Re:Connect – Luana Dockinson {Part 1} – Chapter 27

After traveling in claustrophobic quarters, sweating in anticipation, we finally made it to Floor 12. I kicked the vent hood down and we descended from the shaft. This particular lab was a giant chamber, as large as a military-grade garage. Soldiers and scientists were ready for us, but so were we. Jaden zapped the scientists … Continue reading Re:Connect – Luana Dockinson {Part 1} – Chapter 27

Amateur Cosplay: Halloween Town/Christmas Town from Kingdom Hearts II + OC Keyblade

For the past few years, my dabbling in cosplay has only gone as far as annual Halloween costumes. With a small budget, I have made decent cosplays for myself and for my siblings. However, after attending San Diego Comic-Con 2021: Special Edition, I was inspired to attempt to pursue cosplay as an active hobby. Thus, … Continue reading Amateur Cosplay: Halloween Town/Christmas Town from Kingdom Hearts II + OC Keyblade

Re:Connect – Luana Dockinson {Part 1} – Chapter 26

Then, behind the soldiers, I saw part of the door, creaking open. A silver haired boy, who looked like he was seventeen, quietly stepped out, looking at me, putting a finger over his mouth. I looked back at the lieutenant.  “Why are you doing this?” I asked, “you have no right to just kidnap whoever … Continue reading Re:Connect – Luana Dockinson {Part 1} – Chapter 26

Re:Connect – Luana Dockinson {Part 1} – Chapter 25

Sweat poured down my face and body for what seemed like an eternity. My mind flipped between worlds like television channels. A gentle cool breeze hit me. I was at home, trekking across the newly harvested fields. There was solace, but something was missing. I cried his name, but he did not answer. I wondered … Continue reading Re:Connect – Luana Dockinson {Part 1} – Chapter 25

Re:Connect – Luana Dockinson {Part 1} – Chapter 24

It was twelve thirty at night. I slowly slid open the door of our little hiding spot. I could see some guards on the top level with flashlights. I shut the door and began to sneak around. I dashed from one end to the next and headed up the stairs. The doors to all the … Continue reading Re:Connect – Luana Dockinson {Part 1} – Chapter 24

Re:Connect – Luana Dockinson {Part 1} – Chapter 23

Two days had gone by since Jaden helped me escape. He would come in and out every day, presumably to sneak into the cafeteria to get snacks. Particularly on the second day, I was sitting in the quiet when Jaden suddenly popped into existence. I jumped. “Geez, J!” I exclaimed. “Sorry,” Jaden responded, “I’m not … Continue reading Re:Connect – Luana Dockinson {Part 1} – Chapter 23

Re:Connect – Luana Dockinson {Part 1} – Chapter 22

I wasn’t sure how long I’d been here. I was losing track of time. Whether it was because we were underground, or I was simply not given the freedom to see the sun rise and fall. I was slowly growing weary. I longed for the fresh breeze against my face, I longed for the miles … Continue reading Re:Connect – Luana Dockinson {Part 1} – Chapter 22

Re:Connect – Luana Dockinson {Part 1} – Chapter 21

I heard rattling at the door. I sat up. Three guards came into the room. “Come with us” the leader ordered firmly. I eyed them suspiciously. I was even more hesitant to follow them, since last time I got sticked. Needless to say, it was very painful. Then, the leader forcefully grabbed my arm and … Continue reading Re:Connect – Luana Dockinson {Part 1} – Chapter 21

Re:Connect – Luana Dockinson {Part 1} – Chapter 20

I pulled my eyes open. My head throbbed, and I still felt weak. I found a tray of food on the floor above the cot. Curiously, it wasn’t gruel. It was more like a school cafeteria lunch: not great, but better than expected. However, looking at it made me feel sick, so I turned over. … Continue reading Re:Connect – Luana Dockinson {Part 1} – Chapter 20

Re:Connect – Luana Dockinson {Part 1} – Chapter 19

Ears rang and my head spun. After a few seconds of subsiding, I opened my eyes. I was in a dim, barely lit room, surrounded by metal. There was nothing but a platform that could barely qualify as a bed, and a door with a small window. I kept up and ran to the window … Continue reading Re:Connect – Luana Dockinson {Part 1} – Chapter 19
