The clock on the wall ticked steadily, a soft metronome marking the passage of time in the small, dimly lit room. Five sat in an old armchair, his eyes fixed on the woman across from him. Y/N was asleep, her breathing even, her expression peaceful—completely unaware of the storm brewing just a few feet away.

Five’s gaze traced the curve of her face, the way her hair fanned out across the pillow, the gentle rise and fall of her chest. She looked so calm, so serene, it was almost easy to forget everything that had led to this moment. Almost.

But Five couldn’t forget. He wouldn’t forget. He’d been through too much, seen too much. His life had been a series of chaotic, tangled timelines, each one more fragile than the last. But when he found Y/N, everything changed. She was the one fixed point in his otherwise turbulent existence, the one thing that made sense in a universe where nothing else did.

It had started innocently enough, or at least that’s what Five told himself. He had saved her from a mugger in a dark alley, a simple act of heroism—nothing more. But there had been something in her eyes, something that had struck a chord deep within him, something that had awakened a part of him he hadn’t even known existed.

At first, he had convinced himself that he was just keeping an eye on her, making sure she stayed safe. After all, the world was dangerous, and he was the only one who truly understood how fragile the fabric of time could be. He told himself it was his duty to protect her, to make sure she didn’t become another casualty of the chaos.

But it hadn’t taken long for his watchful eye to turn into something darker, something more obsessive. He started following her, keeping tabs on her every movement. He knew where she went, who she talked to, what she ate for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. He knew her favorite books, her favorite songs, the way she liked her tea—everything. And the more he learned about her, the more he became convinced that she was meant to be his.

Of course, Y/N didn’t know any of this. She didn’t know that Five was watching her, guiding her life from the shadows, pulling the strings of fate to keep her close. She didn’t know about the people he had removed from her life—the friends who had suddenly moved away, the men who had inexplicably lost interest in her, the coworkers who had mysteriously been transferred.

But it was all for her, Five assured himself. It was for her safety, her happiness. If they were together, he could keep her safe. He could protect her from the dangers that lurked in every corner of the timeline.

And tonight, he would make sure she finally understood that.

Y/N stirred in her sleep, a soft sigh escaping her lips. Five’s eyes sharpened, his grip tightening on the armrests of the chair. The anticipation that had been simmering inside him for so long was finally boiling over. He rose silently from the chair, his movements as fluid and precise as ever, and crossed the small room to where she lay.

“Y/N,” he whispered, his voice soft, almost tender. He reached out, his fingers brushing against her cheek.

Her eyes fluttered open, disoriented at first, but then they focused on him, and confusion filled her gaze. “Five?” she murmured, her voice thick with sleep. “What are you…?”

“I need you to listen to me,” he said, cutting her off, his tone firm but not unkind. “I need you to understand.”

Y/N blinked, trying to shake off the remnants of sleep, but the fog in her mind was quickly replaced by a creeping sense of unease. She pushed herself up on her elbows, glancing around the unfamiliar room. “Where are we? What’s going on?”

Five didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he sat down on the edge of the bed, his eyes never leaving her face. “I’ve kept you safe, Y/N. All this time, I’ve been watching over you, protecting you from the dangers of the world, from the chaos that surrounds us.”

Her confusion deepened, and she pulled the blanket tighter around herself. “What are you talking about? How did I get here?”

“You don’t need to worry about that,” he replied smoothly. “You’re safe now, with me. That’s all that matters.”

The unease in her chest turned to fear as the reality of the situation began to sink in. “Five, I…I don’t understand. Why are you doing this?”

“Because you’re important, Y/N,” he said, his voice laced with an intensity that sent chills down her spine. “You’re the only thing that matters in this entire damned timeline. Everything else is just noise, just chaos. But you…you’re my constant. My fixed point.”

Y/N’s heart raced, her mind scrambling to make sense of his words. She had known Five was different, that there was something dark and dangerous lurking beneath his cool exterior, but she had never imagined this. “This isn’t right,” she said, her voice trembling. “You can’t just…take me like this.”

