The History of the Universe
The year is 4343 and ten-year-old Maximus James is off on an intergalactic trip with his family. With him, Maximus holds close a copy of his favorite book: "The History of the Universe", a nearly infinite source of information (and also his textbook). However, when the family vacation goes awry, forcing Maximus and his family to land on an unknown planet, they make a discovery they never knew existed. AUTHOR'S NOTE This is the full novella in its entirety, free to read. I wrote this back when I was in high school and self-published. It's not a bestseller by any means and my writing and perspective has strengthened exponentially since its initial release. When you read this, read knowing that this doesn't exactly represent me and my skills as an author. There's another novel coming for that soon. Enjoy! If you like the story, consider buying it in paperback on Amazon!Complete
The Island
"This is The Island, a prison designed for minors like me- too young to be executed, too old to be reformed, and too much of a stain on humanity to let exist. It was 'the answer' to the growing crime rate resulting from a world that was falling apart. The details evade me, but there is one thing I know. The water doesn't seem as scary as it did before." When Jordyn wakes up in the middle of a tropical forest in the mouth of a cat too big to be real, she decides this isn't how she wants to die. The Island has other plans, though. It was designed to kill her, and it will bring out every gun in the arsenal to do so. Her life becomes a game of survival from the mutant and venomous animals, severe temperature changes, and impossible weather scenarios that exist in this government manufactured prison. The twist? She has no idea who she is, where she came from, or why she committed first-degree arson. In this mixture of "The Hunger Games" and "Maze Runner", Jordyn has to unravel the truth before nature kills her- or die not knowing.
