Lost behind enemy lines during the Great Retreat of 1914, Charles must find a way back to his unit, or whats left of it, before he is found by the Germans. Can he do it? Who will he meet along the way? Find out in "Retreating the Wrong Way"
Set during the Great Retreat, this book tells the tale of Charles Gytrash (pronounced "Gytresh") as he makes his way through the French and Belgian Countryside to find his unit and avoid the Germans
This book is a passion project and will be updated whenever I can push out another part due to school and whatnot. I have to thank my good friends for helping me with the creative process of writing this book. They have inspired and created so many plot points or themes that they have to be mentioned as contributors and maybe even co-authors. If they get Wattpad, I shall have to point you in the direction of their profile. One of them has an amazing poem that won a contest. That one is @MysteryGirl1244
The picture on the cover is from Wikipedia and idk if it's ok to rip the cover directly from there but hey-ho.
As per the fact that this is a historical fiction book, any locations or events that happen may or may not have actually happen or may or may not actually exist in real life. I am going to try to keep it as historically accurate as possible but I will have to take "creative liberties" with some things to further the plot. The locations in paris and any other locations are probably going to be lightly fabricated, buuuuut I will be *attempting* to be basing it on real locations. Probably.
Please tell me what you think when you're done.

So I curl into a ball, hugging my knees to my chest, sobbing, and yowling as I've never done before.

Release Me
Highest ranked- #10 in action 2/16/2017 A promotion. That's all I wanted. I didn't want to run for my life. I didn't want to be kidnapped. I didn't want to face death. I didn't want to find out my whole life was a lie. I just wanted a bloody promotion. Guess fate had other plans? **** The cold air fanned over my face as I opened the door. The exit door lead to the back of the building so it was pitch black. I leaned against the wall trying to control myself. Blood was running down my arm and head. My hair was stuck to my face from all the sweat and blood. Everything was spinning around me and the ground seemed like it was shaking. Groaning I sat down and put my head on my knees. He knows who I am. He knows how I look like. He knows where I work so possible knows where I live. I am not safe anymore... no where. While I was in my own world I heard faint sounds behind me but I didn't bother to look or run away. The footsteps got closer and I was pretty sure it was Walker's men. I should run. I should try to fight. But what's the point in trying to run away? He would eventually find me and if he has his way he would most likely kill me. If this is my fate then why am I trying to fight it? I felt someone harshly grab my waist and pull me up and I complied. They dragged me down the alley and into the busy street. I heard the opening of a car and the next thing I knew I was being thrown into a car. My head hit the hard leather seat and the door shut behind me. Maybe this is how my life will end. Maybe I should just let it happen. Maybe I was destined to die alone as a no one. With that I let the darkness consume me.Complete

World Witches: Arctic Circle
May 9th, 2042; The day after the end of World War Three and the surrender of Germania, which was analogously named the 5th Reich, as officially designated by the Organization of Nations. On this day, crowds filled the streets of every major city worldwide, celebrating the elimination of the greatest threat to the existence of the human race. However, while parties and crowds gathered in two of the three major cities in New Canteria, namely Okha and Vladivostok, the third major city, Arnket, was undergoing decontamination due to the radiation caused by a German nuclear strike in early May as it had resulted in a large crater and an engineered radioactive toxic rain cloud. Aside from that though it seemed as if all would go swimmingly for humanity. Until an alien race named the Neuroi appeared. The date is June 9th, 2042. A full month after the surrender of Germania and a week after the Mecklenburg-Vorpommen massacre. As New Canteria was receiving flak from the Organization of Nations, a sudden disturbance was detected by a Canadian satellite as a mysterious black cloud arose from the North Pole. However the Canadian government paid no mind to it. The last mistake they would make as it was them. They struck down on humanity like a thunderbolt in their most vulnerable moments as the North Canadian forces in the area were almost destroyed from the Neuroi attack, driving thousands and eventually millions from their homes in a attempt to escape the Neuroi. However the human race wouldn't go down without a fight. Mobilizing troops freed up from the end of WW3, the ON and a new organization named NORDEN (NHDA) made a successful resistance against the Neuroi and drove them back to the North Pole. However what they found next would have news of it reverberate across the world. A wormhole to a universe still fighting the Neuroi. (Note: I do not own the World Witches series and all media relating to it.)Complete
