My journey….two months ago I thought I was having a stroke…panic attack…next day I had back to back anxiety attacks in waves every couple minutes and I was extremely dizzy so I went to the ER. Had about three more panic attacks that I could breathe through and then bam! ER with an extreme panic attack that they found put me in SVT and now I’m on propranolol..I’ve had so many symptoms since then, chest pain, headaches, tingling, numbness, loss of feeling in both arms and hands, palpitations, dizziness, back pain…you name it…I’ve had an echo, stress test, ekg, blood tests, endoscopy, colonoscopy, mri of neck, ct scan of chest, abdomen and head…what gives…never having anxiety before and all of a sudden it’s 24/7? My main concern is chest pain in my heart area and back 24/7…nothing alleviates it and doctors think I’m nuts for feeling all of these new symptoms and being concerned…its way more physical than mental…my mental was fine…I still expose myself, I still do things…any advice PLEASE!!!

In my view, such extreme (and permanent) alterations reflect a profound lack of self-acceptance and an unhealthy fixation on superficial beauty. It's not just the giant lips—people are getting rhinoplasties, facelifts, eyelid surgeries, brow lifts, chin and cheek augmentations, ear surgeries, neck lifts, and loading up on dermal fillers and Botox. When someone has altered their face to the point of being almost unrecognizable, it’s hard to trust their grasp on reality.
They had the money and time to spend, yet chose to make themselves look like something out of a parody. What doctors used to call a condition needing therapy is now being indulged with a scalpel. Sure, everyone has the right to do what they want with their bodies, and I respect that in principle. But let's not pretend that these extreme modifications don't raise serious red flags about the fundamental clarity of a person’s mind.

I always had problems with my right ear. It would always get clogged with ear wax and I knew I have to go to the ER and have it cleaned like once every 2 years. For like 2 weeks my ear would get blocked whenever I woke up, so I just would go to the bathroom and clean it up with soap and towels. It was fine then.
However, a couple of days ago I woke up with a blocked ear (as usual) but I also started hearing a high pitched sound in that right ear. It got me worried a little so after a couple of days I went to the clinic and had my ear cleaned completely, but it didn’t go away. I just don’t know if I should wait a little until the ringing goes away? Could that ringing noise be caused by the ear blockage?

My gal is cool as a cucumber, provided I respect her boundaries, one of which being not purposefully touching from her waist, back. I check daily for ticks. Ears, front paws, neck folds are no problem, but her back paws are a no go. In your experience, how likely is a dog to have a tick between toe pads, and not indicate that there is an issue there (biting at the paw ect.)? I want to keep her safe but I also enjoy my current lack of bandaids and her trust in me that I will respect her space. Thoughts??

Bought a pair of QCs to replace and aging pair of QC35s a few months ago and overall I’m kinda unhappy with certain aspects of it mainly the noise canceling. Primary complaint is the max noise canceling mode has constant white noise and I feel quite a bit of pressure on my ears. As well if let’s say a frying pan was to drop near by that pressure I speak gets a lot worse and the sound the pan makes gets amplified which is very uncomfortable. The “wind block” mode is the most usable but I don’t feel like the ANC is as good as my old 35s. Have had multiple people complain about mic quality and it sounds like a pick up issue since they tend to say I’m cutting out over the phone. Just overall disappointing since I loved my 35s for years and they were fantastic. Anyways would love to hear people’s experience and opinions on their QCs.

Light on the horizon. That was it. Diak got to his weary feet, ignoring the blisters in his sandels, the blood on his robe. It was time. A whole evening had passed with him behind the Golem wall, safe yet worried sick. He listened with guilt at the commotion off in the surrounding wilderness.
His companions were out there, alone in the night and naked to all that came along with it.
The Servers rushed to their mounts at the first slithers of sun wending unto the oasis on the dry morning air. Diak took one desperate heave of his pipe sucking with all he had, craving relief, craving a numbness for what tragedy he would witness today.
'Please be okay' he murmured under a plume of smoke. Then he followed the sworn men.
Trumpets blared, though they were not needed the Servers were already awake and raring. 25 of them. Diak had counted them over and over in the dark as they waited by their horses with restless legs, loading their lances and quivers onto their bedraggled saddles.
Despite his pleas they would not attempt a rescue at night. He could see their creed pained them almost as much as it pained him. Couldn't afford the risk they told him, too few Servers left to man the wastes these days they said. Your friends are likely dead they said, as kindly as they could.
But no mater they streaked across the waking land past the crumbling graffitied golems, out of tendrils of grass and into the give of shallow sands.
He held on to the waist of Batesai and shouted directions into the veteran's ears. He had told him over and over again the very spot the night before, in weeping frenzy.
He could bot begrudge the riders, they ran their mounts as hard as they could, out east past a fallen caravan and its corpses, past the canyons Bar-al-Duhal. Biege land streaked past Diak's watery vision. He pressed his face into Batesai's shoulder wiping his tears hiding from the wind, praying to gods he did not believe in. His stomach sank as he heard the hooves slow and riders woah their steeds.
He lifted his head shakily. Blood was everywhere, dried for the most part, black in the unrenting first light. The Unders were torn to pieces, beetles feasting on their flesh and only scurrying away, flitting under the sand, when horde drew close.
Where were they?
Diak gasped. A giant was hunched over deathly still with eyes wider than the sockets they housed in it seemed. Sangar was apart from the slain beasts, the muck of gore spattered across his clean shaven face. The killer was crying like a loyal hound. He sat beside timo, who looked somehow younger, somehow more naiive, dead, his insides leaching into the sand like inverse roots burrying away from life.
'My throat' the giant whispered as the riders circled him 'hurts'
'You've many wounds warrior be still' said a dismounting rider
Diak for the first time in a long time couldn't find words. He lurched off the steed, falling to the floor in a thudding mess. He ran then slid to Sangar's side. His companion took no notice of him. If anything he shirked away to cover Timo's body better from the circling vultures above. He flinched as Diak reached out his hand.
'You're going to be alright fella!' Diak stuttered
'It's...something hurts' Sangar stuttered
He wiped the grime off Sangar's bull neck. There was no wound to be seen. The giant moved not an inch. The rest of him was covered in deep festering cuts. Bite marks in his neck, half an ear hanging off. He would likely not make the trip back. Sangars grey eyes remained unfocused.
Sangar let out a wine like a dying dog.
'It hurts,' Sangar said, panicked now wide eyed, still not recognising Diak. he seemd to be talking to himself. He gasped. Which made Diak worried. He had never seen Sangar uncomposed 'My throat...it, what's happening'
Then the killer blubbered tears streamed out of his confused face The most terrifying man Diak had seen became a young boy with a broken heart. Without thinking Diak hugged the filthy warrior to the audience of the Servers. The giant shuddered then slumped limply with heaving sobs. Sangar howled a broken howl, a scream of survival, yet a scream of defeat.
'Its okay boy' diak whispered and he looked in his pockets for something to kill the pain.

Idk if I’m just sensitive but the white noise that happens when you put the buds in your ears always gives me a headache anyone else ? Any remedies or suggestions?

