Ethan looked down at his hands, as if they were the most interesting thing in the world. He opened his mouth, then closed it again. He was ecstatic. Very ecstatic. So much so he felt like he was back in that cafeteria, when he first saw Damien using his powers. And again, he felt like he was hallucinating. That he was delusional. That somehow, someway, he was going to wake up, and find himself in a mental institution going on and on about superheroes.
Suddenly, he heard a phone call. He jumped, and saw Damien reach into his pocket and check it. He looked up, disappointment evident in his features. “I’ve ah…I’ve gotta go…”
“W-wait.”
Ethan’s brain was still trying to process what’d just happened. But nonetheless, he forced himself to say something. “Y-yeah. Yeah, that sounds fun.”
Suspicion crossed Damien’s eyes. But nonetheless, he nodded. He walked out of the room without saying anything. When the door shut behind him, Ethan buried his face in his book, and tried suffocating himself for the remainder of the night.
I enjoy reading, writing, and crocheting. I have a weakness for paranormal romance and dark fantasy books, as well as Gothic fairy tale re-tellings. My favorite games so far are Nier and Nier Automata, and I like making fun of my family and boyfriend in the acknowledgement section of my books.
