Separated from his father, Sheldon is brutally beaten and wakes up days later in an abandoned school with a beautiful girl named Cara. The two spend time together in hiding along with a couple of kids who have strange ideas about the intentions of the alien invasion. The group is soon picked up by some edgy teenagers who have hot-wired an old school bus, and are preparing to escape to the water. However, when Cara surrenders herself, Sheldon learns about the horrifying yet curious vision of these rapidly evolving aliens. The lovestruck teen soon questions the morality of the human spirit, and wonders what it might be like to submit to the utopian idealisms of this new alien race. **WARNING** - this story may seem 'gentle' in the beginning, but it can get a little disturbing and there is some mature content.

My eyes were literally glowing, there was no mistaking it. It was not a reflection of light, or any of the other excuses I had used or others had assumed. They were glowing a light sapphire blue color. It was not a bright glow, but it was definitely a glow. Glowing eyes were not normal. Okay, at this point I had to admit it, I was no longer normal. What was I then? For that, I had no answer [[Word count: 495,000]] Copyright August 2016. All Rights Reserved. Readers may not copy, alter, or steal this story.

🍌🍌🍌Think Netflix's SEX EDUCATION, but without the accents, and instead of pictures and sound, I put the words on the screen, and you paint the pictures with your mind.🥒🥒🥒 *** Some guys are showers. Some guys are growers. Then there's Peter. He's got a big secret about a little problem (in his pants). But one day, that secret gets out, and Peter's life is ruined. The guys at his high school mock Peter without mercy. The girls giggle at the idea of dating Peter. But the situation isn't entirely without hope. Peter's best friend Elroy is a wannabe teenage business prodigy who sees Peter's predicament as an opportunity to develop a product that will help him "tap into the bajillion dollar market for addressing male insecurity." Meanwhile, a mysterious art student named Audrey seems to like-like Peter, despite his, ahem, little problem. Which is weird, because the rumor around school is that Audrey is a size queen. Why else would she be collecting so many dick pics? Peter's Little Peter is a story about the truth behind the myths of male sexuality, the awkwardness of teenage romance, surviving high school, and the bumpy road to self-acceptance.

Children of the God of War, the Seren of the Mountain believe in two things: might is power, and magic is sin. Yet in their hubris, the Clan has forgotten their most important role - to protect the most powerful weapons in all the realms from being unleashed upon the Mortal Realms once more. * * * Born with the Goddess's Blessing on her skin, the elders thought Eliah would be the second coming of Taiten, the greatest warrior the Clan has ever seen. What they got was a walking blasphemy. Eliah Taitenschild is short, skinny, and useless in a fight - and she's a magic-wielding heretic to boot. All she wants to do is pass her shieldmaiden training without having her magic exposed. Or better yet, complete the Rite and kill a demonic, shape-shifting Fal'mor to prove herself worthy of wielding one of the weapons that the legendary Taiten left behind. But a silent war between magic and might has been brewing on the mountain for decades. When new life is bled into the near-extinct army of Fal'mor in the name of proving strength, the Clan soon discovers that the weapons they were meant to guard were never the kind that could be wielded. Fortunately, for every weapon, there's a countermeasure. The magic that the Clan so detests may turn out to be the most powerful sword and shield of all. ============== 𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗲: This story was formerly published as 'Crossroads' (Apr 2014).
