In the modern age, fairytales and medieval myths are just considered cautionary tales of the last. But what if they were real?
Several years ago, humans began to form abnormal abilities and quirks. Scales forming on their bodies, people able to control fire and water, and some transforming into hideous creatures. Not everyone was affected, but those that were had been shunned by society. Hunted and killed by humans, these "inhumans" are considered to be extremely dangerous.
You are one of the few exceptions. Gaining your own unique abilities, you decided to use your talents to become something similar to a superhero. Stopping criminals, defeating other Inhumans, and fighting corrupted organizations, you became well known in your city. You're being hunted too, of course, but you wear that like a badge.
While things are not so bad, you soon discover that playing the hero has it's consequences, and balancing your personal and heroic life is a lot harder than you thought.
If you had this concept interesting, please DM me and we can discuss the main plot and other concepts in full! I'll be running this similar to how a GM runs a D&D game, to give you an idea of how this would work.

I am currently taking paypal for games, you always go first and cover fees
For game trades, you always go first and message me, usually it takes me about 1-2 days to get back to you at the latest
My Rep Page has not been updated in about 5 years, but I have a lot of trades finished
Bolded items are just the ones I would like to consider keeping so don't feel as though you need to offer more for the game

Hi everyone,
I'm reaching out because my family is in a tough spot right now. My dad recently lost his job, where he was the sole breadwinner. He worked in sales and management but doesn't have formal training or a college degree. After being fired, he applied for unemployment benefits, but the company fought it, citing poor work performance. He never received any warnings or formal complaints, and the small company lacks an HR department, allowing them to fabricate complaints. We can't afford to hire a lawyer to fight this.
My mom's income isn't enough to support our family, and I'm away on an internship, unable to contribute significantly because my internship pay check is just enough to cover my food and rent. My dad, in his 50s and not in the greatest health, is struggling to find another job in sales or management. Age discrimination seems to be a barrier, and this situation is taking a toll on all of us. We went through a similar ordeal before, which left us in credit card debt for nearly two years.
My parents don't have much in retirement savings, and they're struggling to pay the bills. Dropping to commission-based work isn't viable for my dad due to their financial commitments and lifestyle.
Does anyone have any advice or resources that could help my dad find a job or assist my family in staying afloat? Any suggestions for organizations, financial assistance, or job search strategies would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your support and advice.

HIII this is my first post, hi shifters ^.^
The song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pelNtKkogQk
The lyrics suggest lots of shifting and believing in yourself imo, I'd say even 75% of them can be related to it, like waking up in your DR (as per even the first lyrics), reaching your goals, surpassing your limits and never giving up.
My favorite lines are "Lock onto the dream you had that was swallowed up in the hard times" and "Rise to the challenge of fate and search for the dream beyond (Yes)"
You can read them for yourself below! This is my 2nd favorite song lol

Lyrics:

We’re gonna awakening for the brand new world (Yeah) We’re gonna take you to the brand new world (To the brand new world) We’re gonna awakening for the brand new world (Get your hands up, Baby) We’re gonna take you to the brand new world (Oh yeah) “The Grandeur”
Get it on, get it on, ready on three Through this immovable reality (Woo-hoo) No hesitating, time to get going - Hold on, hold on (Yeah)
Now is the time to fight for liberty Prevent the swallowing of honesty and the truth The answer that we seek is in the conflict, oh yeah!
The smallest dream is buried deep in the chaos, so hands up Shout it, shout it louder Let’s do it, do it, start it (Never give up) Piercing the limitations with this fierce spirit Wake up (Hey!), let’s go (Ho!), believe in myself!
Just give into your desires, pushing forward to the light Spread your wings and fly up higher, let them take you to the sky ‘Cause in this hand is a world so beyond all our dreams and hope (The Grandeur) You’ve got to build a path staying true to the life that you know (Yes) It’s a “Grandeur”
Hey, yeah Believe in myself Hey, yeah “The Grandeur”
Yeah, listen... Bang, bang, bang, come on let me hear it Firing up like a boiler heater No need to rise, just open your eyes So break down more
Sights on the target only one shot, two down Gripping on so tight onto the truth, so come and hold on Make it now, make it now, right now So wake up, wake up, new world
Lock onto the dream you had that was swallowed up in the hard times Find it, find it, soldier Yes, do it, do it, start it (Come on now) There are tears you’ve got to shed to cross the borderline Wake up (Hey!) let’s go (Ho!) believe in myself!
Light the fire up inside you while you keep your head up Leave a trail of dust behind you as you dive into the sky ‘Cause there’s shimmering future that lives in my heart (The Grandeur) Rise to the challenge of fate and search for the dream beyond (Yes) It’s a “Grandeur”
Hey, yeah Believe in yourself Hey, yeah “The Grandeur”
Look through the gaps of the clouds and see the light of our hope (light of our hope) Time to depart on a journey that never ends Gonna survive, I wanna catch my dream So, let’s get it started with you We can fly, unbreakable... I can show you my brightness Brighter than anybody else!