About a week ago, I posted to the subreddit about my recent lower back pain. Following some advice, I fast tracked a doctor's appointment I already had to see about the pain. The doctor didn't do any of the slump test or straight leg tests or whatever, but did talk to me about the pain and felt my back and all.
Coming out of it, the doctor said it was muscle spasms, I walked out with two shots (solumedrol and ketorolac) and three pill medications (Medrol, Tramadol, and Methocarbamol). The Tramadol was a 3day supply, and the Medrol was in a pack that decreased the dosage every day, so today I'm basically just on the Methocarbamol; I have maybe like 5 days more of the medicine.
I feel a lot better recently, but I don't know how much of that might go away when I stop the Methocarbamol, as that's the muscle relaxant. I'm hoping there's not return of too much pain, since the medicine makes me a little foggy, so I'd prefer to be off it. My sleep still sorta suffers, and the positions that I've found to help (on my side with pillows) is sorta unnatural to me, since usually that was a way of making my back feel bad (I have to like curl up a lot more than usual).
But in the meantime, some other issues have cropped up. I've recently been having some upper back pain, though this is a more traditional stiff back sort of pain. Perhaps my upper back is in some way compensating, or it's not used to me sitting with a proper posture. Similarly, I've also been getting a stiff neck; it feels like a I have a crick in it that I can't crack. (Also, though not really an issue, my back cracks really easily? Like, if I'm sitting down, and realize my posture is slightly off, shifting to that posture cracks my back? It's weird.)
I've also started to sit with a more proper posture, get up more often from my desk, and I have started doing the "Big 3" exercises and some glute exercises, in the hope of mitigating future back pain. I'm basically following this exact webpage entirely, so hopefully everything there is correct. I didn't realize how much the Big 3 exercises were like, actual exercise, so I'm currently doing them like every other day instead of every day.
I'm just wondering is there anything more I can do to help my current situation, and to help prevent issues in the future.

So I have had pimples/acne since I was like 15, around 8 years now. I havent ever been diagnosed with acne and fortunately I dont have cystic acne or anything like that.
I want a girl, but I dont want to go on a date because of my pimples.
I am sick of feeling trapped by my skin, its so not fair - I always think positively about my skin that one day I will have perfect korean skin, but as hard as I try... it never comes.
I have tried literally EVERYTHING under the sun, that is natural or an easily accessible topical, and have forever avoided pharmaceutical drugs, however I am so sick of it, I almost dont care for the consequences of them anymore.
I havent tried many prescription topicals, only 1 and it made my skin burn like crazy.
I have combination skin and its sooooo sensitive its no joke.
Anything you can think of when it comes to diet and lifestyle, I have tried.
I currently am living such a strict diet/lifestyle, for 2 months and right now I am having one of the worst breakouts on my neck and jawline I have ever seen,
For the last 1.5 years, I have hardly eaten any dairy, milk, bready products - try avoid gluten.
I work out almost every day, go for a walk every day, I work from home and my business does well so I don't stress about money, I drink 3-4L of water a day. I never ever ever drink anything else other than water, I refuse.
Right now my diet is less than 20 ingredients (and it has been this way for 2 months)
chicken, turkey, rice, potato, capsicum, onion, garlic, grapes, mandarin, egg, egg whites, salt, virgin olive oil (expensive as possible)
I kid you not, this is what I have eaten for 2 months while working out almost every day, walking every day, getting some sun almost every day, drinking 3-4l of water per day.

• btw I tried eliminating eggs, that didnt do anything. so i bought them back because of the good macros

As for my skincare routine, I wash my face morning and night, and moisturize after.
Once a week I do a nose pore strip and a hydrating facial mask - which admittedly irritates my skin a little but never breaks out after, always looks much more hydrated and tight the next day or two - so I keep doing it.
This is getting beyond a joke, I have tried so many different things.
PLEASE send any recommendations
I did check out another thread and it mentioned searching my moisturizer on a comedogenic ingredient finder, which I did for mine and it has Myristyl so I am ordering the highest recommended moisturizer on the forum to try that: La roche posay toleriane double repair uv spf 30
Any help would be so so so appreciated.
I am against the prescription drugs like accutane, roaccutane - idek if thats how you spell them, but still send them in anyway + your experience because im getting to the point i might consider it.
THIS IS BEYOND A JOKE.
Edit: I wanted to add that I wash my pillow cases weekly, my sheets bi-weekly. I never ever touch my face without washing my hands, and I do not subconsciously touch it while working either (this took me months of practice to get right)
Based on some further research since I am only getting the bad stuff on my jawline and neck, it could be due to my skin’s oil glands reacting to hormone fluctuations - with recommendations of oral pills to be taken for this - I did find Spironolactone in another thread, however this blocks testosterone production which I do not want as it is an anti-androgen.

hello, i just wanted to write this so people can defend themselves, im a former military officer in europe, so this guide is only for civillians.
before we start: if you live in USA or any other country that you can carry a gun easy just do it, things im writing is 100x more effective with any single pistol.
Concealment; pocket knifes are easy to carry, you can carry it anywhere with you and you should do, most of the time you need that knife will be at any random time, just carry a knife that you can open silently and with one hand, blade length around 7-18cm will be fine most of the time, opt for fixed blades, as people think butterflies and karambits are cool, butterflies can break easy with just one bolt holding the blade, karambit is designed for slicing and cutting, if you dont have any training with karambit it will make it useless.
Uses: the second you pull the knife, you ESCALATE the situtation to LIFE AND DEATH scenario, so keep that in mind and dont pull it because you got mad at some random dude at street, use it as a suprise element or when you intent to kill someone 100% or save yourself, a knife will always get you out of situtations compared to nothing.
Before action; knives are more scary than guns for most people, if you get pulled a knife you will know that its scary, human brain is designed to avoid stressing events, and your brain will actively try to get avoid being stabbed instead of being shot also be ready for gore, unlike guns knifes are much more violent,aggresive tools and you will quickly discover how much blood in human body, get a good grip on the knife, use icepick grip since you are intending to kill them, knifes dont really mock a human, even with most fatal stabs, you can at least still fight for 2-3 mins,
Action phase; so you decided to escalate the situtation, and you are ready for consuquences, open the blade quickly and silently, most people dont realise they been stabbed, so it will take you around 1-2 seconds to stab someone, with some 5-10min training it you can do it, after first stab our mission is to end the fight or gain time, as i said humans are tend to rate their injuries very well compared to other animals so if you stab someone the neck, face, body, they will back off and run, let them run. if they don't try to gain time if you stabbed these areas(i will detail them later) they much likely have no more than 3 minutes to enter blood shock and probably 5 minutes to coma.
Gaining time; after your first stab, you are fighting against clock, if you didnt get a proper stab, go for it again, with each stab you are fastening your opponents time to enter shock, but no person can be downed with one stab(unless movies) adrenaline is a real thing, after 3-4th stab, back off descalate the fight or keep harrasing them from range, no unarmed person can win against someone with a blade, even 3-4 guys cant beat someone with knife.
Where to hit?; we mainly try to hit arteries first, arteries can't be stopped bleeding without professional medical care, neck is a awesome spot, dont try to stab the skull, it will break the knife's blade, arms and legs are good since they can't be use their stabbed arm/leg after 30 seconds if you stabbed them from leg, especially quad or hamstrings, they will drop in seconds, they can get up but its pretty hard to run after that moment, chest area is good, but you can't stab the heart, its so hard any you need a special training for it, ribs can break the blade too, face is awesome spot to stab, it doesnt do a lot of damage but its so scary for most people they back off, especially if blood gets in their eye, they cant see, and you will win instantly, if you stab them in the eye(which is hard but try it if you had oppurtinity) they will at least be blinded or if blade reaches brain they will get mocked or die at scene, stomach area is good but a lot of fat covers that area for that reason, also be reminded you are not a professional, so you will be probably panic and just randomly stab everything you see.
Versus other knifes; dont, the winner of the knife fight will die at hospital, if they too have a knife, back off. if you dont you will both die, if they have a gun backoff, you are not john wick and you cant take their gun and stab them etc.
experiences; i will not get too much detail here but, i stabbed a guy in the neck around middle east, below ear, he didnt notice it for 10-20 seconds, after that he kinda realised the situtation and backed off instantly holding his hand in his neck, there was blood fucking everywhere, its no different than oil, its so slippery. after a minute he kinda felt euphoric and talked to me about how he loved her wife and didnt thinked to be dying like this, he was still standing still and slightly smiling, after 2 minutes, he fell on ground still awake, and i leaved after being emotionally shocked(it was my first time using my knife) he 100% died at there, literally pool of blood was there, everywhere, but not a single drop on the knife.
ex2; first time i had been attacked by a dog, i was in mosque's 2nd floor, holding my 2 hour guard in the night, so we will get back on foot morning, i heard some arabic yelling and dog barks, after 15 seconds later i heard paw sound climbing the stairs, and second i turn my back dog was on my chest, mauled me to the ground, i instantly got bit from my arm(we learned in training to let the dog bite our arm, dont pull it shake it etc) and pulled my mk1 bayonet, stabbed the dog very panicky, dog kinda whined and backed off letting my arm and laid on the floor whining, died a minute later.
so this is my guide, any questions are welcomed, also dont forget this guide is only for people who cant carry a gun, knifes are terrible for self defence, but great killing tools.

