Forget your troubles, prepare your payment, and welcome to The White Top Circus!
~*~
Twenty years after the East continents declared nuclear war to the West, the world regressed to their old patterns. Survival was key. People grew hungry. People grew desperate.
Yet in this life of darkness, despair and hunger - for a small fee The White Top can take it all away!
A show with the greatest wonders of man, a show with the greatest beauty of woman, and the only show with the infamous "Nightingale".
"Nightingale" has been the most loved featured show of The White Top. Word of her voice echoed through the corners of the earth, her face brought peace of mind to many, and her affect so powerful some describe it as magical.
Yet, behind the curtains a different story emerges.
So what becomes of the "Nightingale" when the show reaches it's finale? What becomes of the man who seeks to keep her? And what becomes of the man who yearns to free her?

*please I wrote this story at 16/17. I'm 28 and I crying because I would rewrite this in a heartbeat especially coz I sound crazy* so read with caution* I fell in love. I fell in love with a fairytale. Oh Yes I did. You know that one story that gives every little girl hope out there that good things comes to those who wait even in rare but simple gems like a glass slipper. This hope carried me far and beyond. It's a fairytale that is relatable to any prospect of life. There will be your evil stepmother and evil stepsisters, your fairy godmother and your one true prince. It is a fairytale that understands the element of surprise: That what we seek can sometimes appear right in front of us without knocking on our doors. Most especially, it's a fairytale that understand the importance of love: A true prince may not come in shape of perfection but regardless of the imperfections and flaws, he would still remain perfect in your eyes. Regardless of its flaws, Africa was my father and Nigeria was my prince. Africa was my birthplace, born to the greatest warriors on the planet: Shaka Zulu, Nelson Mandela, Cleopatra, Kofi Annan even Didier Drogba the famous footballer. Most especially it was my home. It was the place I learnt to walk, talk, run and now 200000 feet above the ground I look down at my home. Little lights flickering everywhere like fireflies contrasting with the dark night. Maybe one day I will come back to my father. My prince. My Ile.Complete

❝my freedom was at the cost of my sanity❞ how far would you go to earn your freedom, if it meant stripping away your happiness and losing your mind. freedom does not mean liberating yourself, spreading your wings, and taking flight away from this big, bad world. nor does freedom necessarily mean freeing yourself, sometimes it means to be trapped inside your own damn mind. p r o g r e s s started; 25th feb 2018 28th March 2018 highest; #56 in poetry c o m m e n t s "I just /devoured/ this book.

Into The Unknown
After a catastrophic war and a deadly virus that plagued the world, humanity is left divided, hunting each other down and murdering for vengeance... Or purely for fun. With humanity on the brink of extinction, and another war on the rise, a survivor is revived, given a chance to maybe, just maybe, save the world. ...And all she can remember is her name. ______________________________________ There is a name for those who mutated to survive the virus. I'm not talking about the immune, who can flush the disease straight from their system. I'm talking about The Freaks. If you listen to the rumours, after the Deathwave they started appearing from the wastes, people with no soul or conscience, although once human they now could be described as monsters. You'd think I'd agree, seeing as I ran away from them. But from where I stand, it's Humans who are the monsters.Complete
A Witch Fit to be a Queen- {COMPLETED} A Paranormal Novel (Book 1 of 3)
***Now featured on Wattpad Multicultural Vampire Werewolf & Paranormal Reading List*** Magic grew in the wombs of women. This had been suspected for quite some time, since how can a being create another being? It was magical. After occult beings along with other oppressed groups earned their freedom from a General who became a Queen, their Matriarch, let this be known: In the image of the Goddess they were made. Women were the creators of creation and pure power flowed through their veins. But not all believed this concept and stuck to their old ways. They became known as Mundanes. Those whose eyes opened and embraced their birthright became witches, fairies, nymphs, and mermaids. But this is not a story about these magical creatures. Not at all, is a story about a young girl on the brisk of adulthood, with hardly any magic at all, who defied everyone and became Queen.

Worlds Apart [COMPLETE]
Nothing could compare to the way her gaze made me feel. The flames licking my skin and the raging fire in my veins was way more bearable. The moment our eyes connected, it was like my body found a new kind of flame. The kind that only she was able to draw from me. I've never felt my body being set ablaze like this before. One day here in this new town and I was already losing my mind over my new neighbour. A really pretty, hot neighbour. Her long, wavy platinum blonde hair, pale skin and icy blue eyes that seemed to stare depths into my soul and keep me frozen in place. I couldn't seem to leave. Her pink lips were parted slightly as she tried to catch her breath. I swallowed. One step forward and I could hold her. One tilt of my head and I could kiss her lips. If only I could have a taste of those lips- I have to get out of here. I turned and left, my heart nearly overpowering my brain to stop and go back to her. Only one thought kept me going. Who could ever love a monster? -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ Hey guys! I'm back with a new story and I've had this idea in my head for quite some time and I'm glad to finally be posting it! Firstly, I got inspiration for this book from a Korean drama called "Goblin" and it's one of the best dramas I've come across after so long. Secondly, no reuploading or copying or plagiarising or whatever it is that is illegal because I will slice your neck and leave you hanging to die :) Jk, maybe. Not really. Thirdly, please enjoy this book and leave comments! Sincerely, Janice GoldShaken *Created, Published & Completed in Year 2017* (Editing Complete ~2018)Complete