Light the fire up inside you while you keep your head up (Yeah-yeah!) Leave a trail of dust behind you as you dive into the sky (Oh-whoah, Yeah!) ‘Cause there’s shimmering future that lives in my heart (The Grandeur) Rise to the challenge of fate and search for the dream beyond (Yes) It’s a “Grandeur”
Hey, yeah Believe in yourself Hey, yeah (Yeah, yeah) “The Grandeur”

PS: Any other Black Clover shifters around here? I'm pretty new to this and I'd love to hear your experiences!

I was on Cymbalta as the first line of treatment for my nerve pain and depression, and that shit back fired so hard.
Before starting this medication I had absolutely no cardiovascular issues. I had very average blood pressure. I was active and on my feet a lot despite my chronic pain, but never once had I shown any signs beforehand of something being possibly wrong with my heart.
I was on 30mg for 3 weeks, and I didn’t feel awful, but something just wasn’t correct feeling. I was getting dizzy and my heart rate was more insane than I remembered it being. Once I was upped to 60mg thats where shit went really wrong.
I would full on pass out from just standing, I was sweating buckets, my heart felt like it was constantly trying to implode on itself and no matter what I was doing, I felt like absolute shit. I was convinced lowkey I was dying because my blood pressure and heart rate would do weird shit. My heart rate was rocketing up to the 130+ and my blood pressure was plummeting. I lowered my dose back to 30 hoping maybe it’d go away. It never did. I was off that med by week 6 and I have never felt normal since then.
It’s been two years since then, I was freshly 17 when I started Cymbalta and I am now 19. I am still feeling its lasting effects. Doing anything nowadays feels like i’m gonna drop dead at any moment, and it’s just kinda getting worse. I was told that I would return back to normal after a few weeks of stopping the med, and i’m so devastated that I never returned back to normal.
It’s gotten so bad nowadays that even walking my bus stop 4 minutes away makes my chest feel a bit tight and gets me lightheaded. Walking up my apartment stairs makes me feel like i’m gonna actually die, I end up leaning over my kitchen sink trying to just breathe and get the severe chest and upper back to calm down. I have nearly passed out several times in my kitchen because I climbed 16 steps.
I’m finally just seeing an actual cardiologist after finally snapping from this hell. I had previously expressed to my PCP that I had some sort of issue with my heart after this medication, but it wasn’t a major concern as I am juggling so many different things. Then I was borderline coding in a walmart just trying to get groceries and accepted that I couldn’t just ignore this issue anymore as I really didn’t want to actually drop dead before figuring out what went wrong.
I’m unsure if without this medication i’d have these issues, maybe I had them minor before and the medication turned them up to extreme. Who knows! Hopefully my cardiologist (who is luckily the best one outside of my state biggest city).
So, anyone else stuck in heart issue hell because of this med? Or am I just honest to god a medical ticking time bomb?

The stress of the last six months has nearly killed me. Besides the general cratering of the outside world—political strife, climate change, inflated rents, corporate greed, and the baffling resurgence of crew socks—my internal life was falling apart, too. I'm at the point where I can't see a way out of the darkness, and that feeling has only grown in the last few days.
My struggles ramped up exponentially in the last two weeks. It started when my long-term girlfriend and I called it quits after five years. There was no definitive relationship-altering fight or infidelity. It was simply the boring banality of the "roommate-ification" of our lives together. We both felt the shift but never talked about it. Turns out communication is important.
Truthfully, we'd stayed together for so long because we couldn't afford to live apart. Our rent had nearly doubled the last time we re-upped our lease but even that was a bargain compared to what was out there currently. We were trapped by our need to have a roof over our heads.
My job had stagnated, and I couldn't find anything better. I was stuck. Like me, she'd been job hunting as well. Unlike me, she had a master's, and her prospects should've been higher. They weren't. For five months, she applied to hundreds of jobs and couldn't break through. If she got a rejection email, it was a win. Most of the time, the companies never responded.
Finally, she found a great opportunity at a Fortune 500 company. It was an involved process. She nailed the five interviews, and her "test project" was well received. She was offered the position, and it came with a massive pay increase—double her current salary. I was proud of her—she needed a win. We celebrated with pizza and beer that night.
Two days later, she dropped the bomb that she was breaking things off. The relationship ending wasn't a surprise. The timing was. The discussion was brief, and there was zero chance of reconciliation. She declined when I asked if she could stay until the lease ended. Mentally, it would've been too much for her. Two days after that, she moved out, taking half the rent with her. I was stuck in a lease I couldn't afford on my salary for the next six months.
My free time evaporated as I took on two extra gigs to help make ends meet. In addition to my office nine to five, I drove for a delivery app on the weekends and took a part-time night job stocking shelves at a local grocery store. When I wasn't hustling for housing, I slept or ate. I did nothing beyond that. Nothing brings me joy. There is no spark.
This drudgery has become my daily routine, and it's killing me.
