What is a Nightstalker? Pt. 5

I knew this Exo once. Ran with him for a while, we were close. As close as hunters get, anyway. I remember he told me about... resets. About when an Exo’s memories start to leak in, or they get traumatised, or... well, just about anything really. They reset ‘em. Back to factory settings. Clean wipe. He was on his 4th back then. He told me once, that he was scared. He worried that if they could take memories away, that maybe they could add them too. Or worse, alter them. I’ve never been able to forget it. Because... the same thing happened to me, didn’t it? When I woke up on that field. I was reset. But I’m flesh and bone. It, shouldn’t be possible, right? But I don’t remember a childhood, or parents. I’ve been back to the place I died, because it’s my first memory... It... matters, to me. I think. Guardians don’t dream. But... I swear I have. I can remember having dreamt. But never what it was about... is it possible that, the traveler can still control what we see? So if, we ever dreamt of our past lives, it could hide that memory from us? I don’t know. All I know, is every now and then when my ghost revives me, sometimes I think I wouldn’t mind a reset. A clean slate. To wake up and not have these questions anymore. To walk back in the city and feel like I belong, mistakenly or otherwise. A fresh start. I’m romanticising one of the most traumatic moments of my closest friends life... Man, I have been outside the walls for too long. I miss soap.

  • Thank you for these! Your writing is exceptional and it was revitalizing to read. Really hope to see a Pt. 6 (and more) in the future.

    • The best part is the emotion, you can feel what this poor nightstalker is feeling, what it’s like to be an outcast, one who has a little too much time to think. 👏

      • Rogue Keep writing, write like you have a fever of 101 degrees and the only cure is more cowbell.. I mean writing. Write romance stories, thrillers, horror stories, write everything under the sun and hopefully someday you will have your own wonderful world published in print!! If you do, I will buy a copy and read it!! Good luck Rogue.

          I like this one. Sooooooooooo… [spoiler]Rogue-1 when?[/spoiler] By the way, I don’t mean to sound rude but I think you forgot the tag unless that was on purpose.

          • Hey, nice story and I dont want to sound petty, but Exo guardians do not reset anymore. In their first life without a ghost they are reset when they start to malfunction. With a ghost, this does not happen, so they do not reset
