Floating Away is a poignant tale about the life of a young man named Jason who reflects upon critical moments in his life after he's presented a unique opportunity to go back in time a precious few hours... But at what cost?  Memories burst through his mind like a flood, reminding him of some of the most joyful times in his life.  As the course of time twists on through his mind, though, he eventually makes his way to a darker zone in his mind in which much darker memories reside; heartbreak, loneliness and emotional instability.  Finally the memories tie into the present, in which Jason is faced with the most difficult decision of his life.

Floating Away explores a few concepts common to most of humanity, but makes particular focus on emotionally impacting subjects like heartbreak, as well as abstract ideas like nostalgia.  An attempt is made to convert abstract emotion and expressionless feeling into words and phrases; all while keeping an almost dreamlike air of melancholy floating in the atmosphere.  This is an experimental piece, communicated primarily through a first-person expository narrative coupled with tangentially related poetry.

That's the official preface that I've got thus far.  If you continue reading, you'll engage the portion of the introduction that contains more specifics on how this is being written and how your input could have influence on it.

Basically, at its current state, this entire piece is subject to change at any moment without warning; you have been warned (wait what?)

Due to the fluid nature of the this story, your input could have large impact on how its written.  I already have the general idea for how I want it to end (It's based on a dream I had), but as for how we get there is still flexible.  I want to make this good, and not awkward or insincere, so if you find a portion that just doesn't work, let me know and I'll revise. 

Otherwise, all the general things like pacing and flow are easy to modify, so let me know!
Thanks!

🖤" That One Day..."🖤 by strawberryshortcak88

Error... The forced destroyer of worlds... A man of true evil... Or that's what people say at least... Error wasn't actually a cruel man. He was misunderstood and no one would listen to his side of the story. Only very few would, those people being classic, nightmare and his gang, and of course our lovable blueberry. Of course, when you lie about someone and other's start to hate them... Depression and suicidal thoughts come into play. Many other reasons on top of that too. Like being poisoned so many times and having your arms, legs, and ribcage being broken so many times. Error tries to commit suicide in outertale by jumping into the void. Thinking it would kill him, but that's not what happened... The void is like a portal, but instead of bringing you to an AU... It brings you to an multiverse. That's how the protector of multiverse's get around. But there's a price to pay for jumping... In the process of jumping, error loses the power to see and is now blind. With the exception of seeing code's and shapes. When error falls, he lands into an Naj universe. Taking the path of an Erratum, becoming a sewing teacher and some how has the power to make horny students and love struck teacher's fall for him. He takes up the name Mallory moon, the last name belonging to someone he once knew... And now Mallory ( Error) goes through his new life oblivious of normal things. Knowing old monster history from thousands of years ago. And being in a never ending loop of people falling for him. Keep in mind, the Fgod error concept does not belong to me and belongs to harrish something. This is also inspired by other error books I have read over time. The only original thing I own (I think) is a Erratum being blind and his name in this story. Hope you enjoy the book🖤

A One Piece x Gender Neutral Reader! .・゜゜・・゜゜・.» ──────» ᘛ⁐̤ᕐᐶ «────── « .・゜゜・・゜゜・. "Ugh I don't got time for this shit, if only Ace just grabbed Luffy and ran instead- bUT NO- HE HAD TO FUCKIN DIE." Fumbling around my jeans for the carabiner that held my Student ID, which was the key to my door, I was thinking about the frankly, quite amazing dream I had the night before. Don't ask me how but I managed to dream about Law and the Straw Hats. Stars appeared around my face as my eyes turned all dreamy. "Ah, to be so close to Law~ if only I could be dropped back there~" I finally slide my key card in my door, seeing the little green light flash at me five times to let me know that my card had been accepted. I opened my door and walked in, relishing the space I had been given, especially since I didn't have a roommate. Setting down my satchel that had all my supplies by my desk, I walked over to my bed and flopped down onto it and let out the most horrendous screeching noise I could into my soft pillow. "Ah, much better!" I said while lifting my head off the poor pillow, which looked slightly traumatized, "Welp, it's time for dinner now I guess, and by dinner I mean crackers or something because I don't feel like going to Commons." I stood up from my bed and stretched, expecting to feel the nice feeling of some of my sore spots cracking, but instead- "ACK- WHAT THE FUCK-" .・゜゜・・゜゜・.» ──────» ᘛ⁐̤ᕐᐶ «────── « .・゜゜・・゜゜・. There are descriptions of violence, abuse, trauma, and depression occasionally in this story, along with dark themes. I want to make those scenes as realistic as possible, so if any of the above triggers you, think of maybe reading another one of my One Piece stories. If not, then prepare for the long ass ride that is this book!

"There is no happy ending with me," he sounded so broken and I felt my heart break for him. ~ ~ ~ It is 1915 and Irene Ashford works in a hospital in L.A. Having always idolized her mother, she became a nurse like her mother before her. Irene quickly gains a reputation amongst the patients; kind, loving, gentle, funny, quick-thinking and patient. Having a particular fondness for children, she is assigned to work with them. Then one day, a little girl, Alexandria comes in, having broken her arm while picking oranges. Irene takes an instant liking to her and vice versa. Irene would often stay with her at night and sometimes rock her to sleep while holding her. It was almost impossible to separate them. Then, all of a sudden, everything changes. One particular hot and humid night, Irene is called away from the children's ward to help with a new patient that is being brought in. It is a young man with a broken spine. She later learns that he works in the film industry as a stuntman. Over the next few weeks, Irene, while working her shifts, notices that Alexandria is often out during the day. Always the curious one, she follows her young patient one day. She discovers that Alexandria has made a new friend, the young man with the injured spine, whose name, Irene learns, is Roy. A few days later, she is reassigned to work in another ward. Roy's ward. In her new post, she sometimes overhears the stories that he tells Alexandria and is drawn in. Over the course of the next few months, Irene develops a close relationship with her paralysed patient. When he leaves, months later, will she be able to simply put him behind her as just another recovered patient? Or will she finally know what it means to follow her heart?
