There are things in this world that we, as humans, choose to turn a blind eye to in the interest of our own selfish desires. Things that can ultimately blacken your soul and corrupt you from the inside out as the City of Danville soon realizes.

The city, once a shining example of beauty and perfection, giving way to become nothing more than a crime riddled cesspool. With the city approaching what very well could be the point of no return, an intervening hand steps in to give Danville one last shot at Redemption. But, the redemption that this helping hand offers isn't the kind that one would expect. 

Plans ultimately unfold and lives are destroyed as Danville is taken to its breaking point and converges on being torn apart by the very seams that held it so tightly together. 

Which offers up the city a question: How far is one truly willing to go to sacrifice it all for one last chance at Redemption?All Rights Reserved

What Lies in Lisa Lake by RyanTheBedgood

Returning since my departure in the book I wrote called Dev-Devine Intervention. Driving Across country from Oxnard, California to Middletown, Pennsylvania in my 1995 ford explorer. Coming full circle since leaving in the traumatic fashion. I would return to battle the demons I left a year prior. In fact a lot would change in a course of a year. My return would send shock waves through the community as my ex would transition into a female half assed since my departure. Leaching on his new host of convenience. I would start to rebuild my life by living in my car before getting a supervisor position with Sheetz. Along the way fate and rekindling friendship would bring me back to Lisa Lake. Juggling the heavy demand of my job that would work me 9pm-7:30am most days; the yelling that would affect my sleep. A visit at the Hershey Medical Center would result in a trust fall onto the concrete surface below. Partially unconscious I would get tossed around like a pizza from machine to machine. Head injury that would result in my inability to return to work and subsequently let go of my position. A turn of my luck I decided to refocus my purpose in earning my keep in where I am living. Accommodating the elderly couple and making their lives better in order to restore peace in the household. However, the dark truth is unraveling the scam behind the abuse of a 70 year old woman. How she was trapped in a marriage of convenience for her husband; The abuse that she was suffering from and how people with a hidden agenda took advantage of her with the help of her foolish husband. Understanding how it took my hard work to save her from the hell of her husband's creation. Eliminating the leaches one by one. Nobody should abuse the elderly and nobody should profit from the abuse of the elderly. I bring everything hidden in the darkness. To the light.

Once Upon a Deadland by AlveenWoro

Who holds the pen that writes reality? Our world is bound by a silent covenant of laws-mathematical, physical, undeniable. But these laws are not graven in stone. They are written in a script that can, under terrible duress, be rewritten. When this happens, the first crime is not against a person, but against existence itself. In the Island State of Blaqountee, this ultimate transgression is unfolding. A nameless dread settles over the streets like fog. The people feel it in their bones: the baseline of 'what is' is shifting beneath them. A memory that three people share-but only two remember. A door that opened east yesterday, opens west today. The city's underworld notices first. When the rules bend, power flows to those who see it happening. They are not facing annihilation. They are facing something older and more patient: erasure. History rewritten. Physical laws negotiated. The architecture of being itself, edited by a hand they cannot see. Multiple lives. Multiple agendas. A shattered criminal mastermind fighting to impose his vision of what must be. Detectives hunting a killer through crimes that defy the logic of cause and effect. Ideologues who believe reality should be rewritten. A survivor who remembers a world no one else does. Each fighting for their vision of what should be real. Each wielding their conviction as a weapon in a war that isn't fought with bullets-it's fought with narratives, competing gospels for a world coming undone. This is the labyrinth. Sanity is the cost of entry. Understanding is the cost of survival. To witness this is to see the terrible machinery behind existence. To choose a side is to become an instrument of ontological murder-or salvation. This is a war for the soul of reality itself. Who will break? Who will endure? And who will finally seize the pen?

IN SEARCH OF SALVATION by Anna_theblackrose

Salvation or Damnation? Does it matter what she choose? She's a girl with no hope, no bond, no love. She never knew love. She never had any aims regarding her future. She is passionate about one thing though: Painting-something that soothes her soul. But her life turns upside down. Life is all about money and fortune-when the realisation hits her she shatters into pieces. A favour from a millionaire lands her on a contract with the sinister force. A contract with the devil but not in exchange of her soul. A deal with certain requirements; a contract with deadly consequences. She's the one he chose. But when the question arises why, things begin to change... For better or worse. Soon things start to unravel before her eyes-things which were hidden from her for years. She welcomes the change cause she believes-A favor for a favor: Love never exists.

Human Status by DanickaCastro

I live in a world where I am nameless. I live in a world where I do not matter except or unless I am owned by someone. I do not have rights, freedoms, joys, wishes, or aspirations. I am property. I was born and raised to belong to someone that will one day take me away like the fairy tale stories that I listened to everyday in the house I live in. I prayed every night that a handsome prince would come and take me to live in his castle just like in the books. I prayed that I would be a princess and have a kingdom just like in the books. But I was never told that the books were all lies. I was never told the true reason why I was a well sought after commodity. I was never told that I am not the only one like me. When I found out it was too late to save myself. To think and in less than 4 days I will be taken away from my current home and be in a home of my own. I sat on the simple wooden bed hoping that my owner was nice and kind. I hated to think about some of the stories that I heard about the other girls like me. I hated thinking about being exterminated because I made my owner unhappy. I thought to myself that I would try real hard to keep him happy. I remember the covenant of rules that would keep me and my owner happy. I would need to follow five rules. 1. Always obey my owner. 2. Always be available to my owner. 3. Never talk back. 4. Always agree with my owner. 5. I am not human so I cannot do human things. I wondered how pretty human women were. I was so nervous about my departure I nearly refused to leave my room. I could leave if there wasn’t anything wrong with me physically. I remember the den mother telling me not to do anything that would cause a refund or else I would be exterminated upon refund. My new owner had thirty days to return me. If he returned me and no one else was interested I would be exterminated. I would be killed because it would be thought that I was defective and no one would want a defective product.

