This is basically just a written version of the 2016 game, "We Happy Few"
While going through some of my old Docs on Google, I found this from the days I was obsessed with the game, and decided to work on it a little more before publishing it here. I would love feedback and constructive criticism! And please, please, PLEASE, let me know if you want me to finish it! Thank you!
I do not own "We Happy Few" in any way. This is simply my written version of the events in the game. All rights go to Compulsion Games for this AMAZING work of art; the story-line is ALL THEIRS.

**Unedited** "She can't come to the phone right now. I'll be happy to take a message for you." My blood runs cold. "Where is she? What have you done to her?" He doesn't say anything and I don't hear her. I start to panic. "Nothing, yet." "If you touch her-" "What Luke?!" He cuts me off. I bite my lip and pass my hand through my hair. "What could you possibly do to me that you haven't already done?!" My eyes starts to water. This lunatic would hurt her and I knew he would. "I beg you," I tell him. "I'll do anything you want. Just leave her be. I'll meet you wherever you want. Take me, please, just leave her out of this." I hear Jasmen crying. "See, but where would all the fun be in that? I could smack you around, take away your fancy cars, and you'd be fine. But if I do this-" I hear Jasmen screaming again. What the hell was he doing to her?

The Final Smile
Raymond hadn't taken five steps when the sack suddenly moved. He froze instantly and his skipping heart started running a hundred meter race. He tried to bring down his fear by blaming the wind for the occurrence but the sack moved again, very softly, and he knew that whatever is inside that sack is responsible for the movements. He discarded his fear and moved towards the sack. He looked around in utmost fear hoping that some of the scenes in Hollywood movies would not manifest; where police men would round up good Samaritans assuming them to be murderers. The environment was utterly dark and he could not see anything asides bushes. He reached down and pulled down the loose top of the sack and what manifested before him was the face of a human being. His heart almost stopped from fear as his prediction had become reality. Raymond's breathing was not coordinated at all and he had gone pale. The face was slightly covered with mud but the entire hair was immersed in it. From the hair, he knew it had to be a girl so he pulled the sack down to the waist line of the body with his shivering hands. He looked up and nearly died of fright when he met the eyes of the girl slightly open and in his direction. He started wondering if she was a spirit or a witch sent to kill him but then he saw how pale she looked and warded off his vague thought. He glimpsed a thick mass of blood on her stomach and winced internally. She started moving uncomfortably and seemed to be doing that unconsciously. He hurriedly pulled out the sack and threw it into the bush. Without even considering the risk of picking her up, he whisked her into his arms and made for his car. Raymond is already frustrated with his relationship with Tinuke his fiance but can't end it..... Not until he met Lucy in a sack. Read and follow the story of Lucy and Raymond as they find love and happiness. I love you guys.Complete
Beautiful Chaos
A lonely young women's life changes the very night of Murray Franklin's murder, on live television and it is a change that her heart will never forget. When she spots a man passed out and bloody, in an alley, that same night and even when she sees who it is, even though she hesitates for a moment, that doesn't stop her from trying to help him, despite him resisting it. Even though her mind wills against it, her fragile heart finds a lifeline in his. She soon comes to realize that this man is so much more than this "Joker" person that's all over the news, but a kind and beautiful soul that has suffered greatly, as has hers. She comes to find that he has a brilliant light that glows brightly inside of her very own darkness as the moon gleams in the night's sky, for even the moon would not shine so brightly, without the darkness that surrounds it. 🌙 A/N: I just want to say first, that this fic will never be abandoned! I promise. It's already done anyway but needs editing. I update every 7 to 10 days ♡Complete
Meet Me In Neverland-Peter Pan (OUAT Fanfic)
This is a OUAT fanfiction. Mostly for ages 14+, reader discretion advised. Blurb: After a fight with her father, Madison Jones is thrown into a world she knows nothing about. A world ruled by a certain lost boy who is eager to meet his first lost girl... "Thank you" I say, a weak smile drifting onto my still terrified face. I'm still not completely calmed down. I have extreme acrophobia (fear of heights). "You're welcome" answers the stranger, a sly grin crossing his face. "And...who are you?" I ask questioningly, seeing he is in no way planning on introducing himself. His sly grin turns into a full fledged smirk, which accents his cheek bones perfectly. He takes a few steps forward until he's only a few feet away. This makes my nerves flair up again. Then he says in the calmest, most unbothered voice: "Oh, I'm Peter. Peter Pan." His tone is unfazed and almost questioning. As if he's asking if I've heard of him, which he knows I have. Everyone's heard of the infamous Peter Pan. Enemies to Lovers/Forbidden Love/ Opposites Attract/ Good Girl x Bad Boy/ Beauty & Beast/ Kidnapping (Warning: I only own some of these characters, not all)Complete
Uneasy Comfort.
So um this story may be on hold as I have lost interest and have no idea how to continue the story... . (Disclaimer, there is NO smut/inappropriate things, just cute and wholesome~♡ but warning, there may be some dark themes throughout.) . . This story is basically a sonic the hedghog fanfic. It's set in a dystopian reality. im still figuring out everyone's stories even the main plot. But I just go along as my mind pleases. The main 'object' that stirs this story is a plant, named the agony night floret, that infects living things. It was created accidentally in a facility by money hungry mobian scientists and main boss, scarlett the fox. she is the main 'villian', surprsingly not eggman lol. the agony night floret infects mobians, putting them in these stages. first a purple blue rash, then disconfiguration then having the chance to rott and turn into creepy lifeless zombie ish creatures, not hostile but really contagious. They roam around isolated areas. Or, they have the small chance by transforming into these cannibalistic 'flesh-gorgers', coming in different types, 3-4 times bigger than hosts/Mobians size. sonic and his friends travel firstly through the thick, white, winter forests, named 'Nobelwoods' in Nahada, trying to find the facility of where it all happened, while unexpectedly coming across a familiar haze of a huge mossy concrete structure of shadows old-old home. Burnt. It will be told why in the story. I have posted drawings of the characters/unfamiliar characters to understand better of what their appearances looks. thankz for reading this far if u have :) (I'm rambling abt the lore lol) . . . . Cover art drawn by myself :)

