This is a historical fiction piece about a hilariously terrible incident that happened between Waco and Hillsboro Texas. Todd, his sister Janie, Robert, and Henry witness the Crush Collision hosted by the KATY railroad co. (Missouri, Kansas, & Texas Railroad Co.). When I heard about this I thought it was insane, and I just had to write something about it so here's that :) I'm not very good at descriptions...Just letting you all know though, setting those two trains at each other at full throttle for a head on collision set off a boiler explosion with the energy equivalent of a 500 kilogram bomb pretty much...Two or three people died and a whole lot more were injured but the crazy thing is that the gimmick actually worked for publicity for the railroad, which I think is insane.

The Potter Twins
***THIS STORY IS UNDER EDITING AS OF FRIDAY, MARCH 18th, 2016**** I've been reading Potter Twins fan fictions for a few days and I decided to "jump on the band wagon," however I will be putting my own twist on it. I give all rights to everything to JK Rowling, except for the sister as she is my creation. But everyone else as well as the events come from the movies, with my spin of course. My stories will be detailed and somewhat long. I like to put meanings to names or in the case patronuses of Haley and others I add or who don't have one to begin with. We'll be started with Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, I will explain my jump in time later on. Now for a quick summary of where our girl has been. Haley Lilian Potter has been separated from her twin brother, Harry James Potter, for 13 years having been separated since the age of one. No one really knows how it happened but Dumbledore, Sirius, McGonagall, even Snape believed she had died with their parents. So when Dumbledore got word she in a group foster care home in Brighton, he finally told Harry and traveled with McGonagall to retrieve the young Potter. **I set my story to Mature Content. I'm not planning on dropping "F" bombs (As my Dad would say) every other paragraph, but I'm just being cautious. I will be using some language and, as in the movies, people will die.**Concluida

On the brink of humanity's extinction, Nikola Tesla and a mysterious order of scientists known as the Tellurians revealed a bold plan: the uninfected would abandon the Earth's surface by rising up in floating salvation cities, iron and steel metropolises that carried tens of thousands of refugees above the savage apocalypse. The remnants of mankind huddled fearfully in the clouds, waiting for the werewolves to devour each other. Twenty years later, only one salvation city remains aloft, while the beasts still rule the world below. Time has taken its toll on the miraculous machinery of the city, and soon the last of the survivors will plummet to their doom. But when Elijah Kelly, a brakeman aboard the largest of the city's Thunder Trains, is infected by the werewolf virus, he discovers a secret world of lies and horrific experiments that hide the disturbing truth about the Tellurians. When the beast in his blood surges forth, Elijah must choose between the lives of those he loves, and the city that is humanity's last hope of survival."Concluida

Yellowstone: The Train Station
For some, Yellowstone is a place of refuge. Others flee, hoping never to return. What do you do when love turns to betrayal? Anicka Perez made a bad marriage but didn't know it until her husband beat her when they returned from their honeymoon--all because she was too tired for sex. Faced with the realization of the true nature of the man she married, she ran away in the middle of the night barefooted and taking her pregnant cat. She beat on doors until a kind woman took her in and called her mother who came and fetched her home. Her mother called the cops, and it only took one look for them to realize how badly she'd been hurt. The family huddles together to decide what to do. Her mother Paola and brother Ramon can support her for a few months, but both are shocked when she announces she is going to look for her beloved Benito. His last known address was the Yellowstone so that is where she intends to start. She rides but not well enough to be a ranch hand. She can cook and muck stalls, that could -be enough to get her hired for something. She can't wait to leave Texas and finds herself driving her father's old truck and heading north. She had to leave her beloved cat behind, but her sister gives her a half-grown German shepherd puppy to keep her company. She gets to Montana and the Yellowstone and is offered a job mucking stalls. She hears about a mysterious place they call the "Train Station" and wonders if that is where her brother ended up. The Duttons have accepted her, but she is cautious, using her fake names and telling no one who she is. When Travis Wheatley comes to the ranch and meets her, he knows he has met the woman he wants to spend the rest of his life with. She finds herself falling in love, but to be with Travis means returning to Texas, and all the bad memories. Will she be able to overcome her fears, will love win her over? Only time will tell. TW: contains mature issues, including rape and assault.Concluida
Personified US States and Federal District
So this was an idea I've had for a while now concerning the capital and states. I started out with Alaska, then moved to New York and it just snow balled from there. This book will start with Delaware, end with Hawaii and will put D.C. in middle with the rest of states from the 1700s. And if anybody wants to create fan art for them feel free to do it and if you want your art displayed here, I'll make a separate book just for the art. Please be mindful of the fact that these are my ideas on how they all look and act. Before anybody gets on me about Pennsylvania, I've read other stories where Penn is albino and can switch from acting like Prussia to Austria and back again with either a trigger word or song. I've done it so that even though Penn mainly acts like Austria, he will switch to Prussia if AND only when the family is being seriously threatened. The only countries who know about the capital and the states are as follows: 1. Russia, Ukraine, Belarus- reason is because of the purchase of Alaska back in 1867 and that New York decided to follow his grandma to meet this new potential sibling 2. Lithuania- we all know that he lived with Alfred for a time, so he one day literally ran into Alaska and from there meet the 50 of Alfred's children 3. Prussia- two words people VALLEY FORGE, it was not a good winter that year at all 4. Canada and Mexico- Mexico knew already because the states along the southern border are hers (yes, here Mexico is a girl named Esperanza) and Canada found out shortly after the war of 1812 Hope you all enjoy reading the book and as a pre warning, all and any flames will be used to roast marshmallows on bayonets (don't tell Gilbert about that last part) over backyard fire pits.Concluida

An American at Hogwarts
Alexa Stark, daughter of Tony Stark (yes, Ironman. No, she can't help you meet him). She's always followed in her dad's footsteps, and at fifteen years old, she was already a tech wizard. One day, after a mishap at an MIT pre-college program, she finds out she's also a real wizard. **************** Weird things had always happened to Alexa; it was just a fact of life. But when she accidentally explodes the other team's science project, she realizes "bad luck magnet" doesn't cover things anymore. Alexa never believed in magic. She relied on science and fact, and she wasn't interested in going somewhere that didn't even offer physics. But when the opportunity comes up to go to a school in the UK (and spread her wings beyond her dad for a little while), she gladly accepts. It's time for Alexa Stark to make her way to Hogwarts, albeit a few years late. If anyone can catch up in time for fifth year, it's this girl. She's ready to turn the magical world on its ear. **************** "Dad, have you seen this school supplies list?" I asked. "No, what's on it? Shouldn't you already have it all? You were just in a pre-college program." "No, it's stuff like quills and parchment!" "What?" "Yeah! Look, I don't care what this list says, I'm not writing essays with quills." **************** Hey guys! So this is going to synch pretty well with the Harry Potter timeline, but just a heads up that it might not match very well with the Marvel timeline. This book starts at the beginning of Harry's third year, and Alexa's fifth (she's in the same year as the twins). I do not own any of the Harry Potter characters or storyline.Concluida
