The Rocket is the story of a middle-school lad named Harley who was frustrated about his family situation. The story takes place in the late 1950's in the US South. Harley never got the time and attention that he longed for from his Father. His younger brother looked a lot like his Dad. That annoyed Harley because he wanted to be like his Father but he knew he never could. The two boys and their parents lived a comfortable life in a pleasant home. They all had everything they needed and a lot that they wanted. But Harley suffered discontent continually, until the day when he started his new project, a model rocket inspired by the launch of Sputnik One, the first earth satellite, launched by the Russians in 1957. Harley's space-crazy project progressed until he started testing his rocket fuel, then things got complicated. Read the story to find out how things progressed and how it eventually turned out.All Rights Reserved

Earth's Fighter by arching_rock_story

Mike Jones lived with his parents with no child since he was at birth his whole life, happy. His whole life had been a burden as he had to keep his power a secret to everyone but his true loved ones who had found him in a destroyed alien spaceship in the middle of the wasteland. Mike thought that by his powers, he could do anything he want, but he was wrong - his real father, Jet Jour has revealed himself, and had given all his responsibility to his son Mike, originally Cos Jour. At the same time, Boar, who had his home with nothing but ashes, had himself forced to adapt on the same planet, with vengeance towards the one who had been responsible, but at the same time, he didn't want to destroy the land the same way, because he knew he would be no different if he did. Now Mike and Boar, together, have to fight for the sake of the people who are still alive, especially the people they cared about, even if it means sacrificing their own lives to do it!

My brother the 10 year old genius by RedSnow1997

We're about 4 years apart, he's only 10 years old and still the smartest person I know. I'm 14 years old, and starting my first year of high school. And may I just say, what a great way to start the year off by first having all the parents be abducted by aliens. Compared to the rest of our family it makes me feel stupid, but then compare me to our parents and my IQ goes from stupid to at least average. Our mom is pretty smart, my dad isn't that smart, and sounds like he really only cares about ducks. People make fun of him for being so smart, but I love him, most days anyways. He's my best friend and he says I'm the coolest big sister he's ever had, to be clear I'm the only sister he's ever had. He has one of those space HQs one of those bigger on the inside tiny on the outside, and invents all and everything. Including our dog, I'm allergic to anything that sheds, but have always wanted a pet, so he made me one himself. I just wish he'd ask me first before he tests his experiments on me. I don't own any of these characters

Angels | Ghosts Of The Past 2 [BoyxBoy] ✓ by Pinkrainbowcorn

"Why are you acting so weird?" "Well, you're kind of naked." I say matter-of-factly. "Nothing you haven't seen before." Sky says casually. I feel a blush rise to my cheeks. He does remember. Sky never talks about that time. "You remember." I mumble. "Chase, I can't hear you from all the way over there.." I walk into the bathroom feeling awkward and like I'm intruding on his privacy or something. But Sky just keeps on showering like nothing's going on. × × × Chase and Sky had sex. It happened two years ago on a whim. Sky (who's also the father of Chase's niece) seems to have forgotten all about it. Chase definitely hasn't.

Desperate for real connection Chase seeks it in the darkest of places.

Haven't I given enough? Given enough. by more_enough

"Kid you don't have to do this." I spin my head around, all the Avengers are behind me. It's like a photo... a perfect photo. Their stances match perfectly with the view and the sky. The golden hour light spills over the rooftop like a toppled glass of orange juice. "Friday told me where you are, your heart-rate. Peter, we can help." "No." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The story without the happy ending. TW: Suicide attempt Suicide Self-Harm Depression Anxiety Self hate. Begin the story at what Peter believed was the end of his life, and end it at what actually was.
