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.

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."Complete

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?

I hate you (Thomas JeffersonXAlexander Hamilton)
Y'all ready for a cheezy ass summary?! Because I'm not. ---- Basically it's a modern Hamilton/Jamilton AU (wow. much original). Thomas and Alexander are roommates and Thomas gets lung cancer and shit happens. It's an emotional roller coaster so have fun. ---- I was really tempted to write something like: *insert depressing/dramatic music* What will happen when Alexander finds out his roommate and worst enemy had *pause for dramatic effect* lung cancer. *audience gasps* I am so sorry.Complete
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
