This is an alternate history short story set in a world I have created. I have some other stories written, as well as a novel, set in the same world.

Alternate History is a subset of science fiction. It is typically not about the future but about a profoundly different past or present. 

The main difference in the world I have created  is that the Neanderthals have not gone extinct. They are known as Ancients. (We are known as Newcomers.)  Instead of running away from us, or trying to fight us, they decided to help us. Especially, they helped us increase our psychic powers. This has had a profound effect on our history, which I flesh out in my novel and short stories.

In this story, a young man, Tadeu, has a favorite horse, Branca. Branca can think, and can communicate mentally. She especially  enjoys it when Tadeu reads juicy novels set in Medieval times. Their life is upended by a terrible natural disaster and the equally terrible reaction to it by the survivors of the disaster.

If you enjoyed this, I would love to read your comments.

Trapped. Transformed. Forced to Fight. A group of strangers from the 21st century wake up naked on the shores of an alien world-a place where the sky burns purple at night and survival demands more than modern knowledge. Stripped of everything but their instincts, they must forge alliances, master primitive living and confront a land teeming with rival tribes and brutal secrets that defy logic. From captives to warriors, from outcasts to legends. Ordinary people find themselves in an ancient age. With no memory of how they arrived, these survivors must adapt fast. The dense forests hide hostile natives. When the war erupts, they'll face a choice: to be its executioners-or its casualties. Survival is just the beginning. The Wooden Squad is a heart-pounding fusion of survival epic and gritty fantasy, where wooden weapons clash against steel ambition, loyalty battles betrayal, and ordinary humans evolve into something extraordinary. An epic tale of survival, war, and strategy. Follow Victor and his fractured band as they carve their name into a world that wants them enslaved-or dead. Dive into a sprawling saga (estimated completion 220k+ words) of primal battles, cunning strategy, and the raw will to survive. Imagine Game of Thrones meets The Hunger Games, with a twist of mythic darkness. Perfect for fans of Gladiator, Dune, Berserk, The Witcher. 📍 New episodes Weekly!

In the aftermath of a devastating Third World War that has left civilization on the brink of collapse, the remnants of the world's nations have reformed into new power blocs in a desperate bid to control the dwindling resources that are key to their survival. From the ashes of the old world order rise the Russian-Chinese Empire, the United African Association, the United North America, the United South America, and a coalition of European nations. In a radical decision to determine control over the planet's scarce resources, these emerging powers agree to a high-stakes battle royale, a brutal contest where only the strongest nation will secure the means for its people's survival. Enter Ethan, Sinn, Bruce, Ahmik, Carly, Riley, and others-a diverse group of individuals from different backgrounds and nations, each with their own unique abilities and virtues. They find themselves thrust together in the midst of this global conflict, not just as representatives of their countries, but as reluctant warriors battling for their own survival and the future of their people. As the story unfolds, we journey with this band of unlikely heroes through trials of redemption, episodes of profound pain, and moments of enlightenment. Their experiences offer a window into the complexities and nuances of a world torn asunder, where moral certainties are blurred and the fight for survival often comes at great personal cost. Through their eyes, we explore the depths of human resilience and the bonds that form in the face of adversity. Their struggles are a microcosm of the larger battle raging across the globe-a battle not only for control of physical resources but for the soul of humanity itself.

In this world, Canada is spelled Kanada. This country is made of fifty islands and five keys. The keys are used as animal preserves. Everybody living on the islands has access to a bicycle. One could say that this version of Canada is a paradise. That would depend on who would answer that question. Especially if you ask antagonistic Leo Xenos. His father isn't at home a lot because he is a sailor. His brothers torment him and his mother only ignores him. Though his life just got a change. It all begins with a new EA teacher; Mrs. Darkblood. From that encounter, Leo is going to encounter many scary things. From undead fish to underwater monsters, and anything spooky from the islands and the depths. In addition, Leo has obtained a new gift. Though this gift does come with a creepy catch! Will Leo manage his new gift, or will the dark price take control of him forever?
