America the Unknown (United States of America #3) by 37054ljH

2019 NEW YEAR SPECIAL! You know about America and her children, the United States of America. You know of their stories, their lives, their tribulations, their scars, and their various secrets...or so you'd like to think. Sometimes there are scars that can run so deep that even the victim can never know, sometimes events can cause people to rewrite their memories to save themselves from the pain of those painful recollections, and sometimes...it's best to never remember them. The family had lost a lot more than you think, a lot more than they would like to admit, and a lot more than their mother could handle. So, have you heard of the Failed Colonies? No? Then let's dive into the dark secrets that America has tried so hard to keep buried. *Rated M for suggestive themes, references of violence, sexual themes, and alcohol and drug references.* *Also, please be warned that this short story will contain sensitive subjects such as infant mortality, depression, and suicidal thoughts/ideations, which will be described in full detail and are not meant to be jokes, so please do not proceed if these themes are going to be a problem.

Fame Or Love 🎙 by Giftedchic

Jesus Christ, she is losing too much blood. We are losing her and the baby... ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My eyes continued to open and close as the doctor tried everything in his power to resuscitate me. I continued to stare at the hospital lights which flashed in my eyes. See I never thought I would fall for him. I never thought I would be here fighting for my life and I never thought I would lose my child. He was the last person I saw before taking what appeared to be my last and final moments. I never thought I would have to pick between fame- ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Suddenly he stopped moving when he heard what appeared to be footsteps following his last and final movement. In his last moments, he thought about me. I was his first true love. As he turned around he watched as the gun was aimed directly at his head. The man who stood before him didn't appear like any ordinary man. He gave him a sinister smile as he continued to look him straight in his eyes. Who are you he asked the person? Karma he replied. This is for what you did to them because of you he might not even survive. This is for picking love over--- The person's eyes widened as he prepared himself to eject each clip into his target's head. Within a couple of minutes, the gun went off. Blood splattered everywhere. All that remained was the victim's body with a gunshot wound to the head. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gifted: Or love but wait let's go back to when it all started... This is my written testimony to: --------- FA M E OR LOVE ----------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Warning ⚠️ : The storyline was geared towards a mature audience and concentrates on diversity and real-life issues that people endure while pursuing fame and love...

All the Colors of the Rainbow by voltron-boltron

Red. Orange. Yellow. Green. Blue. Purple. The colors of the rainbow. At birth, you are assigned a certain color and you can never change your color. That is until you meet your soulmate. No, your soulmate isn't the same color as you usually. Your soulmate can be any color really. They can even be colors that aren't in the rainbow. However, meeting your soulmate is embarrassing because everywhere your soulmate touches you changes to their color. This rule also applies whenever you are touched by someone sexually after you meet your soulmate. Wherever the unwanted person touches turns gray. Life is normal for Keith Kogane, until a certain someone transfers to his school.

You See Me by AJsympathy

"Is there anyone you can trust with you're life?" Boss had asked me. I thought hard. I had managed to tangle myself in a web of deceit, murder, greed, and violence. Was there anyone I could trust at all? There was one person. One person,who, in the midst of it all saw me for what I really was. A survivor. Only problem was that I had no idea where she was or if she was even alive.

Sins Of The Father's A Mafia Story 1 by Hazeldenise1986

We all know that the world isn't as black and white like everyone would make it seem there is plenty of color. Within that color is the law, rules, government, and politics that governs over everything to help keep crime rate down and world order but the world is still filled with violence, wickedness, drugs, sex, and murder. In the heart of it all is what society calls gangs and gangsters. Some would even call them The mafia, The Mexican Cartel, The Triads, Drug Lords, The Mob, The Bratva and The Drug kingpins. The two most powerful families of it all is the Costello and Gambino families they're number one in this organization they bring wealth, education, law, and many other powerful connection into the mafia world of crime, drugs, guns, sex trafficking, illegal gambling, illegal transportation of drugs and alcohol. Oh and let's not forget violence, crime, and murder. The two families have formed the largest most united unstoppable fold in a world of betrayal, lies, murder and deceit. The Costello and Gambino name is known in every country, state, and city around the world to make a enemy with them is like digging your own grave but with that being said I guess some other well known names is ready for war like the Lee, Hernandez, Corvin, Delun, Fletcher, Sokolov, and Corvinus mafia families even the new comers into this worldwide organization of organized crime the Boyd family wants their piece of the pie they will no longer sit in the shadows of the world top royal mafia families, the Costello's and Gambino's no not anymore especially with so many of these new mafia bosses fathers secrets coming to the surface putting the whole organization in jeopardy. This is bound to be one deadly rollercoaster ride for all these so called mafia bosses.

The Greylands: Modern Edition by SusanSkylark

A land of shadows, of mystery, of obfuscated Truth. Welcome to the Greylands, that strange world, within the bounds of Time, peopled by mortal men. We cannot see truly, only as through a glass, darkly. There are things that move and have their being completely beyond our ability to perceive them. There are things beyond our mortal ability to comprehend. There are hints and glimmers hidden within the body of revealed Truth, but there is much we do not know, cannot yet understand, and could never dare dream. These stories are mere fancy, with a seed of Truth at their core. They play with the ideas of mortality and Eternity, Time and things beyond it, and of course the epic battle of Good against Evil. Each stands alone, and though there are common themes, threads, names, and concepts, each story is an entity unto itself and should not be seen as occurring in the same world or mistaken for installments of a series. These are random musings, not Gospel Truth, and should not be taken as such. Joy, hope, and encouragement are hopefully a byproduct, but certainly not sound Theology. If you would know more of the true world beyond these Greylands, one must be a careful student of the Scriptures, not of silly stories such as these. While still fairytales, these stories are set in modern surroundings rather than the land of Faerie! Each story is unique unto itself, and doesn't reference any other story, world or character elsewhere.

His Unwanted Bride (BWWM) √ by Chyica

An arranged marriage was never what I wanted but it seemed to be what life was dishing out to me, and to make it worse, my husband-to-be preferred women on the ...lighter side. And by the lighter side, I mean lighter side of the scale and skin color. #1Bwwm #2Interracial Book 1 of the Unwanted Series PS: There are typos in this work, mostly because autocorrect always puts in the most ridiculous wrong things and I always miss despite reading them before posting, until I have posted and read over and over again. There's also the issue of timelines that don't add up and wrong names. I'm currently editing it in a new document. I hope it will be better. FP: 2017 C:2019