“I’m not taking you,” Five corrected, his tone almost patient, as if he were explaining something to a child. “I’m saving you. This world is falling apart, Y/N. You’ve seen it. The people, the violence, the chaos. It’s all spiraling out of control. But I can fix it. We can fix it, together. You just need to trust me.”

She shook her head, tears welling up in her eyes. “This isn’t fixing anything, Five. This is madness.”

For a moment, a flicker of something—pain? regret?—crossed Five’s face. But it was gone as quickly as it appeared, replaced by the cold determination that had driven him for so long. “You don’t see it now, but you will,” he said softly. “In time, you’ll understand. And when you do, you’ll thank me.”

Before she could protest, before she could do anything, Five leaned in, his lips brushing against her forehead in a gesture that was almost tender. “Sleep now, Y/N,” he murmured. “I’ll take care of everything.”

With a subtle flick of his hand, a small, almost invisible device he had implanted in the mattress activated, releasing a gentle stream of sedative gas. Y/N’s eyes widened in realization, but it was too late. The room began to spin, and she felt herself sinking back into the bed, her limbs growing heavy.

“Five…please…” she whispered, her voice barely audible as the darkness closed in.

“I’m doing this for you,” Five whispered back, his voice the last thing she heard before she slipped into unconsciousness.

He stayed by her side, watching as her breathing slowed, as her body relaxed into a deep, dreamless sleep. When he was sure she wouldn’t wake, he stood and began to make the final adjustments. The room they were in—a carefully chosen, isolated location far from prying eyes—was equipped with everything they would need. Everything *she* would need.

Five had thought of everything, prepared for every possibility. He had spent countless hours mapping out their future together, ensuring that nothing could tear them apart. No one would come looking for her. No one would miss her. She was his, now and forever.

As he finished his preparations, Five allowed himself a small, satisfied smile. Finally, after all the chaos, after all the pain and suffering, he had found his peace. He had found his Y/N. And nothing would ever take her away from him.

With one last glance at her sleeping form, Five turned off the light and left the room, closing the door behind him with a soft click.

He would keep her safe. He would protect her from the world, from the chaos, from everything that sought to tear them apart.

Even if it meant protecting her from herself.

->If you ever had this man as your yandere,then,you are truly unlucky

->My dude...you are fucked.not too much,but still,you are fucked.Why?well,let's see...

->Maybe it was the time you had saved him from those terrible bullies?ah yes,of course.how could he ever forget?He was still logan's punching bag and the center of the bullying in his school.noone ever helped him,except for you.

->You only managed to stop it because you had a recording of them beating him up and the fact you can report them anytime soon,was why they never tried to get back at you.this causes daniel to look up at you,it was something like adortion.since he had never recieved anyone from help before.

->And so,prepare for a lot of "thank you's" from him,he can never be so grateful from anyone before.And everytime he went home,he always talked about you to his mom(except for the bullying part of course).

->His mom could never be more happy to find out that her little boy had gained a friend.but it didn't last forever since your parents suddenly announced that you're going to transfer to another school that's better than your old one.

->Of course you didn't want to,since if you moved then who will be able to protect daniel now?That's why you came up the best excuses you could give to your parents,like what's wrong with the one you're going to or it's a waste of money to enroll to another school,but they brushed the things you said.

->So,to no avail,you sent one last goodbye text to daniel.And when he recieved your message,he was devastated.Why would you leave?how could your parents do this?if your going to leave then that means....he will have to suffer again.but he can't do anything since you kept your friendship with him a secret,since your parents are extremely strict and thinks friendship is a distraction to your grades and studies.

->At first,daniel couldn't help but feel betrayed by you.How could you leave just like that?did your friendship even matter?did he matter?why the hell didn't you stop your parents?why?just why?

->But when the time his mom found out the bullying and sent him to transfer to another school,he realized that he shouldn't think like that about you.How could he blame the person he adored and care about?the one who even thinks on treating him like a decent human being?and not a pest to be looked down on.

->Of course when he got another body,and went to school and found you.He can never be happy in his life,it was great that you transfer in the same school as his but the bad thing is that your on another department.

->He approached you(in his handsome body)with a smile,wanting to have a good impression with you.He shyly asked if you want to hang out with him and as the kind person you are,you said yes.And that's when you two became friends!

