The gods want him gone. The Gateway wants him claimed.
And Milo must decide whether to cross the bridge-or defy the Veil entirely.
----
Milo has been sick for nearly two weeks, but it's just the flu-at least, that's what he keeps telling himself. Until one winter night, a glass of water in the kitchen becomes his last conscious act. In the hospital, surrounded by loved ones, kicking back and sipping pina coladas with the God of Death while in a coma- life should be good, right? Wrong.
Somehow, someway, Milo- twenty something, blondie with the steely eyes- has angered the very gods that the earth depends on. And now, they want him gone.

"You will do something extraordinary - You will save humanity." ~☆ When the land was barren and empty, 4 deities known as the Divines ruled the earth. Healing, tranquillity, strength, and justice. And though they ruled with prosperity and protection, humans soon discovered they had free will, and their greed grew heavy. And so, the Divines were slaughtered and hunted for their power. The greed of the humans disgusted the Incubator, the creator of everything. So, they created a new being to take over, freedom. He revived the Divines and granted a new era of peace and prosperity upon the land. But every good thing has its evil, chaos. The Incubator made sure it couldn't do anything to their creations, so they sent it to an eternal prison where it could do no harm to humanity. And now, every few years, the Incubator selects a human to prove humanities worth to venture into the earth's core and eliminate the Harbinger of Chaos from all of its evil. Yet, the chosen ones failed. Until now. Their names are Mark and Bob.

"You were worried about me, Specs?" He smirked. "No, Tyler. I hoped that someone cut up your corpse and fed it to paranas. Obviously I was, you idiot! I'm a doctor. Worrying about people is kind of programmed into my system. It's a curse if you ask me," I surprised myself a lot more than I thought was possible with my answer. And what did he do? Laugh! He fucking laughed! Not full on rolling- on- the- floor laughter but a laugh nonetheless. "This isn't funny, Tyler." "It kind of is. Almost a month ago, I would've sworn that you hated me. Be careful, Specs," he squinted down at me, "or you might actually sound as if you like me." I rolled my eyes. "Don't flatter yourself. I was concerned. Don't confuse that with affection. It's two very, very different things." *** When you think that all is not lost in the world. That not all men are pricks and that not all sushi is bad. When you think that there is a light, no matter how dim, at the end of the tunnel. When you think that life isn't the ruthless bitch you've always thought it was... It turns around and bites you in the ass. When you think that the past will always and forever remain where it should be... It comes at you from every direction. Like a violent tsunami destroying everything...and everyone in it's path. Can you change what happened? I wish. Can you stop what's going to happen? God! I really hope so.Complete

As Milo struggles to understand their plans and what they mean for the world, he realizes that the stakes are higher than he could have ever imagined. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "For as long as he lived and the many troubles he had. Milo had never once considered suicide a viable option. However, as of late, the wicket idea would simply pass threw his thoughts. He had never been in so much pain. He had never felt so alone. But the better question was. Would it even be possible? If he had really thought about it. If it was something he really wanted. Was there a way to kill him? He thought not, but surely nothing can last forever, not even him." (Disclaimer, I'm not great at spelling or grammar. I cannot get a professional editor, But I did my best.)Complete
The Waiting Room
When Milo dies, he expects peace. Maybe a harp. Maybe a cloud. What he gets instead is a dusty chair in a room full of forgotten souls... and a giant screen showing his family living without him. They cry. They laugh. They move on. But Milo can't. Trapped in the Waiting Room-a place between life and whatever comes next-he watches his wife and daughter heal, joke, and slowly forget him. Around him, other ghosts bicker, haunt, and try to make sense of their own unfinished stories. Some are hilarious. Some are terrifying. One might be evil. As Milo struggles with being forgotten, he discovers a secret: there's a door at the end of the room. No one knows where it leads. But Milo is ready to find out-even if it means breaking every rule of the afterlife. Funny, scary, and heartbreakingly human, The Waiting Room is a ghost story that will make you laugh, cry, and maybe call someone you love.Complete
Contraindication
[WATTYS 2022 SHORTLIST] "Hello again, Pizza Boy?" I glanced up at him with a smile. The blood was rushing out my head but it didn't bother me. "Are you back to make another attempt on my life?" "Shut up," he fumbled, absolutely petrified. "I-I hate you!" I laughed as we were both red in the face; one more sticky then the other, "Aww, I hate you too." My hands held my non-beating chest. "It's mutual trust me. But I guess you really want your Xbox back huh?" -- 17 year-old Evelyn Gates has a quiet yet witty personality. She usually stays in the background and is mediocre at literally everything... just ask anyone. She enjoys the smell of pizza and watching Guy Fieri stuff his face with food in her free time. Oh, and there's one more thing... she's immortal. That's right, Evelyn can't die, and she doesn't know why. Her body just magically puts itself back together again after tragic incidents. She calls it a curse, but the one other person who knows about it calls it a miracle. It's not until her pizza order turns deadly and her mom's boyfriend changes his outlook on life, when Evelyn finds out that there might be some more people involved with her immortality; people who are puppeteering her life and will stop at nothing but to destroy her. - Featured on: @TeenFiction 'FunnyBones' reading list: October 6th, 2021 @StoriesUndiscovered 'The Power of Laughter' reading list: June 1st -30th, 2021 -- Since mock websites are becoming more common, unfortunately, I have to give the disclaimer that this story is only being published on Wattpad.
