hit by striking pain in my injured foot "Aaaghh!" 'ugh, damn- it seems my foot was in a much more bad shape than I had assumed!' I grabbed onto the counter for support and hopped towards the shiny green stone The longer I looked at it, the more ominous it started to feel But like a moth drawn to a flame, I was enchanted by it as well... I knelt with the support of the counter and tried to identify the stone 'Is it a gem? A small emerald perhaps? But do emeralds always glow like this? It's also suspicious how it was attached to Fay's forehead when she...' the thought of her being turned into some sort of unnatural abnormality made my mood miserable I stopped my train of thought and decided to stay away from it, despite my overflowing curiosity... 'Whatever it is, I ha
