I wrote this many, many years ago. It's an unfinished first draft and I thought it would be fun to update it. It's middle grade fiction, but I hope everyone will give it a read.

Here's the premise:

Lost in Lagos: The Mission is Possible Series

From flying bullets to flying bugs, can a twelve-year-old American boy and his sister survive in Africa without their parents or will they be lost in Lagos forever?

Twelve-year-old Chance Starbuck resents leaving his comfortable American life so his parents could become missionaries in Nigeria. When he and his younger sister get lost in the Lagos airport, he has bigger things to worry about. Alone in a foreign country, they battle guards with guns, giant bugs and street gangs all while learning to rely on God to keep them safe until they are reunited with their parents.

Please comment on the story, characters, and writing! This was going to be the first in a series called "The Mission Is Possible." Adventures about two Missionary kids.Bảo Lưu Mọi Quyền

COMING FROM AFRICA [Completed] bởi Ifunanya_aa

*NOT EDITED.* *•••••*I've heard a lot about Abroad. The US specifically... Can you imagine my surprise when my mom told my sister and I one evening that she has been transferred to the US to work?! *•••••* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *•••••*My name is Ijeoma, and yes, I'm African. Nigerian specifically. I have always heard stories of how America is. I have watched a lot of foreign movies as well, so when my mom informed us of her transfer, my thoughts were 'Hey I've got this. It's just like in the movies. I can handle them.' What I didn't know was that the movies exaggerate about some of the stuff there. A lot of the stuff there. How the hell am I supposed to survive in this ridiculous place? A place where all my training and manners cannot be used? GOD HELP ME! *•••••* TO THE GOOD READER: THIS IS MY WORK...IF YOU SEE OR HAVE SEEN THIS STORY SOMEWHERE ELSE, PLEASE DO WELL TO INFORM ME😁 TO THE DING DONG WHO TRIES TO STEAL MY WORK: I WILL HUNT YOU DOWN AND RUIN YOU🙂

Outside the walls bởi midnightkathryn

War had just broke out between the states of America. Two states remained. Yet only one wins. One state had won by peace and one state had won by destruction. The day of the fight, the state of distinction launched a nuke. Yet they had under estimated the power the nuke had. It destroyed both states and it had seemed that no one remained. 3 years latter and a little city had grown out of the destruction. Emma was a resident of that city. Emma had a different childhood than most. "Go fetch the food!" or "Go get the water!" Were the most of chores she had to do. It was grow up fast or die in her city! On Emma's 17 birthday she would be old enough to go out side of the city walls and look for communication to other parts of the world. They had found a part of a cell tower that would finish off there hand made cell tower and needed a search crew to go get it and bring it back. Emma now being old enough she tried out. She had never been outside the city walls. We're most of the adventures have already gone once or twice. Most people have said that they should not send the youngest age, and they just might be right... because Emotions, Guys, and family are all in her way.

The Attached bởi rayehalabuza

**Featured Story on Wattpad Mystery & Young Adult** "I will always be there for you." "So will I. You will always be my brother." Down beyond an empty field, in an underground bunker, there lives two teenage boys who have spent most of their lives together. Who have spent most of their lives locked up and trapped. And the older they get, the more determined and impatient they grow to escape. With multiple plans failing over the years, their hope slowly begins to diminish, as they almost grow to call their captivity their home. However, finally when one of their escape plans succeeds, only one is able to get away, as he runs towards the safety of his old town. Returning back to a family and city who thought he was long gone, they try to get him back to his old life, and settle him in again. Although the longer he stays in the town, the more he thinks about his "brother" he left behind in the bunker, as he is willing to risk his life one more time, in order to save him as well.

They've ranged from dog walking to selling drugs on the street. She's in no way proud of this, but she did what she did in order to protect herself and Charlotte. She's been arrested many times, in countless fist-fights protecting her "sister" from creepy foster siblings. But when she turns eighteen and finally frees her and Charlotte from their latest "Family from Hell" and books it three thousand miles all the way to Oregon, things finally start to look up.

Default Title - The Next Bride bởi bluestockings90

In a typical African setting a girl must be married at a certain age. It's almost like her life is programmed "what to do, when to do,how to do and with whom". In the Northern part of Nigeria people see an unmarried girl of 25years and above as a failure to her religion,culture,family,society and herself. The so called society forgets the struggles of the "unmarried girl" what she goes through emotionally, what she thinks, things she has to do to keep a relationship just to be married, decisions they make to make people around them happy, but the truth is every single girl has a story good or bad and all she needs is someone not to judge but to have a little empathy and know that she didn't plan her life. This book however is a fictional but relatable story, the story is about four young girls who have been more of sisters than friends for so many years, in good times and bad times. Their friendship was what they have for each other but like many friendships it was tested. Was it that their love wasn't love after all or was their bond not strong enough? In the end these girls made decisions that broke the ties, what they built and the future of their sisterhood. They become victims of a desperate society that keeps asking"who is The Next Bride".

What Lasts in Us bởi monstrousbeauty

**COMPLETED** Several years after the world succumbed to a deadly strain of measles that turned those infected into crazed, mindless cannibals, Charlotte wanders the backroads alone, content with surviving day-to-day. That is until she crosses paths with Nate and his daughter, Emmi. Emmi is not and cannot be vaccinated against the disease, so the only way to protect her and give her some kind of life is to reunite her with her estranged mother in a quarantine zone on the other side of the country. Charlotte wants nothing to do with Nate or the girl who looks like her dead sister. She does not want to go through the grief of losing people again if something bad was to happen. And something bad does happen when Emmi is kidnapped, and it is no one's fault but Charlotte's. Through this obligation alone, Charlotte feels like it is her responsibility to get Emmi back, to right her wrong. In helping Nate pursue his kidnapped daughter, Charlotte inadvertently allows herself to feel again, to care for those other than herself. But with the clock ticking, Charlotte's new found family may just end up like her own, dead and destroyed, if Emmi is exposed to the disease that her father tried so hard to protect her from.
