DYSTOPIA By C. Wain (Patamu Registry number: 72695)   I am a ruined man. Disfigured… my features quite lost, for I shall never feel warmth again. I've never loved anyone nor was I loved by my kin, until I met that… that… argh, the words won’t exit my mind and transfix into this mouldy scrap of paper, no matter how hard I hold this metal pen of mine. My hands tremble as sorrowful memories fill my feeble mind and weaken my trembling spirit. It is too late for ease of mind, I know, for now I have lost everything. My life… my life I swear for the ability of sight to overpass this accursed world and behold the ethereal. To glimpse but for an instant, at her artificial smile once again. May you, stranger, and yet my single and most revered listener, forgive me for my frantic writing. But I cannot help it.  Oh, woe! A reject amongst the mindless, indifferent crowd surrounding me. It was on a night like this that our first meeting took place. As the thunder slashed open the

I would watch you as you are. Unbound. Free.  I would hide in your hair. A still, miniaturized version of myself. I would sail on your eyes. Sleep on your lips. Walk down your quaking chest. Above you heart. Climb you tender breasts. And then, all again. Night after night. Dream after dream, cursing the moment it all vanishes into the cold breeze of reality.

I can’t bear it,” slowly stuttered the teen she-orc, bursting into tears as she leapt into the warm arms of her loving companion. “Don’t’ worry. You se-” “They will cut your vocal cords! How can I not worry!” The despair-filled cry of the loving she-orc sent a fit of pain right through Lus’ heart. “Mph, you have always been such a kind being. So unfit to live in this terribly insane world. You must not worry. I am ready for this. For all its worth, I have prepared my whole life for this moment. So, wipe that sad look off your beautiful face and show me your smile one last time”, warmly spoke the young orc as he cleaned the smooth skin of Bethany from the overflowing

I am C. Wain and it is my pleasure to welcome you to this blog. First, let me thank you for your support. It really means the world to me, and I hope you enjoy reading my work as much as I do in writing it. There is nothing more rewarding for writers than to have their work stir emotions (even criticisms) in their readers. Or at least that is what I think. In this blog, I will upload several dark fantasy short stories (unrelated to the Shinigami Tomes series) and other bonus adventures related to “The Shinigami Tomes” together with the latest news regarding the future of this series.
