Have you ever wondered why things are the way they are?  Is society really getting anywhere?  Are we bettering ourselves and the places we call home? 
 
This is a story about us, a story that isn't being told, a story that needs no attention except for the attention you want to give it.  I'm no expert in anything.  I have been learning about different things throughout my life and have yet to master anything.  I'm your typical person; I have a wife and two kids, a dog, a cat, and live in a house in a small community in BC.  I was raised on the Prairies and understand the value of hard work.  I have studied business, economics, commodity trading, carpentry, and other functions within our society, all which have led me to write this story, the story of a burning son.
 
So what is The Burning Son all about?
 
It's a quest to change the way we perceive our global society, and an effort to change the way we look at our history and our future. 
 
Our society has operated efficiently and progressively for centuries. 
 
It's about the stories that exist, it's about the technologies that exist, it's about our world, our planet, our force, and our time.

(Based off of the Year Zero Album by Nine Inch Nails- Similar concepts are used in this story, but this story is a creation of my own, but building upon the foundation of Year Zero... All Credit goes to Trent Reznor) (Also some of the characters and concepts included are from story projects I have long since cancelled, to be given another shot here) (Warning: This story is very dark and graphic, and will probably go into darker territories than most of my stories have covered) It's been a few years since Year Zero... When it all started... When All hell broke loose on this godforsaken planet... Since America decided freewill was nothin more than a passing Thought... Any American that wasn't a Bible-Thumping Fundamentalist Christian was to be put down by declaration of the president... They have eyes everywhere.... The last remaining country and they're ruthless... The scale of their reach expanding... Mexico and Canada?... Heh... Folded under pressure... It's all the great dictatorship of the United States Of America Now.... For those that scamper off to other countries, they're nothing but remnants of a long since ended war... Started by... You guessed it... The USA... No real country remains besides them... Whatever the rest of these plots of land used to be... Whatever... Countries used to remain... Heh... Laid to ruin in the wake of Year Zero... Now used as free territory where anyone scampers too... The peddling of drugs and sex workers are all one can find out here anymore.... With everything cracking at the seams... And on top of it all... This mysterious entity... The Presence seems to be lurking in the back of everyone's mind... What chances does mankind have anymore?... With this... This destruction... This cruelty... What hope does the common man have anymore?...... Guess we just do what we can... Survive....
I am a Wild Rose by LavenderBlack444
4 parts Complete Mature
"I am a wild rose. I am free. I do not need your permission to grow. To bloom, to be the person I was always meant to be." In Martha's world, an alternative earth, the people follow the rules of 'The Grandmothers'. When you turn twenty five you are shelved, no longer allowed to date and forbidden from marrying. The earth is still recovering from the third world war. Resources are controlled by the Elites and the environment is polluted and many countries are damaged beyond repair. The population that survived the war has been ravaged by chemical weapons. The genders are out of balance. For over sixty years the birth rate of female babies has far outweighed their male counterparts. Women are resigned to the knowledge that if they are not married by the time they are twenty five that they never will be. They have limited choices once they are shelved. Martha chooses to go against the wishes of her family. She will spend the rest of her life taking care of her widowed Father as opposed to working and giving all her money to her younger female cousins to supplement their dowry. Fate and time has a different plan. Martha is drawn into a battle between The 19 and The Wild Roses. Two different factions each wanting to use and twist Martha for their own ambitions. Will Martha be able to bloom and change the world for the better or will she crushed? ....This story is a work in progress, it has themes and ideas that may change over time as the story develops and as I learn what you like and dislike about the novel. It hasn't been edited yet...
