Everybody is going to die. Everybody has a due date. We are all like the milk you see at the grocery store. We don't have persertatives to keep us from spoiling quick. We don't have any of that. 
	It's a damn shame. I'm actually jealous of the products that can last for so long without spoiling. 
	My due date is coming. I don't know when, but I feel it. 
	An afterlife? I seriously doubt I'll be going anywhere good after my date is up. I've done a bunch of terrible things. I'm going to do more terrible things. 
	I'm not going to judge the people in Heaven or Hell, though; I got friends in both places. 
	I've had plenty of brushes with death. I've lived, but am I really living? The only time I really feel alive is when I'm doing bad things or I'm so close to death that I can actually taste it. 
	It tastes good, too. It's unlike anything I've ever tasted. 
	Or maybe I'm misjudging something. Maybe it's not death that I'm sensing, but maybe a rebirth? Maybe it's her. 
	Maybe it's that woman that will make me feel alive again or maybe she's the one that will be the death of me. 
	However, it doesn't matter. 
	She is unlike anything that I've ever tasted.

The Karma Project by knikole_
48 parts Complete Mature
Today I want to die. Not because of anything in particular or specific, but just because the utter thought of ceasing to exist sounds devastatingly euphoric. To make the noise stop. To stop this stabbing pain in the lowest pit of my stomach that's causing a burning sensation that crawls all over my skin, making me want to peel it off. To stop the guilt that festers every time I take a breath-- an oxygen thief. To stop the constant urge to detonate over anything and everything that dares to love me because in all-- I could never deserve such an honor. Today I want to die. For the longest time, I thought I was just unlucky. That sometimes life doesn't work out for everyone, and for people like me; things just never get better. I had settled into the life of being unlucky, reveled in it, and found comfort in knowing that no matter what; I would just be categorically unlucky. That was until I realized luck had nothing to do with it. It's karma. It's the idea of what goes around comes around, and what goes up must come down. Didn't some philosopher speak to that once? However, it isn't my karma. Well it wasn't at first-- somewhere down the line after all my wrongdoing I'm sure it has switched to mine. But I am the poor soul stuck with my father's karmic retaliation. The karma that he deserves has been thrown against me as some sort of sick cosmic joke-- I'm sure he'd actually celebrate and feast on the fact that once again, he still gets to hurt me even from his grave. Too bad I killed him before he had the chance to see. *Book One in the Karma Duet. Book Two is now in progress, titled: The Karma Study*
Everyones Obsessed* by Cie1_5
7 parts Ongoing Mature
The past carries an unjust history. Immoral actions mark the present. The future holds untold consequences. Bad things happen to good people, and good people do bad things. | | || ||| ||||| |||||||| ||||||||||||| You, of all people, should understand the obsession. Whether it's the endless hours lost to a screen, the compulsion to scroll through forums, the need for that next high, the haunting grip of past trauma, the fixation on someone unattainable, the pursuit of a fleeting feeling, or even the inexplicable attachment to something as simple as frogs-obsession has woven itself into every corner of your life. •__ •_ •• •_• •_• • •••• / ••_ • •_• I have done terrible things because I let obsession take over me. It wasn't always that way. It started as a lie; it became true one day. I told myself I was in control and could stop anytime, but I only lied to myself. I was powerless. I never wanted to hurt anyone; I hurt him and myself. Now, I'm left with the wreckage of my choices. I wonder if there's any way to get things back to how they were before. Xgbs bqf zpv patfttfc xisg? To us, they are just another random person: the letters carved on the table, the artist of old graffiti, the person who also walked into the restroom, the reason the trash is full, or the garbage thrower on the side of the streets. But to them, they're the main fucking character in their own story, and each mark, item, digital trace, and photo they have makes a fragment of their existence. We may never know their face or name, but the traces they left remind us that everyone's lives intersect, creating a vast web of connections; unnoticed or not, they are never truly invisible.

Everything changed when they came out of hiding, terror spread across the world as people began to question if our presidents and our global leaders lied to us and weren't from the same race. The Beasts blended in amongst us as if we were the same, except humans didn't have the same predatory instincts and we couldn't change our forms like they could. Soon after we learnt that we weren't the only species people began going missing. Some were unlucky and taken as something that the Beasts called a Mate that one word made fear spread throughout my veins, I would rather sell my soul than have one of them mutts chain me to them. Six months went by before the government, that was un-tainted by this vile race began to take action into their own hands contacting other countries and militaries causing the great war to happen, sending both my parents off to fight for our rights. Only one of them came back, two months was the longest we lasted before we were overpowered by them. Six years of living in this dysfunctional environment and my hatred had never dwindled. Some people still believed in god and had faith in him, I didn't know what I believed in but I prayed like everyone else that I would get through another day without hearing the soul crushing word 'Mate'.

Dad's best friend secret baby

48 parts Complete Mature

I committed the ultimate betrayal. Instead of helping my best friend's daughter, I claimed her innocence and got her pregnant. After a few years I had gone back to visit my lifelong friend. By then, I had built my tech empire in NYC and was in search for a special-needs-nanny for my 3-year-old daughter suffering from selective mutism. My friend suggested his daughter, a childhood education graduate. The unspoken rule was obvious; keep my hands off his daughter. But then I laid eyes on her... She was the one whose legs were wrapped around me just the night before. And the one whose luscious body I had wildly devoured. She's half my age and every man's dirty fantasy. I tried keeping my distance, but she was like a wildfire consuming my self-control. And the only person to bring my daughter's smile and speech back. Now she is pregnant, and I will stop at nothing to claim her as mine, even if it means losing my best friend.