->Everyone always saw you two in lunch,hanginh out with each other,chatting happily while other girls glare at you with jealousy since you catched the most popular guy in school.

->Daniel also meet you in his original body,when you walked in the same convience store he worked in and man,the smile that was adorning your face was captivating.He might as well thought he went to heaven.You two have a good talk also you apologizing for leaving him but he says that it's fine since he was able to escape from logan lee anyways.

->And when you talked about daniel,his other body,he can see how happy you were to tell him that you're glad to have him as a friend since he was strong amd can protect him from harm.And when he thought,he couldn't adore you more then he's wrong.

->That's where his obsession starts.

->You were glad that he had a friend(who is apperantly him in another body)that can protect him from harm like you?God,you really were an angel.

->Daniel couldn't help but catch feelings for you.how couldn't he?you were this gorgeous being that deserves to be worshipped everyday and night,and gosh you are so kind and sweet to other people and you don't judge others by their looks but their personality.You were technically a god/dess to him!

->Now he began to be more...close to you,like when you ever need something maybe like a pencil or paper,he always gave it to you.And everytime you call for him,he always appear in 0.001 seconds straight.And whenever you ask a small favor to him like literally asking for 56 cents or something,he might as well gave you his whole entire wallet.

->You find it weird sometimes but daniel is just...daniel.he's a sweet guy so you always brush off his odd gestures,but those odd gestures gets WORSE.

->As time pass by,his obsession worsen when you patch his wounds.The look of your concerned face,as you treat his bruises that slightly covered his face,the way you lectured him to not go anymore reckless situations make him think that...you must like him too,right?

->How can you not?you're kind to him,always being with him,always go and hang with him when he asked to,and how you blushed when he teases you for being such a messy eater.You must like him right?

->Now,daniel stalks you at home.When school is over,he always makes an excuse to his other friends so he can check up on you.And when you hang out with the others like zoe or duke,then he makes sure to come with you,and when he can't?he stalks over and hides very stealthily so neither of you or said friend will see him.

->Also,daniel will definetely make a small shrine of you.and this shrine contains of your used tissues,bitten pencils you will never use,lost erasers,paper you thrown in the trash,half-eaten food you happend to not finish,some of your underwears,old perfume,ect ect.

->Daniel can also be easily jealous,and when he's jealous,ooohhh boy...he can be far,FAR more brutal than any yandere you can encounter(other than gun,goo or samuel ofc).

->Daniel can also make you fall for him,either with his old body or his other body,it doesn't matter you WILL fall for him anyway.And when you two finally get into a relationship,that's where it goes downhill.

->You began to notice more of daniel being more and more....obsessed with you.He thinks since that you two are in a relationship now,he doesn't really need to hide his obsession with you as long as it doesn't cross the line like how he gouge someone's eyes when they even had the audacity to look at you funny.

->You also began to notice how silent he can be whenever you talk to someone,and it doesn't matter if their male or female,he thinks that no one else deserve to talk to you other than him.

->But he knows he has to put up a façade so no one can tore you away from him,since he knows people will lose their marbles if they ever find out he murders people for you.That's why he lets you talk to his friends,but when it comes to strangers,he does the talking for you.

->No one,and i mean no one can ever suspect him being a yandere for you.the one that come close is zack,and when zack confronted him about his behavior towards you daniel let out the side no one that no one had ever seen before.

Zack brought daniel into an alleyway,where no one can see them,zack decided that he and daniel had a conversation alone.He began to see something weird about him.

How...daniel would always stare at you,which isn't exactly weird since he's always been staring at you since the time you and daniel became friends but this time...it was different.

His stare began to be more...lovesick.And everytime someone talks to you,he can always see daniel glaring at the person with such dark intent,Like he he wanted to murder the guy.It unnerved him greatly.He can always feel a pair of eyes bore into his back when he tries talking with you or when he hangs out with you.

And everytime he turns his head around,he never saw anything.But that one time he walk you home,he saw a head,with black hair similar as daniel's.And that is when he began to suspect something.

