20th September 1959 11:55am: 
The existence of God is revealed to mankind. Mankind reacts.

This original concept weaves a labyrinthine narrative of human behaviour as a group of strangers collectively respond to the most significant event in recorded history. 

Whispers emerge of extraordinary events occurring around the globe. Miracles, or opportunists exploiting the hopeful? 
For some, putting it all on the line to find out is a chance they have to take:
A downtrodden father wants to redeem the damage he has done to his family. A lonely mother seeks to help her autistic child so that her husband will return to her. 
A fanatic takes violent exception to the news, and a morally confused criminal enlists the aid of free-spirited journalist to pull off an impossible deception.

Why the revelation, at this particular point in civilisation? Is Utopia on the horizon, or has the irrational nature of man now found a new catalyst to bring on self-destruction? 
The truth is far more sobering.

Thank you for reading.

Blackout. [COMPLETED] by evemaym
26 parts Complete
A person's life is shaped and moulded around their history and their future. Their memories and secrets create the person that they are, and their hopes and dreams create the person that they are destined to be. But what if you had no memories or secrets, no hopes or dreams. What if you lived namelessly, forgetting everything you knew every few days. Imagine if you had to find out who you were, where you were, and what your purpose was, and then try to live a normal life, despite not even knowing your own name. You're about to read the story of a girl who plans to do exactly that, before she has another blackout.
Exile: The Book of Ever by JamesCormier
30 parts Complete
Centuries after the Fall, the United States has been wiped away. The crumbling remains of the great American empire are home now only to savage, lawless tribes and packs of ravening Damned-the twisted children of the apocalypse. Most of those few who survived humanity's destruction spend their short lives in a violent struggle for survival. But some light still flickers in the darkness: the Blessed of Bountiful live in seclusion, relying on walls both physical and spiritual to protect them from the Desolation that their world has become. Among them are the Saints, those few men and women born with superhuman abilities that the Blessed see as gifts from God. The violent apostate tribes of the Northeast Kingdom have always been a danger, but up until recently its small size and the vigilance of its people have made Bountiful an unappealing target. As attacks on the community grow harsher and more frequent, however, even the steadfast Blessed are forced to start preparing for the worst. With her home's very existence threatened, seventeen year old Ever Oaks, a Saint with the power to heal, is forced to make a difficult choice, one that may come to define her people's future... Exile was a semi-finalist in Mark Lawrence's Great Self-Published Fantasy Blog-Off (#SPFBO). Fantasy Faction said it was "extremely cool," and Bookish Lifestyle called it "more than just a story, a journey and an experience." When I'm asked about it, I often describe it as "X-Men meets The Walking Dead." In addition to reading it here for free, you can buy Exile in e-book or paperback on Amazon.com.
Every Hero Deserves a Blowjob [A Paranormal Romance] by aaronfhuston
24 parts Complete Mature
What happens when gods and goddesses fall in love? What happens when the hero isn't you? Everything seemed to have hit rock-bottom for Karma. A college educated former Marine and now a convicted felon, it would be easy to say divorce was hard. With a daughter on the way from a spur of the moment relationship, he was ready to accept whatever dead-end path life was heading. Lucky-or unlucky-for him, the gods found a suitable purpose for someone of his...caliber. Seduced by a succubus and dragged through the thin veil that separates dimensions, he found himself face-to-face with a woman chasing an invisible butterfly. Unaware of his circumstances and on the verge of being granted magic, he decided to help Ehma. There's no way he could know of the spell affecting the hotel's resident ghost or the plot that brought them stumbling into each other in another world. Ehma wasn't looking to be saved. In life, and in death, she took matters into her own hands. With a lifetime of manipulation and betrayal behind her, she just wanted to move on. This is no harem and definitely not a place for heroics. The women are powerful, the magic deadly, and the relationships...complicated. Jaded and disillusioned, Karma begins a journey to prove whether he's the man he thinks he is and whether he deserves the chance at redemption only true love can bring.

What if your life was just one thread in a vast tapestry of realities, woven across time and space? Michael Woods, a successful but solitary sales manager in a bustling city, begins experiencing strange sensations and vivid dreams that transport him into other lives, in other eras. From the palaces of ancient Egypt to the teachings in China, and even to the mystical rivers of John the Baptist and Jesus, Michael's journey blurs the line between reality and the multiverse. As Michael's consciousness shifts between lifetimes, he encounters prophets, scholars, and kings, each representing a different facet of the human quest for wisdom, freedom, and self-awareness. Through the eyes of Amon, a young companion to a prince in ancient Egypt; Ben-Ami, a boy entangled in the conflict between Moses and Pharaoh; and Azriel, a seeker of truth in ancient lands, Michael must unravel the purpose behind these lives. Haunted by questions of identity, the nature of reality, and the existence of a supreme consciousness, Michael embarks on a metaphysical journey across centuries. Along the way, he discovers that every action, every thread of life, has consequences that ripple across the multiverse. In this profound exploration of consciousness and destiny, Michael must confront the ultimate question: Is reality as we know it merely a fleeting illusion, or is there a higher purpose behind the interconnected lives we lead?
