I am going to start writing short stories, really short stories, and they will be continued and built upon on receiving enough claps.

Here is the first one, enjoy!

No Man’s Tale #1

I am in a dream or maybe I am a dream. I cannot remember anything, if I try to remember, there is this mind piercing headache.

By the way, who is this girl sitting across the table? The girl asked me, "hey, would you like to eat a chocolate? " She pushed something toward me, before I realized my hand had grabbed the bar, my mouth was chewing, millions of pieces of "chocolate" were melting upon my tongue and I could tell each one had a similar but unique taste. Someone in my head asked, "Why am I eating chocolate? and who is this girl? " I focused so intensely that every creature in the room was looking at me. And, then something happened.

I remembered the person. Her name is Ryla, and now that I really look at her face , her eyes are sunken as if she had been sleep deprived from ages, she has a kind of goth look about her or maybe it was just the setting of the room full of monsters that had that strange impression on me. But what the hell was I doing here in this weird situation with this goth girl? She replied before I could ask her, "you’re a projection of random thoughts onto a dimensional hyperplane, not that it matters, but you shouldn’t try to remember anything about your past, the more you remember the rapid will be the change". I didn’t understood a single word she said but I could tell she was being ernest. I swallowed.

She continued, "We are currently in a nest of monsters, and for some reason, the monsters are cautious but soon they will be upon us, and we will take our last breath while going down their throats. As for why we are here, even I am unaware of the reason behind that, but if I were to guess, then you probably did something and we ended up here. But don’t try to remember anything because your hippocampus isn’t good enough to hold short term memories, you can try to remember things from your long term memory, but you will reset your short term memory as well as personality in the process, personality is a trait of short term memory, so don’t try to remember unless we are in a dire need, but if you do, we will be back to square zero and I will have to explain it all over again. So, brace yourself, and remember just enough to get us out of this monster horde!"

This girl was funny, she almost had me there. But now after hearing all this, I was feeling strange, it is like I have all these voices in my head, a million,? a billion? infinite. All of these voices are whispering to me, but the more I try to focus, the more I float out of my body. I have to get my bearings right, and try to remember what I did to get stuck inside a monster horde.
