Quantum Entanglement: a phenomenon where two particles are separated by time and space; what affects one, affects the other at the same time regardless of the distance between them. The particles are connected (entangled) and share an energetic signature.

Quantum Disentanglement: a process by which two entangled particles collide under extreme conditions and the resultant reaction propels them apart.


"I miss you!" she screamed into the void.

Only silence answered. It should've been his voice. She'd gotten used to hearing it, used to knowing he would answer back no matter where he was. Because he enjoyed her companionship in the same way she enjoyed his. Or so he'd said. So she believed.

Maybe she shouldn't have agreed to meet him. Maybe she shouldn't have shown him the casual side of her. Maybe she shouldn't have been so playful. Stood so close. Been so scared to meet his family. Allowed him to touch her.

Maybe. Maybe. Maybe.

Or maybe none of it could've been avoided. Maybe they were meant only to collide. But then why did she still vibrate?

Somewhat reminds me of my own disfunction; An example being that my wife and I were never actually supposed to meet. It was on all levels... a blatant defiance of fate. Yet those with whom She kept company kept on pushing us together, even though I told her and everyone else "No, not a good idea". Now, instead, finding a turn during my headache of finally getting rid of the burden from all ends, I find something that seems to enjoy torturing me.

Sounds a little familiar, doesn't it?

Can a guy defy fate?

Sometimes I succeed and sometimes I don't,
but either way every action and inaction has its cost..

Fate is determined by you. Success is met only under your own definition.

She stood at the window, fingers curled around the sill. Her fingernails settled into the little half moon scars in the wood.

The tall grass three stories below swayed. Waves upon waves of green shimmered in the fading sunlight, but she couldn't feel the breeze. Everything was warm. Stifling. She rasped in a shallow breath, tugging at the ribbon around her throat.

She couldn't take it off. Wouldn't take it off. No matter how hard it was to breathe.

The trees on the horizon shuddered, and she leaned forward, heart lurching. But no shadow stirred. Another false alarm.

Her damp forehead met the glass with resignation as the final few rays were pinched into twilight. Hands shaking, she lit the candle on the nearby desk and moved it into place in the center of the pane. The flame and its reflected twin danced in unison as the wax progressively shrunk to a stub. Minutes. Hours. She lit another, eyes fixed on a treeline she could no longer see in the darkness.

Someone knocked. Probably her sister with dinner. But she wasn't hungry. Not today.

Her stomach clenched, and she placed a hand on her abdomen, clawing the loose fabric into a fist. Strange to think it'd been tight only a few weeks ago. Strange to think a lot of things.

She stood until her legs ached and her head started to spin, then sat on the bed. Paper crinkled softly at her fingertips. At some point, she'd slid her hand into her pocket. She didn't need to read it again to see the words in her mind.

Tears fell in straight lines down her cheeks, drippping from her chin. Some finding a path all the way to the ribbon, darkening its already stained edge.

Vision blurry, she laid down at last. Slowly to keep the room from spinning. Allowing the exhaustion in at last.

As her eyelids fell, a voice whispered, "That's my good kitten. Sleep now. Tomorrow is a new day."

A strangled sob broke through her lips.