i think i have the flu.. not sure. I started feeling sick last thursday with a tickle in my throat and had a fever by the nighttime. fever stuck on and off for 2 days with severe aches, chills, sweats, heart racing. day 3 i got a full blown head cold with blocked nose, pressure headaches, ears plugged. i’m on day 6 and i still have pressure headache.. nose is less stuffy but still a ton of post nasal drip. i feel absolutely exhausted no matter how much i sleep. i feel weak, shaky, nauseous all day long. to the point i don’t think i could walk any real distance.. started coughing like no tomorrow this morning, hardly getting anything up but a little bit. it feels so…. gross to breathe in my windpipes. i don’t know how to describe it. i’m starting to get a bit worried at how ill i feel for the 6th day though. Is this normal?

Hi! What other diagnostic testing should be requested? I’m having a very hard time being taken seriously by my last few PCPs and am trying to push for further specialist referrals and tests. I have been very dismissed and feeling crazy. I even sought a psychiatrist thinking maybe all this was in my head after all and they have supported me in continuing to push for answers because I am in fact not crazy lol.
I’ve had the following done and come back normal, but wondering if there is anything else my PCP should check before ruling out lupus definitively.
Came back normal-
CBC, metabolic panels repeated 2021-2024
2022- ANA
2024- rheumatoid factor Cyclic certificates peptide DNA DS antibody Chromatin neucleosomal antibody Complement components c3c and c4c Sed rate by modified westergren Complete abdomenal ultrasound Vitamin D, B12, Iron, Ferritin
Came back abnormal- 2022-2024 antiphospholipid antibodies B2 glycoprotein IGM high
2024- head mri with/ without contrast- few white matter lesions and scarring
2023- HLA- DQ8 genetic variant confirmed
I’ve got a whole host of symptoms that are both lupus and other auto immune specific. These include: Brain fog Extreme fatigue Memory issues Intermittent Butterfly and raised skin rash Feeling like I’m sunburnt even after only a few minutes outside Intermittent hearing issues Intermittent balance/ coordination issues Severe skin breakouts, digestive issues Constant illness Joint pain Swollen sore hands Numbness and tingling hands and feet Bladder retention and emptying issues Choking/ swallowing issues, chronic cough Pinpoint burning or itching sensation Since I was young, but now increasing again: “aura” like migraine or seizure aura without any headache or obvious seizure activity. Only other way I can explain this is “Alice in wonderland syndrome” (see fastfeeling)
My doctor has questioned SLE, MS but not really super conclusively. I also have wondered if celiac could be a factor but was informed after ANA testing that I may not have been eating gluten in my diet long enough for it to show other than the genetic test (usually avoid gluten by chance). I also have not yet heard back from my PCP on the results of the MRI- these findings were taken directly from the report uploaded in my patient portal. My family history is questionable as my mom was adopted, no one in my family really goes to the dr. Only Cancers and brain tumors have been confirmed. The most troublesome issues as of late are the cognitive issues and my hearing going out. It’s a few minutes or a few hours one ear at a time, pressure and muffled hearing. Any thoughts are appreciated, as I am exhausted

Hey everbody! I've been scrolling on this sub for a while now.
I've got a question... Since two months I'm going to the physio. She massages my triggerpoints and helps me with other pains I have. I'm going to try dry needling soon.
I am/get EXTREMELY sore in my trapezius muscles due to stress and emotional blockades. I have a very good posture and I workout/dance a few times a week. I have a fairly long neck, so when my trapezius muscles are stiff, you literally can see the muscles emphasized as 'bumps'. I use heating & cooling gel, keep my neck/trapezius warm and I try to massage myself. My physiotherapist also massages my trapezius every week.
Within 2 weeks I'm gonna see a professional masseur, and try cupping. I wonder what it's going to do for me.
But... I really feel the need to get massaged every day. Literally every single day. Does anyone experience this? I feel so 'stuck' physically and emotionally... And when I get massaged I genuinly feel so much better; ofcourse mentally because it's relaxing, but mostly because I truly feel like NEED it for my physical wellbeing as my trapezius gets so stiff and the muscles get literally hard as rocks...

