I’m sitting in an alleyway, gasping for breath as my chest feels like it’s closing in on me. Something terrible had happened. I shouldn’t be here.
Should I even exist at all?
I hear yelling and crying out, words full of anger and disgust. Until the vague shapes I can only guess are humans stop their rageful fits, and turn to look at me.
“Oh no . . .” one mumbles, lifting me up from the rough ground. Their arms were strong and for a brief moment I felt safe.
Until, like always, they smiled, and their mouth split open into one terrifying eye, and down I went, sucked into the vortex of the universe. The cold dev

Pool (Blood Runs Thicker than Water Pt 6)
The ride to Josie’s house was a short one, but it felt like an eternity. Alpheus’ large head rested on my lap, and he was breathing heavily through both methods. His gills fanned out in a beautiful display of delicate lace and weaving, but I knew that despite the intricacy, that was a bad sign. I had no idea how long he would last outside of water. I hoped it was long.
His vibrant scales of tropical blue and deep jungle green began to take on a sheen of sad, stormy gray, and he began to tremble. Worry struck me deeply.
“Josie, hurry!” I called up to her, stroking the side of Alpheus’ neck. His sparkling eyes gl

The next few days were exhausting for me, if I’m being totally honest. Missing one night of sleep is near disastrous for me, and it made the feeling of the night I met Alpheus seem even more like a dream.
Josie stopped by at one point, and we chatted about something relatively unimportant. I barely even remembered the subject. I had premeditatively decided I wasn’t going to tell her about Alpheus, at least for now. The less people knew about him, the better.
I now was looking groggily out my small apartment window, crouched in the corner of my couch, sipping milk. Sitting there in my sweats and tank top, I wished I had a compani

Brother (Blood Runs Thicker than Water 4)
There are certain things in life that become your goal, your obsession. Sometimes this game called life that every human being is thrown into, just doesn’t hold enough meaning. Because it is very difficult to find meaning in going to a cubicle every day, typing letters and numbers, or perhaps working away on a farm, the hot sun beating down on you. It is natural for every human to have the need to be part of something truly great. Not a limb for a grand company or harvesting vegetables to sell in the market. No, we all desire to be truly needed, to be important to something or someone. Perhaps that is why we throw ourselves away to the

Meeting (Blood Runs Thicker than Water 3)
I’m completely shaken by what happened yesterday.
I didn’t let Josie see this, of course. To her, there was nothing abnormal about this happening. The fish had simply been injured by an animal, nothing more. She didn’t see the shimmer of something else in the deep, something watching me.
I didn’t have any excuse for the lost pole, however. I had stammered, saying I had simply walked over and the waves had wrenched the pole out of its stand. Josie raised an eyebrow at me for that, as the ocean was relatively calm and that pole was hard to destabilize. But there was no other logical explanation for her.
That was the t

I shut the journal, not caring to read any more. I knew the tragic story of my life. How not much later, in a wild act of sheer desperation, I gave myself away to Rick, only to have him find extreme disgust in the scales on my back. He dumped me then, saying he couldn’t be with someone only partially human, and partially something, but I have always known he was looking for some excuse all along. He didn’t exactly treat me well in the end, and left me behind with nightmares that haunt me to this day. Demon.
I shake the memory away, focusing on the now. I decided that I was hungry, at three in the morning, and went to the tiny kit

I opened my eyes, panting and sweating. I look around my small room, scanning my surroundings. A small desk in the corner, a modern desk lamp perched on the wooden surface. Papers scattered messily and as always, unorganized. Posters hanging on the walls, not of boy bands or brands as other girls may have left over from their teenage years, but of high definition photos of jellyfish, sharks, and other beautiful creatures to decorate my walls.
I groan, sitting up in bed, still sweating. What a nightmare. I haven’t had one of those in a very long time. I still remember his hands grabbing my arms, whispers of demon hissing in my ear. I sh

Hello, are you interested in being part of the RedeemingEden Convoy? I am trying to set up a website for all my Christian friends online to have a safe and private place to talk that I feel deviantart does not offer as well as to provide helpful resources, encouragement, and common goals, especially when it comes to issues arising on deviantart and advice for real life circumstances.