To help cover some cost gaps, I've started selling off some of my stuff online. It was just me here, and I decided that the Spartan lifestyle would have to work for now. Anything I could fetch a decent amount for went up for sale. My apartment is so empty now every noise causes an echo.
Before my shift at the grocery store, I agreed to meet someone who wanted to take a look at my kitchen table. It was a lovely table – my ex had obsessed over it – but I didn't see a need at the moment. Now that I was a bachelor, my TV trays became my default kitchen tables anyway. I wasn't planning on any dinner parties in the future anyway.
A couple showed up later than they said they would. It was a bored-looking guy and a fastidious young woman. She made friendly small talk as she looked over the table. Her boyfriend (I think) stayed quiet and played bodyguard. I gave him a friendly nod at one point, and he just looked away. She said they'd take it without trying to talk me down. I took the small win.
She asked if I could help carry it down to their truck. I was running late, but feeling helpful, even for a fleeting few seconds, was worth it. Her silent boyfriend and I hauled the table through the hallway and even managed to avoid hitting the walls the entire way down.
I placed it in their truck, got my money, and turned to leave. The girl said thanks, and the boyfriend finally returned the nod. I gave a weird half-wave to them both and started to walk away when I heard the passenger window being rolled down.
"Hey man," the boyfriend said, his voice higher pitched than I thought it would. "What was up with your brother giving us the evil eye in the lobby when we got here?"
I turned around, "Huh? I don't have a brother."
"A cousin then?"
"My family lives about a thousand miles away. What happened in the lobby?"
"A dude that looked just like you was hiding in a dark hallway in the lobby and staring at my girl's ass."
"Jacob, really," she said.
"I'm sorry that happened, but I had nothing to do with it. We do have the occasional homeless guy meander in. Maybe you saw one of them," I said. "Did he say or do anything bad?"
"Jacob, I asked you to not say something," the girl said, burying her head in her hands.
Jacob's frosty attitude to me made sense now. "He said something about running up that ass. I dunno, he was mumbling. I told him I'd beat his ass if he didn't stop staring. Seemed to shut him up."
"Oh. Well, congrats," I said. "I'll tell the manager. Thanks for letting me know."
"You should do a better job keeping jokers like that out of the building."
"Jacob, he's not a security guard."
"He should still be a man and protect his home."
"Have a good night," I said, ending the conversation and heading back up to my apartment. I had about five minutes to change and head out before I'd be late. Last thing my ego needed was to be fired from my backup job.
Thankfully, I was able to slip into work and not get spotted by my boss. That was the last of the good news, though. We had a massive weekly order come in, which meant I'd be there late, plus someone had called out. Worse, our hand truck had a flat tire, and I spent the next few hours torturing my muscles, schlepping heavy boxes around the store. I soldiered on, counting down the minutes until I left and fantasizing about going to bed for the night.
If wishing for sleep wasn't a sad statement to my mental well-being, nothing was.
I came home after my shift at the grocery store and plopped down on the couch. I had contemplated selling it, but it was an older Ikea number, and I didn't think the value would replace my desire to sit. I could feel my body sink into the cushions, and the day's tension seep out. I was beat and tired to the point that turning on the TV was a chore.
I picked up my phone and thought I'd doomscroll until sleep overtook me. I didn't expect it to be a long scroll, as even the methadone that is my phone has failed me lately. As I lowered myself from a slumped position to a supine one, I heard footsteps outside my apartment door. This was not unusual, but the noise I heard sounded like kid footsteps. That was unusual, as nobody on our floor had kids, and it was almost midnight.
Despite my body screaming at me to not move, my brain suggested I check it out. I rolled myself off the couch and eventually stood up. I listened again and heard the kid running down the hallway. I walked over to my door and looked out the peephole. I didn't see anyone.
"Maybe I'm dreaming," I said to myself. "Maybe I'm not staring out a peephole, expecting to see a kid running down the hall at midnight, but instead, I'm cuddled up in my bed, snoozing." I pinched my arm and felt the pain. I was definitely in the waking world.
I turned to head back to the couch when I heard the running again, this time louder. I opened my door and peeked out into the hallway. Nobody was there. The door from the apartment across me opened up, too. Gloria, a young at heart grandma who was friendly/constantly buzzed in a wine mom kind of way, gave me a once over.
"You heard that, too?" she asked.
"Kids?"
"No rugrats around. I assumed it was some drunk assholes stumbling home from the bar."
I laughed. Gloria was, as always, blunt. "I didn't see any assholes," I said.
"Then you're not watching the right kind of internet videos," she said with a wink and a hoarse cackle.
I blushed. How do you respond to that? I just kind of nodded in agreement and shrugged.
"Gotta get your jollies while you can," she said before adding, "You need some rest, dear. You look like hammered shit." She shut her door and went back inside.
She was right. I felt like hammered shit. Since I wasn't going to solve the case of the mysterious runner and was sure it wasn't some lost kid, I decided to call it a night. I went back inside, shut down the apartment, and crawled into bed.
I thought about watching one of the "right kind of internet videos" but fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.

"Your problem is you think the world owes you something."
