This is a fan fiction novel.

Fact: Sometime during the 1920s, the British crime writer Agatha Christie went missing for ten days. Eventually turning up at an hotel in Harrogate. After being questioned by doctors, she genuinely didn't know where she'd been.

Fiction: Suppose HG Wells was a woman not a man. Suppose the Time Machine was not a novel but an instruction manual?

Now, mash those two together add in a dead archaeologist looking for an Ancient Egyptian artifact. And you get my latest story: The Fifth Beetle!

She gets trapped in a morbid time machine which travels her to 1945, the year on her daughter's death, to try to save her from the events.

Some are dark and morbid, even when everyone in your town talks about it. You swore to secrecy that they wouldn't tattle, but you sometimes can't trust them, even if something goes terribly wrong that the truth has to be uncovered.... Warning: contains violence in some scenes. I have no interest or intention in actually killing someone or something. This is just a book I like to write and criminal minds in the '40s-'60s got me thinking of writing my very first book (which is this one). Also, some sensitive topics include religion, so viewer discretion is advised. Enjoy reading this book. Thank you so much on reading this! I appreciate it! A/N: this is my first story ever. 🌚🌝 y'all this is my first story ever. pretty crap, if I do say so myself. so I apologize if the story and it's events is pretty confusing.

BACK AND FORTH-I by g6ypk1

Email is g6ypk1@yahoo.com Thank you all. You're reading my work makes my writing worthwhile. I have rewritten chapters Four and Five, so that a comprehensive and more malleable comprehension of the philosophy of the science and argument, along with the plausibility that assists the reader greatly. Back and Forth is set in 2040 and 1065-66. The disappearance of a misjudged maverick scientist in 1966; his derelict home; its purchase and full renovation brought the discovery of a clandestine laboratory and, what turned out to be a prototype Time-Machine, found in a hidden cellar. Like an out of control roller coaster my mind was racing. With this golden opportunity thrust into my hand. The time was ripe to do something about the battle at Hastings. Could this humiliation England suffered 974 years previous be reversed? The opportunity would never come again and, it was up to me to set forth and meddle with history. England shall never be invaded and lost again. Secretly, I gather scientists, engineers and close friends to advise and devise ways and means to bring about the reversal of this most ignominious defeat. Would King Harold accept help from these angels? Or are we to him, Satan's demons? What happens next? Will these Wizards from the 21st Century bring England out of the Iron Age into a peaceful, happy and enlightened environment? Will an oppressive continental regime continue to rule this land, and, if so, how could this situation be reversed? For good or evil, we must see what happens.

His Sweet Lies by moonprince87
18 parts Complete Mature
Her brows furrowed. "You look like you have something specific you wanna ask me." The tips of Liam's ears turned red at Emma's very accurate observation. "I, uh... I usually just bullshit my way through projects, so I have no idea what the hell I'm doing." The corners of Emma's lips formed a small smile. Liam arched his brow. "What are you smiling at?" Her smile widened. "Nothing." Ever since Emma started going to Silver Creek High, she's been bullied over her discolored eyes. It all started when a boy brought attention to her in biology class one day, laughing at her and calling her a "freak" while the rest of the class laughed along with him. She never looked at him or saw his face; she just ran out of the room crying. She was now an outcast labeled as a freak and she wanted nothing more than to just disappear. She felt she had no purpose in life. Until her sophomore year when she fell in love with Liam, the guy every girl wanted; the guy every dude wanted to be. He had stolen her heart and she now wanted nothing more than to be with him. Unfortunately, Liam seemed to want nothing to do with Emma. He seemed to be straight up avoiding her. They never interacted for 3 whole years. That is, until now in their senior year, when they get paired up for a school project. The two must put their differences aside and try to work as a team. But as they spend more time together, feelings grow deeper, and secrets start to rise to the surface. Warning: Contains mature language, sex, and topics of bullying, sexual assault/harassment, self-harm, and suicide
