bread chapter1 circuses

Roxanne lives in a tyrannical society where everyone lives in fear of the horrific punishments dolled out in the sadistic facilities known as 'circuses' to all those who defy the government.  Normally, it's possible to live your life in peace: just follow the lay of the law, and you'll be fine.  Roxanne is on her way to do just that as she sets off for a peaceful, non- violent summer at band camp.  But when she meets a charming guy named Connor, she is torn apart by their newly forming relationship, and the mysterious circumstances surrounding it.  Her nagging doubts turn into certainties, and her actions light a flame that turns the world from the peaceful utopia they had known into an inferno of painful truths and easy lies.

The Gray Side of Eden by AmberLynn00

Mors has always been different. Not many people make the conscious decision to live in the gutters, but it's the only place she's ever known. When a mysterious man shows up telling her that Death wants an audience, she doesn't have the ability to tell him no. That leads Mors on an adventure to learn who she is and why life has never made sense to her. I'm just starting out with this little adventure that came to me in a dream. I'm trying to decide on tense, testing out something different. Also, I'm a little slow about updating and part of these chapters were written on my phone without editing, so typos are not just likely, they're probable.

A Series of Embarrassing Monsters: The Misadventures of Evangeline by Galactica_Writes

Abandoned by the famous novelist who gave birth to her, Evangeline is being raised in a trailer park by a scruffy cat who smells like burnt toast, and the wind-up chambermaid (with key and torsion spring built-in) who found her in a laundry hamper. The teen years of a misunderstood artistic genius are tough. Her dreams of becoming a writer got quashed in infancy, and she only manages to earn a few crumbs of approval after she pivots to ballet. Too bad they come from Miskomin, the cheeky liar who lives a few doors down. As Evangeline's adolescence unfolds, the appearance of an unexpected competitor erodes her burgeoning self-confidence, and a predatory artistic director attempts to rewrite her entire world. Her desperate reactions to these influences and her subsequent return to storytelling bring her inner demons to life. Literally. Eager to master herself, Evangeline tackles a series of monsters, operates a murderous sewing machine, and befriends a sentient doll. Her misadventures help unearth latent abilities and force her relationship with neighbour and frenemy, Miskomin, to undergo a surprising evolution. As her creative journey unfolds, Evangeline gains the understanding and experience she needs to face the final boss: Herself. Will she learn to look beyond the artist she wants to be and accept the person she is? *I'm writing this novel as I go. This is a rough draft. I update every Friday evening Eastern Time. **Note regarding chapter images: AI is devastating the environment.

Between hate and heartbeats by Kayleighxmendeswdw

**Book 1** He was the chaos she didn't ask for. She was the calm he didn't know he needed. When Leah, 23, escapes her toxic home life and a brutal breakup, she finds herself living with Aiden-24, gorgeous, arrogant, and the irresistible lead singer of a rising rock band. Sparks fly... but not the good kind. They clash from day one. But in the late-night silences, in shared melodies and stolen glances, hate begins to blur. And what starts as fiery tension slowly unravels into something deeper. Something dangerous. Secrets are spilled. Hearts are tested. And when Aiden's past comes knocking, Leah is left shattered. Because love doesn't always come softly-sometimes it crashes, burns, and leaves you breathless.

Teammates With Benefits by gabedavisbills13

[boyxboy] Cameron Patterson and Aaron Williams have hated each other for as long as either of them can remember. Because they play positions that counter each other, it was easy for them to hate each other. When one of them is playing well, the other is playing badly. On multiple occasions, their confrontations have become physical, some of them becoming full on fights. One night following a game, their hatred erupts in a way neither of them saw coming. WARNING: There is a massive amount of smut in this book. If you do not want to read smut, do not read this book, because there is a hell of a lot of smut. Chapters with smut will be labeled with an (M) on them, showing that they are mature. If you don't want to read smut, please just skip those chapters. IMPORTANT: The characters start out 18, but there are clear inconsistencies. I started writing this before the Wattpad Purge, and I didn't want to go through the entire story and change their age to 18. There will be a couple chapters near the end of the book where they both turn 18, and obviously that's just stupid. I just don't want to get banned, so I'm saying that these characters are already 18, but they also have their 18th birthdays near the end of the book. I'm just being lazy to be honest. It's not gonna affect the book that much, just ignore it when they say in the early chapters that they are already adults or already 18. That shit doesn't matter. The quality of my writing in this book is pretty mid by the way. I'm a teenage boy that listens to 21 Savage, I feel like expectations shouldn't be high. I don't have writing skills the way many other writers on this site do, so don't expect some Shakespeare type shit. The characters in this book are similar to each other too. It's easier I guess. #1 Sports 4/8/24 #1 Teen Love 6/24/24 #3 Friends With Benefits 3/31/24 #6 Football 3/27/24 #2 Jock 7/2/24 #6 Hate to Love 5/16/24 #4 Bisexual 6/10/24 #4 Pride 6/24/24 #3 Gay Love 6/27/24 #2 Teen Romance 7/26/24

Chelley ~ Tranquility Ignoramus by WheatleyMiner

[Before this book starts I just want to clarify that this is my first ever legit story so I'll be almost as sorry as Wheatley if it turns out bad. I also want to clarify that it contains spoilers of the real game.] So there he was, the core was there, floating aimlessly throughout the cold, vast space for eternity, with his so called 'Space Partner', trying to keep himself amused. And there she was, the dangerous, mute, lunatic, out of Aperture. Wandering upon the wheat field about her. The core and the mute had had their times, their moments, good and bad, they don't have much in common. Except for one emotion...

Black Death And White Roses (1) Mafia Romance by Jinx-01

After three years of struggle to prove her worth in a new country, Rox, short for Roxana, finally nails a job at a new construction company that deals with very exclusive clients. A one-sided love for her new boss Christian makes her say yes to leading the site operation on a villa in Italy belonging to a mysterious Italian businessman, who is rumored to be not only that. Rox also has her own secrets that eat up her inner peace and poison her soul day by day. ---------- A few necessary mentions: - My books contain violence and smut; you have been warned. However (!) It's a slow burn, so don't be disappointed if they don't have crazy sex in the first chapters. They will get laid eventually just that it needs to develop first. Smut is signaled with a note at the beginning of the chapter. The book is meant for mature audience and contains lots of triggers so if you are very sensitive DO NOT read it. -This is a work of fiction and every resemblance with real-life persons or places are only a coincidence, and yada yada. -It should not be copied, but I don't think there is danger of that. 😂 Just have fun and write your own story. -English is (sadly) not my first language, not even my second. Unfortunately, there will be mistakes. Feel free to point them out; I appreciate that.
