Good & Evil: Chapter 22

January 9, 2017

Blah. Oh, Estella. In spite of my usually whimsical self, I feel for that girl. Imagine it. The one person you love more than anything in the world, stripped from you without pause or cause for concern. Just like that – gone. Not even a goodbye. Now, I say imagine it….but can you really? Truly consider … More Good & Evil: Chapter 22

Good & Evil: Chapter 21

January 9, 2017

I miss him. I miss him so, so much. Earlier today I took a walk along the river and sat at the spot Mikal and I used to catch fish. I recall the time he brought me there for an actual picnic…where we could eat outside without worry of the Overseers finding us.  He set … More Good & Evil: Chapter 21

Good & Evil: Chapter 20

January 9, 2017

You know, I generally try to maintain a neutral feeling when I sift through these journal entries. Helps keep me sane, ya know? But I have to admit, I’m sort of feeling for Mikal. It sounds like he played his cards just a bit too poorly and ended up getting the shit end of the … More Good & Evil: Chapter 20

Good & Evil: Chapter 19

January 9, 2017

Pain. It’s all I feel. It’s the only thing that keeps me going in this life of Left. Every day I wonder what Estella is doing. Every day I yearn to convince the Overseers that my mind is pure. But how can I? How can I, when they say they have the tools to look … More Good & Evil: Chapter 19

Good & Evil: Chapter 17

January 6, 2017

I must say, I now understand why Mikal was Filed to the Left.  Today the Overseer collected all of the town’s new Files, and took us into a room in the Capitol Building where much was revealed. He explained the process of deceit, and how those who are Filed left falsify their behaviors to project … More Good & Evil: Chapter 17

Good & Evil Chapter 16 

January 4, 2017

Well now! Sounds like our guy is falling a little deeper into the depths of depravity, no? Openly acknowledging his attempts of deceit and manipulation? Ballsy move, if you ask me. What if these Overseer people busted his door down and found his journal? He’d be screwed, right? Not that he’s given them reason to, … More Good & Evil Chapter 16

Good & Evil: Chapter 15

January 4, 2017

Days and days of work. Raw hands, tattered hair, and dry, cracking skin. I find pause in my attempts to deceive my arbitrators. My plan to prove my purity has gone awry. The Overseer of my block is not content with the work that we are doing, and he takes out his frustrations on us … More Good & Evil: Chapter 15

Good & Evil: Chapter 13

December 30, 2016

She’s going to be mine. I cannot stand the thought of Donavan having her. I must find a way to convince them that I have become Good. That I’m pure. Today I spoke with the Overseer. I told him how much I appreciated this process, and for opening my eyes. It was something I believe … More Good & Evil: Chapter 13

Good & Evil: Chapter 10

December 27, 2016

Almost makes you feel sorry for the girl, huh? Funny thing, love. It’s different in everyone’s eyes, wouldn’t you say? After all, are we sure our good friend Mikal here was intent on the benevolence of his little fling with Estella? Or did he just play the game the right way so he could land … More Good & Evil: Chapter 10

Good & Evil: Chapter 9

December 27, 2016

Oh, what shall I do?! There must have been a mistake. I cannot accept this. Mikal has been Filed left! I shan’t see him again, and my heart aches when I think of it. All this time we’ve spent in anticipation, patiently waiting for the day when we would be Filed together. How could this … More Good & Evil: Chapter 9
