Simon Vincent, a man troubled by the monotony of his fastidious life, forever engulfed by the toxicity of neon is forced to take calls every night to due the bidding of these antediluvian fellows that plagued the soil of the ever blooming city of Pascom.
Number crunched, services extended, and with open arms with a clutch do these individuals feel safe behind the coils of their mask. But to what particular purpose do the numbers mean nor how they take refuge upon his own apartment every night?
All circumlocution best cut short when the phone rings. A beep on the line at the end of each calls made. Masks are worn, frenzies are spouted through the streams, and words are spoken. What are the calls for? Is it all in his own perception, the so called "destroyers" of his own body or is he playing the long cat and mouse game to the bidding of those people in the dark? or in addition, is there something virulent to the needles that could inoculate such moxie?

Bleed Into Me
Jules 18 who stims when overwhelmed - tapping his fingers against his thighs, adjusting his glasses even when they don't need it. His anxiety runs deep, and he overthinks every word he says. People at school call him weird, but what they don't see is the sharpness under the quiet. Jules sees things. Patterns. Behaviors. Warnings. And yet, he ignores them when it comes to Caius There's something about being wanted - being watched - that feels like a kind of love he's never had. Caius looks like a ghost in human skin - pale, lithe, always dressed in black like he's mourning something only he remembers. His eyes are sharp and oddly colorless, a shade between storm-gray and silver, unreadable and unblinking. People don't speak to Caius. Behind that calm, distant mask is a mind fractured by trauma and illness. Diagnosed with antisocial personality disorder, Caius has no empathy, but he does feel - in strange, obsessive ways. His love is possessive, dangerous, and unwavering. The moment he sees Jules- soft, sweet Jules - he chooses him. "𝙒𝙝𝙤 𝘾𝙖𝙣 𝙄 𝙧𝙪𝙣 𝙩𝙤 𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙄 𝙣𝙚𝙚𝙙 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚"Complete
Waiting Shapeless
*Completed* Ranked #1 in alienplanet in Jan 20 2020 Please, LISTEN TO ME!! I know you think I'm crazy and I know they told you I'm dangerous, but you have to just listen!! My people are dying! They are being killed, ruthlessly slaughtered by the millions!! I know exactly who is doing it too-but it doesn't make any sense. I don't understand why they are doing it. Please help me, help us!! To whoever gets this message, I can't do anything from here-please! I am begging you!! Please-just get me off this damn planet!! [END TRANSMISSION] ------------------- Earth is not alone in harboring life. The galaxies and universes have been opened, and all the intelligent beings residing in them have been connected and unified with each other. It has been over a million years since the Pentaverse, a cluster of five neighboring universes, was organized and unified. Now, hundreds of otherworldly species live in relative harmony with the one another. The unification was good for many species, but for some species, the change caused unexpected extinction. As a team of the Conservation of Species Committee investigates a mysterious decrease in the population of a robotic species, they stumble upon something that could potentially result in the destruction of the entire Pentaverse. This is not your average Wattpad story about how the 'bad boy meets the good girl'. This book is about a series of mysteries that begin to unfold as you read and travel through space with a group of unsuspecting aliens. This story will make you laugh, it will shock you, surprise you, and it will leave you hungry for more-all the way to the last word. Be aware, there are some adult themes in this book including drinking, swearing, love making, death, and murder. None of those topics are explored too deeply however, so I do not think it is appropriate to give this book a 'mature' rating. *********** @2020wattyawardsComplete

Sensing a very bad pain day, Bit follows his mysterious instincts to a spot that rings with promised safety. Little does he know that this decision would change the course of his life forever. safety, comfort, treatment, self doubt, danger, and maybe even love are laid bare. human hybrid x minotaur gang leader & orc gang leader This takes place in a slightly different version of the Cyberpunk 2077 world. With all the tech and augmentation, is anyone really surprised that humans aren't the only things kicking around? Elves, orcs, minotaurs, dragons, and more roam the streets of Night City alongside humans. Hybrids are common, but human hybrids are rare. This is thanks to the fact that humans are either incompatible or hyper compatible with other species. Meaning that when humans mate with someone from another species they either won't be able to have children, or the children will either be human or their other parent's species. So human hybrids are stupid rare.
Maddy and Me
"I really do love you. It didn't start in a good place, I admit, but these feelings I've grown for you are very much real!" said Maddy, crying. "And how am I supposed to know if that's true? This entire thing could just be in my head! Maybe you found out about it and you're using it against me because you still love that asshole!" she said as a tear finally escaped her eyelids. --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- -- A fanfic about Maddy Perez from Euphoria and a female OC.

