    He left the band but the music never left him, there's nothing like going home to realise there are some things you can't walk away from.

    Writing is one of the best ways to unravel the chaos inside your mind. At least, it is for me. This is a collection of poems-some are drenched in sorrow, some are tangled in questions, and a few, just a few, might hold a flicker of hope. Okay, debatable. But err.

    When Aracely Noir thought about her tracking cermony, she thought about the ultimate control over her life being taken away. Who she would marry, if she would have kids, when she would die everything. What happens when a silver light changes her fate and possibly the fate of her whole star system. She now has to worry about running an entire populace instead of wondering if she would ever feel in control again. This is a story about the juxtaposition of having control versus being in control.

    This is a quirky little idea i had the other day whilst studying shakespearean text. The concept idea is basically to contradict the point if the sonnet - but still give it the poetic feel. I may turn this into a collection if it is liked! Enjoy! ------------------------------ Sorry it has been a while. And i am sorry for many more reasons, And grateful for so much more. Sorry, thank you, i love you all... Possibly- but most likely some.

    "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." It applies to emotions too. For every radiant, bright happy, there is an equally empty, dim sadness. One cannot exist without the other. How else could we tell the difference?

    Poems are an insight into the soul of the poet. It sheds light on the stories, pain, or longing of the individual and paves way for inspiration since it can spring out from anywhere but the most inspiring source is the one where anything bleak has the ability to illuminate even the darkest corner.

    Jason Colnier and Mia Merella leave a normal warrior's life in the fantasy version of Gaea, training from age four to age twenty-five. At the age of sixteen, their camp is mysteriously attacked by grotesque creatures that consume your flesh. They run away to an elven camp for refuge, and continue onward, only to face more horrors. On the other side, Quem WideEyes and Auroran Sowethdalis face equal horrors as both coincidental "teams" venture to the High City, to warn the Council of the coming dangers of the demons. Nothing can be expected in this world, so be careful.

    Stupid Samuel is a ten-year-old boy who has a penchant for being naked, reminiscent of "Emperor's New Clothes." The village he lives in is typical of a small town with crab mentality, where townsfolk are quick to jump to conclusions and vilify individuals who do not conform to social norms. "Stupid Samuel and Other Stories" is a literary collection of stories, mostly satirical, commenting on social, political and other issues. This book also contains Interrogative pieces that explore the human condition, including but not limited to, debilitating phobias, alternative reality, and cultural beliefs. ----- AWARDS under Short Story genre: 🥇1st Place, The Purple Ice Awards 2019 🥇1st Place, Writer's Choice Awards 2019 🥇1st Place, Creative Awards 2019|First Edition 🥇1st Place, Midnight Coffee Awards 2019 🥇1st Place, Soul Awards 2019 🥈 2nd Place, Magestic Awards 2019 🥉 3rd Place, The Carnation Awards 2019 🏅 Honourable Mention, The Sunflower Awards 2019 🏅 Honourable Mention, Magestic Wings Awards 2019 🏅 Most Surprising, Acheron Awards 2019 ----- Date Published: 05.13.2019 Status: Ongoing ------
