We'll shoot the cutty wren! said John the Red Nose
And who'll get the spare ribs? said Milder to Moulder
Oh we may not tell you! said Festel to Fose
We'll give them all to the poor! said John the Red Nose
It has been three years since the hubristic upstart General Källe arranged the assassination of Rickson and became the next leader of the state. His charm crackles over the crowds when he speaks, his smile ignites smouldering patriotism in a million hearts. Behind the fragile facade, he is fragmented, relying on whiskey and a powerful stimulant known as Neurospeed to even make it through the day. When the American Alliance invades the oblast of Arkhangelsk, powerful memories of his long-dead father return, and his already fractured personality fragments until only a husk remains.

The first of it's kind ~ Awakening in B - 094 263
A static noise echoes in my ear, then an indistinct silence announces itself. "...Holt! Can you hear me? Answer me! Mr. Holt!" I want to say something, but all that escapes my lips is a groan. I feel like throwing up right here and now. "Mr. Holt, answer me!" "What..." I gasp and blink. "There he is, sir. He's answering," it crackles in my ear and I raise my hand to my temple with a groan. ------------------------------------------ America in the year 2095: A convicted murderer is offered freedom. In return, however, he must carry out a reconnaissance mission that turns out to be a true horror. He is catapulted through a portal into another world and discovers firstly that he has undergone a devastating change and secondly that America in this other world is more like a dictatorship. With a ruler who thinks rather inferiorly of his and other cases and abuses them as test objects. ------------------------------------------- Trigger warning: chapters may contain intense violence, blood and profanity (...) ------------------------------------------ The book contains two parts. The first has already been completed, the second is currently still in progress. ------------------------------------------ Cover and title as well as the content itself are first drafts. I am therefore open to suggestions, comments and criticism and hope to be able to improve this book.

The Queen of the Desert
Jane is simply trying to survive. In a world of nuclear post-apocalypse, blood-crazed Objectivists, immortality-seeking cultists, NFT-obsessed killbots, power-hungry narcissists, and nymphomaniac Anarchists. A stoic soldier with a heart of gold. How long will she go on until the past catches up with her? 10,500 words of visceral action, black humor, and extreme weirdness. The story is SUPER silly, but it has an important purpose. I'm only publishing it to raise funds for my hometown in Ukraine. As a city of 300,000 on the eastern border, Sumy was one of the first to be attacked by the Russian army. For more than a month, we suffered from airstrikes, artillery, blockades, and hunger. The city was encircled, yet it never fell. Now that Russians have retreated, we see death and destruction across the whole region. The Sumy volunteer community created a charity fund to help us survive, rebuild, and protect against the new attacks. Our website https://www.fond.sumy.ua/ lists different ways you can help the Sumy region. You can choose to donate specifically for: - Medicine - First aid kits - Optics - Communication devices - Armor plates for the territorial defense - Other needs (including clothing and food for the elderly, disabled, and most vulnerable people). Like many of you I've been a pacifist for my entire life, but now the only way to stop these horrors is to ensure Ukrainians have enough weapons to defend themselves. So if you want to help the Ukrainian army, the best way is to donate to the country's biggest charity fund Come Back Alive (https://www.comebackalive.in.ua/). Over the past 8 years, they've collected over $20 million donations and have a crystal-clear reputation. Please, donate if you enjoyed my story. And if you found it to be the shittiest thing ever written - roast me in public or in person - and I'll double your donation;) Raise the awareness! Now every penny, every word can save a life.

"Goodbye Curly Head"
Through thick and thin the Law shall prevail. A new sense of purpose awaits us, children of light, in the land where it all began. The darkness in which we once cowered in fear, now curbed by the might of our endless light. Come, brothers, come, sisters. Let there be peace among the wicked, just as the Law dictates. Peace and certainty is all that you have ever longed for, little angel. A bright, stable future. A roof without holes above thy head. Acknowledgement and recognition of thy existence, feverish dreams of grandeur. Greed born from yearning, treacherous vines of rapacity taint your innocent soul. You seek a future that does not exist. Let thy fingers hold the fragile line between dream and nightmare. Let thy light navigate the path. Shall thee give in and falter, O' land of old, envelop his body in thy unending flame of chaos. Spit out nothing but an empty husk, the remnants of a smile once so bright. Shall thee prevail, O', Great Kazdel, I ask of you, the impossible - take mercy on the innocent. Don't let the radiance dim and don't let the mind turn bleak. Wake, young traveler. Bid thy farewells and burn thy bridges. It's time to say goodbye, curly head. Cross post from AO3. For a shorter and more on-point description, look no further! I had something silly written up before throwing it out in exchange for that wall of text upstairs. It's a little story "about a young, dumb sankta who's been dealt a bad hand at life, looking for his place in all this mess. The pointless search for a better future leads him far, far away from home, to a country forever ravaged by war and misery - Kazdel, the promised land where devils roam free and peace feels out of place." Anyway, it's quite lengthy, but hopefully enjoyable? Slide a comment if you want, I'll give you a tiny kiss on the forehead. Man, do I love comments. (Lastly, to point out, English is not my native language, but I don't think it'll be much of an issue ;3)Complete
Something in the Orange | ghost x soap ✓
Being a part of Captain Price's Special Task Force 141 was no easy work. Often away from loved ones for extended amounts of times, dropped in the middle of nowhere, with intelligence that could crumble life and society as we know it today or could launch another world war with only your closest battle buddies being there to support you; sometimes it was someone you had only known for six months being on your six and trusting they were going to get you out alive. Being killed or captured was always a threat and work was never easy. Missions often went sideways, and you sometimes only had the supplies in your bag with the clothes on your back. Blood often stained the hands of the members of the 141, they flirted with the grim reaper often, and any distractions could risk your life on the field. So why couldn't the tall Manchester rainstorm get the short Scotland sunshine out of his head?

"I open my eyes and exhale, searching the room to determine what is amiss. Nothing. Nothing but the dust and the air. And yet, something lingers, something unsettling and alarming and indistinct all at the same time." - Humans are savage, perhaps the most savage creature of all. We substituted claws for weapons. Our bodies were cold so we killed for the fur of animals better than we. We created laws, religions, false ideologies - and we believe ourselves superior while we war with each other over land we do not own and things we cannot control. For all intents and purposes, we should have died out before we even began - but we became the best. Top of the food chain. And then there was the prophecy. And the food chain became irrelevant. And humanity became irrelevant. Because with the prophecy came the power to destroy the human race. Or the power to change it.Complete

Suddenly you're apart of Task force 141 searching for a shipment of highly dangerous missiles that never arrived to their destination.