So,now,zack thinks it's best to confront daniel about this. "Daniel...i gotta say it's weird for us to be alone just like last time,but..." "but what?" Daniel asked while raising a brow at the boxer.Zack inhaled, "About your behavior with...them." And at the mention of your name,he can feel daniel's piercing stare boring right through his body.

Even with a face as handsome as his,he can see how it took a dark turn when he mentioned you. "What about them.?" The boy with rich black locks asked,with slight venom lacing his voice.

"You're...acting really fucking weird everytime they're with someone else other than you.It's like you hate the idea that they're with someone else,don't you?"

"...."

His silenece was unnerving.Zack can feel little bids of sweat drop down to his face,since he began to feel nervous.Daniel's face was unreadable and for all he knows he's already thinking about killing hin right here and right now.

And seems like,he was right.

Daniel's face gone terribly blank,eyes void of emotion and his voice was disturbingly calm.

"Yeah..your right.i do hate it when someone else has the fucking nerve to spend time with my beloved.They don't deserve to spend time with them." Daniel then began to walk over to zack making the latter flinch.

And each step closer make the male scared,terrified.Zack felt a lump on his throat,more sweat began to drip down as his eyes were focused at daniel's figure who's stepping closer and closer to him. "I also hate how you look at them too.Like you think your good enough to talk to them?thinking it's fine for you to pet their head just like that?"

"Daniel–"

"Oh no,zack,you better watch your actions.before someone gets hurt.better yet,mira."

By the mention of the certain girl,zack narrowed his eyes as he glared at the male infront of him who had a bored expression. "Don't you fucking–" "i won't.as long you don't talk to anyone about this,i won't hurt your precious mira." Daniel then smiles at him,and it wasn't daniel's typical kind smile.it was one that brought chills down the boxer's spine.

"You should understand me,zack.i'm also protecting the one i love.we both do that,don't we?so do me a favor and never try to do something you might regret,okay?"

"...."

->With that,Zack never once bothered trying to talk or hang out with you again,making daniel delighted while you were left confused.

->You once tried asking daniel about zack,which caused him to look at you with a heartbroken face.

->Why do you want to talk about zack?don't you love him?then why are you conversating about zack instead of him?are you trying to make him jealous?OH!how really cute of you trying to make him jealous,it was fine at first,but please don't ever speak another guy's name infront of him anymore.one time is funny and the second time is enough.

->It wasn't long after maybe 8 months you finally find out about his dark secret but daniel didn't even bother to deny it.Of course he murders those people for you,why wouldn't he?those bastards were trying to take you away from him.he couldn't let them do that.

->Daniel was confused to why you don't seem happy about him killing.you keep yelling at him on why would he do murder people for such a ridiculous reason.How could you call that reason something ridiculous?

->Great.Now he has to knock you out and kidnap you into a new home.Yes,he actually got enough money from streaming and modeling,to live in a apartment complex.And there's where you two get to live for the rest of your lives!

->And the moment you woke up,you saw one of your legs chained up to a twin sized bed in a bedroom where you clearly don't live in.yet.And the next thing you see was the door opening and saw your captor,daniel park wearing a fucking apron with a plate of food in his hands.

->Daniel wasted no time to greet you,with a happy smile.He explained to you that you were knocked out by him since you were being kinda of a brat,and since he knows that you will report him,he kidnapped you in his and your new home.

->You of course tried to coax him into stop this madness and let you go,but he ignores you and tries to feed you.You didn't let him,and this causes to anger daniel which just lead him to grabbing your face and shoving the food he cooked for you right into your mouth.

-> "You better fucking swallow it,(y/n).don't make me hurt you." His voice was enough for you to do what he wanted,this earned you a smile from him.

->And now,you were stuck with daniel.never getting to see or look at anyone from the outside world again.And no matter how many times you begged daniel,he never lets you go or even take a look from the outside thinking that he's enough to keep you company.

->Also,starving or killing yourself is not an option.Because one,if you wanted to starve yourself then like i mentioned before,daniel is going to shove the food down your throat so you can eat.And two,daniel will always stay by your side,so there is a low chance you can even hide a weapon from him.

->Overall,daniel is a clingy,obsessive,delusional,kinda worshippy yandere.And seems like he'll never let his angel out of his unholy cage.To keep him by his side,as long as he wishes.

