|| WINNER OF THE PUNKROMANCE SHORT STORY CONTEST || He pursues a solitary figure through the rainy London streets only to end up being blindsided several times over. Leandre Agard's biggest worries were navigating London during his after dark missions; NOT to loose his custom-designed field glasses; and most importantly, to ALWAYS return home before sunrise. That was, until he encountered her. °°°°° Word count - 1999 Published - 10.06.17

When skin and bone are stolen, darkness uses wings of flesh and lead. ******** Beneath the vibrant city of Mallinasport, awash in the pollution is Imus, a community as bleak as the futures of those who live there. With little food or water, it's all Aeris can do to make it day by day and keep the shop her father left her running. When the fabled circus returns, it brings a small reprieve from daily life. Or so it seems until Aeris is delivered a mysterious warning and a boy falls from the sky. Darkness haunts the night, taking people with it. Aeris finds herself captive in a twisted and barbaric ploy for power, in a world forgotten beneath the city. Enlisting the help of a fellow captive, they must plan their escape before Aeris is sent to the arena, or killed. The boy from the sky holds the key to saving her.

Wattpad is wattching. 60 issues ago, we invented a brand-new sub-genre: WattPunk. Imagine, if you will, that Wattpad--and writing--rules the world. Now we're doin' it again! Scary, huh?

This month, the Ooorah crew take on a sub-genre created right here on the hallowed pages of Wattpad. Drop by and read a veritable shedload of stories, check out this month's slightly different interviews and enter our monthly caption contest!

Judging Day is coming. You will be judged as Worthy or Unworthy. Until then, join me in my fight against the devil in the machine. I'm in the dungeon - I mean, the basement - of Wattpad, trying to make the world a better place for as long as I can. Bring chips, sass and shenanigans if you come! By the Clicking of Mechanical Tongues... ...Something Saucy This Way Comes

Inspired by @rskovach's DECAMERON 2.0, EPIC TALES FROM BEAUTIFUL MINDS is a sci-fi anthology. Spread across multiple sub-genres, EPIC TALES features short stories from Wattpad's best sci-fi writers.

Flying sharks? In the middle of the Bass Strait, the crew of an oil rig rescue a mysterious man. When the airborne killer- beasts arrive, there is no time for questions. *Punk Out: Wattpunk Contests and Prompt winner.

Dreampunk is a niche genre of speculative fiction that asks the question "Is this real?" and then follows up with "What does that even mean anyway?" Alice in Wonderland would be the prototypical example, but any anti-authoritarian investigation into the nature of dreams, reality, the self, and the universe might qualify. Examples abound in books, movies, and TV. Keep reading to see what I mean.

Left beaten, bloodied and bruised in a ditch somewhere, @MadMikeMarsbergen lost the Pot 1 Finals of SmackDown: The Second Coming to @torontojim (who later ended up winning the Grand Finals, too).

This will be the most challenging, diverse and awesome SmackDown yet, with lots of new twists. Have fun!