Luna VI query: Set the source to the leaked files of the first reconnaissance operation of Irisa.
Certainly!
Luna VI query: What did Ryo do during the first hour of the war?
***
Ryo had already reached a state of full awareness after waking up, and yet he hadn't moved an inch, immersed in his inner world as he thought about what he and Elysira had done at night.
And what a wild night it was.
The way that she had skipped the journey to go straight for the finishing line had caught him unprepared. Still, with the mystery of their physical compatibility out of the way from the get-go, Ryo had been left with a lot of time to explore the other hiccups and perks of this interspecies endeavor.
From the occasional accident with her claws to the new possibilities her tail brought to the table, Ryo had enjoyed everything.
There was not an ounce of regret in him, but the memory of their last act lingered incessantly in his thoughts—a vivid Recollection of Elysira’s tail wrapping around his leg and letting silence prevail as his arm shyly enveloped her, allowing them to fall asleep side by side.
The one memory that held him in place, fearing their next interaction when the slightest of his movements would inevitably wake her up, mirroring what had happened all in the previous mornings.
What would she say?
Would she think that they are in a relationship now?
What would he do if the concept of casual hook ups didn't exist for the Irisians?
Ryo touched his face and shook his head, instantly deciding it was time to start his morning routine to distract him from those absurd thoughts.
The brain IO interface captured his intention, turning on the lights on the ceiling with maximum brightness, something that he was sure would wake her up at once given how sensitive to change all Irisians were.
And yet he was wrong.
Elysira’s head tilted away from the light as eyelids fluttered, but the only other thing she did before stopping moving was strengthening her grip on his leg quite a bit, making him realize that her tail had not let go of him the whole night.
Upon noticing how numb his leg felt, Ryo propelled his body upwards, intending to uncoil her tail from his leg and start his day. Hopefully, Elysira wouldn't mention what they did, and he too would be able to pretend it never happened.
However, the moment his upper body lifted from the ground and he got a full view of her body, he was unable to remove her tail from his leg, captivated by a simple but powerful sight.
With her hands inside the pockets, Elysira had used his jeans to restrain her claws, putting herself in a very uncomfortable position, likely afraid of hurting him during her sleep.
His eyes widened, dispersing his previous train of thought from existence. The hand that was supposed to be dealing with her tail moved toward Elysira's exposed neck instead, aiming to wake her up with a gentle touch.
And as if he had just perturbed the stillness of a calm lake with a stone, a barely perceptible ripple of yellow spread on her skin from the contact with his fingertips. It traveled through her neck, reaching the soft lines of her face, and even traveled down her long hair strands.
At the same time that it felt wrong to be able to take a peek at her emotions so easily, Ryo couldn't help but wonder—which other colors had the darkness stolen from him? While immersed in this question, Ryo kept caressing her neck until her eyes opened slowly, resetting all the back spots of her body at once as consciousness took control over instinct.
Elysira’s grip on his leg loosened when she realized she was overdoing it. Her gaze started scanning every inch of him, starting from the accidental scratches of her own making and unashamedly stopping at places she had not seen before.
Unbothered by her curiosity, he even removed some of the loose strands in front of her eyes and threw them behind her long ears to make her job easier, feeling some apprehension only when she lost interest and sought eye contact.
Traces of purple appeared around her black spots as she spoke. "What do you humans do after... what we did?"
Ryo winced, but his tone was gentle. "Silly girl!" He felt deep regret for how he had skipped the part of Irisian relationships in favor of politics when she was teaching him about her species. "It could be everything or nothing."
He expected some intense reaction from Elysira, but there wasn't a lot of emotion showing. As he searched her skin, he also realized he was unable to look at her the same way as before.
From seeing her small breasts, which he now knew for a fact fit on his hands, to the very memory of all evenness that he now was able to associate with the sheen her skin exhibited from certain angles, Ryo realized he had lost the ability to gauge her emotions without feeling a hint desire.
She noticed how long he was staring at her and a hint of yellow appeared. "I don't need everything, but nothing is not enough!"
How did Ryo fail to see that this conversation would inevitably happen when they were having fun at night?
"Oh!" He was unable to keep his mouth shut, which resulted in red and purple manifesting on her skin as he felt the pressure for a quick reply.
He had heard the Irisians speaking terms such as chosen, mate, and family, but Ryo didn't know much about this, and now was not looking like a good time for asking for clarification.
The translator would do its job in conveying his intention. But what would he say? Friends with benefits maybe? He gave up that one on the spot; he didn't consider their previous relationship a friendship, and somehow, he felt a dangerous desire to want more than that from her.
Under the pressure of his previous mistake, he told her the highest relationship he was willing to have without a care in the world for consulting his superiors. "Is girlfriend good for you?"
Elysira’s eyes widened as her skin maintained the same tones. But it lasted only a second before a golden hue took over, leaving little room for her black spots. "Wait, are you serious? I never thought you would consider anything more than being my exclusive pair."
"I am serious, but what's the difference?" Ryo instantly felt he could have gotten away with being just friends with benefits.
"Two differences." She took her clawed hands from the pockets of his jeans and pressed them against his neck in a fast but controlled movement. "One is implied trust." Her head approached him slower as if she would kiss him, but instead, her lips diverted toward his ears where she whispered, "And the other is a promise for the future."
"That seems alright."
As he said that, Elysira had already started taking little bites on his earlobe, her other hand joining around his neck while her tail was sneakily pushing the rest of her body on top of him.
"This will have to be quick, we-"
Ryo was about to give up the time they had for breakfast, when a powerful explosion shook the ground, causing the whole tent to vibrate.
Elysira’s pointy ears began to twitch and her body receded, trying to get of clue of what happened as she displayed purple. "I hear nothing."
"This was not far from here; I don't think it was a landslide." Ryo summoned a window with all the cameras outside and found nothing unusual, even with the infrared inspection.
Elysira could see what he was doing since they had never left the shared augmented space.
"Can we see what Amara is doing? She might know more than us."
He still was incapable of referring to her as his girlfriend even in his thoughts, but he still felt a hint of pride for her quick thinking. "Let's see."
He quickly summoned a live feed and promptly instructed the AI to go through the recordings of the whole night. "Nathan and that princess are still inside the tent. Time to go there."
Ryo wasted no time explaining, quickly standing up to begin the search for his underwear. The floor was still littered with paper sheets, and there were even some opened water bottles around, but he still found what he was looking for before pulling his jeans from under Elysira’s butt and getting dressed with haste.
He wore his shoes but didn't bother with his shirt and jacket, just taking his already loaded gun from the holster and getting some spare ammunition before heading outside cautiously.
"I'm going with you." She got out of the tent almost at the same time as him, proving that not needing clothes had its advantages.
"Stay close." He activated the infrared view mode and scanned the surroundings just to be sure, then hasted his steps towards Nathan's tent which was about forty meters ahead.
There was little he expected would go wrong on such a short journey, but Elysira’s ears began to twitch halfway through, prompting him to stop advancing. "Hear someone?"
"Something." She then used her tail to point uphill, in the direction where the rest of the group had set camp on the previous day. "I think it's a drone."
"Fuck, I hope you are wrong." He raised his 3D-printed revolver and felt like cursing more at the fact he didn't even have a proper pistol, pulling back the harmer and getting himself in front of Elysira.
Thanks to her acute hearing, when he heard the buzzing of the drone, his gun was already pointing in the right direction. Upon getting the first glimpse of the flying object and noticing how fast it was moving, he didn't hesitate to do a partial activation of combat mode.
The world slowed down for a moment, allowing him to see the device flying among the very few beams of blue light that made their way through the canopies. He didn't wait a single second and corrected his aim slightly to the left before pulling the trigger.
Bang!
The drone was torn to pieces and many parts fell about twenty-five meters away from them, at a distance that any explosives wouldn't hurt himself or Elysira.
When his eyes found her behind him, there was yellow and purple on her skin as she asked, "What if it was friendly?"
"The owner can send the bill up the chain for all I care." Ryo lowered the gun and did a full scan all around once more, only to find nothing again.
Her tail wrapped around his arm as all purple on her body disappeared, leaving only a hint of yellow. "Amara won't be happy if it was hers."
Just as Elysira spoke, a circular door opened on Nathan's tent, and Amara took a step outside with red filling her body.
Ryo pictured a scene of a princess complaining about her lost drone, but things only got more complicated instead.
Nathan emerged after her, and the pair began to argue loudly about what to do now that a war had broken out; Amara wanted to march uphill to join her guards, but Nathan held her by the tail when she was about to leave and prevented her for moving, saying it would be too dangerous.
Their argument turned into a messy mixture of the present situation with Amara sulking about a wasted night, which led Ryo to exchange a look of surprise with Elysira.
But their surprise only lasted a moment and Ryo decided he couldn't let those fools keep wasting valuable time.
Clap.
Clap.
Clap.
He had their attention now. "Please don't tell me you're mad because the plant lover couldn't get it up."
Under normal circumstances, Ryo had no doubt his assholish behavior would only instill shame and improve their cooperation.
However, he forgot to account that he was not wearing a shirt, leaving all his scratches exposed while Elysira was disheveled by his side, which caused Nathan's jaws to drop followed by Amara throwing an indignant gaze at Elysira and then at Nathan, who gave Ryo the feeling he might snap at any time.
"Why are you here?" Nathan's calm voice didn't match his clenched fist and rigid posture.
"Information. I want her to tell me what she knows about this war." Ryo had learned about the war by overhearing their previous argument.
Surprisingly, Amara was cooperative. "My brother's army found our position. They were not aware I was here with Nathan and ambushed the rest of my people and Zara; you destroyed their drone but if they saw us they might have a good reason to come here."
"Fuck!" He turned to Elysira and ordered. "Go back and gather my things. Take the essentials first, we are leaving."
Elysira used her tail to squeeze his arm in acknowledgment and rushed back. But when she had barely taken a few steps, she stopped as her ears moved. "More drones are coming!"
After alerting him, she ran to accomplish her task, leaving Ryo in the company of just Nathan and Amara.
"Isn't that great?" He grumbled to himself, but his voice carried loudly, obtaining the pair's attention as he raised his revolver again.
Knowing that the enemy was probably aware of their position, Ryo used infrared view mode to ensure they weren't using the drones as a distraction to pull off an ambush.
And that didn't seem to be the case when the first machine appeared, flying downwards in zigzag from the concentration of trees uphill.
Again Ryo used a partial activation of combat mode and aimed at the drone, yet this time more of them appeared, leaving the cover of the woods in groups of three until there were nine of them in total. But they didn't even try to get close this time, choosing to hover next to the canopies more than two hundred meters away from him, and assuming something akin to a structured formation.
This was extremely weird and enough of a reason for him to retreat a little, getting closer to his tent and taking cover behind a tree.
Nathan and Amara moved too, the botanist getting inside and returning with his gun while Amara's colors blended with his tent becoming hard to spot.
Assessing the new situation in an instant, Ryo concluded it would be better not to engage and retreat considering that those drones would be hard to take down at such distance. But things changed again quickly when the AI triggered a pop-up window, showing that several of the cameras he had set up in strategic places were capturing movement.
And what he was seeing now were several armed groups of Irisians heading towards their position, confirming Amara's supposition that the rebels were coming for them.
With the situation getting grimmer with every passing moment, Ryo thought of a possibility for what the drones might be doing, but his mind was still refusing to believe that the rebels could be as organized as his worst-case scenarios were giving them credit for.
To test this, he immediately tried to contact the space station through radio transmission, and since being found by the enemy was no longer an issue, he set the transmitter to maximum potency to validate his test.
Unable to establish a two-way connection.
He frowned even though that was not totally unexpected.
With only a few minutes at best before this place was filled with enemies, they would have to leave fast or they would be at the mercy of the enemy.
But first, there was something he wanted to say to Nathan, who now was using his tent for cover together with Amara. "Listen up, those fuckers are jamming our comms and they will be here at any time. Take the MLBCS and find a clearing to use it, I doubt they can interfere with the laser. Just don't forget that your immediate safety comes first or else you might not be among the living when the pod arrives."
Ryo and Nathan were technically enemies, but the last casualty in the war between Earth and Mars had happened several years in the past, ensuring that he had no reason to wish any harm for the botanist even though he didn't like him.
As for Amara, it was a little different. He hurried back to his tent without saying anything to her. And he did that not because he wished her harm, but simply because he didn't understand what she had at her disposal to offer any useful advice.
"Wait, what are you gonna do?" Nathan shouted from a distance.
With the adrenalin of seeing how many Irisians were coming helping his sincerity, he shouted back. "I'm not leaving the planet unless mission control finds a way to save Ely too."
After that, Nathan and Amara disappeared from his mind as he took cover behind his tent, slamming his hand against the foldable fabric many times to get Elysira's attention. "Hurry up, we can't stay here any longer."
She left immediately after, struggling to maintain balance as she used a hand plus her tail to carry his backpack, while her gun threatened to tumble from her gasp in her other hand.
And besides, one thing that Ryo’s eyes were immediately drawn towards was the clothes she was wearing—his clothes. While her legs were still exposed, his jacket still covered a bit more than her hips, loosely engulfing her slender frame like a billowing sail.
"I put the food and water in your backpack." She let go of the heavy item right over his feet as she put the gun on the ground and lifted her arms for him to recover his jacket and t-shirt. "You can get dressed while the tent folds."
He might have allowed her to keep the jacket if not for it being an inconvenience to her, so he just took it, making the first time he saw her wearing clothes a very short experience.
"No time for that, it won't fold with all the paper you left on the ground." He said as he swiftly slipped his arms into the sleeves of the jacket and zipped it up in one smooth movement.
Ryo was already considering which path they would take to flee when he noticed something terrible—Elysira’s skin had just been filled with gray as tiny black spots began to appear and disappear as if rain on the sand of a desert.
"What's it now?" He asked, trying to hide how unprepared he was to deal with this.
"Nothing has changed." Elysira averted her eyes. "I'm a burden to you just as I was to Amara. If I had-"
"Oh, shut up and quit the self-pity!" Ryo realized he was being too harsh, but still went on to finish it. "The paper is our mistake and I'm staying because I like you. This simple. Now get your gun and use your goddam camouflage, just like that princess is doing."
Ryo felt awful after saying this, and Elysira seemed quite taken about as she stared at him with wide eyes.
A moment later, however, she bent over and took the gun from the ground, her exterior blending quite well with the surroundings.
Ryo felt bad for her, but now there was no time to talk. "We run now, let's go."
The sound of his own steps was all he heard as they were putting some distance from the tent, making it so that he had to check on Elysira every couple of steps he took to ensure she was following him.
It was only when he heard some gunshots from far behind that he felt her claws tugging at his jacket from behind. "I hope Nathan is like you."