John, my elderly coworker at the grocery store, was standing by while I unloaded a pallet of cereal. I liked John, and when I first started, we instantly clicked. He's quick with a joke and fun to talk to. He's also about thirty years older than me and speaks with the Boomer combination of accumulated wisdom, backhanded compliments, and fringe conspiracy nonsense. Still, regardless of how couched the kindness is in gobbledygook, he's usually coming from a good place.
"What?" I said, putting a box of Captain Crunch on the shelf.
"You're complaining about your situation, right? Saying it ain't fair. The world took a paddle to your hind quarters? Hey brother, that's the way the cookie crumbles. Gotta just pick yourself up and start over. You're smart enough – figured this job out right quick – you can do it."
The job was wheeling pallets around the store and stocking shelves. It wasn't much to figure out, but I understood his meaning. The other stuff wasn't necessary, though. "I'm just in a funk. I don't see a way forward."
"Hey, so you've bottomed out. No shame in that. Happens to us all. Silver lining, you can only go up," he said before adding, "Unless some other bad shit happens to you like your car dies or your apartment building burns down. But after that, it's only up."
"The apartment building burning down would be a blessing," I said, hoisting another little Captain on the shelf. "The rent is killing me."
"Have you tried negotiating a lower rent? They used to do that when I was your age."
"I think they'd evict me if I even asked."
"Hell, then you'd have at least thirty days, maybe forty, before they'd kick you out. Plenty of time to turn things around."
"Uh-huh," I said, "Any chance you could give me a hand here?"
"My back is screaming like a pretty young thing after prom," he said, holding his back for emphasis.
I didn't push. "Hey, I meant to tell you about some weird shit that happened the other night."
"Lay it on me. I love the strange."
"So, after my shift the other day, I got home around midnight and was flopped on the couch. I heard someone running down the hallway outside my apartment. I wasn't the only one. A few other neighbors heard it, too. When we checked, though, nobody was there."
"That ain't strange," John said, waving his hand, "that's a man who's plowing another man's wife running for his life."
I laughed. "That's not the weird part. So, for the next two nights, it's the same thing. Around midnight, someone runs down the hallway. Only this time, they're trying the door handles as they pass. So, I asked the front desk to check the security cameras, and they do."
"They see a man running away holding his clothes?"
"There wasn't anyone running down the hall," I said, "But the weird thing was, you could see the door handles turning on the video."
"Damn, that's a good one," John said, "You sure it wasn't just a camera glitch. These new ones from overseas aren't as reliable as they want you to think. Chinese probably using them to spy on you, too."
He continued as my brain tried to reconcile John's two opposing comments. "Weird shit happens at night, man. Before working here, I only worked the day shift. Even when they offered me more money to work nights, I turned it down. Even when they promised me a promotion, I turned them down."
In a previous life, John had worked as a paramedic. He came by it after serving in a medical unit in the army. He'd told me he loved the rush of the job, but after a while, the death and hurt in people's eyes got to be too much to handle. But he worked there for almost twenty years. So, the man had a tolerance for shenanigans and odd occurrences.
"Why'd you agree to work nights here?"
"Shit, we're home before the witching hour. This is like late afternoons, at best. But if it was overnights, hell no. Captain Crunch can anchor his own ship to the shelves. I'd take my ass to 7-11 for a day shift before agreeing to work an overnight."
"Something happen to you during the army?”
“I got the clap,” he offered.
I sighed. “What turned you off nights?"
"Oh. I heard enough stories from coworkers to know I didn't want to experience any of that hoo-doo shit," he said, "trying to save someone's life is hard enough without adding in demon kids and ghosts."
"Did your coworkers see demon kids?" I asked, moving on from the good Captain to the Trix rabbit.
He nodded, "They saw too much. I find it odd, even with all the surveillance we have now and all the science we know about these days, that the night still scares us. You ever know someone who worked a night shift?"
I had. My ex. During college, she worked the overnight desk at a hotel for a while. She quit because the job gave her bad vibes. I told John as much.
He pointed and laughed, "See! Don't you find it odd that every person who works at night always has a story of something eerie happening to them? Every person, buster. That's what they call an irrefutable fact."
"Maybe the ghost running down the hallway is an old employee still doing his rounds."
"In that case, keep that door double locked. I'd even wedge a towel under the door just in case."
"Maybe they're friendly? Casper-like in that way."
"You ever heard someone tell you about a friendly ghost outside the funny papers?"
"I'm sure it happens," I said, "The scary ghosts are more popular though."
“We think we know everything there is to know but we are just babes in the woods when it comes to night things.” John shook his head. "Imma tell you one or three things that happened to a guy I worked with back when I first got hired on to chase after corpses in the ambo. Guy's name was Gil. Quiet man, kept to himself. Didn't rock the boat or demand a bigger paddle. Just rowed with us. Good cat to learn under," John said, finally handing me a cereal box.
I took it, and he kept going, "Now, Gil, ya see, he had a little wifey that would pester him about working days. She was a cop and worked evenings at that time, so they never saw each other. When married people can't align their genitals every now and then, it spells doom."
