In preparation for an upcoming essay I am writing on programming morals into A.I., I ask you, the reader- if you had to choose between pushing a large man off of a bridge to save five people on a trolley track below, what would you do? Would you directly kill the man, or indirectly kill the people? Please comment your answer, and thank you for participating in my essay.

[BILLIONAIRE SERIES] [BOOK 1] "Do you want to kiss me?" "No, I want to devour you completely. Every inch of your body and soul belongs to me. Let another man touch you, and you'll find him six feet deep into the ground. And you will end up in my bed, fucked in every hole until the only name you remember is mine. Do you understand, love?" The way his dark words rolled out of his mouth, it sounded so sensual. "Yes." I breathed out. "You say yes so easily." The corner of his lips curved up, and the next second, his lips were on mine. The heat, the pleasure, the firm pressure of his lips, and soft glide of his tongue against mine. The kiss was so demanding and rough. A moan slipped from my mouth to his earning a groan from him as my fingers slid into his hair and my back pressed against the wall. My body liquefied in his touch as I felt sparks consuming my skin. If he hadn't been holding me up, I would've melted right there. His tongue slid in my mouth, devoring it just like he said.Complete

"I don't bloody understand!" Newt says. "I shucking love you and DON'T YOU DARE to say that it was just a bloody game for you, because we both know that it wasn't. What we had was real." "But Newt, it was just a game. And of course you don't understand. You don't even remember..-" "Actually, I do. It all hit me when I saw you kissing Mark." Newt says. His voice breaks little bit when he says his name. Mark. That bloody stupid bastard who stole his girl. Who kidnaped her, took her away, it broke Newt into small pieces. "I remember everything. What. We. Had, no HAVE is. Real." "You don't understand." Selenia says. "I'm doing this for both of us. I'm protecting you, I'm protecting me, THIS IS A GOOD THING." "Breaking my heart is a good thing?" "You know what? I don't care. Think what you want, I've had enough. I want to out. Leave. NOW!" Newt leaves the room and Selenia stays quiet for a while. "Minho and Thomas, I know you are listening." They come out of the closet and Minho smirks at her. "That was pretty harsh. You don't need to be so rude." Thomas says and Minho nods. Selenia smiles sadly. "I do. It's the only way to keep him safe from me." "Are we seriously going to do this?" Minho asks and this time, Selenia nods. "Shuck yes. We are going start The World War 4." Sequel for "I would die for you". Read it before this one :)I got ideas from: The Hunger games and Divergent.

I DO WHAT I WANT, I KILL WHO I WANT AND IF I WANT NEWT TO BE IMMUNE AND THOMAS NOT, THAT*S GONNA HAPPEN, OKAY? OKAY.And also. I say "Okay? Okay." A LOT.Complete

When your life turns into a train wreck.
No, this is not a teenage drama. If that's what you came looking for, you might as well turn yourself around and hit that back button in the top left corner of your browser. I'm writing this, because I literally have nothing better to do with my time, and I'd like to write some realism, thanks. I'd also like to warn, that if you catch a snarky attitude coming off of this, it's not meant for you. It was meant for the person before you. There's questions there too, and if you feel like it, please answer them. I'd like to 'meet and greet' those that read. (Also, please mind the rating.)Complete

"WHY CAN'T YOU GET IT INSIDE YOUR HEAD?" He trapped my trembling body between his arms and slammed his fist into the wall. I flinch at the sound as I feel tears forming in my eyes. "I'M SICK AND TIRED OF YOUR CRYING. JUST ACCEPT THE FACT THAT YOU'RE NEVER LEAVING. THIS IS YOUR LIFE NOW, WITH ME" He spits, anger consuming his voice as I push myself further against the wall. Shutting my eyes closed and turning my face to the side as I do. Moments later, I feel his rough hand on my waist and his finger grazing my cheek. "Look at me, love." His hand grips onto my jaw, his thumb playing across my lower lip. He turns my face to meet his as I lower my gaze to the floor. He lowers himself to my level and I feel his breath fanning my cheek causing my breathing to become unsteady. "I love you so much, darling. But you need to learn. You need to learn that you won't be going anywhere. You're mine." With that being said, his other hand slides down to my waist "Your entire body, your mind, your soul. All mine."

I Am A Monster
I am a monster. I am a monster for leaving my father to die on that horrible day when they caught up to us. Maybe this is stupid to feel this way. I would have died either way. The only difference is dying in cowardice, for running away from your prison, or dying in pride, going down fighting for a noble cause, knowing that you changed something. That decision is harder than you think. And I'll be facing it soon enough. Btw I'm so sorry that this is all over the place; I wrote it in 6th grade lol. If you want to see one of my better works, try reading something more recent (though everything on my account wasn't written a while ago).Complete
