FACADE

It was a feeling unlike any other, this tingling sensation.

On a normal day I would have taken it like a champ and pursued my object of desire.

But on that day something was different with the package this desire was aimed towards.

After telling myself that it was just the internet playing tricks on me I tried to avoid it.

But my lust grew.

So I gathered all my strength and decided to jokingly court them online hoping to satisfy them.

It wasn't enough and I felt as if I was going to explode any second now without my completely normal love.

As if God himself had been watching me cry and felt pity, I was offered a job to travel around the world.

Excited, I told my friends on the same discord server that housed my crush.

I announced where I'll be heading first and I couldn't believe what fate had in store.

A party.

For all of us to meet because of some stranger we were all going to be at the same place at the same time.

I told my best friend and I lost him.

Too blinded by my love I forgot about him and left, if he couldn't accept that I had changed then I didn't need him.

At the party I saw faces revealed to me on rare occasions.

No more hiding behind bad internet, I heard new voices.

But most importantly I heard an angel talk.

I couldn't pursue my love because everybody was excited and was spending too much time together.

I was being weird so I decided to go for a drive under the pretence of getting more ice.

When leaving the store I became dizzy and unable to function correctly.

I can't be drunk, there was something about losing my mind that discouraged me from drinking.

Then again, this feeling was more of thirst than it was of being intoxicated.

I looked up and was almost blinded by the moonlight.

With a parched throat I collapsed to the ground.

Looking forward I saw booze, soda and a bucket of blood.

Each beverage gave me a reason to consume it.

After a debate with them, I went in head first to what yearned out for the most.

A phone rang, but I didn't have a phone.

No worries, after that drinking spree I was much more bouncy and fearless.

What do you know!

It was my love over the phone, apparently everybody was worried about me

There were voices, clear voices as if they were next to me.

Apologizing and telling me not to go back.

But my love was strong.

I got into the car and went full speed ahead.

The party was lifeless.

Dead bodies as far as the eye can see.

In the middle was a man in a black robe.

He turned around and it was my love.

Upon seeing him, the sadness for my other friends faded.

Along with all the feelings in my body.

The numbness of being split in half at a supernatural speed did not take away my sight nor hearing.

"You're lucky to have faced me, the other one is crazy."

"But, but I love you." I grunted out in pain.

"HA!" a beautiful grin plastered itself on his face.

As he turned to walk away, I followed.

I grabbed and hugged him from behind.

"Didn't cut you in half? How are you whole again?"

"It is due to the power of love, I want to stay with you forever."

He flicked me over and put a machete through my heart, but it kept on beating.

That night he tried over and over again to kill me but failed.

From that day, we went on to live in LOVE FOREVER. the end.
