Chapter 4 - The Route Of Obstacles, And Confessions
They had been driving for hours. Maria lost track of how many cactuses had passed by and how many times she heard vultures squawking from above. Her mind was lost in its own tundra of thoughts. She found herself stealing glances at her companion. The shadow forming across his face, the redness of his tired, and jittery, warm brown cashmere eyes that struggled to say open. She knew that he couldn't keep this up for long.
"Thomas? Do you want me to drive for a while?" she asked, giving him a concerned stare.
"N-no, I'm fine." he lied not meeting her stare as he focused on the highway.
"Thomas." she sighed.
He didn't answer, his mind was conflicted, he felt surprised that she was calling him by his first name. Bu why had she? that was the only question stopping him from passing out on the wheel. Tiredness shrouded his body, like an eternal dark cloud engulfing the garden of humanity. The weakness in his muscles taunting him,

The once beautiful charcoal car fell into an inferno of fire, as Maria and Thomas lay on the ground unconscious. An unmarked silver van pulled up. Two tall and muscular men who were dressed in monochrome suits came out, and approached their limp forms.Thomas did his best to open his heavy and throbbing eyes as he heard the voices of men around him. His mind felt grogy, he couldn't clear the fog forming over his thoughts. The last thing he recalled was talking with Maria before his car had exploded, knocking them both back and out cold. His eyes snapped open at that, his vision cleared as the memory sobbered him. He looked to his left and saw two men carrying Maria's body over to their van. He tried to yell, but only a crackly grunt came out. He pushed himself upward trying to move, to do anything to stop the men from leaving but his legs gave out causing him to fall onto his face. He pushed his head up hearing the van speed off into the distance. He spat

The night descended upon the expanses of lonesome sand and cactuses like a rash spreading across a lepers back. Thomas could see the moonlight shining within the dark, lighting his way as he continued to pursue the fiends who had taken Maria. He was yet to see a sign of them but knew that at some point, they would require a pit stop. He felt his vision blur in and out as he pushed through his drowsiness. He had no choice, and at this point, the ramifications of his actions were of no concern to him. Turning on the radio, he let the static robic tone of the reporter keep him company as he found himself drawing closer to his target.Thomas wasn't certain when he had spaced off but became aware of the fact that the radio had descended into to scratchy static. He noticed just head of him that, the same van from earlier had pulled over onto the side of the road. Putting his foot on the brake he haulted making sure that he was far enough away not t

The shadowy valley with a maze of twists and turns that bled into one as the hours past wiith no end in sight. Thomas kept a visual, stalking the van without being noticed. He wondered how further they would go before this trip was over. He yearned to get this over with and go home with Maria safely in his arms. So, lost within his musings he missed it when the van took a sharp right turn into the bushes. He heard the sound of doors closing loudly which caused him to slam on the breaks. He jerked forward, his grip on the steering wheel slipping away as the energy vanished from his hands. He unbuckled his seat and stared at the men as they appeared to be carrying Maria somewhere.He rushed out of the car and followed the men as they carried Maria into the bushes. Thomas did his best not to step on any leaves or twigs. The me stop at a cave and vanished. He moved closer following them. Inside the cave, the walls resembled that of a sewer not an

Silence, the only thing that existed except for the occassional splash of boots against the tunnels puddles. Thomas hadn't said anything to her since the incident. From that kiss, a fire had been started within her that she never wanted to live wthout but he seemed to be burned by this passion. He didn't glance at her, and his shoulders were bunched up, his fists clenching from time to time. Maria was at the end of her patience, she was tired, hungry, and done playing games, she haulted before folding her arms. He proceeded to walk further until he noticed that he could longer hear her footsteps following him."Whats your problem? ever since our kiss you've been acting weird." she snapped."I just need.." he said but stopped himself upon hearing a faint voice in the background.He turned to her, she was raising an eyebrow him, her arms not folded anymore, but laying limply by her sides. She was about to speak but he beat her to it."I he

Minutes shifted into hours as they finally made it out of the valley and miles away from the middle of nowhere.Thomas became drenched in relief when he saw skyscrapers and modern looking buildings surrounding them. During this time, Maria had decided to occupy herself with a book she had found in the glovebox. From what he could tell, it was a beginner's guide to economics but like himself she had a tendency to be eclectic. Whilst they waited in traffic, he stole a quick kiss from her. Her mind was absorbed in the book so she didn't move an inch but he did catch a look of mischief in her eyes as a light of dusting of heat covered her cheeks.&nb

"Liars call anyone trying to relay the truth 'Crazy' because to corrupt individuals the truth is considered fictitious." Maria finished her speech.The crowd in the auditorium erupted in an awed roar, clapping, yelling, and praising her. Not only for her strength but for her honesty. She had managed to smash a system that ruthlessly tried to destroy her. She found that life after incarceration was busier than she could have ever foreseen. She was on public speaking tours, had published a best-selling book based on her experiences, and had recently married Thomas who had managed to get therapy in order to liberate himself from the trauma he had endured for so many years. The couple decided to move back to Canada, into a log cabin, in the wilderness. But the best part, was that every doctor, and psychologist, that had conspired with the organization to imprison her were prosecuted, had the
Muses Of The Bothy Out From Their Arms And Into A Bothy - Story Seven
Chapter 1 – Dagger In The Ashes Of A RoseEach red pill was an alternative pathway, a route to freedom, the illusion of a drugged-up mind but the comfort blanket for a broken soul. Only in the morning did remorse and guilt pummel Audrey and that was only because of her sons. Her husband, a dreadfully plain workaholic never acknowledged her struggles or maybe he pretended not to know. Either way, Audrey Willow, detested her domestic prison and yearned to leave behind the laundry, the tantrums, the school runs, and just go to a nightclub or take a drive into the desert. Audrey took three pills with a tequila sunrise, the void that burrowed a chasm into her heart, and soul was locked into its cage. She felt her mind stir as her thoughts floated away, butterflies of someone else, a version of her that would never truly belong to her.

The AA meetings had become the highlight of Audrey's week. She had been clean for three months. Audrey wasn't sure if it was a placebo effect but her thoughts had become nicer, and the void she had been feeling started to subside.Gabriel had been so supportive, even encouraging Audrey to go back to school. She had considered it in the past but felt like she was abandoning her boys if she did. But they were eight and six. It wasn't like they were toddlers who needed constant monitoring with consistent nurturing. Being a mother wasn't all bad, she loved her sons but she had no maternal instincts. If they had been birds, she probably would have kicked them out of the nest by now. Audrey's new perspective was thanks to Gabriel who had opened her mind to ideas she had long dismissed as "Pipe dreams." Audrey spent more time on hobbies