A CrossRoads by tore56789

This is my very first attempt at writing a short story. It's not perfect. I think it certainly goes too deeply into religion at the beginning. And always reminds me of a Vincent Price horror. (Wherever my voice for the story came from?) Especially when the character visits his wife's grave, and later reminisces about their dog's death. But like all stories I've written. I think it too holds beauty. Especially when he meets his soul mate at the lunar city. When I read that part, still, I can't escape from feeling some surge of emotion. The story is set in the future, where technology exists to change the pathway in life we traveled. Let's be honest, have you ever pondered about your existence? Asked yourself the simple question, "WHY IS EVERYTHING SO HARD IN MY LIFE ? WHAT HAVE I DONE TO DESERVE THIS?" Well then the simple answer might be, you've headed down the wrong road in life, or what is referred to in this book as, a terrestrial cul de sac. A word taken from French, and translated to in English as, "A No True Road." If you're curious to know more, please read on... And if you're brave enough to do so, be aware, a world as incredible as the "Twilight Zone", awaits! Well maybe not. But then I guess, it also depends on the reader..? And what is one's cup of tea, may not be another's, and so on.

Take You Down by xxLastSummerxx

"Admit he scarred you, made you loose all the trust you had in anyone. Admit he's back and you feel endangered." "Why are you doing this?" I whisper, my eyes starting to itch with the urge to let the tears fall endlessly. I didn't want to remember any of that, and he's bringing it back. Pablo shakes me slightly, as if to wake me up, "Admit you're scared and want to take him down." As a tear falls down my face, Pablo halts and presses his lips on it as it drops. I stare at him with my mouth slightly ajar, and he continues on, his eyes growing soft. "Admit it, y yo te ayudare. I will help you." âˆž Follow Madison Lockey on a journey to face her abusive past, the elusive present, and promising future. When her nightmare ex comes back to haunt her, her family, and her friends, she does the one thing she knows how to do. Push people away.

Will Pablo break her false facade and help her, or will she push him away as well?

Ailet x Terry [Part 2 Complete] by Aneki__

It's the era of Transmigration. I wanted to possess a body of a rich young lady in a Rofan childcare novel, and live while receiving lots of love. No. 1 to be avoided! No. 1 in frustrating the reader! I possessed someone inside an infinite return novel called: Return Until the World is Saved. Forget being a young lady from a prominent family, I will soon be ruined because the survival difficulty of the original work is S-Class. I became an extra. Ellet, the young daughter of a servant in the Count's manor. We are poor, but it's a happy life between a kind brother and a good father. I've got a best friend I've never made before because I was always busy. Even the gods of the Transmigration Management Bureau are openly fond of me. I'm living a life full of confidence. On top of that, I accidentally bought the 'After-Life Insurance' full package just before my death. I leveled up with the high-speed growth buff, and diligently destroyed the original plot. Thanks to plenty of special privileges, I came to give satisfaction for all the frustrated readers of the original work. "You wiped your face with your dirty hands." "......." "Don't be surprised. It's because I have an obligation to be kind." And then, there's the protagonist who is still nothing more than a handsome push over, Thesilid. 'Why is he being this crafty with me?' © Author

"A warning to the people The Good and The Evil This is WAR To the Soldier The Civilian The Martyr The Victim It's the moment of Truth and Lies The moment to Live and Die The moment to FIGHT?"

The Revelation by dstry0515

In the beginning, there was death. The darkness flows from hues of purple and orange, the moon rising to kiss the sun's rays one last time as the darkest cloud of night I've ever seen falls over our tiny haven. I catch Will's face from the side of my vision and my heart tightens slightly. The tick of his jaw wouldn't be noticeable for anyone but me. His best friend, his lifeline. A solemn tear forms in my eye as he wipes his face, another tear falling for the family he lost. I love him. Utterly and desperately so, but, there's nothing I can do about that. The ultimate forbidden fruit, if you will. I reach to comfort him and he doesn't respond. I open my mouth to speak and he looks my way, but the gleam in his dark brown eyes hits the moonlight just right and I fall. My voice escapes my throat and I can't do it. I've tried for years to tell him. 10 years, actually. All this time, I hopelessly remained devoted to a ghost who had given the best of himself to a fiery red-head with a sassy personality and the body of a supermodel. For 10 years, I held to the desperate thought that maybe, just maybe, he'd be someone I could count on. Instead, I watched him marry my best friend, smiled as they welcomed their son. Stood, holding that beautiful boy as his mother was in the first round of executions after the beginning of the Revelation. Helped heal Will's wounds in the aftermath. Cried, clutching the tear-stained shirt of my best friend as his son took his last staggering breath in that first harsh winter. The guilt of my emotions crawl through me. My heart twisting in regret, guilt, desperation, and grief. I loved my best friend. She was so much more than that; she was my family. In this dystopian quick read, join a group of people desperate to recapture their freedom and end a tyrant's reign.
