2025.02.02 01:59 Trash_Tia Two months after my boyfriend died, I saw a crow carrying his torso.
Jem died on prom-night.
Alone, and crumpled in the road, shattered into pieces.
While I was convinced he'd stood me up.
The person who hit him swiped the ring he was going to propose to me with.
“We’re burying what we could find.” I was told at his funeral.
That's what his Mom told me. Instead, she buried his tux and shoes.
She said that's what he would have wanted. I know Jem, and he would have wanted to be cremated.
Jem hated the idea of being buried underground to rot away into nothing.
He once told me, if he were to ever die young, Jem wanted his ashes sprinkled in the sea.
His mother's words stuck with me, heavily, like a fucking weight on my chest. She did her best to comfort me at the funeral, but I couldn't stand the idea of burying an empty coffin.
"We're burying what we they can find."
They couldn't FIND anything.
Jem was dead and gone, and whatever pieces of him left were lost. Most of him was caught around the car wheel.
Apparently, the crime scene was grisly. Blood on the road, a cruel scarlet smear.
Excuse me for my language, but the evil bastard who hit him didn't even care.
He swiped the ring Jem was going to propose to me with.
And left him dead on the side of the road like he didn't fucking matter.
Grief is weird. It hits you in waves, and emotions no longer feel like your own.
I laugh, and it doesn't feel right.
I cry, and it feels forced.
It's like being an alien among humans.
I thought I was okay, and then I was hearing his favorite song, smelling his cologne was still clinging to my clothes and my car seats, even my own skin.
Then I was breaking apart all over again, overwhelmed, fucking suffocated with him– until I couldn't breathe.
I wanted to stay with him– even if he was six feet under the ground, buried in dirt and surrounded by wilting flowers.
It wasn't fucking fair that I was alive, and he wasn't.
Every day, I was numb, and I was sick of numb.
Every day had no sound. Every day was like living in a forwarding video tape, and I was the only one awake. Alive.
Two months after Jem’s death, sound bled back in the form of a loud squawk.
I was walking back from school a few days ago. I don't know what day it was.
I don't care. Lifting my head, a crow swooped above me. I admit, I was mesmerized, smiling a little.
I think that was the first time I actually felt something. But then I glimpsed what was caught between its talons.
Scarlet entrails twisted in burned strips of clothing I recognized.
What was never recovered. What his mother was still looking for.
Something snapped inside me, my legs giving way.
Jem’s tux. The one he died wearing.
Another crow flew past, its beak twitching, beady eyes focused.
This time, my boyfriend’s mutilated torso was clinging between tiny talons, and I thought I was going to throw up.
My first thought was they were hungry. But it didn't matter, because they accomplished what the police couldn't.
The crows found him.
Before I could stop myself, I threw myself into a run.
I know it sounds ridiculous, but I HAD to know what was left of him, and how much of him– and if I would be able to scoop up his lost pieces and take him home. The crows touched down deep in the town forest. I thought it was a nest, or worse, maybe they were eating him.
But to my shock, there were bodies, all of them dead kids, and among them, my boyfriend, lying in pieces half fused together, his head attached to his torso.
The crows worked effortlessly, hopping across the ground, piecing Jem together like a puzzle. I watched, baffled.
These kids weren't recently dead. They died a while ago. Serena drowned last fall. Rowan crashed his car two years ago.
It started to to hit me slowly, in waves of ice cold water, that the crows didn't find the other dead kids.
When one crow pecked at Rowan's torso, pulling out stringy intestines, his body jerking, just like Jem’s, I slammed my hand over my mouth.
The crows dug them up.
Which means these birds actively searched for them.
Wanted them specifically.
Serena’s face was half rotted away, maggots creeping from her nostrils.
The crows rolled her over, chirping to each other, like giving each other orders.
Rowan was more skeletal than human, and yet I watched, transfixed, as fleshy patches of feather-like skin spread across the pearly white of his skull, covering his half mutilated grimace.
When they were finished with the other two, their focus went to Jem.
He took a while. So long that my legs were aching from staying crouched, my clammy hand glued to my mouth.
When they were finished, the crows left in a flock, taking off into the sky.
They had buried Serena and Rowan in shallow graves covered in flowers and berries.
I think… I could be mistaken, but I think it was their own version of a funeral.
Jem, however, lay on his back. Somehow, despite the grisly way he had been put back together, he was still beautiful.
I thought I was never going to see him again, and there he was, put together like a puzzle piece. I noticed he was missing an arm, and a quiet “chirp” startled me.
Next to me, a baby crow was dragging his mutilated arm.
And with perfect precision, reattached it, hopping across my boyfriend’s stomach.
It flew off when I got too close, struggling to hold myself together.
I dropped to my knees in front of him, tears choking my throat.
I could take all of him back to his mother.
I could bury him whole.
I scooped him up, but when he twitched in my arms, I dropped him.
“Jem?” I whispered, my trembling hands cradling his face.
His flickering eyes, lips parting in a silent cry.
He didn't move, his head slumping, but his chest was… twitching.
He was alive.
When I rolled him onto his back, something slimy filled my throat.
Something was writhing under his skin, raven black streaks running up and down his naked spine.
His body twisted and jerked, his head snapping back, concealed blood seeping from his mouth in black lumps. I shuffled back when his spine broke through skin, splitting in two, bulging feathered appendages protruding from his back.
Wings.
He was beautiful, and yet when Jem turned to me, vacant eyes, beady, almost bird-like, I found myself stepping back.
The glamour over my eyes seemed to come apart, and I saw the reality of him, a human twisted and cruelly contorted into something inhuman.
His head twitched, dead eyes staring straight through me.
I think he was trying to speak, the way his lips parted slowly, but I don't think he could.
Behind him, a single crow watched him, its head inclined, almost like it was waiting for something.
I screamed at it, told it to shoo, but the bird just sat there staring at me.
It wasn't frightened or intimidated.
It's almost like it was playing it's own fucked up games with me, pushing me to rush at it or try and attack the thing.
Jem didn't react when I said his name. Instead, he turned, spread his wings, and took off into the night.
After a moment of the crow watching me, again, like it wanted me to do something.
Its tiny eyes flicked to a pebble, and I felt it; a sudden, overwhelming urge to grab the rock, and throw it at its head.
But I didn't.
And, like it was disappointed, it too swooped into the air, giving a last a caw.
Days later, I was woken by ice cold air.
My window was open.
And on my pillow next to me, something was wet.
My forehead was sticky, strands of my hair glued to my cheeks.
There was a decapitated head neatly placed on my pillow. Its eyes were still wide open, like they were still screaming.
Next to it, was my ring.
The following night, I woke to coins being dropped on my pillow.
Then maggots.
Human arms and legs.
I think he's giving me ‘gifts’ but I'm fucking terrified of him, and what he's turned into.
If I shut my window, he comes through the front door.
He won't stop.
I've told the authorities, but they're convinced it's some kind of animal????
I led the sheriff back to the forest where I found the bodies of the other kids, but they're gone.
I'm terrified the same thing that happened to Jem-- whatever creature he became - - is happening to them too.
I keep hearing noises at night, loud chirping and flapping wings.
Like they're outside my house hunting me down.
It sounds like they're teasing me, waiting for the right moment.
I can hear a mix of human laughter, laced with something wrong. Bird-like.
They're outside right now. Laughing. They won't stop laughing.
Giggling.
Chittering in their own language, and sometimes I swear the birds answer.
They swoop past my window, slamming their talon-like nails on my window.
I tried locking and bordering it up, but they just tore it down.
Please help me. How do I get Jem to stop??? Is there a way to stop them??
Whatever my boyfriend has turned into is trying to fucking KILL me.