"A little too much information but sure," I said, shelving another box of Trix.
"Probably part of what happened with you and yours," he said. He wasn't wrong, but that didn't mean I wanted to hear it.
John kept on, "Gil finally got approved to move to nights. Little pay boost and a happy, 'fulfilled' wife should've made that man happy. But it didn't. I saw him a few months later, and he had changed. He might've been quiet when he was working with me, but he'd talk to you if you engaged. When I saw him that time, though, oh boy. He looked sick."
"Wasn't a fan of working nights?"
"Wasn't a fan of living anymore is the feeling I got," John said, "After some prodding, he got to talking with me some. Told me he missed days because the nights were messing with him. I thought it had to do with the schedule change, but that wasn't the case. He said he saw things in the dark he couldn't explain. Things that would turn James Brown into James White, ya dig?"
"I...dig," I said.
"Told me they got a call to an abandoned apartment building one night, around three in the morning. Wasn't unusual. Old buildings in the city are where hop-heads congregate and share drugs. Sometimes, the drugs are too much. Sometimes, they find a person passed out or, worse, dead. When you work in the ambo, you aren't scared of death like a civilian. You've been around it. Probably seen a few folks take their last breaths. It doesn't bother you the way Mother Nature intended it should."
He handed me another box, continuing his assist streak, and kept going, "Ambo pulled up, Gil stepped out and looked for someone to talk to. Nobody there, though. Not uncommon. Some people want to help but not be involved. There's not a soul around. He calls out, but nothing comes back. Tells me he turns to get back in the ambulance when he hears a scream from inside the run-down building. They're calling for help. He's gotta go in the abandoned building in the dark."
"No thanks," I said.
"But it don't bother a medic like that. Gil's done a million of these calls. No big deal. He runs into that building but doesn't come back out until twenty minutes later. Just goes missing. After five, the crew heads in to back him up but can't find him. Gil tells me his crew called the cops. It was like he had vanished."
"What happened?"
"I asked him and he got real quiet. Said he fell into some place that looked like here but wasn't here. Said he felt their eyes on him. Judging him. Told me they followed him home and wouldn't leave him be."
"Who?"
John shrugged, "He didn't say. Shut down after that and left. Just walked past me like I was shit on the sidewalk. He quit about a week later. Heard he had a stroke a year later and was a tombstone owner three months after that. Good guy, though."
"Your aversion to overnights makes a little more sense."
"Never in a million years. You don't want something like that coming after you."
"In my case, could it get much worse?" I said with a half-smile.
"Man, I wouldn't even joke about that," he said, making the sign of the cross, "You don't want that shit attachin' itself to you. With your luck, you'd bring him in here, and it'd hop over to me. I can't have a ghost crimping my style."
After a bit, he got called away to sign off on a delivery. I finished out my shift and headed out to the parking lot. When I exited the building and spotted my car, I froze. My doors were all open, and the interior lights were on. Someone had broken in.
I glanced around the lot to see if the thief was still around, but there wasn't another person near me. I walked over to the car and peered inside. My glovebox had been ripped open, and my registration was pulled out, but nothing else was missing.
I found little hand prints in the dirt all along the body and the windows. I held mine up for comparison, and they were about half the size. It must've been some tweens or teens who did this. Maybe they were going to steal some things and got cold feet. I contemplated calling the cops, but since nothing had happened and they wouldn't do anything anyway, there was no reason to delay sleep any longer than I had to. I closed all the doors and climbed inside.
I started the car and heard something rattling in the AC vents. I pulled out my phone and shined the light at the vent. There was a small piece of paper inside. I looked around my car for some tool to pull it out and only found an ink pen and a bent-up paperclip. After McGuyvering the vent for a bit, the paper finally came out.
I held it up and unfolded it. There was a handwritten note. It simply read, "I know you're here. I know you're hiding him. I will find you both, and then it'll be your turn to run the race. We all have to run at some point."
I had no idea what that meant, but my body still provided goosebumps. Who was trying to find me? Who was the second person? Why leave a note in my AC vent? What the hell did run the race mean? I hadn't run a race since elementary school and wasn't planning to do so any time soon. Did they mean the rat race? Because I was basically marathoning that motherfucker already.
"Jesus Christ," I said, shaking my head. "What else, universe?"
As if it were a well-practiced comedy routine, the universe responded. My back passenger door swung open, and I heard footsteps running away from my car. I sprung up and scrambled to get out. There wasn't anyone else in the lot that I could see, but very clearly, someone had been hiding in my backseat.
My nerves were shot already, and this was not something I wanted to deal with at the moment. My brain decided that to avoid a breakdown, I needed to shift into automatic mode and just get back to the safety of my apartment. I'd be more prepared to deal with this – whatever it was – in the morning.
Either that or I'd jump in front of a bus. Both sounded satisfying, albeit in different ways.

"There he is," Gloria said as soon as I turned down the hallway. I looked up and noticed a small cabal of my neighbors standing in a semi-circle, waiting for me. They all look displeased.