Living in a small southern town, you get used to the way things are. I grew up as a military brat, so my childhood memories are a blur of packing, unpacking, and getting settled. It had been seven years since we arrived, and nothing but the grace of God would make me move again. A few years ago, my father got orders to station at a base in the middle of the Mohave. I was only seventeen then, but after a few dozen screaming matches, I decided to strike out on my own a little early. I got a part-time job at the cafe, which was enough to rent a little run-down shack a couple of blocks from downtown. As far as I was concerned, I was living the dream—serving coffee a few hours a week and spending the rest of my time hanging out with friends, listening to music, and drinking.
That particular morning started the same as any other. I woke up around noon with a text from Mark to meet me at the cafe. Took me about two hours to get up and head over. The sun had just begun its descent as I pushed the door to the cafe open, the bell above tinkling softly. The sound bothered me a little bit, but I couldn’t tell why. It seemed to ring a little louder than I was expecting, and gave me this strange drilling sensation inside my head.
I ignored the feeling as the smell of slightly stale coffee and pastries washed over me. I saw Mark and Jamie already sat at our usual spot. Mark looked up as I approached, a grin spreading across his face. "Hey, Alex. Sarah should be here soon."
“So what's on the docket today?” I asked as I sat down, stealing a bear claw off Jamie's plate and taking a large bite before he had the chance to protest.
Mark’s excitement was almost palpable. He was always the one with the big ideas and crazy schemes, which I honestly appreciated. They got us into trouble more often than not, but it beat day drinking in the Walmart parking lot like everyone else our age.
"Alright, check this out," Mark said, his eyes gleaming with excitement. "I was talking to my cousin who works for the county. He told me about this old, abandoned food processing factory just outside of town. They used to can peaches there."
I gave him a skeptical look. "That’s your idea? Old, canned peaches?"
"No, idiot," he scoffed. "They left behind a ton of nitrates and phosphates. I’ve been doing some reading, and we can use them to make fireworks. I was up all night figuring it out and putting these together." He subtly opened his backpack to reveal at least a dozen PVC pipes fitted on both ends.
"Now that's what I’m talking about," I said, grinning.
Sarah walked in, catching the tail end of our conversation. "Sorry I’m late, I had a breakout and had to stop by the pharmacy. Upped my allergy meds. I fucking hate pollen," she said as I scooted over to make room for her on the bench.
"Is there anything you aren't allergic to?" I laughed.
She rolled her eyes, ignoring my question. "So, what's the plan for today?"
Mark, Jamie and I exchanged cheeky glances. "Well," I started, "let’s just hope you’re not allergic to peaches."
We finally managed to pry the side door of the factory off, which broke free from the hinges and smashed against the floor. Stepping inside, the air was thick and rancid as we bounced the beams of our flashlights around the packaging floor.
"We should split up," Mark suggested. "Alex, you and Sarah check out the storage rooms for the chemicals. Jamie and I will find the control room and see if we can get the power back on."
All of us nodded as we went our separate ways. Sarah and I wandered down the dark hallways, kicking open doors and looking for anything that looked vaguely like chemicals. The corridors were dark and damp, with black mold snaking along the walls like veins.
The first few rooms we checked were empty, filled only with dust and the remnants of long-abandoned equipment. Each door creaked as we pushed it open, revealing more decay and desolation.
As we moved further down the hallway, the mold seemed to become more aggressive, spreading in thick, dark patches along the walls and floors. The air grew heavier, making it harder to breathe. We kicked open another door, our flashlights revealing more of the same—nothing useful.
"This place is a bust," Sarah muttered,
"Let's keep looking," I replied, though I was starting to feel the same way. "There has to be something."
We continued down the corridor, our footsteps echoing in the silence. As we approached the end of the hall, something caught my eye. One door stood out, covered in black, creeping mold that seemed to pulse and writhe. Tendrils of fungus snaked out from the edges, reaching out into the hallway.
"Sarah, look at this," I said.
She turned to see what I was pointing at and her eyes widened. "That’s... different."
We approached the door cautiously as the tendrils moved and swayed.
With a deep breath, we each grabbed one side of the door and pulled. It resisted for a moment before giving way, the mold snapping and tearing as we forced it open. The smell that hit us was overpowering, a mix of rot and decay that made my eyes water.
Inside, our flashlights revealed a horrifying sight. At the back of the room sat several pallets with dozens of boxes of peaches each. But it was what grew from these boxes that will haunt my nightmares till my dying day.
The entire back wall was consumed by a towering fungal mass. Thick, fleshy stalks jutted out from the base, climbing nearly to the ceiling. The surface of the fungus glistened with a slimy, wet sheen, appearing almost like rotting flesh under our flashlight beams. Each stalk was covered in a mottled, sickly green and yellow hue, with patches of black mold that seemed to pulse in the dim light.
Interwoven within this horrific sight were bulbous growths, each one throbbing rhythmically, as if with a heartbeat of its own. They resembled obscene, overgrown tumors, ready to burst at the slightest touch. Long, sinewy tendrils extended from the main mass, creeping over the boxes and along the floor like the fingers of some malevolent creature, seeking out any life to ensnare.
The tendrils near the door twitched, slowly inching their way toward us as if aware of our presence. The air was thick with spores, glimmering in the light like tiny stars, each one a potential harbinger of decay and death.
"Oh my god," Sarah whispered, her voice barely audible over the sound of our own breathing. "What is that thing?"
We stood there, frozen in shock and disgust, before I slammed the door shut.
"Let's get the hell out of here," I said.
We hurried back down the corridor, our footsteps echoing in the oppressive silence. The lights in the facility flickered on, casting a blinding white light. I heard a bubbling, groaning noise emanate from behind the fungal door, sending a wave of nausea through my body.
We met back up with Mark and Jamie in the main area and quickly told them what we saw.
"Yo, that sounds sick," Jamie exclaimed. "We should blow it up. I found the chemicals in the control room and these bad boys are ready to go," he said, holding up a pipe bomb.
"Yeah," Mark agreed, his eyes alight with excitement. "We'd be doing the world a favor, getting rid of that thing."
Sarah shook her head, her face pale. "No way. I'm not doing this. That thing... It's not normal. We need to get out of here and call someone who knows what they're doing."
Jamie frowned. "Come on, Sarah. Don't be a buzzkill. This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to do something epic."
"Epic?" Sarah snapped. "That thing is dangerous. We don't know what we're dealing with. I'm not risking my life for some stupid joke."
Mark stepped in with a grin. "Alright, let's all calm down. If you’re scared you can just let the men handle it.”
Sarah crossed her arms. "Fine, but I'm staying here."
"Suit yourself," Jamie said, shrugging. "But we're not leaving without taking care of that thing."
"Alright, let's do this," Mark said, looking at Jamie and me. "We'll be quick. Sarah, stay here and keep an eye out.”
The hallway looked completely different in the fluorescent lighting. I could see now that each vein of fungus emanated from that single door, like a spiral portal threatening to suck us in.
"Let's make this quick," I whispered, glancing back at Jamie and Mark. "We light the bomb, throw it in, and get the hell out of here."
Jamie nodded, holding the pipe bomb tightly in his hand. "Ready when you are."
We reached the door, and the tendrils of fungus seemed even more aggressive, writhing and pulsing as if aware of our presence. The air was thick with spores.
"On three," I whispered, gripping the edge of the door. "One... two... three."
We yanked the door open, the mold snapping and tearing as it gave way. The smell of rot and decay hit us again, making my eyes water. The monstrous fungal mass loomed before us, its bulbous growths throbbing rhythmically.
Jamie lit the fuse and threw the bomb as hard as he could inside. It struck one of the orbs, which burst, shooting a fine white mist into the air.
"Run!" I shouted, slamming the door shut. We turned and sprinted down the hallway. The explosion sounded behind us, the shockwave lifting me off my feet and sending me tumbling to the ground.
Living in a small southern town, you get used to the way things are. My parents were in the army, so we moved a lot, but now I'm staying put. I woke up around noon and got a text from Mark to meet at the cafe. The smell of slightly stale coffee and pastries greeted me as I arrived. The bell's ring seemed off, giving me a small headache.
I ignored it and slid into the seat across from Mark and Jamie. “So what's on the docket today?” I asked, stealing a doughnut off Jamie's plate.
“Going to go to an old peach factory and get some chemicals. I need to make some fireworks,” Mark replied, subtly revealing some pipe bombs in his bag.
Sarah walked in towards the tail end of our conversation and silently stood next to our table.
The three of us glanced at each other, unsure of how to proceed. “Sarah,” I finally started. “Are you ok?”
“Y-yeah,” she replied. “Are YOU guys feeling ok?”
We exchanged uneasy glances. “Yeah, we’re fine,” I said. After a moment, she shook her head and sat down as we continued our plans.
That evening, we broke into the peach factory. We found this disgusting, gigantic fungal growth coming out of some boxes of peaches and we blew it up with some pipe bombs.
The next day I woke up around noon and got a text from Mark to meet at the cafe. The smell of slightly stale coffee and pastries greeted me as I arrived. The bell's ring seemed off, giving me a small migraine.