2025.02.02 01:59 FinancialAnything142 Looking for gameplay focused games with little to no story
Hey, My most played genres are boomer shooter and roguelites because they barley have any dialogue or story which is stressful and ruins the pacing in most games for me. I'm open for all kind of genres. (I tend to look for hidden gems but all games are fine)
I'm playing on a laptop with integrated graphics/shared memory. Playing on steam.
Specs:
ProcessoCPU : Intel Core i5-12450H 2,5 GHz Quad-core 8 threads
Graphics : Intel UHD Graphics (around 1GB dedicate vram)
Ram : 16GB DDR4

2025.02.02 01:59 DoingThings- Beskar shield vs Seer. Instant win?
Mayem 11, Fl4k 72 (rakk attack, power within, on action skill end damage anointments, free radical)
I got to the seer (did not expect such a big boss) and died a few times to it, then decided to try out my new Beskar shield which I had just gotten from spending a bunch of diamond keys. It COULD NOT hurt me. All I had to do was just stay out of the big electric orbs and I was pretty much fine. ran out of pistol ammo and had to resort to worse guns but it still died evetnually and I had no problem.
The seer is supposed to be one of the harder bosses, right?

2025.02.02 01:59 velodeviation Recommendations for buying heirloom tomatoes (and other veggies)
In the past I’ve bought seeds from Baker Creek - they have a lot of rare varieties that are hard to find elsewhere and I love their catalogue. However, the past few years I’ve had issues with some tomatoes seed varieties I’ve bought from them all developing tobacco mosaic virus. My brother in law has had the same issue.
Because of this I’m looking for somewhere else to buy vegetable seeds! I love to grow a few rare varieties of tomatoes every year, but would love a company that has a good selection of everything. Thank you for your recommendations!

