Soulmates... since time immemorial.... No. I can’t sleep anymore. I can’t toss and turn in bed for another second. I don’t care if it’s the middle of the night, I am going for a run. Now. Pulling on a jumper and cap, I exit the tiny room of my homestay. I start with a brisk pace along the narrow road leading to the village square only a hundred meters away. I feel restless, in need of adrenalin to dispel the gruesome images still lingering from my nightmare. Along with the beauty of my surroundings, the intensity of those dreams increased until tonight when they forced me out of my cosy bed in the dead of the night. I increase my pace and very soon I find myself crossing the last house of the village and into the outer edges of a dense pine forest. The cold air and the exertion had tired my body and I must have spaced out for a bit until I am suddenly jerked awake by a most unexpected sound. The sound of a human voice! It is singing. A high pitched, crooning, strange, animalistic sound drifts towards me through the pine forest in front of me. A female voice! As if in a dream, I follow the voice which calls for me, full of pain and longing. A longing which traverses the pine scented cold air and spears right inside me. My heart aches, my vision goes blurry as the images from my nightmare flashes before my eyes. The giant ferns, the deep ravine, the iridescent blue of a river, a tear streaked face, a bloody cheek. A standalone Soulmate romance...
