Dear Alien chapter 1

1
Dear Alien,
If you’re reading this you have taken over me or somehow killed me.
Thanks, from the bottom of my heart.
This hell that is my life now can’t end. Never ends. And so you have taken out of my misery. And that’s why I thank you…
Right now, I’m sitting in Alien Human Experimentation Labs. My pencil is quivering in my hand. I shouldn't be writing with a dislocated shoulder, but I don’t care.  I need to write this.
I put down the pencil and roll my sore wrist. How long has it been since I’ve written? It feels like centuries. But my normal life- my life before the aliens- only ended two and a half years ago. So it’s much, much less than centuries.
I turn my head to inspect my captor. He was turned with his back to me. Unusual, but I’ll take the window.
I pick up my pencil again and return to my letter.
I'm a prisoner, owned by AHE. Your company, your people, your kind. Yeah, you. Thanks to you, I’ve been broken- physically and mentally- more times than I can count. I’ve been bent to see how far that can go without breaking. I end up breaking again. Experiment after experiment done on me.
But why me?
Why me?
Why am I the one here?
WHY NOT EVAN, HUH?
I break out sobbing. The pencil slips out of my fingers as I shove my hands on my face, trying to muffle the noise of my cries. I cry out, wordlessly, as emotions, thoughts and memories get the best of my mind.
I see it again.
The horrifying image, like a searing burn, a reopened wound.
Not now.
Not this.
Get it out.
Out.
OUT.
I sob for another few minutes, rocking back and forth, tears pricking my eyes and rolling down my cheeks.
I look out the tiny window in my room. The moon peeks through the bars, like an old friend or a significant other climbing up a ladder to see you, like Jughead did in Riverdale.
Hey there, Juliet.
I sigh and climb up the stack of empty boxes I made leading up to the barred window. I look out at the night sky, breathing in the cold, crisp smell.
That clears my mind up well.
I slowly make my way down the ladder and curl into the small bed I have. It squeaks as I roll over and snuggle into my pillow.
As soon as I drift into sleep, my Nightmare Express starts up, with a silent roar and a scream ringing in my ears.
My own.

So about Death's Duty Calls...

I'd suggest reading this before Death's Duty Calls. Hi! Hello. If you don't know this yet I am a real human being, I'm a proud Canadian and I love writing. This play you're about to read, this play right here is mine, and it's based off my interactions with a certain friend. I won't call him out, but he'll know who he is. So yeah. Feel free to use this play. It runs about an hour and a half in length. The word use is fairly basic , but some of the themes addressed in the play are PG13 ( drinking, intimacy, homosexuality and abuse to name a few ). I, the author, suggest a high-school level audience and actors . A lot of the characters have loose looks ( looks that aren't addressed in the play ), and some are set. Here's a list of characters. Whatever is in bold  is said in-play, whatever is not is how I see them and is open to change and interpretation. Anything not mentioned is yours to decide. Jeannine "Jay" Moses - Female, h...

The First Trio- How Marrena joined the Mythicals (Part 2)

After a long two kilometres of walking, Zinah started to complain. "Why can’t I just air- or earth-bend myself there?" "The wind would send the trail flying," Saryn said simply. "And the earth thing would mess it up too." "But how far can this thing walk while shot and after a fight?" Zinah asked again, only to be shushed by Saryn. The trail entered a cave. Firelight came out of it, casting deep, scary shadows out in the snow. "Are you sure we should go in?" Zinah asked, scared. "We’ll be fine." Saryn pulled out an arrow and nocked it into her bow. Zinah gulped but slunk forward with her bodyguard. Saryn fired the arrow. A scream filled the cavern. "That was... not that monstrous," Saryn said, tilting her head. "Maybe..." She was cut off by a tan blur jumping on her and knocking her down. Zinah let out a scream, but Saryn stayed calm, pulling out her sword and slicing her enemy. The thing slowed, ...
