This is a story of the birth of a new theme park in Southern California.
The designers and investors begin with the best of intentions. They want to balance ideas like "It's a small world after all" with ideas like "In America we speak English." But big construction projects seldom go exactly as planned or budgeted. Some of the good intentions are met with centuries-old hostility, and the designers and investors are left bickering over what kind of park to build. Do they plow ahead with their original plans? Or do they compromise and accommodate? In the age of Trump, compromise is considered weakness. Should they man up and present concepts that modern cultures need to hear? Or should they act reasonably?
Leith, one of the lead designers, is a workaholic who is content in a loving, stable marriage that doesn't require much maintenance. Until he realizes that's just the theme-park version of marriage.
A novel in 24 chapters.

Barry's life
Two people fall in love in unlikely circumstances. They have a lot of psychological issues and mistrusts in the order of things to prevent them from finding themselves and each other. I am a reader of crime novels and hard science fiction almost exclusively, and yet this story, which I have been writing for a long time, is a love story, I can't explain it even to myself. The characters will have to work through hardship and evolve to be able to surrender to the magical things around them and the flow of the universe and the love of other people. This story still is a work in progress, it has holes and it is to be continued

Dedicated To Disney
{COMPLETE} **Featured in the @adventure "The Adrenaline Rush" reading list** **Featured in the @adventure "Featured Stories" reading list** •••••••••• Disney characters are arriving each day into our world, flustered and scared. This has been happening for a year now, and over this year, a park has been made to contain these characters like animals. To show them off like a zoo. This theme world soon becomes more popular than Disneyworld itself; people wanting to see the real characters with their own two eyes. Gianna Yumia got a job at the world's biggest hotspot - ComplexDisney - to support herself and her family. The place pays big and much-needed checks to the workers. But as she works, and as more characters continue to arrive, something doesn't seem right. The Disney characters shouldn't be kept prisoner - let alone should they be turning up in the first place. ____________________________________ ADVENTURE | | MYSTERY ---BEWARE--- draft from 2017-2018 © All Rights ReservedConcluida
in about two weeks.
After a highly contagious disease caused the downfall of mankind as they know it, married couple Sophia and Tom were forced to leave their home and seek a way to survive in more than ever unforgiving conditions, scavenging for food, collecting rainwater, migrating to the south for the winter, and fending off both hostile survivors and dangerously aggressive Infected. Being nomads made for rather unpleasant interactions with settled communities and pushed them into complete isolation. Their relationship grew each day more bitter, binding them only through the sheer inability to let go of life, no matter how brutal or dreadful it got. Unexpected sudden encounters will make them question their past, feelings, and motivations, as they navigate the ruins of their sense of self and of their close-to-failing marriage. "[...] in any case, destiny, or whatever higher power acting upon them, had a splendid way of forcing self and mutual reflection for the umpteenth time in about two weeks."

My Infinite Devotion
SAMPLE// A young woman happens to be at the either the wrong place at the right time or the right place at the wrong time. To some it might have been at the wrong place at the wrong time, to others it was the wrong place at the right time vise-versa, but to her it was the right place at the right time. ______________________ Suddenly I'm being spun around and trapped into someone's arms. Mystery man has his hands wrapped round my waist with my arms trapped between the two of us. "Don't try me." He says in a dangerous voice. " Go along with it. Make it look like I'm about to kiss you." he whispers in my ear. I don't know if I should or not, but then I heard that insulting woman talk again. " You wouldn't dare." She seethed. " You've gone much further than this. What makes you think that I wouldn't?" He said coldly. First of all who would want to cheat on this heavenly masterpiece. Suddenly he bends down to an angle which makes it look like we were kissing. His breath was fanning onto my neck making it almost irresistible to not kiss him. I'm pretty sure he felt my heartbeat speed up to. " FINE. But I wont let this slide. I'm going to get you back Loc Hasegawa." she says getting her things. " And you. I'm definitely going to get back at the woman who stole my man from me." She says pointing at me. Is she crazy? I did NOT steal her man. Although I wouldn't mind being with him.Concluida
The Marriage Deal.
What do you get when you mix a stubborn, beautiful woman with an arrogant, handsome man, and there's already a history between them? The results may vary: intense arguing, lies, hatred, sexual tension so strong, it's palpable. When London Withers' company's latest challenge brought her and her unintentional one night standee together, she doesn't know what to do, how to feel. Of course, she mostly blamed herself for dropping her name in the slot box during a moment of weakness. She should've known the moment would pass. Now, she was stuck, married to a man she absolutely abhorred for two months and a half and she couldn't do anything about it. It didn't help that she had been celibate for nearly a year and that he is still just as sinfully good looking as he was the last time she'd seen him. Will the lies, hatred and the arguing worsen or will everything take a complete turn in another direction, one London never anticipated?Concluida
