War crept up on us. Like a crack in a windscreen, you knew something was wrong, but there was plenty of time to worry. So we took our time to worry. We worried more than a mother who's child hasn't returned home by 9 o'clock, although a mother would be concerned, and a mother would drive her car through the depths of Hell just to give her child a lift home.
We were all responsible, the outcome of the future rested in our hands as if it were fragile newborn baby. We weren't that type of mother.
Everybody makes mistakes, and some mistakes are bigger than others. I wish I could say that we could turn this world around, but the times ahead will be tough, like a volatile teenager, while our generation couldn't even handle the infant. In writing this we hope to give inspiration to you, to hand over the responsibility to better people. The war that broke so many apart has brought so many together, and we are just some of those who found peace in a desert that once seemed devoid of all things good. A desert we call the war zone.

"I just wanted help!" He shouted that so many times.. • "I'm not going back to them!" He swore that each day ever since he left. • "..I didn't want it..I didn't like it!" Fear was brought onto him anytime. • "..Im here, Pinetree. I'm still here..its okay. It's all over now." He trusted that voice. ♡ Sinful. Dipper was a very sinful person. He was a sin himself in his parents perspective, with such negative thoughts and terrible scars he laid on himself, he was probably possessed by the devil itself. Locked up. Healed. Left alone. At least his parents thought that. In reality, the brunette tried his best to fake each movement of his, his smile, his act, his personality. It was all a show he performed to his parental figures so he would be let free. He was never allowed outside, even though it sounds so exaggerated, it wasn't. He was locked in his dull room having visits from priests or punishments from his father..so he left. He promised himself he would never come back, so here he is in Gravity Falls. A place his sister lived in now as she became close to it, a place that he could've visited when he was 12, but his thoughts prevented him. Bills statue was in the same place ever since he was defeated..somewhat. He's still alive, but he can't physically hurt anyone..he was trapped. Always saw the same view each day, always felt like he was locked in, always cursed at the Pines. He swore that he would escape, he swore that he would get revenge, he swore on his grave that he would leave his statue..well that was until Dipper Pines arrived. With the two males interactions they find themselves becoming softer and much more closer than ever..what'll happen between the two. With such people against them, how would they face the cruel world? -BillDip SAVE YOURSELF DONT READ THIS ITS CRINGE I PLAN OM REWRITING IT WITH A WHOLE NEW AU 2 the ppl who praised my writing, y'all r fake af🙁💔💔💔Complete

Moth
They say the world used to turn. They say that night would follow day in an endless dance. They say that dawn rose, dusk fell, and we worshiped both sun and stars. That was a long time ago. The dance has died. The world has fallen still. We float through the heavens, one half always in light, one half always in shadow. Like the moth of our forests, one wing white and the other black, we are torn. My people are the fortunate. We live in daylight, blessed in the warmth of the sun. Yet across the line, the others lurk in eternal night, afraid... and alone in the dark. I was born in the light. I was sent into darkness. This is my story.Complete
Innsania 2C /Lucy pov/
Everything started in 2036. The pollution was so bad that the end of the world was predicted to be right around the corner. As complete panic set in around the world, the rich and important people were all gathered and placed on giant spaceships with enough resources and room to house generations of human beings. Before they left though, the government leaders fired As a result, most of the human population died off and earth was a complete wasteland. The little that survived started building local communities and trying to survive in the destroyed excuse of a planet. On the disaster of a planet, creatures mutated and were born out of the nuclear chemicals; creating new species and monsters that hunted humans. While hundreds and hundreds of years passed, the monsters kept evolving and the people kept adapting while still trying to keep a sort of community. They didn't want to lose all of their humanity and become nothing more than animals that hunted the monsters: then they would truly be no better than the monsters themselves. So they stayed civil while still doing what it took to survive.Complete
If No One Else
𝟏𝟖+| I was said to be 𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐝𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐝, 𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐢𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞... 𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐮𝐧𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞. I had heard it so much in my life that it had manifested into a truth that remained rock solid in my brain. It consumed every surface of my body and mind like a deadly cancer It had become a promise to myself. A reminder. A standard. It was a rule applied to every person in my life, except him... He was the same as I was; no matter how different our outside identities were. We were cut from the same cloth on the inside. There was no denying that he and I were both broken souls left in a broken world. Both craving an eternal slumber before we met, but his darkness played so well with mine that suddenly it began feeling more like light, warmth, goodness... a happy ending. "...𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗳 𝗻𝗼 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗲𝗹𝘀𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝘀𝗮𝗶𝗱 𝗶𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲... 𝗜 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂," --------------------------- Partying. That was the one thing Chandler did best, and everyone in town knew that. But when one of her parties get out of hand and the cops are called, she's in for a rude awakening as she comes face to face with the new guy in town: Officer Herrera. He's wasn't like the usual officers she dealt with, and she finds that out quite quickly as she gets dragged away to jail for the night. They both wish to never see each other again, but there was something stronger than their dislike for each other keeping them together. The stronger their dislike grows, the more attached they become, until the lines become so blurred that they can't tell the difference between hatred and love anymore. They could say they hated each other, but if anything, a small part of them knew it would turn into love. If that love would last once everything was revealed... It was only a matter of time before they found out. ----

Static
{COMPLETED} "now that you've had your fun electrocuting me, would you care to hop in the backseat?" ---------------------------------------------------------- Freak DNA. That's what I like to call it. The fault to my genetic code. More often than not, it's a curse. The static running through my blood gave me a name. A cruel, daunting label of a measly bug. A roach. That's what I am to them, to the government. Roach; the nameless monster with electricity for a sense and lightening as a second nature. It ruined my life, the sparking currents playing tag in my mind, running around and bumping into everything, shaking me loose. The government, actually. They ruined my life. My curse just gave them a reason. You see, the normal population with ordinary DNA, they don't know about the people like me. The roaches of the world. We don't get that kind of recognition at the camps. There, we are only one thing in the military's eyes. We are weapons and we will act like it. Everyone else out there, bathing in the goodness they don't know they've got, they don't know about the roaches their stepping on. As long as their getting closer to the sky, they don't care what they stand on to reach it. They don't know about the sparkling dreamer that's killed 7 people before her 17th birthday. They don't about the ghost of a girl peaking around corners for her entire life because even home wasn't safe. They don't know about the fighter of steel and iron sucking on his bloody lip courtesy of the wars he battles in as nothing but a shadow. They don't know about the masked villain who would do anything to see the army they lead claim the throne They don't know about us. But they will, because we will rise. And when we arrive, we will arrive violently. ___________________________________________ Started: 10.06.15 Finished: 3.17.16Complete
The Burning Son
Have you ever wondered why things are the way they are? Is society really getting anywhere? Are we bettering ourselves and the places we call home? This is a story about us, a story that isn't being told, a story that needs no attention except for the attention you want to give it. I'm no expert in anything. I have been learning about different things throughout my life and have yet to master anything. I'm your typical person; I have a wife and two kids, a dog, a cat, and live in a house in a small community in BC. I was raised on the Prairies and understand the value of hard work. I have studied business, economics, commodity trading, carpentry, and other functions within our society, all which have led me to write this story, the story of a burning son. So what is The Burning Son all about? It's a quest to change the way we perceive our global society, and an effort to change the way we look at our history and our future. Our society has operated efficiently and progressively for centuries. It's about the stories that exist, it's about the technologies that exist, it's about our world, our planet, our force, and our time.Complete
