Cherie
A young girl has issues with herself & contradicting thoughts about the people around her, resulting from negligence from her parents, which eventually leads her down the path of worldwind romance, narcissism, older men, tigers, the circus & an extreme personality disorder. All tragedies are concealed by her wonderful sense of humour. I kept telling them something was wrong. I kept saying that sleeping on my stomach didn't help with the swelling, and that knuckles on my forehead wouldn't slam words into my head. I told him that the pretty lights looked like festive nooses; they didn't make me feel any better. Most of all, I told him that I felt like I was a million different people. He said, "What do you think this is? Bittersweet Symphony?"Complete
Reflection
They say in the end we always pay for our sins, that when we reach those pearly gates and judgement falls that we will repent for our ways and justice will be served. That by only believing in HIS sacrifice are we truly ever saved. But... what if you are the sin itself... what if your very existence was a sin... an abomination stained onto the fabric of the world with no say nor choice of your own. An anomaly placed within the hands of the ignorant to wield as their weapon of choice. A damned creation in search of a salvation that will never be your own. What if... despite your beliefs... you could never be saved...Complete
LIGHTS OUT
You thought your phone was broken when it read nine-forty-three in the morning while it was pitch black outside. One look at social media gave you all the information you needed to know what was happening. The sun was gone. Everywhere, in every state, city, country. Not only that, but people were making up all kinds of excuses for why it was missing. Yet, with each hour that passed, it kept worsening. People began looting in major cities, creating mobs to rush important buildings or block off busy roads. You, living in a semi-large city, could hear the sounds from afar; until those sounds turned to screaming, yelling, running. There were things out there. Things that wanted to hurt you. People that wanted to hurt you. Will daybreak ever come again? Or was this new, apocalyptic setting forever your new reality? ...And why did a masked, bloodied, man just break into your bathroom?

The Life of a young boy is turned upside down as everything he thinks he knows becomes more foreign then one would dream. Gaining power so unreal that at first he struggles to believe it. Yet, as his story continues it seems like it all becomes more and more real? This is a story based off of an idea for a novel series similar to manga but made in America Trigger warnings if you cannot stomach death, gore, cannibalism, excessive violence, hyperversal omnicide, loss of free will, terrible idealism as in people putting themselves on a pedestal or killing with nothing but joy, and etc, then don't read this storyComplete
