de·pres·sion /dəˈpreSH(ə)n/ Noun feelings of severe despondency and dejection. ///// America does very well in hiding his depression from the other nations, using his hero persona to mask the real him. The mess he was and what an utter failure he felt like. The mask begins to slip, revealing a tiny bit of the person he tries so hard to forget. When the other nations take notice, they start to suspect that their superpower isn't as happy as he seems. ... Book 1 of the Mask series (Book 2 being made)

America has never had a personification, however in a last-ditch effort, the countries of the world form a school-based in America. The International School for the World Congress opened a bit away from NYC in the less populated area of the state. The Asian nations and Russia selected 100 possible candidates and invite each of them to the school under the pretenses they were gonna be chosen to represent America in the World Congress. The World Congress was a name put on the nation's meetings by funnily enough the Americans to hide its true nature. It was quite successful and many people didn't look into it. Some were curious though. One of these candidates is Alfred F. Jones. The boy is completely emotionless and his body seems almost frail from the lack of self-care. He didn't care to go to this school yet, he still found himself at the school. Based on a one-shot I wrote.

The G8 Nations took a relaxing trip provided by America to try and improve relationships with everyone. But, nothings working. Can he confide in a strange ally? (Credit to the artist who created the beautiful picture!)

After the whole secrets incident, the crowd of nations decided then and there that they want to meet America's children. Of course, Russia and the other knowing nations allow it. But that's because they want them to know Alfred's homelife is not simply blissful Heaven, but also chaotic Hell. This is an Epilogue to "Alfred's Book of Secrets" so I suggest reading that one first!

When strange aliens abduct some of the nations, they are then tested on their worth. It appears some species felt that humans were inferior, and so brought the nations to their ship to see if that was true. It falls on them to assure their planet doesn't get obliterated from the alien's laser. The nations are given an opportunity to show the aliens they belong in the universe. But one nation proves too talented amongst his peers, and the aliens give him a choice. Either he dies with his planet, or he goes with them and the planet is saved. What will the HERO do?

Now that Alfred is pregnant he has to live with it. He soon comes to find that being pregnant has it's ups and downs, just like anything else. You have shopping to do, a room to set up, hormones to battle, and all the pain that comes with. Being pregnant really is more complicated then anyone lets on. But things soon become more complicated then he really wanted to deal with. Especially when a couple of nations open their big mouths. Book 4 of Benith The Surface series.

After Thanksgiving Alfred notices that his nusasia, weird eating habits, and mood swings continue despite the fact that he has officially banned England from his life. He and Mattie talk and soon come to an interesting, and unexpected, conclusion. Both are ecstatic by what they find. The only question is: How will Ivan react? Sequel to Seven Days of Thanksgiving. Book three to Beneath the Surface.

We continue our story from Beneath the Surface. Our dearest Alfred has one week to get as much family time in with his brother Mattie, new big sisters Katyusha and Natalia, and his lover Ivan, all three of whom know about his little problem. He has been getting better with the help of his new family. Every day he wakes up and tries to see the best side of life. But how well will he hold up when two unexpected, and uninvited, guest show up? Book 2 of the Benith The Surface series.

In an attempt to get the two bickering countries to get along, Alfred and Ivan must spend one month together in one of Alfreds homes. In a house set back into the woods, these two countries are going to grow closer together and learn more about eachother then anyone else has before. Even a few things that they never wanted the other to find out. *Warning* Depressed America. Suicidal thoughts. Suicide attempt. Vulgar language. Maybe smut? We'll have to see where this goes.

I wrote this story when I was in middle school and now that I have grown up a bit I just feel like this story isn't a good fit. It isn't something I would want to read or even write. Instead, I am re-writing it, hopefully, to be better, in a book called "Centuries of Secrets". The plot is slightly different and the characters are slightly different because I am also a slightly different writer than back then. I'm not ashamed of this story and I think it might be fun to read. Just remember that it cuts off in the middle so don't enjoy it too much. Some of the countries found a book during a meeting. Little did they know that it would cause so much pain, and we aren't talking about paper cuts, but something much worse. "It has been a very exhausting meeting. Everyone has been quieter than usual, and there hasn't been one fight, which is unheard of. Even when you look over to America you can sense that he has pretty much given up on this meeting too. "Alright then," Germany said, surprising many personifications by how quiet his voice was. "Meeting over. Unless anyone has anything else to add." Italy's hand shot up, and Germany added, "That isn't about pasta." Surprisingly Italy's hand was still in the air. Germany sighed, and said, "Yes Italy?" Italy jumped up from his chair and pulled out a giant book that looked almost as old as China." I only own the story.