I ignored it and slid into the seat across from Mark and Jamie. “So what's on the docket today?” I asked, stealing a maroon off Jamie's plate.
“Going to go to an old peach factory and get some chemicals. I need to make some fireworks,” Mark replied, subtly revealing some pipe bombs in his bag.
Sarah walked in towards the tail end of our conversation and silently stood next to our table.
The three of us glanced at each other, unsure of how to proceed. “Sarah,” I finally started. “Are you ok?”
“Y-yeah,” she replied. “Not really. Are YOU guys feeling Ok?”
We exchanged uneasy glances. “Yeah, we’re fine,” I said. After a moment, she shook her head and sat down as we continued our plans.
That evening, we broke into the peach factory. We found this disgusting, gigantic fungal growth coming out of some boxes of peaches and we blew it up with some pipe bombs.
The next day I woke up around noon and got a text from Mark to meet at the cafe. The smell of slightly stale coffee and pastries greeted me as I arrived. The bell's ring seemed off, giving me a piercing migraine.
I ignored it and slid into the seat across from Mark and Jamie. “So what's on the docket today?” I asked, stealing a bagel off Jamie's plate.
“Going to go to an old peach factory and get some chemicals. I need to make some fireworks,” Mark replied, subtly revealing some pipe bombs in his bag.
Sarah walked in towards the tail end of our conversation and silently stood next to our table.
The three of us glanced at each other, unsure of how to proceed. “Sarah,” I finally started. “Are you ok?”
“What's going on?” she asked, tears welling up in her eyes. “I’m scared.”
We exchanged uneasy glances. “It’s fine, Sarah. Just take a seat,” I said. After a moment, she shook her head and sat down as we continued our plans.
That evening, we broke into the peach factory. We found this disgusting, gigantic fungal growth coming out of some boxes of peaches and we blew it up with some pipe bombs.
The next day I woke up around noon and got a text from Mark to meet at the cafe. The smell of slightly stale coffee and pastries greeted me as I arrived. The bell's ring seemed off, giving me a splitting migraine.
As I slid into the seat across from Mark and Jamie, I noticed Sarah outside, fixated on a bird suspended in mid-flight. I went out to see her.
"Are you seeing this?" she asked, her voice tinged with astonishment.
"Yeah," I replied nonchalantly. "That happens all the time. Are you sure you're feeling okay?"
"What the hell do you mean, 'Am I feeling okay?'!" she screamed. "That bird is frozen mid-air, and you don't think anything weird is going on?"
Her yelling took me aback. I didn't understand her alarm, so I shrugged it off and joined Mark inside. As we began planning our nightly excursion to the peach factory, Sarah burst through the door, screaming, then vanished in a puff of smoke.
"That's odd," I mused, my brow furrowed in confusion before we shrugged it off and resumed our scheming.
The day after, I met Mark again at the cafe. This rhythm had become our existence: meetings by day, adventures by night at the old peach plant. That evening followed the familiar pattern; we reveled in the thrill of hurling pipe bombs into that small enclosed room.
This routine had completely engulfed our lives. Day after day at the cafe, night after night at the factory—it seemed as though this cycle was all we had ever known. Reflecting on it, I couldn't remember any other way of life.
However, one thing increasingly disturbed me—the ringing of the doorbell at the cafe's entrance. Each time I entered, the sound seemed sharper, more grating. Focusing on it brought a searing pain to my head, like a needle drilling through my skull. Yet, despite the agony, I found myself obsessing over it, the sound gnawing at the edges of my sanity.
One day, driven to the brink by this incessant ringing, I decided to confront it head-on. I stood by the door, letting the bell chime repeatedly. Each ring sliced through my mind, but I persisted, sweat beading on my forehead, teeth clenched in torment.
As the pain crescendoed, reality shattered. I woke to the blaring of a fire alarm, not the quaint doorbell I had imagined. The cafe was engulfed in chaos. The hallway was consumed by a sprawling fungal mass, its tendrils creeping along the walls.
In the dim, flickering light, I saw Jamie, or what was left of him. Half of his skull was missing, the fungus attached grotesquely to his exposed brain, pulsating with each eerie beat of his fading heart. Mark was there too, seemingly unharmed physically, but trapped in a delusion, his eyes glazed over, a smile playing on his lips as the fungus encased him.
Sarah lay collapsed by the fire alarm, her hand still on the lever. She had managed to pull it before succumbing to the spores that now clung to her body.
The tendrils that had enveloped me snapped violently, each break releasing a sickening crack that echoed through the eerie silence of the hallway. An outline of my body remained imprinted in the fungal mass, a mold from which I had desperately broken free.
Gritting my teeth against the pain and horror, I scrambled to Mark and Sarah. Mark was less entangled, lost in his fungal-induced stupor. I grabbed him under the arms, his body limp but alive, and dragged him across the floor. The fungus resisted, stretching like sinew before tearing away from him with wet, ripping sounds.
Sarah was heavier, her body weakened but still fighting. I clasped her wrists, pulling with all my strength. The fungus clung to her, tendrils winding up her arms like ivy. With a final, determined yank, the last of the tendrils snapped, freeing her. We left behind fragments of the monstrous growth clinging to her clothes.
Together, we staggered out into the night air, away from the suffocating enclosure. The cool air hit our faces, harsh yet cleansing. Behind us, the fire alarm continued to blare into the night. I fumbled with my phone, hands shaking, to dial the emergency number. The call went through, and within minutes, the sound of sirens cut through the stillness of the night, growing louder as help approached.
The next few days were a blur. I remember fading in and out of consciousness as nurses pumped antifungals directly into my IV, their faces blurring into the sterile environment. Once we were somewhat cognizant, the police wanted answers. One by one, we were interviewed, but we gave them nothing. I still don’t know what the exact penalty is for manufacturing explosives and using them to destroy a building, but I’m guessing it’s not community service. Jamie was still missing, and they hadn’t found any sign of him or his body. I tried to hide my tears as I knew he was already long gone.
After a few weeks, I was finally cleared for visitors and got to see Sarah again. She told me that after the explosion, she ran but couldn’t leave us behind. She came back, only to see us being consumed by the fungus. Try as she might, she wasn’t able to free us as she felt the oppressive spores take her under. She fought back and managed to pull the fire alarm before succumbing again. The doctors told her that her allergy medication gave her some resistance to the fungus; otherwise, she might have been a goner.
Mark was never the same. We never talked about what happened, and after trying once and him flipping out, I figured it was best to let sleeping dogs lie. That summer, he moved to upstate New York to work in his dad’s business. I haven’t seen him since. That fall, Sarah started college at Savannah State. I still call her every now and again, but it’s not like it used to be.
Despite all that happened, I’m not moving again. I’m happy here, and if it’s up to me, I’ll die in this little town. I still work at the cafe, as a manager now. On weekends, I come in and just sit at the booth we all used to share.
I still think about Jamie from time to time. I wonder if he's dead or still stuck in his delusion, picturing the four of us sitting at our table, talking, laughing, and passing the time. Sometimes, when the cafe is empty and the light is just right, I can almost see him there, his smile frozen in that moment before everything went wrong.
The cafe grows quieter each day, the hum of life fading into an eerie stillness. My skin feels different, as if the air itself whispers secrets I can't quite grasp. The itching that started as a minor annoyance has intensified, becoming a constant torment. I scratch at lesions that have begun to form on my arms and chest, red and raw, with patches of green spreading beneath the surface. I’ve started to wear long sleeves to cover my arms and a mask to hide my purpling lips.
Some nights, when closing, as I sit alone in the dim light of the cafe, the itching becomes unbearable. I claw at the lesions, feeling a dampness beneath my skin. Sometimes, when I cough, I could swear I see tiny spores hanging in the air, reminiscent of the bursting nodules growing on the stalks of the monster.
Occasionally, I hear the bell ring and the door open, but no one is there. I look outside into the empty night and see nothing. This went on for weeks, becoming more frequent. But one night, the door opened, and I saw Jamie standing there, the picture of health. I went to embrace him and noticed my lesions were gone too. It was almost as if we had never gone to the peach factory. It was suddenly morning, and the light shone through the cafe. For the first time in forever, we were happy. We talked about nothing, passing the time.
After what felt like hours, he told me it was time to go. But his mouth wasn’t moving—I felt like I could read his thoughts, and he could read mine. We stood up as I took one last look at the cafe and headed off with him, back to the peach factory.
As we walked, a strange calmness settled over me. I remember feeling that I wanted to ask if he had talked to Mark or Sarah, and wondered how they were doing. But deep down, somehow, I could feel their presence and I knew they were doing just fine. The sun was bright, the air crisp. The itching had vanished completely, replaced by an inexplicable craving for the sweetness of ripe peaches. Jamie and I shared a silent understanding, a bond deeper than any words could convey.
The factory loomed ahead, its doors wide open as if inviting us in. The familiar scent of peaches and something else—something earthy and ancient—filled the air. We stepped inside, side by side, feeling at home for the first time in ages.
The last thing I remember before the darkness took over was the feeling of the soft, warm peach flesh in my hand, and Jamie’s voice in my head saying, "Welcome home."

