"Madame, you know we can't afford that type of deal, if there's any other option you might have..."

Unfazed, she looked him dead in the eyes. She knew her business was the only thing the little town was hanging on to. "Well, I suppose you'll just have to figure something out then, sir." Madame then turned on her heels in the sand and with one last look at Henderson, uttered, "Good day." 

At this point, Henderson did not know what to do other than to watch her make her way to Oakland's docks, her sky-blue dress billowing in the wind. At last, when Madame was certainly out of earshot, he grumbled, "Good day, Madame," then closed his eyes and prayed to God that all fifty crates of the Oakland-grown tea had made it aboard that ship.

Your Life Is Not Your Own by another_lost_writer

Lara Westwood, a young adult, follows her abusive boyfriend into the great city of London in the hopes of finding a new beginning. When her relationship spirals, she becomes desperate to find an escape. Can the great detective Sherlock Holmes save her? *** "So, tell me about you," Sherlock says, his words interrupting the silence that has fallen between us. We both now stand together on the bank of the River Thames watching the sunrise across the horizon. It looks so beautiful as it spills like a pot of liquid gold into the clouds, eradicating the night's darkness. "I'm afraid none of my stories can compete with yours," I shrug, feeling my cheeks blush with embarrassment. "Who are you? Where did you come from? How did you get here?" He rephrases. I hesitate for a moment and turn towards the sun, allowing its warm rays to kiss my cold skin, as I debate whether I should be honest with him or not. At last, I let out a deep exhale and decide to tell him the truth. ***

Her Rare Sight by Sinbi22

"I did try to ask nicely and multiple times, I might add. The time for being nice has come to an end since it doesn't seem to work with you." He passed by the table and stepped down. There weren't many places for her to hide in here but the creature did tell him Amelia came into this room. "Please come out and talk to me." He waited a beat for a response but he didn't get one. "Fine, let me tell you a story. I used to be able to see the creatures clearly but an accident happened when I was younger that damaged one of my eyes. Now they're just blurry to me. But you . . . you can see them clearly and see rare objects. I want you to join me. Be my eyes." He waited again for a few moments for a response he still didn't receive. A thought occurred to him. What if she was hoping that he'd just leave the room? He chuckled quietly to himself in amusement. "I'm not going anywhere. But you know what? It's fine if you decline my offer again. Just know that if you don't come with me, you could come home to find that your parents are dead because of a work accident or some other natural cause. You wouldn't want that would you?" He paused just one more time and began speaking again. "If you come with me today, your parents won't have to die. I can keep them safe. If you don't give me an answer, I'll have my creature kill your parents now and I'll still take you. Do you want dead parents or living parents? It's your choice." Amelia came out of the bay window seat compartment. She was trying to hide her fear and anger. She didn't care what happened to her but she didn't want her parents to die because of her. She took a deep breath. "Fine . . . I'll come with you." He smiled smugly, "Smart choice. There's no need to be afraid of me. Your parents are safe now and I won't hurt you." "It's because you need me for my abilities." She said more of a fact than a question. She knew he wouldn't kill her because he needed her. "Correct. Now, let's tell your parents the good news."

"Almost Green" by NUmaker

Strands of your mind cling together like web to a slippery leaf bathed in the morning dew. You have seen both heaven and hell, witnessed the atrocities of war firsthand, and imagined a better life in the deepest, most intimate corners of your dreaming spirit. The wishes for peace and certainty you have once so desperately longed for, now lay trampled underneath the might of your mind's vivid horrors. What was once so bright and lively, now cowers in fear, clinging to gone memories like a shipwreck survivor to some lowly piece of driftwood. From the depths of hell, you arrived victorious, grasping the laurel wreath high above your head. Unrecognizable, with your empty eyes telling a story of innocence brutally taken away from the child curling in shame in the depths of your empty soul. Almost green you are, curly head, having grown up with a rifle by your bedside table, never knowing peace and quiet. Out of the pan that was the Kazdel Civil War and into the scorching flames of Lungmen, where life flows by on its own accord, here, you must learn to live once more. So put on your best facade, Let the reuniting trumpets ring a wild, And allow the city to swallow you whole. Here we are, a continuation of my previous work "Goodbye Curly Head", which sprawled into quite the epistle (but it wasn't really a letter, it's just long :P). Summarized in the most basic way possible, it's a story about a twenty-year-old Kazdel Civil War veteran who goes to Lungmen and has some troubles acclimating to the steady life presented before him. Sprinkle in a too-good-to-be-true offer and a freshly established logistics company, and you get Andy trying to make it big for as long as his deteriorating mental state lets him. I'd say it works as a standalone story for anyone who doesn't want to bother reading the first part. For now, at least. As always, please, pwwease leave a comment, positive, negative, I LOOOVE reading and replying to comments!!

Wishes // Eternalian Chronicles Book 2 by queencleverlevon

"Eleven hundred and three!" Amy breathed. "You were nine hundred and eight the last time we saw you. And what does that make you, Cat? Over a hundred by now!" "Two hundred twenty one, actually!" She said with a laugh. "I can hardly believe it!" Amy peered over Catherine's shoulder, her attention grabbed by something else. "Who's that?" She wondered. Catherine looked around, and saw the figure, and though it looked familiar, she didn't mention it. She turned back around. "Who's who?" Amy looked back at Catherine and her worry cleared. "Sorry, what?" "What did you see? You said you saw something." Amy shook her head with a frown. "No I didn't." "Ah, the moon," the Doctor said, turning and laying on his back, his head on Catherine's lap. She laughed and pushed it off gently. He laughed as well. Amy gazed at them again, wondering what happened for one hundred and ninety five years on that TARDIS. ~ Catherine's story wasn't done. Actually, it's far from over. When two blue envelopes with purple stickers appear on the TARDIS doorstep, both the Doctor and the Destroyer know that a war is about to start, and no amount of running will stop what is coming.

Lacy by EvaWerner22

I gingerly shake it, unsure of this man. The Johnsons are nowhere in sight, and the church is empty. "I am Liam, your brother," He clarifies. Brother? My brother is dead. ~~~ Lacy was raised by a family who hated her, who didn't want her. She was made to believe she was a burden, a mistake. Despite this, Lacy remained positive.