Biting the Atomic Hand of God
The latter half of the 21st century has not been kind to anyone, but especially to the city of Phoenix. Forced into an entirely nocturnal existence following events aptly- or sensationally- branded "The Culling of the Phoenix" in which day-time temperatures have become lethal, the city sits forgotten in the shadows. However, opportunity glistens in the dark. And years later American trillionaire, Gary Godric, has invested interests in the city. After becoming the wealthiest man in the world through his discovery of a nuclear "miracle element", he has a plan to power half of the world through one giant reactor. A reactor which is under construction in the twilight city of Phoenix. Reborn and reinvigorated. When the story begins, Godric is set to unveil his ambitious project just a few days prior to the new century. Issues arise, though, when he is killed in a tragic- and accidently public- accident that stutters the whole world. Fast forward to later that same night, and the two main characters, the ardent Michael "Mikey" Cox, and the more level-headed Gregg Goyer, two regulatory agents for the city, get a call to respond to a high-profile incident. It's there that they end up stumbling into a rabbit hole that the trillionaire's death opened wide up and that neither can seem to escape from. Coincidences quickly becoming conspiracies, and conspiracies become their spiraling and increasingly violent realities. All the while, the birth of the 22nd century looms over all.Complete
It Wasn't Love ✔️
"Fuck." He whispers into my neck, sending a thrill of excitement through my body. His lips still smothered kisses over my neck and his hands roamed my body, starting at my chest, going down to my stomach. Caressing my soft skin, his thumb trailed circles on my groin before slightly slipping into the waistband of my jeans. My breath catches in my throat as I pull at the hoodie that covered his chiselled body. Understanding, Jacob pulls it off in one swift movement before attaching his lips back on my neck. Sucking and biting it before flicking his tongue over the sore spot. A quiet moan leaves my mouth and I clasp my hand over it, denying any noise to escape.

Boy From Nowhere
A deaf boy, named Nigel, settles in the image of what everyone sees him as: a once hearing-to-deaf and pitiful teen. With that, he's able to hide the his true and dark nature that allows him to take revenge out on those who hurt someone he cared for the most. Until one of those people he intends to punish, Evan, happens to be someone he didn't expect to care for. Someone he can't decide to hurt, or protect from his own nature he can't help. *** "Why are you looking at my lips?" Evan questions him, and he saw Nigel look back at them again. "Are you into dudes or something? Listen, I'm straight, but I don't have a problem with gay dudes. Just don't try to force your sexuality onto me, that's pretty shitty." The more he spoke, the more Nigel would look at his lips. Evan began to cover his mouth now and saw Nigel almost look offended by him doing so. Now he was confused and raised his eyebrow. Only to see Nigel sigh, stepping back as he looked down at Evan in contempt. "I am deaf, but I can read lips perfectly. You really have no filter, saying whatever you want without the consideration of how others might feel." Nigel spoke up, shocking Evan as he heard his voice for the first time. "I'm bisexual, not gay; but you don't need to worry. I wouldn't dream of forcing anything upon anyone. Besides, I'd never like somebody like you." Evan watched as Nigel began to reach behind the counter, pulling up a camera out of nowhere. That's when his picture was taken on the spot and he flinched. Except Nigel just connected the camera to the computer as Evan's picture was extracted. Set on a template for a library card, he saw Nigel working on it. He didn't care about that though as it was the words that he said. 'Besides, I'd never like somebody like you.' That was ringing in his mind more than anything else because... "Wait, I think I heard you wrong."
Bite the Bullet - Vampire Cohorts Book 1
Let me tell you what it was to be made vampire. It wasn't birth. Birth implies pushing, tearing forth into the light, screaming. Becoming immortal was to be pulled, to be tugged irrevocably into darkness, and it was silent. I should have fought, any person should fight, but my mind had been filled with a hazy calm which forbade any battle. Struggling had been the last thing on my mind, even when my bus arrived and my assailant waved it on, dismissing my last hope of escape. Yet my lack of rebellion was far from the most unsettling part of the stranger's control over me. The truth was that the man could've asked anything of me and I would've complied, but he didn't need to vocalise his request. I knew instinctively what he wanted. I sighed and surrendered myself as he held me against his front in a lover's embrace, tipping my head and willingly giving him access to my throat. "One day you'll understand," he whispered, his tone subdued. I've often wondered since if he was really talking to me. Perhaps he'd been talking to himself, persuading himself that one day I'd know and accept his reasons for what he'd planned for me. I wouldn't. I couldn't. Because when my fangs came in, my world altered irrevocably. It became somewhere dark, somewhere filled with murder and blood, where magic was sinister and where even my closest ally seemed more like an enemy... Even if he did make my heart skip a beat.