So, I have ADHD and sensory issues. However, I'm pretty low-needs and can manage my own stuff as long as no one interferes. I have sensitive hearing and thats my main 'trigger' so to speak. Noise stimulation is my main thing but I always have precautions. I have this incredible pair of headphones which is one of my prize possessions, its blue and white, and I've had it since I was I think 12ish. They block out everything, no joke. And they're smooth and well shaped and 'fashionable' looking so I can wear them around my neck without looking like a weirdo.
My girlfriend has a weird aversion to all of my little 'quirks' as she calls them, all the barely noticeable things I do to deal with my issues (i don't take meds) But she particularly hates those headphones. Last night, she came into our room while I was using them to fall asleep and I opened my eyes to someone waving their hand in front of my face, since I couldn't hear her. She was even more grumpy than usual about the headphones but I thought she'd gotten over it after I set them aside on my bedside table and we'd talked to sleep.
This morning I woke up to them gone, I searched the whole house for them, despite being sure of where I left them, and then asked her if she'd seen them. She told me no, but there was something about her voice that made me suspicious. I waited till she went to the shower and went over her side to see if she'd taken them.
Lo and behold, in the first drawer there they were. I was furious, and waited till she came out to confront her, but the second she saw the headphones she started yelling at me about how I could violate her privacy like that and what a terrible boyfriend I was. I don't quite know how it happened, but I ended up apologising and then making her a coffee to make up for it.
She's gone to class now and I'm confused again. Surely this was her fault? Or am I being dumb? AmItheAsshole?
?

