Purgatory is a strange place. With the apocalypse about to hit Earth, people are dying everywhere, and it's only about to get worse. But oddly enough, no one in Purgatory really seems to leave. Life (or rather, death) there has become a routine, which much of it resembling life on Earth. Of course, conductors on trains giving judgement to the recently deceased isn't exactly normal, and neither is the circus that appeared almost out of nowhere. And with the dread of the end of the world looming over everyone, truth and morals will blur into an unclear mess that could destory purgatory itself. Stolen souls, the residents of purgatory, and all other mysterious entities residing there are in the middle of a constant battle between life and the afterlife. But they're all about to find out that they may be pawns in a game that is much bigger than their existence, and if they lose, the consequences could be grimmer than anyone could have imagined.

The Fallen Angel by ShaniquaHill09
18 parts Ongoing Mature
The world is full of corruption, tragedy, and disaster. Rape, murder, embezzlement, human trafficking. You name it. There is nothing humans won't do for money, power or self-gratification. More than that it always seems that the downtrodden and the good-natured always suffer the most. The cherry on top? All this suffering is supposed to be rewarded in heaven when you die...if you make it there that is. Sounds ridiculous, right? Don't worry you aren't alone. My name is Jasmine Peters and I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired as the world around me crumbles while Sky Daddy watches from his ivory tower. I was cursed with the ability to read minds and now I'm owning this curse on my own terms and saving whoever I can with it. If God won't help us... I will. Gabriel: I'll never understand The Almighty's infatuation with these creatures. Humans demand so much, but yet they give so little and whatever they are given they destroy. The audacity of this human especially leaves me particularly annoyed. She dares to defy divinity and scoffs in the face of The Almighty when it was divinity that has gifted her with the ability to do so in the first place. Only a creature as lost as a human would be given a gift and label it a curse. Nonetheless, as the hand of The Almighty, I will do as I am asked by tending the flock and heard this lost sheep back to pasture. As troublesome as she may be, I fear there is something much more sinister at play and she appears to be at the epicenter of this chaos.

This is a full novel I'm putting out in multiple parts on Wattpad, ScribbleHub and other sites. You can purchase the full story as well at my Ko-fi store or Amazon. Warren finds himself in the bed with a pretty, blonde woman who's quietly sleeping. That's the start of his problems! Warren doesn't know who the woman is and what he's doing there! In fact, he's not even sure what decade it is. Warren is dead! He knows this as a fact. By now, he expected to be wearing wings or running around with a pitchfork in hand. Instead, Warren's afterlife is an eerie, mixed-up purgatory. Instead of standing at the Pearly Gates, he's trying to survive inside of a film world made up of obscure movies from the past. Worse, Warren understands this far too well that he is just one of many lost souls trapped inside a bizarre reality engraved into celluloid by long-dead writers. He finds that his lot in this new life is to wake inside the body of someone who will be the upcoming murder victim. Warren carries no memories of the character and must piece together his identity. Once the woman next to him wakes, Warren's day quickly goes downhill. He quickly discovers that he's aboard a tramp steamer returning from Cuba during the 1930s. Finding himself involved with an unsavory group of associates, Warren suddenly stands accused of two murders. Just one step away from the police and the gallows, the accused man must identify and trap the real killer. Escaping from the police and on the run from gangsters, Warren discovers Amber, his reluctant witness to his innocence may not be the person he thinks she is. Slowly he finds Amber may hold the key to his escape from purgatory. However, can Warren convince the woman that their fates are linked as they seek to discover the murderer?

What would you do if tomorrow morning, everybody in the entire world vanished? If you're anything like my brother and I you'd probably jump for joy. We certainly did, all you can eat pizza for the very reasonable price £0. In the first moment it is heaven, but then you realise the true cost. Your friends; gone! Your family; gone! And all that is left is the pain. Rocky and Chase explore their empty world determined to make it back home as they search for their lost mother and 12 year old sister Kayleigh. With an empty world this might seem a hopeless task but try telling that to two orphan brothers. When you wait that long for a mum you don't let little things like 'disappearing' stop you from getting her back. Unfortunately for the maladjusted boys some of the people who disappeared have come back, and they have, let's say 'changed.' That's ok though, these boys have never shied away from a fight in their life! But when the last girl on earth actually might actually be your soul mate it's a new kind of pain for Rocky to watch her fall for his brother. His fists have gotten him through life up to now, so it's hard to accept that the key to finding his Mum and solving this mystery might mean facing his feelings. It's one thing to fight the actual monsters around you but beating the ones on the inside is the true battle. A battle both Rocky and Chase must conquer if they are ever to see their Mum or sister again, a battle they must win if they are ever truly to have a family. Sometimes saving other people starts with saving yourself, will Rocky's journey be similar to your own? Let's find out...

12 parts Complete

Five young adults from the same area die from similar causes and all end up in the same place, Hell. The Sins they have committed are minor, but they're enough to get them into the Eternal Shit House. The Devil comes to each of them in many forms and hands them each individual tasks they must perform to see where they belong in Hell. Some have accepted their fate and work hard to be one of His Greats. Others try finding an escape and a second chance at Life and Heaven. If they fail these tasks, they're stuck back in line with no short cuts. May be a tad confusing to read because the perspectives bounce from first to third person depending on who's narrating. I'll try fixing it if it's too difficult. Started: 3/16
