  • Part 6 I don’t know how many cycles I have been through since Kat. Dozens, at least. Hundreds, probably. For the first few cycles after her, I did my best just to keep going. But after a time, something strange happened. I found myself able to forget. Not forever, and it wasn’t really forgetting. But

  • Part 5 “Are you ready, baby?” Kat asked as she smoothed out my shirt. “Not really,” I responded. “But let’s do this.” “Me either,” she said with a laugh. “But yes. Let’s.” She kissed me quickly and then led me by the hand into the next room. We were at Moon’s apartment. It was their

  • Part 1 Kat half-walked, half-dragged me down the street. I was terrified. My heart was in my throat, my cheeks were flushed, and I felt like I could barely breathe. I was so afraid of what would happen when I inevitably was dragged away from here, away from her, and that I knew I would

  • My eyes snapped open, and I felt the now familiar rush as my mind adjusted to this new reality. Once I calmed myself down, I sighed and forced myself to sit up and look around. It looked like a rather typical, if somewhat cramped, studio apartment. It was a bit messy, but considering the depression
