Smiling children, in the woods. Laughs. The sky is tinged indigo as I stand there by the lake and -

I open my eyes instinctively and look around, that strange vision fading. I looked around at the room around me and groaned, seeing the furniture that looked like it had been pulled straight out of a time centuries ago. I stand up, and instantly alert, jog downstairs, my feet not making a single noise on the wooden stairs.

I walk out the open door without looking out. This place wasn’t my home. It was just one of those living museums. And the reason no-one saw me, stopped me from sleeping there? To everyone else in this world, I am simply air. An invisible ghost. But I know I’m not a ghost, for I can remember no other life than this, it is as if I were born invisible -to everyone but myself.

I run across the street, silent, no-one hearing me, to the corner shop. Gently, I open the door. The man inside looks up, and then back down at his newspaper. He must think that the wind simply blew the door open, if only.

I walk into the storeroom, unseen and unheard, and take a chocolate bar off of the shelf, eating it careful and crumpling the wrapper in my hand. I stare at the mirror opposite me, revealing no trace of me in it, and look away almost instantly.

To myself, I look like anyone else. Maybe there’s something wrong with me. Or maybe, I don’t exist. Maybe, I’m just like a shadow, that no-one will ever see. Maybe I’m dreaming this…

I drop the wrapper in a waste paper basket, and step out of the storeroom. Like every day, I sit there in the shop, for what feels like hours, trying to get the shopkeeper to see me, to hear me, to listen.
"Hey!" I scream, throwing a bottle across the floor, getting angry. He obviously doesn’t see the hands that guide that bottle to its destination, a few inches from his feet. I start to cry silently.

I can only remember the last five years, any time before that is just a haze of flashbacks to me, and no-one has saw me in all that time. I have been completely alone, feeling like a fugitive running from the entire world. Throwing another bottle towards him, he looks up from his newspaper, and I swear for a second that he sees me, and for a heartstopping second, I stare at him. And then he stands up, opening the door to let a customer in. Oh.

The boy seems oddly familiar to me, but I can’t remember where I have seen him from, and having the oddest sense of deja vu, I stand there, just staring at him. A ghost of a smile on his face, he looks around the store, before walking over to the newspapers, picking one up and heading over to the till.

Just before he reaches the till, he turns around for just a second and walks over to the stacks of fizzy drinks, and picks one up. I mutter something under my breath, and looking up, sees that he is staring at me; not past me or through me.
"Who are you?" he asks darkly and I just stand there frozen, knowing that there is something I must be forgetting…

"How can you see me?" I whisper and he smirks.

"Stop playing dumb… you should know that by now"

Hi, I ordered a bar chair and it was sent but broken. The store took it back and promised that the bar chair will be fixed and sent back soon. It has been over three months since we ordered it. When we bought the furniture, the store promised to send it, but now the person said that either we go and pick up the bar chair in their warehouse or wait until they have the chance to send something to the area we live. I want to know if there are some laws against it or any organization can help me

Our party room is looking a little bare right now. We already have awesome graffiti with our letters on the wall, speakers, an elevated dance floor, a bar, and a dj station. What can we do to make all the sorority girls want to come to our house? What kinds of decorations, furniture, or fun items can we put in there.

Remember, we have pledge brothers, so this can be something that’s hard to build or retrieve

I’ve purchased some furniture for my combined living room/dinig room. I bought this olive colored livingroom set and a black/gray pub set with the brown leather chairs. I’m trying to keep everything together as far as the color goes. I’m kinda of confused now that I am trying to match the curtains. I’m not sure what color to get. I also wanted an area rug because my floors are acid stain concrete (brown) and it gets cold. Can someone please help with decorating skills. Thanks

I just moved to an apartment with a decent sized balcony. I have shade a good part of the day, and the breeze is fantastic. I want furniture comfortable enough that I could fall asleep on. I’m not worried about functioning for eating or anything, but I’d at least like seating for 2. A hammock would eat up all my space with the stand, so that’s the only no go I have.

Any ideas?

I moved back home after 6 years of sweet independence after a breakup.It was supposed to be a 3 mo thing until my bro and I had money for furniture and such.He cannot keep a job or hold onto his money and so he is WAY behind on the deal.Its now been 8 mo of living there.My parents have "banned" us from doing certain things, like sleeping over at friend’s houses,going out too many nights during the week.We are on a family plan as far as the cell phones go,and b/c they suspected I was talking to/seeing my ex they looked at the records to see the numbers I had been calling and then confronted me about it.I have said many times that Im 25 and I pay rent to live here and I should be free to do what I please barring coming in wasted or hurting someone.I think this is a total invasion of privacy.They think Im ungrateful.They dont pay for the phone or anything else having to do with me.I have a friend who needs help with her mortgage and I need a place of freedom.
They think that they owe me no explaination about anything they do.They refuse to tell me how they know I talk to my ex even though I already know how.(they went online) My question is when is it too far?Do they have the right to know everything about everything in their adult child’s life?Do they have the right to institute rules and bannings?My friend needs help and I need a place, but I have much younger siblings that will be heartbroken when I go.They did know that it was temporary at the beginning and I was supposed to wait for my bro but he is really slacking and its been too long.I feel like I have to ask permission for things and ask for my freedom, and that bugs me.My parents are still very intimidating to me for some reason.How do I get the "balls" to really really tell them NO not "i have a problem with that" They say they are not controlling,I think otherwise.Im 25 have a great job for 7 yrs,earn good money,good work ethic,go to family things,nice person…any advice?
