Dr. William Backrid hates this moment in time.
He's thirsty, tired, and dying from the heat.
Walking through the red plains of Darwin, Australia, Backrid wants everything to be over.
As a doctor and explorer, he thought this kind of mission would be easy. But he was very wrong.
Instead, it's been thirty-two days of torture, death, sweat, and dehydration.
He wants everything to be over.

During the chaos of Pr. Ex's, Com's and Mojo Jojo's failures of taking over Townsville, the Gangreen Gang had lost their green and all the advantages that came with it, including those they just had barely begun to understand after the episode "Aspirations". In trying to regain the gang's "green", Ace is infected by an unknown science experiment that saps even his normal human strength. The irony! He knows the creepy scientist offering not only a cure but a way back to power in Townsville is not to be trusted, but it's not just the gang at risk of falling apart, his very life could depend on this chance! Told in first person mostly with Ace but also chapters marked at the top with Snake and later Pr. Utonium. Rated for some disturbing psychological moments especially with bodily horror. There is no real bad language and no sexual content or bloody gore.Complete

I looked at him in fear as he looked like a beast with rage dancing in his eyes. "Are you scared?" He asked with cold voice. I tried to swallow but I was so afraid of even nodded my head. I looked past him at the dead body which had pool of blood around it. "You shouldn't be," He said pulling my face near him by my chin. I felt his hot breath hitting on my face. I held my breath and tears but every second it made me difficult. Suddenly, a lone tear flowed through my left eye. His eyes turned a little soft and he wiped my tear gently. "Get ready!" He whispered, softly. I looked at him in fear too scared to ask him about why. "For a contract marriage," He said in stern voice leaving no room for me to deny. • • • It is not an arranged marriage where love blooms after marriage.

Falling For The Fallen
⚠️ CAUTION: UNDER CONSTRUCTION , CURRENTLY BEING REWRITTEN ⚠️ Copyright © 2015 by imnotshortimfunsized Life is not guaranteed. It's not something we've earned, or deserve. It's a gift that God himself has given us. It's crazy, stupid, and beautiful. But life has quite a nasty lover, death. They are in a constant tango, when one life is taken another one is given.

Like it or not, you have an expiration date. We all do. But, is everything in this life as it seems? Why is it that my life is falling apart, but a drug dealer/rapist is getting rich with his toes in the sand? Why am I being hunted? Why am I someone's prey? Why me? Why am I falling for the man that yearns to see the life drain from my body? My death has become a game of some sorts... for both of us. He tries to kill me, he fails, we spend the night together, and in the morning hes gone. To be honest., I would never admit to myself that I fell inlove with my killer... a killer that was very bad at his job... killing. I was #1 on his kill list, and I knew it. But I had always pondered on the question that still remained... If he really did get a good chance to kill me... would he do it? It had always upset me if I had pondered on the question for too long, and to be honest I don't really know why. Afterall he had been trying to kill me for 4 years now, and he still had not succeded. There were still many, many questions that have not been answered... Why is he so strong and fast? Why is he so inhumanly gorgeous? Why hasn't he killed me already? Why does he want to kill me? Does he... like me back? My name is Saphire Williams. And I am falling for the fallen.Complete
His Jahan
" What do you mean, doctor?" I asked. My heart dropping, putting piece to piece together. " Yes, Jahangir Ali Khan-" tension was coiling around my pulse.
