Kurt Williams has spent the last twenty years as a Libertarian refugee from a collapsing society. On his return to civilization, what he finds is nothing short of devastating. In an America where big government has run amok and nearly everything is outlawed, will his defiance and courage be enough to restore sanity?
This is a short story, in the dystopian / political genre. Readers will be left wondering if it was meant to be satire, or if it’s really not that far-fetched after all.

The Blurt of Richard Davies
A warning from a nightmare future. Ten years after the UK fragmented, the emergency mandate of the Consensus goverment is coming to an end. At long last a General Election is due. World-weary journalist Richard Davies becomes reluctantly drawn into the aspiring National Renewal Party's campaign. But as long suppressed social tensions erupt on to the streets of a nation so much like - yet so different from - our own, he stumbles across a conspiracy aimed at the very heart of the relaunched democracy. With his options for doing the right thing in a world gone wrong narrowing and time running out, somehow Richard has to survive long enough to expose the greatest scoop of his career. A 151,000 word novel written between 2012-14. The 'future' I imagined has diverged from our current timeline, but many of the book's themes are still sadly only too relevant. For more information and a plot overview I recommend the companion Readers' Guide. https://www.wattpad.com/story/51378045-the-blurt-of-richard-davies-reading-guide This novel contains mature, unsettling, and dark themes. The Blurt was previously voluntarily listed as Mature, but if Wattpad won't play fair by their hiding works so listed from being seen by the general audience, I see no reason to abide by such a ridiculous policy. Just be aware of what it is you are getting into.Concluida

Hunter Clarington [One-Shot/Stories]
Last night, I binge-watched all of the Glee performances and now I'm obsessed with the Warblers, especially a character named Hunter Clarington. His performance of "Whistle" was just perfect. I was disappointed that there wasn't much written about this character, so I decided to create a collection of short stories and scenarios for fun.
The Cousin
Hunter walks in on Sebastian and his cousin 'having sex'. When huntbastian fight EVERYONE will feel the pain. And everyone will know will be suffering from it. EVERYONE. There is also Niff, Klaine, and Brittana. I have other characters that are mine. But don't own the glee characters. But if I did Sebastian would have a backstory. Warning Mention of sex Horny dudes Bullying (sorry) Slut shaming Odd people possession (idk how to explain it.) Just read Edit: Omg! 1k reads? Guys I wrote this out of pure boredom. And to me it's completely shitty. Yet you guys love it. Edit2: bitch 2k reads? Y'all need to calm down. It's not good, it's just entertaining. This story is also posted on Ao3 and FanFiction.Net. If found anywhere else please inform me.Concluida
The Guilty Ones 》Glee/Klaine ✓
What do a wealthy, studious boy and a poor, "troubled" teen have in common? They both have a knack for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Blaine Anderson had worked hard to build the walls around his sheltered life. He had achieved a line-up of A's, a leading position in Dalton Academy's hottest group, and was the son of one of the wealthiest families in Westerville, Ohio. Not even Kurt Hummel, the "almost-juvie", trouble-finding son of Lima's penniless repairman could knock them down. He's polite, he's successful, he's... everything Kurt isn't. But Blaine's curiosity peaks upon wondering what the real reason is for Kurt's enrollment in the prestigious private school. Consequences follow actions as Blaine slowly begins to unravel the truth about the dark new student. And it all leads up to the one night that could crumble his walls for good.
