TheRemnant Plot Summary After a failed suicide attempt, Shikauhno Lee (age 16) moves back to her birthplace, Ryojima, Japan. Soon upon her arrival, she learns of the mysterious deaths and disappearances plaguing the city known as Black Onda; also rumored to be supernatural causes. Subsequently, she ends up crossing paths with a man who is reported missing. Despite their identical appearance he denies being the missing person and pursues Shikauhno with one goal: to rip her heart out. Suddenly, a mystifying man brandishing a guitar as a weapon comes to Shikauhno's rescue by vanquishing the man and leaves her with a short yet cryptic message, "Let the dead bury their own."

Meet Kevin Jones, a fourteen-year-old boy with a history for being at the wrong place at the wrong time. Hobbies include: video gaming for twenty-four hours straight, entertaining his cousins, and... well, besides eating and sleeping, his talents and interests end there. He's an average teenage boy with no social life. He doesn't even look different, with brown hair, brown eyes, and more on the small side. That's all before he (literally) crashes into some pretty weird stuff. Glowing orbs? Hidden science labs under old rickety warehouses? Sudden... Abilities? Add a girl who can turn invisible into the mess along with a strange school hidden away in a magical portal and you've got yourself a story. ~*ON HOLD BECAUSE OF LACK OF INSPIRATION AND A FEAR OF MESSING UP THE PLAN OF THE STORY (and also because I [kinda] forgot what I wanted to write/how the story was gonna go) SO PLEASE DON'T HATE ME! I'M WRITING SHORT STORIES TO GET CREATIVITY FLOWING AND KEVIN WILL RETURN! EVENTUALLY...*~ #304 in Science Fiction, July 6th

They say in life there are no second chances. But what if you had blown it with the girl of your dreams? What would you do knowing that she was out there, in other realities, realities you hadn't screwed up? That kind of thing could really mess you up... and it could make you do "some crazy." Down-on-his-luck David Blunt is as loser as a loser you can get; recently kicked out of school and fired from his dead end job, David's been squatting in his flop-house apartment, avoiding his landlord and subsisting on stale fortune cookies and cheap street meat for weeks. But when David reads a fortune that predicts an epic future for him, he starts to think that his luck is about to change. Emma Gossett is a spirited world traveler full of wanderlust, and never stays put in one place long enough to form any attachments. Her lovable and eccentric Gran insists this is because she was hidden from the Norns as a babe to keep them from naming Emma's fate, a fable Emma puts little faith in. But when Emma meets David, her faith in reality is shaken to the core. Does this rambling cynical romantic hold the answer to the prevailing sense of déjà vu she's been feeling lately? Or is it just something else, as her new and mysterious and magnetic acquaintance Gabriel insists? Perhaps he holds the key to the mysterious sensations she has felt of living another life alongside her own. All Your Fates is a multiverse mindwarp with supernatural elements that one reader commented: "This story is twisting into ways a pretzel couldn't even try!!"
