GENRE:- Literary Fiction/Philosophical

When we are kids, our grandparents recite to us stories of fables and fantasies. But Martin Brown would recite to his grandson stories of his good old voyages across oceans around the world as he had been an ex-Navy man. He would narrate to him how much thrill and elan the sea used to give him; and how it always had an enthralling effect over his mind. Nothing could make him sad when he would be sailing.

Now years have passed and Martin is gone while the heritage of his stories, his grandson, George Brown, is a grown-up man. He has become a successful entrepreneur in Australia but has been a lonely man ever since he got himself into the business... despite having a family.

Trouble arises when recession hits the Australian market and George's enterprise suffers a jolt. And as the market plummets, both George's professional and personal life get into a turmoil.
 
With no option left other than immigration, George decides to embark on his trip on a ship as a homage to his grandfather. And as the voyage starts, so does the lesson of life and its meaning in the words of George himself in the form of a journal.

I wrote this when I was 16 give me a break. TAKEN SERIES: BOOK ONE TW: kidnapping, manipulation, toxic/abusive relationship, violence, death, grief, self-harm, suicidal thoughts/attempts, sexual assault, non-consensual sexual content, alcoholism, stockholm syndrome, switching partners, etc. Do not read this story if you get triggered easily. If you decide to continue, that's your own choice. This story will portray a BDSM relationship, NOT counting the toxicity and genuine abuse that goes on throughout it. Do not comment anything unnecessarily judgmental, especially if you don't know what you're talking about. Thank you, enjoy. - - - - - "Don't ever do something like that again, or I will kill you, understood? "Yes, sir." - - - - - After being continuously hurt, left alone, heart broken and losing the one thing that kept her going, Nia Seymour turns to a new job that will show her how to let loose, live her life and make her happy again. The last thing she expected was to be Taken Captive by someone who would turn her life into chaos, make her addicted to the pain and hold her heart in his hands, breaking it and putting it back together over and over again until she's had enough. • • • The second he lays his eyes on her, Callum Rivera's world is turned upside down and he's made his mind up. She's his. He feeds off of the tears she cries, loves the pain all over her face when he hurts her over and over again, whether it's purposefully or not. As time passes and feelings evolve, soon enough the tears falling out of her eyes no longer give him pleasure, only pain and all he wants is for her to be happy, as long as she's with him. • • • The universe is sending challenge after challenge to these two individuals who want nothing but each other. Will they get past these secrets, lies, toxicity and pain? Or will one of them give up? - - - - -

"And how does that make you feel?" "You want to know how I feel when she refuses to suck my cock?" Red blotches donned on Isabella's cheeks. He had no filter whatsoever and the way he was talking to her like a crass son of a bitch was scalding. However, this is her job. She had to hear him out. "Yes tell me." She tried not to swallow the discomfort she was feeling all of a sudden. "Horny." See? No filter! The man was so....There were no words yet Isabella took a deep breath to rein in her anger. "Would you like me to prescribe some techniques to control your...situation?" Marcelo leaned forward on the black sofa, his elbows on his knees and he looked dangerously at his psychiatrist. "No. I want your mouth to suck me dry and tug my balls while I finger your wet snatch till you are cumming and screaming." Oh lord. • • • Marcelo DeVille is having problems with his fiancé, Pamela Green. When she suggest him to take up counseling, he didn't have the energy to argue with her. Isabella Pressly, a psychiatrist who dedicated twenty years of her life to helping people, is confounded with a new challenge like Marcelo. He was highly rude, adamant to his own beliefs and had serious eye fucking problems. His rage encountered by her calmness was a juxtaposition that torments both. The fuel of desire begins to run the engine vicariously between them but what lies outside their confinement is a reality they don't want to be a part of. How long can they hide?

(Sequel to "Don't judge a book by it's cover) Ever since the previous adventure, the 4 sons parted ways. They were going on their own journeys. Adam, he's trying to find the sacred treasure that Herobrine had hidden in the deserts. The relic was so strong that any God can sense it in a 50 mile radius. However, for some reason he couldn't, so he went getting no help. He doesn't want any help because he wants to prove something. That anyone can do anything independently without any help. His prediction isn't as accurate as you think. Ty, he received a knighthood from the King himself and became the King's personal guard. He didn't want to become God just yet which was perfectly fine with his father, who returned to the End as the God once again. One day the King wanted him to find a scroll, which holds the prophecy of Minecraftia. Ty became intrigued and didn't hesitate when he had the choice to say yes or no. He said yes and headed out to an unknown realm. Martin and Jason, they are still a couple but even closer than before. Jason is even thinking about proposing to Martin after their journey. However, Martin fell into depression when he heard that his father, Jake, fell ill and is going to die soon. Martin is about to become the new King of Demons. But he wasn't ready. Yet. Their journey is finding Jason's mother, who left Jason when he was only a little kid and never came back. He was sent a letter that says that she left to keep Jason and herself safe. He was also given a picture of her, which was useful and a vital piece to their adventure. But are these real adventures or just a wild goose chase?

DREAMS are the realm of both good and evil. Always vigilant, the dreamer weaves in and out of reality like a snake slithering between the leaves and grass, but what about those children who cannot understand, learn, speak, and communicate on a higher plain? Can these special children dream of a better future, of love, and a caring family. Can these children become superheros and change the WORLD, like you and I? Kevin Carpenter is one of those seventeen year old boys, who will always look at the world as a child. His mother almost died, giving birth to him, but Keven's parents would NOT send their damaged boy away, just because he was special... They dedicated their lives to him... doing everything they could. Now he is able to talk, and have fun at the school for severely damaged children. He has FRIENDS... as well as a loving family. Kevin's father discovers an ancient spaceship buried on his farm. Elee, the spaceship, transforms the lives of Kevin, Kevin's friends, their families... and ultimately... all who inhabit our planet... Yes... You and Me. How do you create superheros? Repair the child, let him fly to a planet in another galaxy, and hope that some day he returns home. As you read, please tell me how you feel about the story. This cover was drawn in 1976... found again last month in my studio. It was a dream that turned into "In Search Of Elysium". All comments are welcome. See an error, let me know.
