    It is said that Angels carry away the souls of the dead in their sleep.

    Have you ever dreamt that you were falling?

    The world lay in eerie silence, everyone frozen mid-action, eyes open but unseeing, hopelessly waiting for someone who would never return.

    Forgotten in the void of an abandoned saved file, they could do nothing but remain frozen but aware, locked in eternal darkness with no end in sight.

    The nutrients you intake are transformed into bodily tissues, but they gradually wear out and will be replaced by new tissues.

    I grabbed the blade and slit the burglar's throat right before he could harm me.

    "If only..." I thought as I lay on the hospital bed, seconds away from death.

    12 year old boy slit his wrist while looking straight at his drunk father's eyes.

    After some drinks we went on to have a late night walk near the woods and it was blissful,

    until she said, "Oh, here, here!", pointing to an area, "This is where I was murdered".

    When me and my friend were standing above the deepest hole known to mankind. I asked him how deep it must be?

    He pushed me into it and said, "Go find yourself."

    I dreamt of my lover last night, bathed in sunlight with an even brighter smile on their face.

    When I woke, they were still smiling at me, all teeth and no flesh on their bones.

    "Please, don't do it," I pleaded on my knees while I clutched his coal black garb.

    "Sir, you were a good father during your life," the cloaked man groaned as he reached her with his boney, creaking hand, "but your daughter can't live without you, so I must grant her peace."

    Each night, my dog barks at the empty corner of my room, his growls intensifying.

    But last night, he fell silent and backed away, whimpering, as if whatever he saw had finally drawn near.

    People always ask me why I have fresh dug holes in my backyard.

    As soon as they step foot in my backyard and when they start to smell rotten eggs and see maggots crawling out the ground, they immediately run the other way.

    "Doctor, I only tried to kill myself because I can't bear the thought of being replaced at my shitty job by a robot", said the old man.

    “Well, I know how difficult it is, the doctor I replaced couldn’t handle it either, but I'll take care of his wife and kids as planned".

    I ask my friend who is a crime scene cleaner “what was the funniest part of your job?”

    He told me that cleaning up his family members that were killed in a mass homicide was the most enjoyment he ever had while being on the job.

    I looked over at my co-pilot and told him I'm tripping way too much to fly.

    He looked back at me with big eyes and said, "haha whaaaaaat?"

    "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you"

    As I look around the now-silent classroom, I finally raise the gun up to my head, wondering if this is what they really meant.

    So then, what woke up?

    My friends and I always dreamed of visiting the tomb of Jesus—the place where everyone knows he came back from the dead on the third day. Or at least, that’s what I used to believe, until we opened his grave and saw his body lying right there, as if it had never left.

    My then-boyfriend shot my voodoo-obsessed stalker and now we're living the happily married life.

    But when I was picking my husband up from our son's soccer practice, he briefly mentioned something only my stalker knew.

    As the bus screeched to a halt, the driver stared in horror at the empty road,

    convinced he’d hit the little girl who had run in front of him. Until he felt a cold hand grip his shoulder from behind, and a child's voice whispered, "You missed me."

    I always tried to forget about that incident, but I've always been afraid it would happen again.

    My suspicions were confirmed today when i turned on the water to brush my teeth and the water was pink and chunky with something.
