fictionmysterysci-fiserenityshortstory
This is a compilation of short stories, each centering on a different principle for improving one's life. Often times I hear a good quote or lesson and wish I could read a story that illustrated them. With the new age of instant gratification, I have chosen to write stories that are very short and get to the point quickly. By providing 3-4 minute reads with each story, the reader is rewarded quickly without having to invest hours or days into a story in order to finally start digging at its central theme.

Post-apocalyptic worlds, multiverses, and modern-day society are explored in these stories among many other established universes. Some of the tales are revealed to be dreams, while others are based off of real events. Achieving Serenity delivers heart-warming, shocking, sad and hilarious content.

A Big Book of Short Stories by WGHTheKing
10 parts Ongoing Mature
A collection of my ideas. While most could have been cared for and nurtured until they grew into fully fledged books, they have only matured halfway, creating a efficient way to get stuck in your head. I'll also post short stories that I may or may not try turning into novels. From "The Kid is Hot Tonight," a story about such topics as high school parties and domestic abuse. To "Just Another Nightmare," a story about a kind of hell you might never have thought of. This collection will likely make you question if something is wrong with me. Spoiler alert; there is. It will also show you the farthest reaches of the world and the furthest horrors that I can write about. If you want an update on how the next story is coming along, you can ask me however you want. Seriously I'm so so lonely...

***A Wattpad Featured Collection of Short Sci-Fi Stories*** Strange sentinels, forgotten Gods, regenerated aliens, frozen predators, tele- kinetic chess sets - all this and more in this collection of short SciFi stories. Each tale carries a devilish little twist at its end. Like a box of chocolates some are sweet ,some sour and some dark. All perhaps little allegories on the vagaries of human nature... From Readers on various stories- "WOW! I know its my second comment but it's the forth time I have visited it." "It's very sad to see this end, all be it an extraordinary end." "Bravo for such an uplifting, optimistic Finale" "This was awesome! I thoroughly enjoyed it, didn't want it to end." "Great twist, from a sinister beginning to a cheerful ending. It echoes the style of HG Wells." "Dude... just holy... !"

This is a collection of short stories based in a futuristic world, as I wanted to try out something new. It's a mix of fantasy and sci-fi and I have no clue where this is going, for I am just improvising along the way depending on the images I get.

Voyage of the Star Killer by lasce_cale
32 parts Complete Mature
Space Opera This is the voyage of the StarKiller, a ship of over 5000 lives. Exploration, battles, love, military.... Feedback welcome! Should I break each chapter into episodes and expand on them (essentially, each chapter would become its own book)? With everything going on in 2020, I wanted to portray my own feelings and hurt over the racism, the segregation, the spiritual, emotional, and mental attacks, as well as the physical harm we are causing our fellow man (humanity/mankind/personhood). I began writing this book in 2017. I dreamt it in 2018. I fleshed it out in 2019. And here we are, more than halfway through 2020, and I'm finally putting it out there. TRIGGER WARNING: Briefly discusses instances of abuse, sexual assault, rape, bullying, stalking, etc. Read with forewarning.
