Told through an omniscient narrator, who through the use of poetic prose, didactically interprets the trials and accomplishments of the main character as he overcomes himself and grows tremendously because of it.  Although a fantastical account of an imaginary boy in an imaginary world, Jamal, the main character, relates to the kid in us all, and our shared quest to thrive happily through life uninhibited by the tribulations presented.  This is a dance; this is a song; this is a poem begun the moment we took our first breaths.  Join Jamal on this adventure of self-discovery presented as a progression of events and colorful characters he meets along the way.  The Hero's Journey has begun! 

"I know how you look up at the sky at night, and wish you could see what was up there.  I know all about your drawings and that you'd rather read science fiction books than make friends.  The journeys Jamal; I know about the journeys you take in History class.  I know you go away because it seems more real than anything else in the world, and if you could only escape.  Don't you want to know?  Don't you want to escape Jamal?"
Jamal was of course speechless.  He couldn't express the feeling of finally meeting someone who understood everything he'd wanted to say about how it felt to be him.  All he could manage to ask was, "how?"

With a somewhat philosophical perspective on the basics of life, imaginative descriptions and exciting moments all throughout, The Beanstalk has something appealing for all ages, interests and backgrounds.  Enjoy!

Across Two Worlds: The story of how I became a Hero by AzureFallen
5 parts Ongoing
Have you ever wondered if you were meant to be something greater than what you ended up becoming but, life had other plans for you? Could it be something as simple as fate forcing us down whatever predetermined path was set upon our birth? No one can really say for sure what drives our lives in the direction they end up going. Sometimes we wake ourselves up to realize this isn't who I wanted to be and drown ourselves in delusions, convinced its unchangeable, or they are not willing to put the effort in to try to change their life because it may be to hard or painful. Others don't care content with the life they have and just float through life trying to not get caught up in everything. There are also those that blame fate or a higher existence then them for their problems and mistakes never truly taking accountability. This is the stories of several young adults, who by some interesting and what could be seen as cruel or traumatic events come together to fight fate and grow into the people they wish to become. Each has a past that was unfair, cruel, demeaning, or tragic. The defining trait they all share though, they may not realize it themselves is despite it all, they haven't given in. They found through meeting eachother the strength to fight on despite being subjected to some of the worst things that can happen to people. When a young man from our world dies doing something his ideal self would have done, he reflects on his life moments before leaving this world. Finding it Ironic that dying was the catalyst to him realizing he had lived his life all wrong. Surprisingly though he found himself in a place that was unrecognizable. He could never have imagined that this was only the start of what he now sees as a second chance. A chance to keep a promise he made to someone dear, and a new promise to himself that he would become what that person needed most back then, A Hero.

In one swift movement of my hand I reached behind Sapphire's neck and released her hair from the low ponytail it was in. She gasped at my action and looked at me with feverish eyes. I thought I saw the colour gold flicker in her eyes, for a few seconds before I lifted my hand near her face and tucked a strand of her wavy hair behind her ear, before I said: "I fell in love with you, the first second I saw you reading that Tolstoy book in the library." She looked up at me, her warm beige skin looked like it was glowing now and she said with pure sincerity in her eyes "per sempre, in ogni dimensione, per sempre in ogni vita, solo tu fino al mio ultimo respiro amore mio" It meant (Forever, in every dimension, forever in every life, only you until my last breath, my love) I snaked my hands around her waist and pulled her close to me. Before kissing her the way I wanted to all this time, i looked into her eyes and said "Me too my love, me too." My first novel is about soulmates. And reincarnation. About, how many bodies a soul has to live in before they finally become their true selves. And before they finally get to be with their soulmate. It's about how love has so many faces. It's about how we never know what roads life will force us to cross. And what emotions we will be gifted to feel. And the things we're blessed with that sometimes we neglect. It's about giving yourself the time to grow and evolve before you give yourself to someone completely. And it's about not to take the love you have in your life for granted.

Talking Serenity (Completed) by cunningbird
115 parts Complete
This book conveys philosophy and values for modern issues that undermine today's generation world and their inner voices atmosphere, combined with spices of solitude, cognitions and emotions from a young man that he tries to communicate regarding all its aftermaths and possibilities. Including compendium about daily basis and collisions that he saw through many eyes and theatrical society, which he hopes can become a good reference for those who seek a place for serenity and assessment in a world where life requires everyone to find common sense and confine many voices of speculation. Each chapter in this book possesses a small fraction about his life, which leads to one question...what kind of person he is?. Why is "Talking Serenity" worth reading? 1. Ins and outs of the Modern World's Atmosphere The male character/figure that is told in this writing has a lifestyle background that likes to be alone (Introvert), who loves to observe human relations and tends to be traditional in establishing closeness with other people in his modern world. However, as time progressed, what he had inside of him slowly became worry and indecision in the eyes of many people. The increasing inner confusion of his generation that surrounds his steps in the modern world, of course, is not something that is easily ignored by him as a human being who still acquires traditional values in his soul. 2. Nurturing Culture This writing attaches various possibilities and probabilities to an event in the future when the generation of humans who reign/control today's world do not have good competence, cognition and emotional stability in setting boundaries, respecting and appreciating. The presence of traumatic personal experiences and several clauses related to culture that have been passed down from previous generations, of course, can support the importance of discussing this theme.

(Desclaimer) Before you read the story; I just wanted to say that all rights belong to PBSKids and the Kratt Brothers, this was no sponsor, it is all just for the people who love this specific character from the show. Thank you! (Team-EWP Blurple-Galaxy, A.K.A. Lyliana) You were walking outside your house on a lovely summer break. The people chatted about in your neighborhood street, the birds sang melodies, the sky was clear, and some squirrels hunted for some acorns. This summer was a going to be a busy holiday, you're parents had a lot of plans for the vacation. you all mingled about seeing some animals at the zoo or maybe go on a trip to any country, and your dreams came true. After a long ride from what seemed like a marathon, your parents unpacked the car and made some tea in the cabin, you laid on the cozy couch and (like you always did) texted your friends on your iPhone. At evening, you gazed at the sunset admiring the golden colors of the sky until they faded into a stary blue and black sky. suddenly, there were kids (your age) peeping out of the grass/bushes in red shirts, it was strange how they were dressed the same color but you didn't care, you gave them a friendly wave until a strange sound that sounded like technology and mechanical moans came from there bodies, they acted pretty odd for kids, suddenly they transformed into hardware robots with a cake shaped body, a dome shaped head that looked like an army tank, and a pipe for a mouth, they grabbed you by the arms one also held your mouth shut and took you into what looked like an Airship?