So I have NO idea if that's what happened but I also have migraines and dysautonomia so it could be related to those.
Today I had a patient come in with really strong cologne, I was suffering because strong scents can make me feel cruddy.
It started with a scratch in my throat and my nose felt kind of stuffy and then I couldn't stop coughing, I ended up coughing so hard I almost got sick and saw stars. I was dizzy and shaky and my heart rate was up 126 (usually 78) I was also really warm and my face neck and chest were blotchy red.
After he left I propped open the door to let in fresh air and chugged a pedialyte (cold water and electrolytes) and sat. It took a bit but I started to feel better, my hr went down to 84, I was less woozy feeling and hot, my face was still kind of warm and pink but not as bad.
I've never had a reaction like this so I have no idea 😅 I take allegra every day for trees and plants and flowers because my body hates them. Usually scents just give me a headache and make me nauseous, so not sure if anyone else has had something like this happen?

Hi, so glad I found this sub I literally searched everywhere and never found something that close.
I've had a lot of visual symptoms and no answers it's been now 7 years (im 21) that i've started to see bright dots apearing in one eye or the other but never both at the same time it comes randomly and lasts for a few minutes never more than 1h. The last few months I started seeing like black shiny sparkling dots in my vision when looking at black surfaces or an absence of light wherever there is a dark surface, it's in the central vision and its especially frequent when I blink fast and look straight at the black surface. It's in the central vision and it's black silverish round or oval small dots that stay for a few miliseconds, I've searched on reddit and the internet and never saw someone that had it....
I've done MRI's, EEG, bloodwork for thyroid ?, saw neurologist eye doctor and they say everything is fine... But it's begining to be unbearable. I also have a tinnitus that appeared and pulsatile tinnitus on the right ear, and my neck and right side of the face hurts a lot (especially if I drink alcohol the hangover is horrible which never happened before)
Does someone have a response or infos or something similar share it would really help.
I'm going to do another MRI and see a cardiologist because idk what else to test now...

December 2023, started getting brain fog, off and on, several days per week. I thought I might need a change in the supplements I usually take, so I ditched Quercetin, Astaxanthin, and Krill Oil, and just kept taking the usual vitamins. No improvement in brain fog.
In late February 2024, I started feeling weak in the legs, with oddly stiff knees, when getting out of bed in the morning. It was hard to walk and my feet hurt. The brain fog also increased, and I started getting horribly fatigued, sometimes all day long. During the day and in the evening, my hands/knuckles/fingers started throbbing, sometimes severely. No fever, no swollen glands. I went to my primary doctor on March 19, and she ordered blood tests and xrays. Xrays showed no joint damage, and my inflammatory markers were pretty good, but my Rheumatoid Factor test was positive. She referred me to a Rheumatologist.
In mid-April, Rheumatologist took history and ordered a gazillion blood tests and urine test. Inflammatory markers looked good, except for IgA, which was elevated to 435. RF was negative though, after being positive the month before. FANA test was also negative (positive, with speckled pattern, but an insignificant titer....so, negative). Meanwhile, symptoms persist...brain fog, headaches, fatigue, joint pain (including wrists, now), weak/stiff/wobbly legs in the morning for about 45 minutes (but they come back if I sit or lie down for too long). At a recent follow up appointment, my primary doc ordered a brain MRI (haven't had it yet) and told me she still thinks I'm dealing with RA, but the Seronegative version.
Has anyone else experienced the same things? How did your Seronegative RA get diagnosed?

tl;dr - The bike lanes are here to stay until at least 2026 when Council will receive a report on usage and issues (along with an interim report in 2025). The vote was 8-1 in favor of accepting that recommendation.
Hey everyone,
I've posted an update on the BikeBridge facebook group which I'd recommend joining if you're interested in cycling in Lethbridge, but I'll copy here for those not on Facebook. The council vote has just occurred and we are in the clear until the Summer of 2026 when this will be revisited! I want to thank everyone once again for coming out in person, writing letters, and of course, getting out on your bikes. If you want (way) more details - here are the notes I took, and I'll add my thoughts after:

• This was originally item 4.2.4 on the Agenda where it could be voted on without discussion - council pulled it from this section, asking for additional discussion.
• It became item 8.1.2 - Councilor Middleton-Hope opened with a question regarding the snow removal issues. Director of Infrastructure Services Sanchez said that even last winter they saw a dramatic decrease in calls for the last snowfall event as they adjusted their clearing policies, but adjustments will continue next winter and there will be 2 staff dedicated to the downtown to keep tabs on the situation
• Councilor Campbell expressed that there was a lively discussion which he would characterize as supportive, while some people expressed that they supported the idea, but had concerns around the design - he is supporting the motion because administration has heard those concerns and is continuing to act on them
• Councilor Dodic pushed back and said that a few dozen people over 2 meetings does not constitute overwhelming support, and the Lethbridge Herald poll (while also not reliable representation) had ~700 votes, with more than 75% opposing them
• He supports bike lanes like those along Scenic Drive that share space with pedestrians
• He doesn't believe there was meaningful consultation and said the cost for the 2 lanes was $2.9M, with only $1.2M covered by the federal government
• He said even with that money, besides 4th Avenue South these bike lanes don't go anywhere and so people will have to ride with traffic anyway and people will apparently only shop on 4th Ave and 7th Street because of the protected lanes
• Businesses expressed concern and social media came down on them, calling for boycotts (although some people pushed back on that, and he thanked them for doing so)
• He wants everyone to support businesses along the bike lanes so they don't suffer and is concerned for it
• He feels this vote is a done deal, but is symbolically voting against it
• The vote was called - it passed 8-1 (they didn't say, but I will assume Councilor Dodic was the vote against)

My thoughts here:

• I'm a bit confused by the bike lanes going nowhere comment - on 4th Ave these connect to the scenic drive multi-use path (which admittedly is just a sidewalk for a few blocks), and on 7th Street they connect with the bike boulevard - I certainly agree that connectivity city-wide is an issue (one that is solved with more bike paths, not fewer), but these paths connect about as well as any individual two paths could
• The comment about cyclists only shopping on 4th Ave and 7th St due to safety is strange as well - there is a big difference between a mostly safe route with a short ride (or even walking your bike a block or two) at the end, versus no protection at all
• While I've encountered a few individuals saying they wouldn't shop at a few local businesses, there's been nothing organized that I would consider a boycott - I can't read all social media all the time, but I have kept my ear to the ground on this issue, if that is happening someone please let me know
• I'll restate my position here - I don't support boycotting any businesses regardless of their position on the bike lanes, but I do think we should shop at them while being very vocal about liking the bike lanes - I think biking gets less attention because cyclists are in a good mood while motorists complain about parking, so business owners hear a lot more about parking

This was really long, my apologies. With any luck we've got a few years before we need to think about this again. So get out and enjoy downtown and enjoy biking in Lethbridge!
