Disaster Zone
Something bad is happening in the small, lonely town of Las Cactuas, Arizona. Which is unusual. Usually, nothing is happening at all. Maybe it's the stranger in town that has everyone on edge. The one with the child's smile and the bullet in his head. Maybe it's the crazy hill woman, who has started talking to beer cans now. Maybe it's just that Bart Donovan's gotten divorced, and has turned his attention to zombie conspiracies. Or maybe, just maybe, it's about to get much worse than that. In the first five chapters to this existential satire, welcome yourself to the desert. Things are looking down.Complete
World Wall 3
In the near future, Mr. Donald J. Trump is the President of the United States of America, and there have been some radical changes. Some for the better, and some for the worse. Some are just plain weird. Most notably, however, a giant wall exists at the border of Mexico and the U.S. to stop illegal immigration in Trump's ideology. That's all great, but when Ramon Juarez, a Mexican-American man who immigrated to America years before is caught in the middle of a family crisis that presents certain legal problems in this new, outlandish world, he'll have to break some laws and team up with a couple of dorks to save the day. Inspired by the Trump Craze of the recent months, this is a political comedy, intended to be as uncompromisingly funny as humanly possible. I'm in ninth grade and, at 33 pages long, this is my first story ever. I originally wrote it for the holidays late last year on Google Docs, but my family, friends, and peers loved it, so I figured I'd share it online. Enjoy! NOTICE: This story is labeled as not mature, but it does contain a few suggestive references and mild expletives, so make of it what you may.Complete
