Submitted to Contest #95

Ever wake up in the morning and think, "Wow! What a beautiful day, everything that I ever had an issue with is completely gone and I feel normal and sane!" Yup. Me neither.

Submitted to Contest #49

Jacinda always seemed to be in a daydream, lost adrift in her mind, fantasising the day away, but about what? What did Jacinda think about? What did she waste countless hours on? Who knows? Well, Jacinda knows. Ever since she was old enough to have a thought, which was unusually early for a "normal" person she had only ever thought about one thing, some say it drove her to madness, some say it drove to resolution, but Jacinda will tell you herself, it drove her to the very literal end of the road. Growing up in a claustrophobic city, barely ...
