I saw another Proser do this, and I absolutely loved it. I'll start us off with a sentence, another person adds another sentence, then someone else adds another, and then so forth. Make sure you mark your title as your number. When we're all done, I'll string it together and we shall have a short story. Don't forget to tag me. Happy writing!

Its a strange thing, knowing that you’re going to lose your mind; you can’t fight inevitability.

Its a strange thing, knowing that you’re going to lose your mind; you can’t fight inevitability. You can feel it, watch it, experience every last bit of it as your sanity crumbles, and its so torturously slow.

The giggles that leave my scratchy throat sound like baby soft skin rubbing against sandpaper, feels about like that as well, but I don’t particularly care considering my brain is leaking from my ears in chunks and globs.

It’s a bit sad, not for you, but for all those who watch. For some odd reason they feel that choice is the only way to truly be human. What am I, then? An animal?

But animals can choose.

Something inanimate, then? Or have I simply ceased to exist?

You regret agreeing to this. Everything happening is your own fault... but a part of you knows this is the only way. If you hadn’t agreed to the torture, Amyah would be here, in your place. The blood pooling on the ground would be hers.

You close your eyes, and she is there, instead, the ends of her dress trailing through the blood, and you regret having wished for anything different, because it is your burden to bear. And while people are the only animals to ignore instinct, humans, she believes, are the (It cut off there, I don't know what they meant to say lol)

If you tune out the pounding footsteps, you can almost hear the whisper of wind chimes beyond her bedroom window, feel the warm press of a coffee mug against your smile. Amyah always forgot the sugar. You would wrinkle your nose and she would laugh until you smiled, too. Every morning, when I wake up, I feel a bit more beffudled, and the confusion lasts longer. The lasting effects, following me all day, take up more room in my mind, and take the place that holds all rational thought for their own.

I stop myself before I think anymore. That will trap me into this spiraling world of nothingness I call my head and my mind.

Stop myself from thinking because the only way to get through this is to become crazy. I will lose my head by my own free will. But not right now, when they aren’t here I like to pretend to be normal.

As I look deep.. Deeper into her sparkling eyes.. There's something I recognize. A flicker of something I couldn't quite place, but I know that it's something I've seen already.. I don't want the past to repeat.. Not again.
