Platonic Friendship

One day, I found myself wondering how I could strengthen a relationship I believed I was going to lose, unable to do anything about it. Later, I doubted my own actions when I saw myself bound by a treacherous impulse, and now, I no longer want that wonderful bond of friendship to disappear again. Just like in the beginning, we are facing an unknown world. But unlike back then, now we have each other. New people, new situations, new emotions… yet I don’t feel worried. Being with him, I am capable of overcoming anything. I place my hand over my heart and swear that no matter who dares to break into everything that supports our relationship, I will give my all to achieve the future I long for by his side. © 2022 Amarok Volk.

Whispers echoed, repeating ‘what a terrible tragedy,’ over and over again. They’re suffocating me… ‘Get yourself aligned and learn to look for the signs,’ said a reddish glow, soon covered in blood. You took away the most precious thing I had. You forced me to cut off my emotions. You dragged me to the depths of this immense sea, filled with pain and misfortune. You remember what I told you the day it all began, don’t you? I will not be part of this happy circle. Now that you know, are you willing to look me in the eyes and ask for forgiveness? I hope so, because I will not rest until I sink you into the sea where you forced me to live. A.B © 2020 Amarok Volk. All rights reserved.

The vlogger I hate vanishes without a trace, leaving behind a challenge instead of answers. A cryptic riddle—and a promise to hand over all his YouTube channels and social media accounts to whoever solves it first. Katya, my ex and still my closest friend, is stunned. She’s his biggest fan. Ironically, he’s also the reason we broke up. Max once told his followers to “never settle for less,” and Katya took that advice to heart. Now she wants my help. Her deep knowledge of Max in exchange for my deductive skills. If we win the quest, we split the prize: I get the gaming and streaming channel, she gets his personal vlog. It should be simple. But digging into Max’s mystery means confronting our past—and deciding whether some prizes are worth reopening old wounds for.
