Haris follows closely behind until we reach the main entrance of the building. We stand behind the glass doors and stare in shock at the new world that we are now forced to call our own. The trees, which had once been green with life, are now dull, drained of color as if an illness has taken over. The grass is now dry and yellow, like the winter season had come early this year. In the distance, I could hear car alarms going off and people honking at each other. Further down the hill, cars collide together to form a massive build-up of at least 20 vehicles with a raging fire caused by the spilt gasoline. I look at Haris with tears threatening to spill from my eyes, "How are we gonna get home?" "I don't know," he truthfully answers while gripping my hand. I knew a war was eventually going to happen, but I never pictured it coming so soon. --- Cover by @divinare HIGHEST RANKING: #60

Four intrepid explorers...no, not quite...adventurers...no, wrong again... Sorry. The Earth blows up. Only four people knew about it. This is their story. _____________________________________ Huge, big, enormous thanks to @writtenbyjkgomes for this amazing new cover!

The write-up covers challenges faced by young African girls. The likes of child marriages, trafficking and forced labor. Thus bringing us to making Africa seem like one nation (United State of Africa), whilst countries in Africa were addressed as regions, all under one president. This is to help lay emphasis on the fact that those challenges are not only particular to just one country but the whole of Africa. We also picked Amina - the major character that represents everyone of those young girls out there dying in silence.

Fleeting blips on the narrative radar.

This is a writing challenge as much as it is a story. I am trying to write a 300-words-a-day story, and publishing each 'episode' daily. I am working on the honour system of not preparing any episodes ahead of time, and just enjoying where it's going. The Space Between is the story of a man who's lost everything, and a woman who's trying to save the world. I have been publishing the episodes on my blog for a week-and-a-half, so there will be an initial surge of episodes, but then Wattpad will be caught up and will go to the daily schedule. Thanks for reading!

Ten very short science fiction stories by Deborah Walker. Now a featured collection on Wattpad. First Foot: What will the New Year bring when you're a very long way from home?

Things have changed since Kyle Donovan was a kid. When you happen to be a famous rockstar, what you ate for breakfast has already been broadcast to the world before you've even had a chance to digest it. The hashtag gangs own Twitter and the fans have all the power. And now, unfortunately for Kyle he's trapped in a lift with one and the lights have gone out. I'm your biggest fan.......

Princess Fawn is captured. Warrior Jones is also a prisoner. Their only hope is Rogue. Maybe he can get them out of the Ziggurat prisons? Maybe not.

People with bipolar disorder often hide the disease, afraid of being misunderstood. I want to share a story that might help people to reveal this part of who we are. Let's see what you think.
