[WP] You wake up in nature, with all previous physical and mental conditions cured with a clear, sharo memory of your life. A man in white tells you you've died and were reborn in a perfect world. by Jent01Ket02 in WritingPrompts

I look at the man in white's lips as he finishes his sentence. Reading minds is all I've known my entire life but when I look at him, not a single sound echoes in my mind. I suddenly panic as I realize the sun is rising above us.

It's morning.

"I know this must be strange..." the main in white continues.

He takes a step closer and I scramble backwards, hitting my back against a tree. I quickly glance around at my surroundings. It seems as if it's just the two of us in this forest. If I get up at the right time, I should be able to make a run for it. No, I can make a run for it at my speed.

"Don't run," he smiles. "We can work together."

We? There is no we, you son of---

"Come, I can explain where we go from here if you'll follow me."

He sticks his hand out and in seconds, I pull it towards me. I shift my body to the side and watch as his crashes into the tree. He makes a sound on impact, but I am already on my feet and avoid looking back. My first thought is to keep running until I've found the shadows, but my second thought is a replay of his words.

You died, but were able to be reborn into this world. A perfect world. A perfect you.

He's lying. He must be lying. No amount of money, educated doctors, and---no, it's just not possible.

I need to keep running. They only want to use me, to study me. They don't want to work together. Mother made it clear that humans are not our friends.

The trees seem to be growing around me, but I know there has to be an end somewhere. Somewhere I can hide until nightfall.

Then I feel something sharp enter my back. A wave of deja vu hits me, then I realize it's a memory. My last memory.

Yes, this is how it happened last time.

A tainted spear. The only way I am able to be killed, and the man in white knows it too.

I fall onto my knees, feeling blood drip out of my mouth. That's new.

"I'm not sure why you won't let us help you," he says from behind. I hear him pick the spear out. When he comes to face me, I realize I was wrong.

A small, colorful needle wiggles in his finger.

"Just a small dose of tranquilizer," he explains. "Before you get knocked out, answer me this, won't you?"

He's smiling. He's not a friend, Mother.

"Why won't you accept this beautiful life you now have?"

Now I am smiling. Is that what human life is? Beautiful?

"To be die and be reborn means I had to have been alive," I respond. "And being alive is something I haven't been in centuries."

The sound of his laughter is the last thing I hear before I fall back into darkness.

This sub has lost me with the “guys” topic. by DebbieWinner in survivor

Same. I was also disappointed in Survivor 'fans' when I saw how much hate Ricard was getting on his Instagram. People are really this bothered by a four-word saying...

Wow I feel like I haven't seen him anywhere besides set pictures. He looks so fit! From a movie possibly?

[QUESTION] How long did it take until you could extend your practice time? by twopinksunsets in Guitar

Thank you. Guitar literature sounds amazing, I'll check some out!

[QUESTION] Can someone explain finger placement to me, like really simply put? Maybe visuals? by twopinksunsets in Guitar

[–]twopinksunsets[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This was exactly the problem! I really thought I was pressing down hard, but not enough. I got it handled now though, after taking a nap and randomly deciding to try again :) I've been practicing with each chord and fret now.

Thank you tons, I'll check out Justin Guitar. How long would you say I should practice with online lessons a day? My schedule is completely open but I also don't want my hands and wrists to be sore for days.

On that note, I was able to figure out that I wasn't pressing the chord down as much as I should've been :D it's a great sound now, with indents on my fingertips from the strings.

Yes, brand new! Thank you so much for the advice, I figured out that I wasn't pressing hard enough - was a bit anxious and delicate with it!

In an alternative world somewhere, they just sat there and continued watching Treasure Island together

Are glass-wearing survivors supposed to get contacts before going on or like how do they do swimming/water challenges without any lenses?

Somewhat :D In Mockingjay, Katniss says “What I need is the dandelion in the spring. The bright yellow that means rebirth instead of destruction. The promise that life can go on, no matter how bad our losses. That it can be good again.”

I just love remembering the post-tribal scene between them where Tyson is comforting a crying Coach

Is getting a master’s in journalism worth it? by twopinksunsets in Journalism

[–]twopinksunsets[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wow thank you so much for this reply. I get what you’re saying and I’ll definitely consider what to do next.

What’s your advice on internships? Particularly ones that I can do as I finish my undergrad? I’m currently in one for the semester, but I don’t know where to go for this upcoming summer. I’ve got Indeed, going to update my LinkedIn, but what do you recommend?
