Set in a trailer park in a small town in the USA, there lives me. My mom, my sister, and my brother. Then, there is my father. What I am about to tell you will be hard. You will read this, and you may lose faith in hope. I hope my story is one that will be able to gain hope. I want people to read my story and know there are thousands of us out there. I hope that with my story I can change the outcome of some other people's lives. This story is unsettling, there will be mature content in here. It is not for the faint of heart.

A Glimpse of Fiction by ElectricDreamCatcher

One-shots, short stories and contest entries are in here! It's a little insight to the fictional havoc in my head.

Unknown danger is coming and Mother Earth has to depend on Ava to warn her children so they can prevent the world from crumbling into dust. (Cover picture is from Google I own nothing.)

(Entry for @sciencefiction contest) It has been 20,500 years since we left. It was coming. So we prepared. The space cruiser departed Earth in search of a new hope, a new planet. Of course we failed. Countless worlds were surveyed, but not one could hold human life. So, now we are back. We are home. But this is not the planet we left.

I'm a dilittante poet, as you will plainly see. But I'm versed in the language of science, and I'm alarmed by what I see. Yes, planet Earth is in peril, and the day of reckoning is near. So, I have turned to poetry, to share with you what I see, from the backdrop of my science degree. ENJOY!!!

The world is truly depressing especially when the government is wanting you since the fact that you're able to return from the dead. Showing me everyone as I am looking to cause a lot of trouble and bring more people to the light of day.
