LOVE AND OTHER NIGHTMARES chapter 6 now’s your time * I wake up the next morning in the middle of some dream about slime. A rubdown of the Center’s satin pillow sheets assures me of a cleaner reality. The houndstooth pattern makes it difficult to search by sight alone, and anyway, my eyes are...

LOVE AND OTHER NIGHTMARES chapter 5 one foot in front of the other * The gods embody complacent, tight-lipped creatures… usually. But Kyurem? In my comatose dream he howled, each word oozing with vulnerability and bordering on hysteria. Some of his spiel overflowed with melodrama, I know...

The final letter! It's been fun. <3 Keep in mind this is a double update, so don't forget to read the above post, too. FLYING IN THE DARK [letter thirty-three] * January 6 All right, Haley, fine. I can’t believe you’re serious about me, but fine. First of all, En is the name I prefer, yes...

FLYING IN THE DARK [letters twenty-eight through thirty-two] * December 2 Markus, I’m writing to you because… some things that should never start, do start. They start and then they spiral. Chances slip away, unnoticed half the time. Or for you, all the time. It’s 5:00 in the morning. The...

FLYING IN THE DARK [letter twenty-seven] * November 29 Haley, I leave this letter in your bag, mixed with all the others. How long will it take you to notice? Two, three days at most, I suspect. You’ve been rereading our correspondence an unreasonable amount these days. Ignoring the winter...

* Warning for a vague mention of suicide in this letter. * I had to change the dates of the letters so that the date of their meeting was scheduled to be October 15, not August 15. I got mixed up with old drafts and new ones, accidentally going from September back to August, derp. FLYING IN THE...

FLYING IN THE DARK [letter twenty-five] * October 12 Markus… Ugh. Okay, so Kenneth’s been all about the non-Lumiose scenery, but I’ve convinced him that we’ve got to hurry, we can come back later if he wants to that bad! He wants to take pictures and search for items that travelers dropped...

FLYING IN THE DARK [letter twenty-four] * October 10 Haley, Here’s to hoping that this letter reaches you before you reach Laverre. The labyrinth of trees, meadows, and dry lakes may make it a difficult endeavor for the prison flying-type to find you. But no doubt you are close, perhaps...

FLYING IN THE DARK [letter twenty-three] * September 26 Haley, You’ll have to forgive me for taking delight in your nervousness, which assures me that mine is not unfounded. I can overlook your fear of the risks involved because you are the inconvenienced party here. Assuming that Route 14...

FLYING IN THE DARK [letter twenty-two] * September 23 Oh, I can’t tell you how relieved I am for that single word in your letter: yes! Don’t worry about the delay. I mean, I expected it. I’d be more worried if you weren’t nervous and your normal tangent-prone self, you know? I’m nervous...

FLYING IN THE DARK [letter twenty-one] * September 20 Haley, I send to you my sincerest apologies for not responding sooner. I realize a full two weeks is not long for people to go without speaking to each other. Indeed, across my cell Eyeball is now speaking enough to recount the tales of...

FLYING IN THE DARK [letter twenty] * September 6 Down Vernal Avenue yesterday, Kenneth went on shopping sprees that I couldn’t dream of affording as a fledgling trainer. Disinterested in all the boutiques, I daydreamed in them. My little fantasy session led to people reaching in between the...

FLYING IN THE DARK [letter nineteen] * September 1 Hmm… No answer is an answer all by itself? I see. An abstract reasoning, but hardly comparable in difficulty to the ultimate wonders of the universe. Yet I’m filled with doubt regardless. The implications are greater if your shame does not...

FLYING IN THE DARK [letter eighteen] * August 26 Well, first I just wanted to echo the good old “thanks for listening” song and dance. Thanks mostly for not judging me too hard. Admittedly I had to force myself not to skim your letter because for a while it was like maybe I didn’t write...

FLYING IN THE DARK [letter seventeen] * August 20 Again, I have no qualms with you forgoing parts of my letter in your own. A handful of topics I consider a priority, however, including that disclosed sunrise. My mind attaches itself to the moon, as a rule, to nighttime and darkness and the...
