During World War I, Captain Everett Monterose, a disillusioned schoolteacher with a haunted past from Malad, Idaho, wants a chance at happiness instead of continually being dished out of misery.

But Everett soon learns happiness is not a commodity to barter for with good deeds, and there is no escape from the many forms of misery.Complete
Machinarum Magnum Bellum
My darkest novel yet... "The clock ticks, time stops. And then..." This novel takes a deep dive into what the world would have been like if the (now switched) sides of the Great War-Germany, the Ottoman Empire, Bulgaria, and Austria-Hungary-had fought the now central powers such as the United States, Great Britain, Imperial Russia, France, Italy, and Japan. As the battles hit hard and heavy, major casualties were reported in mass amounts, disease ran rampant across the trench country, and psychological and biological warfare was implemented. Adieu. UPDATE #01/1/2025: Published new chapters, book is complete yet chapters are to be published periodically. Chapter 4-5 needs revision still.![Into The Trenches: A World War I Journal [2019]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/196405621-256-k421239.jpg)
Into The Trenches: A World War I Journal [2019]
It is 1914, and Henry Anderson is watching the world descend into war. Like many young men at the time, he is fascinated by the idea of warfare and glory. Henry enlists in the military against his parents' wishes and throws himself into the life of a British soldier in Flanders. But it is far from what he expects: Henry's fantasies of righteous battle fade into the grim reality of gruesome death and shell-shock. He and his fellow soldier Jacob must help each other survive the cruel trenches, but it is no longer certain that either of them will return to England alive. Told in journal entries and letters from Henry's sister Elizabeth, this reveals the realities and horrors of World War I, on the battlefield and in the homefront. I wrote this for a history project while studying WWI and got way too involved in it, so here you are. WARNINGS: gun/bomb/gas-related violence, war descriptions, graphic death, suicide attempt. I will mark specific chapters with warnings and give summaries of those chapters on the following one. These may not be complete, so if a chapter is not marked and should be, please comment to let me know. Written in 2019 (age 15).Complete
