I remember when it was the day, the day where history is to be written. I walked on the rigged steel platform and saw a crowd of people applauding for every step I took, taking me closer to the substantial Apollo 11 rocket.

Someone I used to Know
"Belle. I'm so sorry...," He said with sympathy. "Sure. Whatever," I managed before bursting into tears. He tried to hold me, to comfort me. I pulled away in disgust. "Leave me alone!," I shouted, "just leave me alone..." I would never forget this moment. How sad he looked, how mad I was. I had just made the biggest mistake, and there was no going back. Belle had a perfect life. The perfect boyfriend (Ben), the perfect friends (Libby), the perfect grades. She was a model, and everyone seemed to adore her. And then her boyfriend was no longer her boyfriend. Her friends no longer her friends, her grades falling apart. Belle must now put her life back together, but she can't find out where to start. Worst of all she finds out she isn't the "main character" anymore... she's a background setting stage for drama character. But if she isn't then who is going to take center stage of a world that seems like is coming close to it's end... (And yes the ending of the book is just random, because you never know when life will just end)... *_*_*_*_*_*I hope all of you enjoy my book! Stay with me, its a long ride. -2dayiFeelLikeWritingComplete

She's just gotten sort of bored with it, always feeling like there's something else she needs... Until she meets... Noah. She never expected to meet someone like him much less feel the sparks that ignite as soon as they meet eyes.... Can she just ignore feelings like that? Feelings she never felt before, not even from her own boyfriend. Noah won't be able to resist though, he has to do something about it... about her. Will she give in to the feelings taking over her? ---------- Excerpt: "Oh, you've been picturing me naked have you?" She asked sort of becoming amused now. Shit do I sound like a pervert? "No that's not what I mean...I just..." I tried to laugh it off hoping she wouldn't think I was a douche. She glanced inside through the sliding doors to see what looked like the girl she was dancing with earlier looking for her. When she turned back to look at me she had a look in her eyes that while I didn't know what it meant was still incredibly sexy. "Damn that's too bad... because I have been thinking about you naked since I ran into you this morning." She said confidently standing up and walking past me towards the house but not before brushing her hand across my leg. I watched her in awe as she walked back inside swinging her hips making my eyes go straight towards her ass. I sat there for a few minutes confused but extremely turned on... I couldn't lie I was definitely picturing her naked now.Complete

WHO THE HELL ARE WE? is a series of short books and videos describing the evolution of civilization. Almost everyone on the planet is five times wealthier than their ancestors only 50 years ago. This astonishing phenomenon has also improved health, education, and longevity. The cause; an explosive growth in ideas and productivity. It began when we learned to control fire, evolved articulate speech and stumbled onto the way to create infinite wealth; free trade. The discovery of agriculture made us richer but we also learned how to destroy wealth. Great civilization grew up but then disappeared leaving only incredible ruins and ideas. Later books detail some of the ideas and developments that increased the average life span from about 40 years to more than 80 and the average world income from less than $3 to more than $33 per person per day (and to $140 per day in some countries).Complete

The End of Eden (Water Worlds 1)
Growing up in North Korea, in the days before her Father destroyed the world, Young Moon was happy. At least she thought she was, but that was so long ago and she was so very young. Her Father would grow excited when he told her impossible tales of the Great Neighbor, China, with dozens of astronauts in orbit and on the Moon. There was a small base on Mars, too, being built by robots, and even bigger stations -- the ring cities -- were planned. Young Moon used to get uncomfortable and wished he would lower his voice. Their walls were thin in Wonsan and school taught her that this kind of talk was treason. Teacher said the Dear Leader would know if you didn't pay proper respect to the glories of the Homeland, and he could get very cross with you if he found out. Every screen was two-way and you never knew if someone was watching. All she wanted was to be left alone to talk to the visions in her drawings -- visions that came to warn her of impending danger. But a chance word spoken by an angry classmate would force Young Moon's family to flee North Korea for China, where she would witness her father set in motion a world-shaking disaster of epic proportions. THE END OF EDEN is the first book in the Water Worlds™ sci-fi adventure series, chronicling the terraforming of the inner worlds of the Solar System as seen through the eyes of generations of young women.

Read it at your own risk. I implore that you not dawdle on my writing so much (if you really are that insane and have decided to read it anyway), it has changed so much in nearly a year. If you are an impressionable reader and/or future writer in the making, read well-written works of art. There are so many out there. This isn't one of them.Complete
