Prologue

Deep in the darkest point of the Midnight Valley existed a facility with a purpose of despicable evil. A place ruled by once innocent creatures who had been mind controlled into absolute obstruction, re-enacting the lessons they believed to be true.

We were pure lights filled with endless possibilities that had the power to cure the world of its anomalies. But those in power would not tolerate such good deeds and instead chose to lock us under the rules they declared, with chaos hovering over us in intimidation. Under such cruel management dictating who we were destined to be and surrounded by dark corridors with windows consistently blacked out, we often dreamed of the possibilities outside of the realities assigned to us. This was outlawed and the longer we stayed, the sooner we would succumb to believing the lies being fed to us by those with intentions misaligned.

We prayed to open the doors and be acquainted with the outside world, free of all the dark control that consistently rendered us motionless. But sometimes you must be careful what you wish for when every door leads to a new nightmare unfolded.

Pure Life; Conditioned Into Darkness

written by Dan Roberts

Hollow Nights.

There used to be bright lights before we all went to sleep We used to imagine a future but we were indeed so naïve This used to be our kingdom before the destruction came to be Our castle turned to ruin and now there is glass at our feet

I heard all the legends of those who came before me about a time beautifully alive where the people were proud to be There was sun and gorgeous flowers and smiles always showed through But then the fateful storm came one night and our light turned midnight blue

I cannot imagine a place that was not like this The streets are dark and very cold and it is all I know I keep moving my feet forward passed the rubble and debris This town is tainted from devastated memories and they continue to follow me down every street and alleyway, rendering me smaller and lonelier by the day There will never be a future if this continues to be my home I must escape before its depression takes its toll

I hope to one day find a light that guides me towards a paradise because I simply refuse to believe that this is all that is meant for me I was meant to adventure in beautiful fields and avenues This cannot be all I forever live and know; there must be a path for my lost soul

I will make a wish and send it out into the sky for peace to exist and I will not dare ask for reasons why All that I want is to see the life beyond the tide The gorgeous sights of a brighter life that is not here

Mark my words, I will acquaint it someday

Blue Serenity: Phase 1 Hollow Nights Under Starry Skies #1

written by Dan Roberts

Pure Life, Interrupted.

Idle minds dreaming of highs found in times of past, longing for sunshine underneath future’s bright breath Effervescent wishes not yet born into light with insistent desperation calling into the night Broken children craving lands they have not seen, residing in the sewers of lost hopeful dreams Incessant demands of what life should mean, as functionality becomes frozen from harmful misdeeds of those who claim ownership of their souls

They sit still in waiting for a timely escape from the hell they know too well haunting them every day

They sit still, patiently hoping to one day be met with the visual of what life looks like outside the blackened windows that keep them where they are

Blue Serenity: Phase 0 Pure Life; Conditioned Into Darkness #2

written by Dan Roberts

Prologue

Waking up to a world unveiled before him, he felt lost and hopeless. Losing sight of the memories that preceded him and those he shared space with, he looked around to the realities of circumstance, breathing in the horror of the surrounding world.

He was trapped in a dark world on his own. A world so potentially beautiful, but cursed with dark energy that lurked on every corner. The night persisted with streets cold and empty as he walked for miles in search for a reason to believe he had a purpose to live out in this space. But with every step and each waking thought, an endless stream of doubt and fatigue filled his mind until he was rendered incapable of any other feeling.

“Perhaps there was once love here,” he thought. If indeed true, something catastrophic had certainly taken place and ravaged a community that was once so free. The cages he lived within suffocated him beyond his control. Yet, he was filled with immense hope and held onto the dream that one day he could break out of the darkness and regain control of his path once and for all.