"Hey guys," I said, confused. "I miss an invite for a block party?"
"What do you have to say for yourself?"
"About?"
"Don't play dumb," another neighbor said, jabbing their finger in my direction.
"I'm not playing," I said, realizing the self-burn only after the words escaped my lips.
Gloria showed me the screen on her phone. It was a static shot of her door from across the hall. She pressed play, and nothing happened for a beat until something darted across the screen. That was the whole thing. I looked up at her, my face twisted up in confusion.
"Well," she said, "What do you have to say?"
"What was that?" I asked.
"That was you!" the pointing neighbor said, pointing harder than I thought possible.
"What?" I said, laughing. "Are you all serious?" They didn't laugh, and I realized they weren't joking. "How can you even tell it's me? It's a blur. Never mind the fact I've been at work for the last five hours. Plus, this blur is half my size. I get we're all weirded out about the Phantom Runner, but it's not me. I swear to God. I don't even have the energy to think about running, let alone the physical desire to."
"Then explain this," Gloria said, slightly swaying from the half bottle of Pinot Noir coursing through her blood. She rewound the video and froze it on a specific frame. I couldn't believe my eyes, but I was looking at...me. Or, rather, something pretending to be me.
"What the fuck?" I said, my jaw dropping.
"Still think we're lying?" the pointer said smugly.
"No, but, guys, this isn't me. I... I've been at work. Wanna see my schedule?"
I reached into my phone and pulled it out. There was an email with my work schedule that confirmed what I was saying. They relaxed, and, for the first time, anger gave way to fear. Their very plausible explanation was suddenly invalid. It left two implausible answers floating in the ether: either I had a pint-sized doppelganger terrorizing the hallways of my apartment, or a ghost was haunting the building.
"I'm...gonna go inside," the pointer said, walking back to their home. Everyone else drifted away until it was just Gloria and I standing alone in the hallway.
She looked at me and sighed, "I feel like an asshole," she said. "Sorry I accused you of causing the racket."
"If I had seen the video, I would've thought the same thing," I said. "We're good."
"What do you think it is?" she asked.
I shrugged and let out an exhausted sigh. "Honestly, Gloria, I've had a screwed-up night already, and this is the cherry on top of the shit sundae; forgive my language. I don't have the mental bandwidth to even comprehend what's on the video at the moment."
"Think it's after you?" she asked, though I suspected the wine had forced her to put that idea out into the universe. As I had already seen, the universe seemed to take requests on my behalf.
"Maybe it's after you?" I said, coming off a little meaner than I intended, but I didn't care. I left her there to contemplate that scenario and went into my apartment.
As soon as the door shut behind me, I felt on edge. Just because I didn't have the mental bandwidth to discuss the doppelganger didn't mean it wasn't dominating my thoughts. I saw the frame of the video. The damn ghost looked exactly like me. What could that possibly mean? I know I had wished for death, but I was very still alive. I had rent due to prove that.
Did I happen to live in a place haunted by a ghost that looked strikingly like me? Was it some kid with a passing resemblance just causing chaos? Was it something else I couldn't even comprehend – an alien? A clone? A secret government project?
There was a thumping coming from the hallway. The mini Usain Bolt was at it again. I knew the neighbors would ignore it. Since they had all thought it was me, which was proven to be untrue, they would avoid the running man from now on. While curious and confused by the creature, they'd never put themselves in harm's way to discover what it was. They were not a brave lot.
Neither was I, but maybe my life crumbling around me had forced my hand. I walked over to my door and swung it open. I hit record on my phone, stuck it out like a periscope, and glanced around the hallway. Nobody was there. No neighbors were looking. No person was running.
"You gotta stop, man. I need to go to sleep," I said to the empty space. No response, not that I was expecting one.
I turned to walk back in, and I caught something out of the corner of my eye. A face at the end of the hallway peeked around the corner. For a quick second, we locked eyes, and it was like I was looking into a mirror. This thing was me. But...how?
I tried to get it on video, but it ducked back into the shadows. I took that as a cue to shut and lock my door. My heart was racing, and I didn't want to think about this anymore, but I couldn't help it. There was a me in the hallway who enjoyed pestering my neighbors. Worse, they liked to run for some ungodly reason.
I put my phone on the counter, the video still rolling, when there was a knock at my door. It echoed in my near-empty apartment. I tried to ignore it and convince myself it was something else, but it wasn't. The ghost was knocking on my door. Even with my brain paralyzed, I couldn't help but think that it was awfully polite to knock.
Another knock, this one more forceful. I wondered if the neighbors thought I was making this up?
"I know you're in there," a voice said. It sounded just like me. "This is about the race. We all have to run the race. It's your turn now."
I froze. My legs went wobbly like a boxer on the brink of a blackout, but I stayed tall. I opened my mouth to speak and found the words dying in my throat. I grabbed a nearby bottle of water and took a chug.
"We all have to run the race."
"What race?" I choked out, "What are you talking about?"
"Open up. They're in there already, and I need to get them."
