New York isn't the place it once was. The high-rises are gone, the world is bankrupt, and survival is hard to come by. But then again humans always adapt, so monetizing the most precious commodity - blood - was only the natural step.All Rights Reserved

The Creations [Getting Rewritten] by NaniSoreh

(The whole story is currently getting rewritten, maybe we can wait until August 9, 2024) Mysterious world, mysterious mysteries. Let's just keep moving forward until there's nothing else left, you were just c̶r̶e̶a̶t̶e̶d̶ born in the most dangerous world as it all happened because of how uncontrollable your emotions are, try remembering everything to only find out that it will always be the same even if you do something different.

Blood Money by Mbalezinhle90

A short cut in life has never been an option. Spilling of blood for surviving has never been an option. No matter how rocky your life can get never turn to annihilate, never turn to annulling. Every output have it's consequences.

The High Life by MP5183

Maddy, Cat, Isabelle and Lucy. Our lives are a whirlwind of parties, sex, drinking and drugs, all wrapped up in a billion-dollar bow. We're the it girls of New York, and it's not as glamorous as you think. People say more money, more problems, but for me, it's more money and one problem. One that I can't escape. *** I thought it was a cruel prank someone had played on me, but after going so long without one, I thought I had moved past it. I had done the work with my therapist, working through the constant anxiety, stress and paranoia I experienced after just two incidents. I thought I had managed it, that I had overcome it. But here I was. Kneeling on the floor, unable to move while my blood stained our new carpet. Right back at square one.
