The Fall of Man
So much for an easy way to go. After thirty nine long years, each squandered day chained inexorably and uneventfully to the next, this is how it ends. How appropriate. Blinking back tears, Joanna shakes out another handful of pills into the palm of her hand... Environmental catastrophe, dismissed by many as myth or propaganda, is now an impending reality. Tides are rising and storms are brewing. Meanwhile, in a small-town suburban home, a small family is fraying at the seams, and on the brink of a collapse of their own. Following the suicide of his wife and imprisoned by grief, Arnold witnesses the inexorable downwards spiral of his neighbourhood on television, from the confines of his living room. Fifty years on, his son Noah is thrust into a dense, compact Britain he hardly recognizes, adrift in a society in the throes of transformation. Years later, the experiment falters and Nature threatens to take over entirely. Noah’s daughter Eve faces unimaginable consequences and her will to survive is tested to its limits... THE FALL OF MAN begins in the Britain of today. Three successive generations struggle to exist in a future rife with change. Their story chronicles a series of cataclysmic, global events, from the perspective of an all-too-human family. Two new chapters to be added each week...Complete
InuYasha × OC
When Elyanna goes to school, everything is normal, until her walk back home turns into a nightmare of a chase. She faints and finds herself in feudal Japan with no memory of how she got there or who she is. She later meets a half-demon who only wants trouble and power. This can't be good. (This sounds more interesting when you actually read it, lol. I will take parts and reference pieces of the anime, and in some of the first few chapters, you will see many similarities, but it branches out, I promise. Also, this is my first story. The more recent chapters are much better than the first few.) (I DO NOT OWN THE INUYASHA SERIES IN ANY WAY!!)
