Pastor Gottlieb finds it difficult to preach with Nazis in the pews, but since the Anschluss, he has no choice. When a Jewish family seeks his help, he willingly agrees, seeing it as a way to oppose the troops that have invaded Austria.
He hides the family in the church, in a service corridor behind the organ pipes. The younger family members plan their escape to New York, but soon realize their elderly grandmother is too frail for the trip.

The Pit: Watchmaker's Hell Book One
In life, we are plagued by the uncertainty of an afterlife, and it is often expected that when we die, everything will suddenly make sense. But when a group of strangers, similar only in their time of death, find themselves in the afterlife, they are faced with more questions than ever before. Are they in Heaven or Hell? If they're in Heaven, why is there a Nazi wandering around? Why are there no children? If they are in Hell, what universal law did they break? Is there a way to repent and move on to a better eternity? At least one man seems to have some answers. Marcus, a Roman dead for 2,000 years, gains the group's trust by leading them through the perils of their new reality. But soon it becomes clear that Marcus is only telling them half the story.Concluida
The Twins Betrayal
I walked out of my room and closed the door. I started to go downstairs where I could hear my siblings talking. I was almost to the stairs when I heard a door open and close. I turned around to see Makayla right behind me. "Hi, Little Brother." She said viciously ~~~ "You didn't do that stuff to Makayla, did you?" He quietly asked. "No, I didn't." I shook my head and paused. "She did it to herself." He was quiet for a moment. "Why would she blame you for all that stuff?" I lightly shrugged. "They'll believe her, though." I said quietly "Everyone always believes her and now that you're here it's going to get a lot worse." ~~~ Twins that were given up for adoption together. For a reason they do not know yet. The girl was seen as young, Beautiful, and innocent. They couldn't see her for who she really was. But he could and he was none other than her twin brother of course. He was the one that always suffered because of her. He loved her, she was his sister his only family. But she hated him and wanted them to hate him too. They used to think that he was the same as her until she made them think differently. Then their biological family showed up. He thought that they would love him, no matter what she did. But, maybe he was wrong. *I do not own any images or videos in this all images from Pinterest and videos from YouTube* Enjoy Started: 1/3/2021 Finished: 1/17/23 #1 in Older Sister on 03/08/21 #1 in Evil Twin on 03/08/21 #1 in Little Brother on 5/24/21 #2 in Sister on 11/29/21 #5 in Reunited on 2/28/22 #2 in Mafia Prince 11/29/21 #92 in LGBT on 9/12/21Concluida

The twins are in for a crazy ride, but they're in it together. Always. Pinky promise. Will it be enough? TW: abuse, SA, r*pe, and mature language/scenes.

A Country Not Your Own
In 1939, as World War 2 began, a Jew named Analiese Baldwin is rescued from an explosion by a German soldier. She has only his dog tag to remember him by. Now, four years later, she is rounded up like all the other Jews to be placed in a cruel concentration camp. Cruelty is not unfamiliar, though. While she cant remember her past, she knows it is not one worth remembering. It is not full of love or happiness because Jews cant find love or have happiness.
