FIRE / RESCUE
I invite you on a world wind tour through my career as a Firefighter. There’s everything from happy times to unbelievable horror and all of it is in the real world. The stories in my book are true. They are calls that I ran on over the course of my career. I’ve seen more than most, being that I was on two fire departments, taught as a state certified instructor, worked for an ambulance company and even worked in a trauma emergency room and ICU ward.
There is a lot of death and destruction in the book. There is even times I got screwed over by my fellow Firefighters who I thought was supposed to be a family. All the while I was in it to help people and be the best Firefighter I could be. This is my story…

A Garden of Dead Things
This book is my life laid bare - a story of pain, loneliness, and mental chaos that most people don't see. It's about the slow, unbearable unravelling of a mind caught in the grips of depression, anxiety, trauma, and heartbreak. There's no sugarcoating here. No fairy tales or hopeful endings. This is a glimpse into what it feels like to be completely lost inside yourself, where every day is a battle to hold on, even when you don't know what you're holding onto anymore. I write about the nights filled with overwhelming silence that screams louder than any words. About the weight of memories and pain so heavy it crushes the light out of your life. This story doesn't shy away from the darkest parts: the thoughts that haunt you, the self-hate that grows quietly, the invisible scars left by emotional abuse and trauma. It's about fighting to survive when it feels like there's nothing left inside you but broken pieces. But more than that, it's about the truth of living with a mind that doesn't always want to be healed, a heart that keeps breaking even when you try to protect it, and a soul that longs for peace but only finds pain. I'm not telling this story for sympathy or comfort. I'm telling it because this is real. Because sometimes, the only way to breathe is to say out loud what hurts the most. If you're tired of pretending everything's okay, if you've ever felt like no one truly understands the storm inside your head, then this book is for you. It's not easy to read - but it's real, and it's mine. Welcome to my garden of dead things.
Storm Of Pain
Have you ever seen your life flash before your eyes? Seen all the good memories with you and your friends and loved ones just pass in a few split seconds before the moment comes where you know you'll die? Where you determine if it's going to be a quick or slow and painful death? Well then, same. I risk my life on a daily bases saving others, strangers, kids, families, anyone my team and I can help ranging from terrorist attacks to bombs to pretty much anything. The training that I received a few years ago allows me to do that, it allows me to be the best person that I can be, if I could go back to the day I joined the military I wouldn't change a single thing; the only thing I would've changed in my journey is to have looked after her better. To have kept her safe. But life had other plans with both of us... ***** All ideas in this book are thought of by me. Nothing has been based of another book. If something is the same as another's, it purely coincidental. *Don't copy from my book *Don't report my book because of a few violent scenes *My book is copyrighted.

Comatose
The author is dying. That's all we know. Everything we've ever known is falling apart. But we know how to save the author. Only we can save the author. By we, I mean every story that the author has ever told. Every story and every person in those stories all have to come together and work together so we can all stay alive. Otherwise we're all just a fictional character on a piece of paper, or some even... not alive. Some not even real anywhere but the author's mind. There's so few of those anyway. But the weird thing is... we're all existing outside of the author's head. I dont know how, but we're all in different places. Half of my own crew I found in the hospital came out of closets and restricted areas and even bathrooms (some even with people in the stalls...) We shouldn't be alive, but we are. And we have to save the author, in order to stay alive. For the author's family. For the author's readers. For our own sake of existence.

The Reck
Hello. My name is Thomas. I started this book when I was 14 years old. In 2024, I am 16 years old, amd still working on it. I just thought of a theme and just started writing. This book will seem like it was all true, but it isn't. I am in foster care. I wish this story was true. But it is not anything that happened in real life. All I know is that I really wish it was true. I hope everyone enjoys it.Complete
Rant Time
This is a book of all my rants. It contains basically everything that annoys me or just pisses me off. It's not only what people do in real life, but also what people do on Wattpad. I do curse a lot, so watch out for that. UPDATE: As of 11/26/15, this book is complete! Rant Time 2 is the next one, in case you're wondering!Complete

Flip Sides Of The Same Coin We Call Life
This romance autobiography is an accumulation of over 15 years of writings. I'm 72 and have experienced many wonderful, beautiful, educational, and enlightening moments. I've also endured the dark night of the soul where nothing means anything, all hope is gone, unrelenting loneliness and extremely deep re-occurring depressions. Flip sides of the same coin we call life. I've survived impossible accidents that should have killed me. I've filed bankruptcy twice, loosing half a million dollars of real estate. I haven't had a car in 10 years, rent a furnished apartment and all I own is a cellphone, television, and computer. I've had 20 different careers. Naming a few, I've been a foreman in a steel foundry, automobile salesman, district manager overseeing a 15-million-dollar territory, owner of a television/appliance retail company, store manager responsible for 80 employees, retail manager in the cellular industry, and a dealer for one of the largest casinos in the nation. Some of the wise decisions I thought I was making turned out to be really ridiculous. When writing these down, I wondered how on earth could I have possibly been that stupid. You'll find many that are quite hilarious. I started jotting down thoughts on a cell phone memo pad over 15 years ago. These writings have turned into eighteen manuscripts. An author has the natural talent to paint pictures with words; I do not possess that skill set. Quite by accident, I've developed into a writer. We are entering into an era of magnificent beauty, perfect harmony, perpetual joy, growing wisdom, pure truth, unending peace and unconditional love. You'll read of miracles that I and others have personally witnessed. There are no other logical explanations for what occurred. I've documented everything as accurately as memory permits. Read with an open mind and develop your own conclusions. Our awakening transcendence is occurring now. BobComplete
