Hours earlier, his wife strangled the cats to show her irritation with him. Unsure of what do to next, Starling begins a conversation with his 12-year-old brother who has been dead for thirty years. There are times when hiding in the past is the only place that's safe.

Atlantis Academy: The First Element by AutumnKalquist
55 parts Complete
Five Star Reviews for Atlantis Academy: "Omg this book was amazing I couldn't put it down or stop reading. I carried it with me open on my phone while I did everything just to keep reading. I need more of all of this. Epic story, epic content, epic visuals, just epic. LOVE THIS!" "Once I got into this story, I did not stop reading it. This is a beautiful story about a very awkward girl who is riven with so much pain and angst and yet... this makes her who she is and shapes her into the person she will become. The world she finds herself awakened to is magical and yet filled with the all-too-familiar cliques and tribes of the very human people who inhabit it. One word to describe the story: beautiful!" "The story pulls you headlong to the end and leaves you wanting to shout "No! Not yet!" ...If there were 6 stars, I would have given it that." *** Humanity is one secret society away from extinction. The children of Atlantis use magic to keep us safe. If they make it through the Academy. Hi, I'm Lyric. And I'm kind of a mess. ADHD, that's me. I'm a high school drop-out, late everywhere I go, and one screw-up away from being homeless. I'm a loner, and I like it that way. Who needs friends when you have a Redwood forest nearby? Trees never bully me like the kids did at school. Or get drunk and throw things at my head. After my mom died, I figured life couldn't get much worse. I thought it might even get better. Ha. The universe has a great sense of humor. I should've listened to the rumors about evil spirits. About the angry, ancient magical creatures haunting our small Oregon Coast town. But did I? No. That was my first mistake. And it might be my last. 'Cause now I'm in a battle for my life. A whole new world has opened up... a magical world I don't understand. And the blood in my veins says I belong here. But I have to prove myself to save myself. And when have I ever done that?

How would God respond to making a mistake? Would planets collide or mountains slide into the sea? Or would the ledger of all life simply remain out kilter until a series of small events forced that ledger back into balance again? It's probably the latter. After all, you don't want to call attention to your mistakes if you're an all-powerful being. Across 12 interconnected stories, Just Follow the Cat unravels the events that shape the life of Starling Prindle and the original mistake that started him on his search for the center of the universe. The stories are simultaneously whimsical and nihilistic. They are also poetic in an unconventional way. There are cats and shadows of cats in every story. The 12 stories are told to a woman who can't see, can't hear, and can't react. From beginning to end, her thoughts about what she hears remain a mystery. Or maybe it's more than that. Maybe it's more shrouded. More unknowable. Maybe her thoughts are a riddle surrounded by a mystery that's inside an enigma with the whole mess wrapped in bacon. Maybe. Just maybe she is like a cat who has entered her 10th life and is now content to simply listen. When I write, I try to use simple language and speak directly to the reader. My goal is to have the reader feel as if the story is being told only to them. And my hope is that reading these stories will create a casual and comfortable bond between the reader and the narrator - kind of like sitting across a table from each other, sipping morning coffee, and listening.

A question came to me during a reset. A question that has started bleeding through my veins. A question I whisper over and over in my sleep. A question you think I am asking passively. But it stitches into me, coiling around my being. A question I keep asking because it doesn't make sense. All that is left of the world is a city. She is the only person left. She doesn't know what happened, where the people went, why there is no life. You are there. But who are you? What is she? What is she supposed to do when the world resets, and more and more of the city is demolished. She's running out of time. *Completed*

Certainly they could trust that those in power ultimately had the best interests of the people in mind, right? ~~~ Luna slouched low in her seat, staring at droplets of water that ran diagonally down the window of the bus. The sky was a flat, depressing grey and the incessant, soaking rain left her constantly chilled. It was a typical "liquid sunshine" day in the Pacific Northwest. They drove past a single tall scraggly tree on top of a hill shrouded in mist. The creepy tree was full of screaming crows. How could she hear them from inside the bus when she couldn't even seem to hear the voices of the kids around her? Geez, that was an awfully freaking dark image. She shivered and looked away. What did they call a group of crows again? Right, a murder of crows. Perfect. The weather was certainly the only thing that was typical these days, although you'd never know it by looking around the bus at most of the kids as they sat joking and gossiping with each other just like they had before... before that day everything had changed. Idiots.
02 February - the memorable and the forgetten by tuoheight
12 parts Complete
On an unusually warm February morning, one million monkeys sit down in front of one million old fashioned typewriters and begin typing randomly. By chance, they create one perfect sentence that draws together four women from four different parts of Baltimore. It is the once in a generation month of the Lover's Moon - the month when the 28 days of February misalign completely with the phases of the moon. With no full moon rising throughout the month, those people who have failed to find love in their lives are able to see hope in the relative darkness of that rarest of all months. Instead, lies and hope collide and the plan for the day is disrupted when all one million monkeys become distracted by the sight of a premature spring emerging on the warmest February day in Baltimore history. As a result, love eludes the four women. One gives up. Two get bored. And one dies as her son evaporates into the ether that separates the memorable from the forgotten.

It is the morning before the summer solstice and Charon Juet's life is ruined. Or anyway, that's what her mother has just told her. The following day is Charon's 40th birthday and there is nothing to celebrate. Born on a momentous day in the history of Mars, Pennsylvania, Charon Juet was expected to live a charmed life. Instead, she pours coffee, flips pancakes, and fends off unwanted compliments from the patrons of the only diner in Mars. With little to lose, Charon asks a stranger to come home with her. At the doorstep, Charon is stopped by a small lie she told earlier in the day. It was the kind of lie we tell strangers all the time. Or maybe it was mostly a lie, but (also) partly the truth. Regardless, it was truly truly absolutely the worst timing ever.
