Heartbreak, tears, pain, loneliness, power and control.
This was what Alice's marriage had been for thirty years. Alice wasn't allowed to see her friends or family. She'd never been allowed to have friends or wear the clothes she wanted.
One day her husband Jim cheated on her. He thought that it would scare Alice into staying. He knew he had a lot of control over her mind.
He knew because of his reputation, everybody would think she was crazy if she spoke out.
After thirty years of sadness, Alice left the pain and tears behind.
She was free at last.

“During the Metal Age, humans took photographs of everything beautiful, which was everything, yet machines did not even wear shoes. The Fauxna thought of a better way. They colored all of the light rose, for a corrupted source cannot be verified.” - Origin Parable, 011

Letters to No One in Particular
The first thing Thomas did every morning was check his handwriting. Not for quality — he had no particular investment in penmanship — but for continuity. He kept a notebook on whatever bedside table he found himself beside, a small red notebook that was always there regardless of which body he woke up in, which he had stopped questioning because some things resist questioning and the notebook was one of them. He would sit up, locate the notebook, uncap the pen clipped to its cover, and write a single sentence in the top margin of whatever page came next.

I was able to catch my cheating girlfriend and raise my credit score to 850 thanks to the expert ProfessorVenom69 @ gmail dot Com. I was able to access her texts, calls and live location which made it easy for me to catch her in the act. I'm a single guy now which is better than being in a bad relationship and still in contact with ProfessorVenom69.. You can contact him if you need help