"Goodbye Curly Head"
Through thick and thin the Law shall prevail. A new sense of purpose awaits us, children of light, in the land where it all began. The darkness in which we once cowered in fear, now curbed by the might of our endless light. Come, brothers, come, sisters. Let there be peace among the wicked, just as the Law dictates. Peace and certainty is all that you have ever longed for, little angel. A bright, stable future. A roof without holes above thy head. Acknowledgement and recognition of thy existence, feverish dreams of grandeur. Greed born from yearning, treacherous vines of rapacity taint your innocent soul. You seek a future that does not exist. Let thy fingers hold the fragile line between dream and nightmare. Let thy light navigate the path. Shall thee give in and falter, O' land of old, envelop his body in thy unending flame of chaos. Spit out nothing but an empty husk, the remnants of a smile once so bright. Shall thee prevail, O', Great Kazdel, I ask of you, the impossible - take mercy on the innocent. Don't let the radiance dim and don't let the mind turn bleak. Wake, young traveler. Bid thy farewells and burn thy bridges. It's time to say goodbye, curly head. Cross post from AO3. For a shorter and more on-point description, look no further! I had something silly written up before throwing it out in exchange for that wall of text upstairs. It's a little story "about a young, dumb sankta who's been dealt a bad hand at life, looking for his place in all this mess. The pointless search for a better future leads him far, far away from home, to a country forever ravaged by war and misery - Kazdel, the promised land where devils roam free and peace feels out of place." Anyway, it's quite lengthy, but hopefully enjoyable? Slide a comment if you want, I'll give you a tiny kiss on the forehead. Man, do I love comments. (Lastly, to point out, English is not my native language, but I don't think it'll be much of an issue ;3)Complete
