Tantalizing crimson eyes and jet black hair were all Lily could remember in the features of the enigmatic young man who saved her ten years ago when she was kidnapped.

 One day, she accidentally saw him again after ten years in the middle of a busy street in an unexplainable situation. 

Time froze for few seconds people around her stopped moving and in his snap of finger defreezes time as the car in front of him lose control and crashed with the nearby truck.

She was left dazed on what had just happened in front of her The scene shocked her and triggered her memory of him.
 "The guy who saved me was no human," she murmured staring blankly, remembering their uncanny encounter a decade ago.

"Grim reaper?" Confusion was written on her face.
He shook his head, "Non I am Doom and I bring death to people."

After the street incident, she couldn't forget his face and his lines kept replaying in her dreams like a broken tape which made her wonder if this is part of the after-effects of her trauma or if it was destiny who aligned their stars again to collide.

DOOM

I am strolling leisurely as the gentle breeze lightly kissed my rosy cheeks. 


The wind was blowing a few strands of my blond hair. It was already almost four o'clock in the afternoon and the sun was about to set. 


I looked up and I admired the beauty of the vivid shades of the mixed hues of pink, blue, and orange. 


The atmosphere was kind of solemn despite the busy street, and loud horns of cars, motorcycles, and buses. 


Exploring the few parts of the city and inhaling the scent of Earth made me feel relaxed and soothed. I definitely need a break from all the pressure and responsibilities given to me as the only heir of the large chains of businesses. 


I first went across the street to find a book store. 


Books are my haven. It does not only expand my knowledge, but also it comforts me from loneliness. As I have mentioned before, I have no friends nor family to hang out with.
