This story is based on one of M. Kirin's writing prompts. It follows a bank robber from the old west, who has been executed for his crimes, on his journey into the afterlife.
**Note: Afterclaps is, what I believe to be, old western slang for "unexpected happenings after an event is supposed to be over."
Criticism of any kind would be much appreciated.
Enjoy.

...and Death Was a Thing that Couldn't Stand Itself ...
The book narrates the after-life misadventures of Frank, a drug addict who dies of sepsis. He accidentally discovers a serial killer whom he eventually decides to kill. He is somewhat aided by the Assyrian deity Pazuzu and a psychic, one-armed girl he befriends. The tone is quite irreverent and there's plenty of tongue-in-cheek but there's a pervasive paranormal/horror element, as well as strong philosophical overtones. I plan to add a chapter every couple of days or so. There are nine chapters in total. Or maybe eight. It doesn't matter. You get the point.Complete

Hidden (Papa IV X Male)
*THIS STORY IS REMAINING UNFINISHED* An aspiring and burnt out writer finds inspiration for their new book in the old ghost stories of their hometown. Namely, a secret cult hiding out in the woods. In an attempt to search for this group, he is thrust into an unfamiliar world of sin and, surprisingly, compassion. *I DO NOT OWN THE CHARACTERS OF THE BAND GHOST* *this story does not use the Y/N format but the main character is purposefully pretty undeveloped as of now to make up for that* This story contains heavy language, sexual themes and innuendos, and other adult themes. Discretion is advised. I am a fairly young writer, so constructive criticism and suggestions are welcome and encouraged!Complete![The Secret in East End [Agents of the Crown #1]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/76802146-256-k746550.jpg)
The Secret in East End [Agents of the Crown #1]
A FEATURED STORY IN HISTORICAL FICTION HIGHEST RANKING #7 in HISTORICAL FICTION --- Ellie had been undercover for most of her life. She had been a pickpocket for as far as she can remember, under the guise of Elliot. Any memory before the age of ten was blank in her head, with no recollection of how she had ended up under the charge of a gang of street rats as a child. Her life was meant to be mundane, as long as she remained under her secret identity. Until she tried to steal from the wrong pockets that is. --- Fabian Rothesay, the new Duke of Avondale, had spent the last 2 years rebuilding the coffers of his father, in order to ensure that the Avondale estate was not about to crumble around their feet. Taking over his father's spot as the Duke had not been an easy task, but in his doing so for the past 2 years, he has raised as one of the most eligible bachelors of the ton. What the ton doesn't know is that Fabian is biting to return to his previous life. What people believed to be a holiday around the continent, was actually Fabian's cover as he worked as an Agent of the Crown. His new status as a Duke however, did not make him want to step down as an Agent just yet, especially with a recent case that specifically embroils a series of planned heists within the ton. --- As the two are thrown together in a series of circumstances that was mostly chance, sometimes fate, and with a dash of secrecy, how would the turmoil change their lives?Complete
