"I'm not going to be your friend anymore because you're imaginary," I said to my imaginary friend who just stood there with a sad face.

Two of them just blinked.

As I scrolled through the deep web out of curiosity, I stumbled upon an old gore video of a person that looked like my friend I was close to who had disappeared years ago.
The video showed him tied in a dark place, begging for help, as his wide-open, horrified eyes staring directly into the camera as if he could see me watching.

My friend had been suffering from depression for quite a while; regretfully he informed me of his plan to end his life with a few spiked drinks.

For my first day working at the health retreat, I decided to kick off this week’s session with a big breakfast for everyone.

[apr24] A deep sense of dread filled my chest as the top of the Pinesville nuclear reactor exploded, showering millions of radioactive shards high into the atmosphere.

Yes, sir, the insulation will make it so people in the next room won’t hear you.
I could see he didn’t recognize me, and I was smart enough not to say anything about the insulation also dampening the sounds of me walking the corridors hidden between the walls of every room, allowing me to take revenge on this jerk after so, so many years.
