It has been said that in Omelas, everyone is always happy. There are always constant celebrations, parties or dances to go to.

She was 8 when she noticed the blonde boy in ragged clothing with bruises, sores and cuts all over him. She doesn't think the adults ever noticed him despite his bizarre looks, but she did.

He fascinates her. His facial expressions were not like the others who always had a constant cheerful expression. His expression reminds her of the bedtime stories her parents always tell her about; fear and terror. Was that how fear looks like?

Inspired by 'The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas' by Ursula Le Guin

Death Note - O Dia Seguinte (Death Note Continuação)

Essa é a continuação da estória após o episódio 37 do anime, narrando tudo o que ocorreu com todos os personagens, especialmente Kira, L e Misa da maneira mais fiel possível ao estilo mórbido e intelectual do mangá/anime, misturando elementos mitológicos japoneses, cristãos, gregos, romanos, africanos, e adicionando aos investigadores abordagens mais condizentes com nossa realidade, enriquecendo a trama com investigações também científicas, e não se limitando somente ao misticismo nipônico. Essa estória utiliza abordagens filosóficas um tanto complexas, onde os atos do passado e do presente são avaliados pelos personagens já amadurecidos e mais sábios, com uma visão superior, mesmo que no caso de alguns, essa visão possa estar ofuscada por ressentimentos e ódio. Essa narrativa terá Kira(Raito Yagami, ou Light)como personagem principal, mas se ele vai conseguir o que quer ou não, isso já é um mistério. Creio que não há como escrever uma continuação de Death Note sem levar em consideração a estrutura do lugar de onde veio esse caderno e a hierarquia dos seres responsáveis por tudo o que aconteceu. O porquê de Deus permitir que a Morte deliberadamente matasse seus filhos aqui na Terra é uma questão abordada aqui. E o papel do Diabo nessa estória, que tenta tirar proveito dessa situação, é minuciosamente detalhado ao longo dos capítulos subsequentes.
