The Crush Collision

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.

"U-um Blake what are you doing?", I say as he looks at my lips and I gaze at his blue-green eyes.

The Uries (The Urie's Daughter Adopted By Brendon Urie) Book 2
SEQUEL TO THE URIE'S DAUGHTER *(do not read unless you've read book 1. This book is in continuation and won't make much sense otherwise.)* I wondered what I said wrong as I watched Frank run out of the door of my hospital room without looking back. Where's mom and dad? Why are all of my favorite musicians here? The questions swam in my brain as Doctor Parker returned. "I need to speak with Ryleigh alone please,"she said. Tyler, Josh, and Mikey left. "Ryleigh, do you remember what happened?"she asked as I firmly shook my head no. "Where are my parents?"I croaked. "Brendon and Sarah are on their way,"she said. "No, where are my parents?"I asked her, confused why no one would tell me where my parents were. "Ryleigh, honey, what do you remember?"she asked. I stared at her blankly as Brendon and Sarah Urie threw open the door and ran in. Sarah hugged me tightly. "Oh my God! Ry, thank God you're okay. We were so worried,"she said. She let go as I tensed and stayed silent. Doctor Parker gave her a look and the three exited my room. I watched as they looked in crying. What did I do?

Yellowstone: The Train Station
For some, Yellowstone is a place of refuge. Others flee, hoping never to return. Others hope to find love. But what do you do when the 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 brother 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.

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.**Complete