Pairings: Natasha Romanoff x sister! OC, Yelena Belova x sister! OC, Antonia Dreykov x OC

Warning(s): violence, homophobia (slurs)

The last time I saw her was July 3rd, 2016. We were training in my room and my father stopped us. He had found out about us. I don't know how, but he did. "Antonia, Mariana, stop..." my father walked in, by his disappointed look I could tell this wasn't going to be good. "I am disappointed in you Antonia...I thought you were better than this" he turned around and in a flash I felt a sting on my unmasked cheek. Mari gasped and rushed by my side to help me up. "You fucking dyke!" My father yelled. Tears fell out of my eyes as Mari held my head. "And you! Mariana." "You were my favorite, my most ruthless and efficient widow, I took care of you, and this is how you pay me back?! Sleeping with my daughter!" My father went to strike Mari, but I quickly blocked it, only angering him more. "Oh the things I'm going to do to you." He had a smug grin on his face as he gripped Mari's chin. I grabbed his wrist "Don't touch her." I felt like I was going to burst into tears. He pushed me to the ground and began dragging Mari by her hair. I screamed her name in hopes that it would somehow bring her back to me, but it didn't...

#003-One Hope

One Hope Singer/Song writer

Based in Alberta, Canada

Genre:Dark-pop/Indie

Instagram:@onehopeofficial

Q:How did you first start doing music? (For example: what made you fall in love with music, how did you start working with music)

At the age of 11, my father passed away in a car accident, and my family wanted to continue his musical talents through me, so they pitched in and bought me a guitar as a gift on christmas. I've always had a love for music, but that burning passion within me really developed after listening to solo acts such as EDEN. his song 'wake up' in essence woke me up to the world of possibilities, especially after learning he wrote & produced it all himself. This led me down a rabbit hole of discovery, finding new solo artists such as Jon Bellion or Jeremy Zucker. In those moments I felt that burning sensation in my soul, the flame that grew into a wildfire, a passion that knew no bounds. I chased after it, learning to write, sing, produce & mix/master on my own in my bedroom. Spent all of my highschool years avoiding everyone & spending every moment I had learning, growing, writing. It almost became my downfall, but I wouldn't change a second of it if I could. My music is my everything.

Q:Which of your songs do you recommend the most? (a song that represents you as an artist) and please explain the reason why you chose it.

If I had to choose one song out of my discography, it would have to be 'emotional softie'. I wrote this song about accepting who I am, my emotional side and all, while learning to let go of the negativity in my life. It's not easy to accept all the pieces of your life, but they happen with reason and intent. This song personifies and perpetually dignifies that understanding. If you wanted to learn more about me, you could easily learn it through this song.

Q:Please tell us about your latest single (or album).

My latest song 'i think i saw a ghost' is a song off of my upcoming EP 'nostalgic nightmares'. This song to me is about learning and coping with dissociation. It's something I have been learning to deal with myself for the bigger part of 2021. I love this song to death, it's easily my best written song yet. My EP 'nostalgic nightmares' covers a lot of these harsh emotions that tend to carry a haunting nostalgic feeling with them.

Q:What kind of music are you creating right now? (For example; a current source of inspiration, a certain sound you are into, or some other specific example)

I'm currently having the most fun I've had in a while writing music for 2022. I have been exploring R&B and blending that with my dark pop/electronic vibes. Really excited for people to hear it!

Q:What is important to you when making music?

Easily the most important thing to me when creating music is authenticity. I write from the heart, and create music that I know I love, music I wish existed. If you're authentic with your art, people will know. I stand by that.

Q:Tell us about your next music release or other upcoming activities you have planned.

My EP 'nostalgic nightmares' releases on December 8th and I'm super excited to share this sonic embodiment of my past year emotionally. By the time this magazine is out, it will be available! But even more so, I'm excited to release my first single of 2022. It's something special and I know fans will love it

Q:What is the story behind your artist name? It's a funny story actually. I originally named the project 'New Hope', but everytime I wrote out emails, banners, promotional content or even talked about it I kept saying 'One Hope' for some reason. Eventually I caved in and decided to change it. Since then I've adopted meaning to it, but I'll leave that up to interpretation!

