Outsider by Oddly-told

This story is for my little brother. He was the best man I ever knew, and he died too young. No, he didn't leave this life the way I tell it in this story (it is, after all, a work of fiction), but he might have had things played out a little differently than they did. Childhood sexual abuse is alive and well in America and the larger world as well. Rodney and I lived it, and that basic fact served as the seed that made this story possible. Much of what you are about to read is true. Just as much is pure fiction. You'll get that (in spades) as the book progresses. The idea of another, better life waiting "out there" somewhere is a constant of most religions, but this is not a book about any religion or, really, the afterlife. It is a story about escape and hope.

Old Man by john_chan

Remember science class and looking at a piece of onion skin under the microscope? It's still onion skin, but it appears completely different when you look it in a different light. People can be like that too. A little boy finds out that his relationship with his grandfather is not exactly what he had thought.

My Life In Pieces by MzangilaSnr

A boy grows in a small village, chained with witchcraft, poverty and alcohol. Somehow he manages to get out of the village to attend far away schools in the city where his life completely changes as he utilizes his newfound freedom. This is followed by several tribulations, conquering each of them, drowning in some and even attempting suicide. In college he's inscripted into the special branch where he becomes a cold killer who cleans the government mess. His story is that of denial, struggle with identity, lack of personal freedom and misery. It radiates several lessons and reveals how a person can be totally different from what others know about him. He knows that his end is near and that he has to find ways to emancipate himself, because knowing much can get you killed. Have a wonderful read.

Equals by AshJ87

This story takes place two hundred years after the story of resistance. If you haven't read it you don't have the plot of the story will be explained in the story. This story is about a child named Gash who is having their coming of age ceremony and they must decide whether they will become a boy or girl. What Gash doesn't know is there is another world outside the cozy city where they grew up where people are free to be themselves regardless of gender. All Gash wants is for the people of each city to be equal and so they start a political uprising to raise awareness of the gender inequality going on in the city they grew up in.

Little Drummer Boy by tiger002

It's amazing how one little choice can change a life. Not just for you, but for everyone around you. I knew that our family welcoming in a foster child would change things, but I never imagined how much. I never imagined the burden my new brother carried. But he didn't have to carry that weight on his own any longer. Sometimes family wasn't linked by blood. Sometimes a brother comes when you least expect it. Sometimes adventure comes when you step out by faith. Sometimes family is all you have Sometimes love leads to pain. But I'd embrace the pain all over again for him. Because really, we were all that he had.

Being Saved By The Alpha by kiara23

I thought I was six. I wasn't. I thought my parents were coming back to find me. They weren't. I couldn't remember my name. I didn't know who I was. I didn't know where I was. I didn't know or remember anything. Until one night. I didn't do anything wrong, but they seem to think I did. They wanted to kill me. They still do. I was saved that night. I was saved by the him, the Alpha, who didn't know a thing about me. And ever since then, he has been the one who saved me. But nothing he can do will save me from them. The rogues. For some reason they want me, and no amount of protection will save me from them. They want me dead, and nothing will stop them from getting what they want. Except him. And he doesn't even know it.

Unseen Heart [DISCONTINUED] by 4-5-1-20-8-Upon-Me

Don't read this. Its an old story I keep to look back on and reminisce. This is a boy with both status and wealth, but that is not a life he wants. Instead he wants to be normal like everyone else. But soon something will happen, at the time he did not know, he didn't see, but will soon to understand very well. What will the boy do anything once he does understands, or will he just go on without getting involve to pursue what he wants (normal life)? Also this is my first time writing....Do forgive any mistakes or cause of boredom. I may also give up half way and never end up finishing so do forgive that too.
