We have always been destined to rise above our already fascinating sentience; To evolve into something greater than we now are. Change is a fundamental essence of the reality we live in today, an aspect of life that has been here for centuries. A strand in our beautiful nature that we have learned to despise. As the saying goes, 'People are afraid of what they don't understand'. People tend to fight back against change and others embrace it. When the chance of evolution finally reveals itself to us, on what side will we be on? The side that chooses to let it soar the skies, or the side that chooses to use it selfishly? Humans are magnificent creatures, not because of their awareness of life. But for their capability to unite and divide themselves because they choose to do so.

The Australian Federation - Rebellion
By the early 2042, tensions in Australia had reached a boiling point. Following decades of economic and political entanglements with China, a growing Chinese-Australian administration began implementing restrictive racial laws, targeting native Australians and other ethnic groups. Bendigo, a historic gold rush town, became the unexpected flashpoint for what would soon become an all-out rebellion. In late 2045, protests in Bendigo erupted after the Chinese-backed government enacted laws segregating businesses and restricting voting rights. When peaceful demonstrations were met with violent crackdowns, a group of rebels, including disillusioned Australian soldiers, miners, and students, armed themselves and took control of key infrastructure. Within weeks, similar uprisings emerged in Melbourne, Sydney, and Adelaide, pushing the Chinese-backed administration into a defensive stance.

Wildflowers In The Ruins: A 1917 Story
Completed fan fiction for the film 1917: This is the very first fan fiction I've ever attempted. Please be kind. I hope you like it. It features all of the main characters, several of the others, plus many I've created. Northern France, April 1917: A Voluntary Aid Detachment nurse is sent on an urgent mission across no-man's land accompanying two Lance Corporals, but she will have her own mission to fullfil also and be tested in ways she never deemed possible. Each chapter is named after a flower, relevant to the story, and that you can encounter growing in the wild, either in Britain or Northern France, with the exception of roses and Sweet William's. This story does contain spoilers from the film so it's really worth watching it first. Chapers two (from around halfway through) to eight I've taken directly from the film. The script is copyrighted to Sam Mendes and Krysty Wilson-Cairns, although I've worked from what's spoken in the film rather than off the script. I've taken inspiration from other films, television and books (fiction and non-fiction) set in the First World War too such as Forgotten Voices, The Roses Of No-Man's Land, War Horse, The Crimson Field, Private Peaceful, They Shall Not Grow Old, Testament Of Youth, Journey's End and Birdsong. I've also taken inspiration from the beautiful book A Song For Will which is based on the true story of the gardeners and labourers from the Heligan Estate in Cornwall. Every character who isn't featured in the film 1917 is fictitious and the names are entirely made-up, although every female character's Christian name in my story belongs to a female relative of mine who was alive at the time of the First World War, for example my four Great-grandmothers were Mary-Jane, Lavinia, Ada and Alice. The other names were from my Great and Great-Great-Aunts. Enjoy. ❤ 🌺 ☘ 🌻 💖 🍂 🌿 🌼 💗 🌲 🌸 🍃 💕 🌹 🌱 ⚘💝 🌳 🏵 💮 💌 🌾 💐 🍁 💞 🍀Complete

As he watches his grandson, Jett, head for Afghanistan, he writes his story, a story of Vietnam. But it is not just his story. It is also the story of a young US Marine, Alfred F. Jones, whom he fell in love with in a nation that had stolen so much from him.Complete
