Two brothers, fired up with motorbikes, beer, women and the reckless relish of a summer night. A night which ends with the death of a policeman. As vehicles blaze Dave gives himself up so that Jamie can escape. Dave’s life spirals downwards. He disappears down south, while Jamie goes on to complete his law degree. A decade later he becomes first Prime Minister of a newly independent Scotland. Political horsetrading leads to a referendum on capital punishment. The public is shocked by a brutal sexual murder the night before the vote, and to the politicians’ horror the death penalty is reintroduced. The killer has been caught red-handed, and the hours tick by as the legal process draws closer to the time of his execution. But when the Prime Minister receives a plea for clemency he discovers that he and the killer are linked by unbreakable bonds from that summer of heedless abandon - and more than one life may be at stake….

Stupendous piece of storytelling - brilliant writing.
Massive creative energy.

Peony Blooms in Blood de karinberry

ONC2025 Prompt 126: Because you're you, and I'm me, and we just don't fit. Prompt 120: The door that closed to you many years ago has reopened, and now it's up to you to take a chance once more. After doing time for beating a prostitute into a week hospital stay, Jesse Carrick loses everything-her job at Stanford University, her future, and the last shred of a normal life. But when a call from Himari drags her back into the underworld of Japan, she realizes the past isn't done with her yet. Kidnapped. Sold into a trafficking ring. Trapped on a ship bound for hell. After Jesse fights to survive 19 brutal days at Japan, she writes: a letter for every day spent in Japan, unraveling the truth she never wanted to face. The ghosts of her past are waiting. But survival isn't just about escape. It's about fixing what can be fixed. It's about Aaron Chaves, the man she left behind. The man she never stopped thinking about. As the days pass, her letters test everything they thought they knew-about love, about trust, about whether second chances mean a damn thing. In 19 days, Jesse's world shatters. Now, she has to decide whether to rebuild it-or burn it all to the ground. A story of survival, revenge, and redemption, Peony Blooms in Blood dives deep into the wreckage of a love that refuses to die and the chaos of choosing the right path-when the world wants to keep you lost.

Bryan Brent(The U-Turn) de MystiquCal

Four good hours gone and yet nothing - no solution. I kicked a chair in my office hard sending it flying through an empty space as it crashed to the floor. Shelving off all the documents on my table to the floor, I created a perfect mess. The feeling of frustration engulfed me, tightening all the muscles in my body. It was like I was having a panic attack. I quickly helped myself to the bottle of whisky on the bar and drank uncontrollably from it. I remembered the last time I drank this way and what happened. But at this moment, all I needed was to forget everything that was happening. Closing my eyes briefly to relieve all of the tension, I opened them again but the pain was still there, the reality of my loss was dawning on me completely and I was helpless. 'Desperate times calls for desperate measures' that's what they say. Bryan a twenty-seven years old billionaire had a perfect life until Maryrose Brent, his mother decides to show up after ten years and a supposed dead uncle finally resurrects. Suddenly his perfect life takes a U-Turn and begins to crumble bit by bit before his eyes. Could it all be a mere coincidence or is there someone truly behind all of the happenings? And how far, are they willing to take it? Perhaps, till the last breath is sucked out of his body. [Unedited] Started February 2020 Ended July 2020 Word count [144,591]

Exit to the Right ✔️ de A_Bone

(complete) Sex, intrigues, lies - the Game is like normal politics, just that now people lose their brain over it. Macbeth meets House of Cards and Game of Thrones in a fantastic ride to the Brexit referendum battled out in the reality TV show environment of The Game. After taking home a surprise victory in the national audience-vote of the popular international TV show The Game, David, the leader of one of the two participating UK teams, The Tortoises, and one of his council members, Ed, are brutally murdered in bed. The police arrests Ed's brother William, in what seems to be a fight over positions gone fatally wrong. The murder opens the way for Boris to the top, an ambitious man pushed by his clever wife, Theresa. What few know, the police have neither the right murderer or motive. The magic of the murders hatches a far greater risk for humans and their brains. But two out of the three initially setting out to stop what is happening, Justin and Matis, haven't yet coped with their own deaths nor with the prospect of an eternity together, while their boss, Hel, puts her father's safety before the task. Whether or not they get their act together though, it soon becomes clear that the job demands a bigger crew as their true opponent is very familiar to them and has never been beaten yet. Exit to the Right kicks off a series. In its course, it becomes clear that the 'zombie virus' rather than destroying brains, manipulates the humans' emotion-based value system to send humankind back in time without ever leaving the path to the future. The wheel of time with the rise and fall of human consciousness needs to be broken for the world to have a chance to fulfill its promise.