Q:What is music to you?

Music to me is a universal language that speaks through emotions. No matter the language barrier, we all can feel the emotions transparent through the way it presents itself. It's beautiful.

Q:Any music or other art that has had an influence on you. brakence - dropout. This song defined so much of how I felt this past year. Without it I don't know what I'd be making.

Q:Who is a person who has influenced you? EDEN and his discography gave me that initial hope I could do this myself. He is easily one of my biggest inspirations. Aside from him, artists such as brakence, Bruno Major, Vorsa helped curate and redefine my art & musical taste.

Q:Do you have another job besides working with music? I currently only work on music. It's been a long journey, but I'm slowly becoming financially independent, which is the goal!

Q:What do you think you would be doing if you didn’t work with music? When I was younger, I wanted to be a model, or an actor if I could but I'm not sure how that would have worked out if I tried haha. Without music, I'd probably try pursuing a job as a mechanic or at least work around cars I think.

Q: What do you think you would be doing if you didn’t work with music?

When I was younger, I wanted to be a model, or an actor if I could but I'm not sure how that would have worked out if I tried haha. Without music, I'd probably try pursuing a job as a mechanic or at least work around cars I think.

Q:What is something that makes you feel glad that you are working with music? The opportunities to see the world & help others with my art. It's what I'm most grateful for. The day I start touring will be the day I cry tears of joy. to get to see the world with my own eyes & and hear others sing my songs will be my greatest achievement.

Q:What was the first song/album (and from which artist) you bought, and why did you buy it?

'Ho Hey' by the Lumineers. I remember when I got my first Ipod at 11 years old and I bought this song haha. I bought this one because I loved the feeling of joy I got listening to it.

Q:Any artists that have caught your interest recently, or any artist in particular you are feeling respect for at the moment? As I'm writing this, I think I found a new artist that I'll be listening to for a while: Amber Run. I could feel the genuinity within his vocals & lyricism. His song 5AM brought me to tears just now.

Q:In what kind of environment and with what equipment do you make your music? (For example a guitar in a park, in a studio using an AKAI MPC2000 etc)

I have a really cheap setup for recording music funnily enough. I write and record on my computer, using an AT2020 USB condenser microphone which sits under my stairs. I use my phone for a light while I record. It's quite funny to look at, but I love the sound it provides.

Q:How were you as a child?

As a child I was quiet and reserved yet content and joyful. Most of my friends in class would forget I was even there. It took me until I had music in my life to really open up and find out who I was.

Q:What is something about you that hasn’t changed since you were a kid? I still have my baby blanket. Weird as it sounds, it's helped me so much. I don't know how, but holding it gives me so much relief and calmness. I will never give it up haha.

Q:If you could give any advice to your younger self, what would that be? Keep going. Life gets better after highschool, like you always dreamt it would be. You will have everything you've only dreamt of & more, don't settle for less.

Q:What are your hobbies? I play video games, work on my car, hit the gym and play badminton when I can. I also love fishkeeping, but I can't do that yet because of circumstances. Hopefully soon though!

Q:What is a word you like?

Hope. The word in itself carries so much weight. It's the reason I have it in my name.

Q:What is a fashion brand do you currently like? Not necessarily a brand, but I enjoy thrifting for clothes. It's where 90% of my wardrobe comes from!

Q:Do you think that you have changed in some way recently? And if so, how? I've 100% changed. Over this year, I've gone through so much emotional distraught. It's not been easy, but I think mentally I've been learning to enjoy the little things in life, and appreciating every opportunity I've been given. I'm beyond grateful to be here now, I feel so fortunate.

Q:What is something you bought recently that you really like? I bought my car this summer. It's a 2013 Ford Mustang, and I couldn't be happier. As a kid growing up, nearly every day I dreamt of owning one, and now I do!

Q:What is something that has caught your interest recently, and why?　(For example: NFTs, an election, Climate change, or some other general topic that you have been interested in recently) Not much has caught my interest recently, as I've been more focused on writing lately.