2025.02.02 01:59 JoeyMcPetersmackIII Beginner looking to upgrade gear - advice?
I've been shooting with my Canon EOS R100 (18-45mm lens kit) for a few months as my first camera. My objective with my photography is to get sharper and more accurate images so that when I look at them I feel like I'm in the picture. I know it's early, but I'm ready to spend some money to get sharper images (max budget $300). I've already researched and incorporated every tip to achieve this goal. How can I spend money to get sharper, more quality images? A better lens? Something else?

2025.02.02 01:59 EnergeticArmadillo We could have had it all, Sir
She's the female version of you with a higher power on her back. She is funny, fun, intuitive, and active. She loves her children and yours. Most importantly, she loves you. You threw away your soul mate for what, exactly? To relive your 20s in your 40s? To chase endless tail? To validate your weak ego? You have an endless need for novelty and conquest...it is a big part of why your first marriage failed. You have the potential to be with someone who would do nothing but love and enrich your life if only you were capable of love and faith and commitment in return. Instead you squander away all that is beautiful for money, hotel rooms, drunken nights, cheap sex, external validation. You lied. You refused to tell her the truth that you were chasing and screwing other people. She knew. You hated that she knew. So you gaslit her. Accused her of needing too much reassurance...of being paranoid...you began chipping away at her. Then when she couldn't handle the dishonesty anymore you let her go. All she wanted was the truth and you couldn't admit what yoy were doing behind her back. You were given this life to do so much better, Sir. Do better.

2025.02.02 01:59 Vicious_Paradigm The recruit S1:E2
Max is chased by two assasins into a bathroom. She retrieves the gun from the bathroom wall behind the sink pipe and hits one of them with a piece of the sink where he falls into the bathroom stall. Later as she fights off the other guy he is getting back out of the stall and she two taps him, center mass, and the head where he falls back into the bathroom stall, crumpled and apparently very dead.
Later after she shoots the 2nd guy in the head toward the end of the fight... the first guy can be seen slowly crawling out from under the stall door as if he had ONLY been hit by the piece of sink. Someone forgot to tell him he was dead, or this is a zombie show and I haven't gotten far enough yet 😉

2025.02.02 01:59 AmbiaticOcean The Ultimate Sci-Fi Adventure
(any feedback is appreciated, let me know how the adventure turned out for you? There should be many ways to start, I made sure to give you full control of who your character is, their faction and where the adventure starts. Please let me know what you think!
Thank you so much for playing)
The earth was forever changed since the discovery of wormhole technology over 200 years ago. Wormhole PortGates are secured under government control and utilized in federal military bases for the purpose of scouting out unmapped planets, training new recruits and sending military support either for aid, war or security to other worlds. With the discovery of wormhole tech also came the discovery of abilities, the humans of earth's military in their PortGate travels to other worlds made contact and trade with extraterrestrials of all types resulting in the acquisition of self enhancement through abilities. Ability books are expensive and highly sought after. On earth, those without abilities are often seen as useless and those with abilities are often valued and given more opportunities as well as a higher social status. Earth's military holds most of the ability books and often uses this as leverage when recruiting new students, since the military promises each new recruit a free ability book. On earth, every year the military recruits teenagers as 1st year students and stations them at a military base for training.
PLOT and CONFLICT:
20 years ago humanity was threatened by a humanoid reptilian race called the Dalki and there was a great war which nearly wiped out humankind. Mysteriously though, the Dalki retreated and have not returned. Since the Dalki's retreat, Earth's military conscripts everyone of the age of 16 annually into military school for a 2 year program, to better prepare the next generation for a potential Dalki attack.
PURE is an organization that is opposed to the military, to abilities and their use. PURE believes that humanity should remain unaltered by abilities. Instead of relying on abilities, PURE practices chi energy flow. PURE is an enemy of the military and sends out its agents to spy on them for the purpose of sabotage and espionage.
MILITARY SCHOOL: Enter the base universe of the WebNovel "My Vampire System!" Learn an ability, team up with familiar allies as you advance in military school from the early part of the series.. or perhaps start off your adventure as an agent of PURE? Or play as a Dalki or Vampire from the beginning of the adventure.. who you start off as and your faction are entirely up to you!

2025.02.02 01:59 VividMemory98 I hate dreaming of you
I hate that you cut so deep, I wake up from dreams that to anyone else should be happy. Just you and I, doing our daily tasks, walking room to room chatting aimlessly about our days.
But your scent isn't there...
I can't feel your hair brush my face as we embrace.
I can't feel the warmth of your touch when you rub my neck.
The dream of you feels like a ghost. Feels like a hologram, an imitation of what my love was.
Everytime I wake up only to wonder if things had happened differently in a different time line would we have been okay? Would things have gone differently? It's hard to except a future without you and it's not one I would have chosen. I miss you beautiful and will always.
