Year 2020. Covid-19 has hit the world hard. The world's trade suffers. And for a tiny island country whose economy heavily relies on global trade, a recession the likes of which has never been seen before, even during the 2003 SARS, looms.
But down there on the edges of the 'Little Red Dot', a group of under appreciated people stay. Due to a number of reasons, the virus runs rampant among my people. The most number of cases happens here, larger than any community cases ever since the virus touched the country's shores. We are afraid, but there's nothing we can do to stop it.
This is my story. A story of fear and despair. And I tell it so that you may understand my pain. Our pain.

Have you ever felt like life wasn't enough, like you were going through the motions day in, day out, all you wanted was a change. Well one day I woke up and made that change, I was no longer the well behaved boy that did as he was told, I was a new person and I wanted to do things my way. I wanted to do what made me feel alive, even if that was murder of innocent people, I wanted to grab someone and watch the life drain out of their faces, it pleased me.. it made me feel alive. This is my story of heartbreak and turmoil, friends lost and friends gained, families torn apart by my needs. This is my life, and I'm proud to be the man I am.

Escaping the Monster's Embrace (OLD BEING REWRITTEN )
(Currently being rewritten under a new name The Claimed) Everything changed when they came out of hiding, terror spread across the world as people began to question if our presidents and our global leaders lied to us and weren't from the same race. The Beasts blended in amongst us as if we were the same, except humans didn't have the same predatory instincts and we couldn't change our forms like they could. Soon after we learnt that we weren't the only species people began going missing. Some were unlucky and taken as something that the Beasts called a Mate that one word made fear spread throughout my veins, I would rather sell my soul than have one of them mutts chain me to them. Six months went by before the government, that was un-tainted by this vile race began to take action into their own hands contacting other countries and militaries causing the great war to happen, sending both my parents off to fight for our rights. Only one of them came back, two months was the longest we lasted before we were overpowered by them. Six years of living in this dysfunctional environment and my hatred had never dwindled. Some people still believed in god and had faith in him, I didn't know what I believed in but I prayed like everyone else that I would get through another day without hearing the soul crushing word 'Mate'.

Saving Isabella
Isabella's life has been anything but easy. At 14, she's already endured more than most. Her mother and her mother's boyfriend, Jack, were both controlling and abusive, leaving Isa to navigate the scars of their manipulation. Her mother always told her that her father abandoned them, and she never mentioned anything about brothers. Isa has lived believing she was truly alone. But everything changes when her mother and Jack are arrested, leaving her without a guardian. With nowhere else to turn, Isabella is sent across the country from Chicago to Los Angeles to live with nine brothers she never knew existed. Struggling with the trauma of her past and the lies she's been fed, Isa finds herself thrust into a new life with strangers she's supposed to call family. What she doesn't know is that these brothers are far from ordinary. They are not just successful men-they are the leaders of a powerful mafia empire, operating in the shadows of the city. Every brother has secrets of their one, as they have a hard time trusting anyone out of the family. Non the less the 9 brothers form a marvelous team. ⚠️⚠️ Warning ⚠️⚠️ - selfharm -drugs -blood -murder -suicide (attemps, ideation ecc...)

One Micro Fiction Story each Day [complete]
I have decided to force myself to write every day. I've tried to start a novel countless times, so I have reached the conclusion that it's better to write short stories. I was looking for Short Story challenges to make it exiting, and I found one that I liked; writing one micro fiction story each day, it doesn't matter how many words it has or what it is about, but, I have to finish one every day. I decided this was the best moment to start, it being march of 2020, and me being in quarantine with nothing to do. This is why this book exists, each day I will write a piece of micro-fiction and post it in this book. I believe that I will get better through time if I follow this challenge. Some day I may decide to stop it, though hopefully it will be in a long time. (by the way, it's not complete but I marked it like that because the chapters don't compliment one-another, so each story is basically done by the time I publish it) -Lilly RoseComplete
Behind My Eyes.
come pick my mind and stay awhile, make yourself comfortable. it's awfully lonely in here. - inside this book, you'll find five distinct parts: simply me, which tells you almost everything you need to know about me. you, which tells you about my experience with love and the state of bliss it brings you. after you, which tells you about my experience with heartbreak and hate. nightmares, which is every scary thing that occurs in my mind and things that instill fear in those who read it. the book closes with recovery, where we explore self-confidence and self-discovery. these are the inner workings of my mind, i'm not going to sugar coat it for you: it's a sad, depressing place. this all comes from the pages of my journals so i'm sparing you the tear-stained pages, consider yourself lucky. hope you enjoy! - feel free to comment or message me :)Complete
