265 days. I have been in confinement for 265 days. It doesn't seem so long when you think about it but it somehow feels like a lifetime, and the longer this continues, the more hazy the world before becomes. As we approach the end of Chapter 1 of this never ending story, I am in … Continue reading Final Thoughts [Onyx]
Nightmares [Onyx]
There is something to be said about starting a digital journal to toy with the idea of a futurist world, and then that idea becoming your reality. The world has changed. Who knew that it would be now, that it would be us who have to stand and witness the rapid decline of our world, … Continue reading Nightmares [Onyx]
DAY 12 [Onyx] [LOCKDOWN]
Onyx reporting for duty. I guess I should start by giving some sort of apology for my absence, but I think we have established by now that I am not one for keeping up with routines. You can say I am unpredictable, I call it being lazy. It seems the country and half the world … Continue reading DAY 12 [Onyx] [LOCKDOWN]
Saying Goodbye…And Other Random Thoughts [Onyx]
This week is a bit of weird one. One, because I can't quite grasp the pace of it, whether it is going by fast or slow, and two, because my work friend is leaving on Thursday. They say that the friendships you make while at the office are their own special kind of friendship; bound … Continue reading Saying Goodbye…And Other Random Thoughts [Onyx]
Reminiscing [Onyx]
Hello, it's me. Have you missed me? Most probably not. I wish I could say that my short disappearance is down to some mystical adventure I was involved in, but that would be lying. The truth is that I have been absorbed in my own cocoon for a little longer than usual. Growing up as … Continue reading Reminiscing [Onyx]
Another Door [Onyx]
After what seems like the longest two weeks in my life, I can finally breathe again. These past two weeks have been the worst ones for my mental health and sanity - a mixture of anxiety, loneliness, and yearning, all packed up nicely in a small box and placed inside my chest. Yesterday was the … Continue reading Another Door [Onyx]
Some Sort of Crisis[Onyx]
So remember when I said that I was going to have a new bod-mod done this weekend? Well, I decided to do it on Thursday instead, as originally planned, in order to have more time to recover. All I can say is thank goodness I did it this way because this is the toughest bod-mod … Continue reading Some Sort of Crisis[Onyx]
Details [Onyx]
Today was one of those days, you know, the ones where everything seems to be going well until you hear someone say: 'Onyx, why don't you sit with me and explain this to me' at exactly 1655hrs and all your brain is capable of computing is how to escape to the nearest empty pod. I … Continue reading Details [Onyx]
Four Walls [Onyx]
Four walls. It doesn't matter if you live in the Citadel or in the Belt, you are always bound to four walls. 'Move to the belt' they said. 'The extra oxygen will regenerate you'- they claimed in between gulps of rare champagne and inhales of illegally imported cigars. I should have known better. Decisions made … Continue reading Four Walls [Onyx]