Q:Any social issues you have been paying extra attention to lately? Not as of recently. I've been trying to stay away from the internet and social issues to put more focus on my own wellbeing. There are a lot of very important social issues to discuss, but I personally don't think I'm in a position to speak on them yet.

Q:Something you have been really into recently? (For example: a game, a type of food or dessert, a show on Netflix. Please share a specific example)

I've been really into working on my car. My wallet however hasn't been enjoying it as much haha. Aside from that, I've been enjoying Halo Infinite! I've been a big fan of the series since I grew up with it

Q:What is the best news you’ve had recently?

I was given tickets for a brakence & Aries show in Vancouver, Canada. I'm so excited to see some of my favorite artists in a city I've always dreamt of visiting! I was also incredibly grateful of Taemin shouting out my song 'change' last year, I'm still in shock over that! A highlight of 2020-2021 for me

Q:Tell us something good about your country.

Canada isn't perfect, but I definitely am thankful to be here nonetheless. Being able to experience the gorgeous mountains of jasper, to the cultural heritage of the maritimes. There's a lot to explore, and I have yet to experience it all.

Q:What is important in communicating?

Honesty, as it ties back to authenticity being important. But genuine listening is just as important. Be open to learning something new

Q:What do you do to relieve frustration or stress?

I pick up my guitar to play and sing what my heart feels. I let my soul guide my fingers across the fretboard as my heart belts out what it feels. I write a lot of my music this way, letting my heart and soul speak freely.

Q:What is your dream?

My dream is to travel and see everything this world has to offer. I want to experience the variety of cultures & the natural beauty that there is. Hopefully I'll come to Tokyo and perform someday!

Therapy for the Devil

“One Sheet” Written By: Merryn Landry Nominated Best Stage play L.A. LIVE Film Festival 2018 #FilmFestLA #LALIVEFILMFESTIVAL https://filmfreeway.com/FilmFestLA Genre:Dark Comedy Logline: The world has gone to hell in a beautiful hand basket, and Satan herself could not be more stressed, so she decides she needs therapy, the human kind. Satan, has been dealing with a lot for a very long time, she continues to be misrepresented as a man, she works tirelessly to bring the world to it's knees, and seems to get little to no respect. Her dedication to detail, planning and organizing of mayhem are of little interest to anyone, so the day has come, for Satan, to open up, and start to fill the void and love herself for who she is. This is not an easy undertaking, the therapist is human, and has a very limited understanding of dealing with demonic tendencies, Satan is very comfortable being scary. It all comes to the climax when the doctor, and the patient see each other for who they really are, a sad, desperately wanting to please god entity, and a woman who is really good at her job as a therapist. Satan knows that even though she may come to terms with issues she has with herself, her job remains to destroy the world, which might complicate the commute to therapy, . . . . . . #AmWriting #AmEditing #WordCount #WriterWednesday (or #WW) #WritersLife #YALitChat #LitChat (every M/W/F) #MemoirChat (every other Wednesday at 8 pm ET) #BookMarket (Thursday’s at 4 pm ET) #ScriptChat (Screenwriters) #PoetTues #ZineChat #WritingParty #IndieAuthors #WriteChat #NaNoWriMo #WANA #WritingTip #WriteTip #GetPublished #BookMarket #BookMarketing #PromoTip #SelfPublishing #SelfPub #Publishing #AskAgent #AskAuthor #AskEditor #EBooks #StoryStarter #WordAThon #Creativity #WIP #FridayReads #BookGiveaway #MustRead #LitChat #StoryFriday #MustRead #DEVIL #WOMENINFILM #SCREENWRITER

There was no funeral, because there was no body, or maybe not yet.

The Torchwood Jigsaw, and its sequel Asylum, by barbarosabee (AO3). It's based on the Saw movies, so massive warning for gore and horror, but if it's something you're into it's very tense and well written.

The Torchwood Jigsaw by barbarosabee (Gen | complete |  31,910 | Explicit) 

The Torchwood team finds themselves in a dark place, with no explanation of how they got there. Their only clues to escape are the raspy recordings left to them, which guide them through sadistic tests. Live or die, make your choice. Let the game begin.

Asylum by  barbarosabee (Gen | complete |  40331 | Explicit)

Sequel to The Torchwood Jigsaw