I glanced all around my empty apartment. I didn't see anyone else in here. I didn't hear anything. Whatever this thing was, it was lying. I grabbed my phone and held it in my hand. I wanted to document this to prove that I wasn't crazy.
“Did you leave the note?”
“I know they’re in there with you,” it repeated.
"There's no one in here," I said.
"They're hiding. I think I know where. I can hear them."
"You've gotta get out of here," I said. "There's nothing here, and you're scaring people."
"I'm scared, and you should be! You have to run the race, man! Open up, and I can show you."
The handle started to shake. I peered through the keyhole and only saw the top of the other me's head. They began to shoulder the door, and it crunched against my nose. I screamed out in pain and stumbled back. I tripped over my feet and landed hard on my ass.
The thing slammed into the door two more times, shaking the walls. The strength seemed unnatural. On the third hit, the door burst open. I finally got a view of the thing. It was me. Scaled down by half, but it was me. We both seemed shocked.
"You're so much taller up close," the other me said.
"Who the fuck are you?"
I felt a buzzing in my feet that seemed to climb up my body until it reached my brain. There was an intense pain that rippled through the folds of my mind. Through the pain, I could hear a disembodied voice whisper, "We all must run the race. We all have to run. Chase it. Chase yourself." It felt like my skull was going to split in two. I clutched the sides of my head and let out a primal scream that hurt my own ears.
Then it was gone. But I could still feel the echoes in my mind. "We all have to run the race. We all have to run." The thought would waver between making no sense and making complete sense. One second, I was questioning what was happening to my mind, and the next, all I felt was the desire to continue the race.
"There he is!" the other me yelled, pointing at the hallway.
I glanced over and saw another version of me standing in the hallway. It was half the size of the other me that had broken into my place. When tiny me locked eyes with my intruder, he ran for the open hallway closet.
The other me followed, screaming that it would catch the little bastard if it was the last thing he'd do. I pushed myself up to my feet and felt queasy. I watched as the other me ran head-first into the closet without slowing. I expected to hear a loud thump as it hit the back wall but none came.
"We all have to run the race," the voice in my head said, soothing my nerves. "It's your time to run the race."
I moved down the hallway, each footfall echoing loudly in the empty apartment, each step bringing me closer to the closet door. Something was drawing me there. The voice's words echoed in my mind as well: "We all have to run the race. It's your turn now."
I grabbed the door and stopped. Something was compelling me to move forward. To go into the closet. To chase myself. To run the race.
"No," I whispered and yanked my hand from the door. I pulled out my still recording phone, and stared into the camera. My face was devoid of color, and you could see the fear etched into me. "I'm freaking out because...because…"
I stopped. I felt an invisible hand grab my body and tug. "Because...because if I don't run the race, something bad will happen. I have to chase it. I...I have to."
My phone dropped from my hand, and I didn’t care. The force pulling me forward stopped but my body kept going. I could feel the last strands of my rational mind splintering. My thoughts became focused on one thing: I had to catch myself, find out what was happening, and run the race. If I ran, maybe I'd win.
I needed a win.
I walked into the back of the closet and felt a door handle sticking out of the wall. I'd been in that closet a million times before and never had seen this. But a sense of calm washed over me. This….this was supposed to be here. This was perfectly fine.
I turned the handle and pulled open the invisible door. In front of me was a hallway that looked strikingly like the one outside my apartment. At the end of the hallway, I saw Gloria step out of their home to leave for the night. She was huge. Twice my size, easy.
Another door opened, and I saw...me—a giant version of me. The Hulk version of me was getting ready to go to the grocery store for work. I watched as the giant Gloria and giant me joked and laughed. I was stunned.
I stared, and a new thought came to me. I have to find the smaller me and talk to it. I needed to find out if there's a way out of this...this….
"It's your turn to run," the voice said.
Calm embraced me. "It's my turn to run," I repeated. As the giant me took off and the giant Gloria re-entered her apartment, the hallway beckoned.
"We all have to run the race," I said softly, "It's my turn now."
I started running.

The owner of our small company hired his niece as an intern in my department (admin) in January. It was supposed to be a temporary situation while she moved to our city to improve her job hunt. We didn’t have much work for her at the time but it was okay, there were some back burner projects it was helpful to have her assistance with.
We now have no work for her and have not for months. My team of two scrapes together non essential projects for her to work on. It’s clear that she doesn’t want to be here based on her daily attitude. Her schedule changes frequently to accommodate interviews and other schedule conflicts (like the owner needing her to pick up his kids from school). What I do have for her to do I feel is met with a bad attitude and is done with poor quality.
For example, a task today was to incorporate the updates to a training guide - 4-5 page word document of text and images with track changes and comments. My co-worker had to stand over her shoulder almost the entire time to help her figure out the best placement for images, formatting solutions, etc. I also will find mistakes in data entry that she’s done.
I have mentioned to the owner multiple times that we don’t have any work for her to do. I am reluctant to train her on anything essential or do any major coaching because of the quality of her work and I don’t feel it’s worth the investment if she could have a new job tomorrow. Then again it’s been almost 5 months of this.
What’s to be done here?

I’m an 3rd year carpenter working in 50+ millions dollars construction company that has offices scattered across the state of Michigan that has good amount of employees. There is that one superintendent, let’s call him “Chad” he’s working in facility department which he has the newest company truck and a trailer from being friends with the owners and often has a crew of subcontractors (illegal immigrants) working under him and sometimes pulls some of employees like myself to do jobs that’s out of there skills level.
Few weeks ago, I was filling in for the warehouse since someone messed up there back, putting my cdl in use by delivering tools and materials to each jobsites. Then Chad called me to pickup an dumptrailer from his small jobsite then drive an hour to dump it at a landfill then back. Since it’s a tight parking lot so i carefully position the pickup with dumptrailer to back up next to Chad’s pickup with boxtrailer. Before I put it in reverse Chad came out making eye contact with fingers pointed at me then told me “If you hit my trailer, I’d make sure you’d never see your fiancé and your unborn son again!” Which left everyone speechless then I shrugged it off and back dumptrailer right next to his boxtrailer with no issues. After I left, my partner who rides along with me told me it’s messed up for him to say that and that I should contact HR.
So I contacted HR right away after clocking out for the day then explained to her what happened with list of my witnesses. A week goes by I asked her then nothing, another week she keeps stalling on me so I contacted my general superintendent to explain what’s going on then he said “what does this has todo with me?” Then I told him well the HR isn’t doing anything about it, then he goes okay I’ll get on her about it. Then HR called me later that day to meet her at the office then explained to me that she investigated it, then talked to Chad herself about this and that Chad will apologize later on about it. Then I explained that I will get fired if I were to say same thing about his family so how is it okay for him? Then she explained that they’re not going to terminate someone who putted 15+ years into this company. So I asked her that I don’t wanna see or work with him again and to keep me with few other superintendent. Then she whispered that she is a new HR and not much she can do so I left the office wondering what a waste of time this was.
Should I Hire an attorney to sue the company or at least get Chad court ordered fired?
I know most of company dirty things such as employing there family members after getting caught being high on drugs, illegal immigrants, employing felons, stolen tools from Chicago and other stuff that goes against the policy handbook.

I went through the dreg heap and enjoyed it. I never found the enemies (even the angels) that annoying and had a fun time exploring. The demon twins boss was also pretty fun and I beat it after a few tries.
Then I get to the actual ringed city and it kinda sucks. The legion of spirits who fire volleys of arrows at you in a wave are just stupid and annoying. You can hide behind the grave stones and get behind them, but the conjurer cannot be killed in 1 hit like the angels, and even when you're wailing on him he still spawns spirits who can 100 to 0 you in 1 volley. What you can do is drop down so he spawns the singular knight to defend the rear entrance and then run up and hit him until he spawns the arrow spirits again. I feel like this is abusing his ai and unintentional, but I can't imagine another way to deal with him.
After that they throw gank squads at you, which is cool, but there are these annoying "curse you just by standing close" enemies that I hate, the fire ring knights that have double swings that seem to be guaranteed to hit you because you can't dodge both swings. Then there are mages who spawn damaging circles on you every second without line of sight. After that I ran outside and before I could even react, I got surrounded and instantly died to the quick lightning guys. Is the rest of the dlc this ganky and unfun or does it get better? I've heard great things about the bosses, and I enjoyed the demons so I'm hoping they're fun at least.

As the title says, We are in the grocery store and minding our own business located somewhere, USA (in Texas but willing to relocate as long as its in the USA only) and we end up bumping into each other physically, as I say I am sor.ry, our eyes lock and right then, we fall for one another and just get lost in the moment.
After a few dates, you learn that I am on disability for PTSD (non military) and you learn that I love animals and enjoy being a homebody more than being out in the public, and that I am a nonsmoker and don't even do drugs. (yes weed is a drug)
After a few weeks of dating, we end up getting into gaming together and I teach you games like fortnite, sea of thieves, fall guys, grounded, palworld. And we just spend nights gaming together and spending time together after a hectic day of just life.
After a few hours of gaming, we end up in the kitchen where we cook dinner together and then do the dishes together then snuggling on the couch or in the bed feeding each other spoons of ice cream while watching our favorite tv shows/movies before we fall asleep in each others arms.
We have a small apartment together in a small town but big city vibes with lots of things to do and places to go. You are very clingy and needy and constantly texting me through the day telling me you miss me and love me. we send cute feet pics to each other with the occasional toe wiggles while you're at work.
As you come home from work, I have a snack and drink ready for you and we sit on the couch and I rub and massage your poor tired sore feet and wiggle the little toes as you just lay there telling me about all the karens at your job and how they threatened to have you fired.
Anyway will wrap this up, if any of this sounds like it would be great, just shoot me a dm and lets chat. I prefer voice chat so must be willing to voice chat. and please no men, I am a cis male, looking for my one true love that fits me like the perfect socks on a cold winter night.
