Have you ever stopped, taken a break, and just thought about life and the world we live in. Have you ever wondered if there was more to it than just what we see. Have you ever randomly questioned the fairy-tales you grew up hearing. A question that was never answered. It is a question most others would laugh at, find absurd and childish. One every child to ever live has asked. Others might think you are childish and immature to ask such a question. But, is it truly, a childish question. Is it truly childish to wonder and believe in such things. Or is it truly a worthy question with a magnificent answer. Have you ever wondered what the answer is. What is the answer to the question that has been asked by children for centuries. Are our so called fairy tales and legends real? Is Cinderella and her glass slipper all fake or is there more truth in it then we ever thought. More truth than we could have imagined. What about Peter Pan, Tinkerbell, Captain Hook and Neverland, are those stories nothing but falsehoods, fakes, fallacies, and lies, or are they true. What about all the different stories, legends, myths, and folktales around the world, told to children as life lessons or bedtime stories. Lies, frauds, fakes, is that all they are, or, are they more than we ever realized, than we ever thought or imagined, are they more real that we want to admit. Are they more real than we have ever truly known.Before this our story begins why not take a moment, just one moment,to wonder if there truly is more to the world then what meets the eye. More than what science tells us. Is there more out there than just what we see, just what we hear or smell. Are all these supposed myths, legends, folktales, and fairytales, really nothing more than fictional stories made to teach lessons or scare children in the night. Nothing more than stories made to fill children's heads with thoughts of happily ever afters, and happy endings. Or are they more true than we have ever known or realized.

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: 3.17.16Concluida

A New Generation of Pan
Book One of Pan of Never Duology Have you ever wondered what came after Wendy and the other Darlings? What of all the other children Peter has visited over the years? Surely, there are many. I would find it very hard to believe that the ever-playful Peter Pan would not spread his legacy on to a new generation of believers. Where would the world be if children did not believe in silly fairy tales such as Peter Pan? Gwen and her sister have heard the tales of Peter Pan since they were tiny children. Never had they gave a single thought that he or the whole of Neverland, might actually exist. He had always been a figment of imagination. A pastime for children. They thought wrong. When Gwen and Wendi are kidnapped in the dead of night, who is going to save them from the Neverland pirates and the dangerously attractive captain leading them? When Gwen is stuck between the playful rogue and the handsome pirate, the hero and the villain will clash in a battle of wills bigger than either thought possible. And in the end, good always triumphs over evil. Right? Will the boy who never grew up stand a chance with the girl who never saw him coming? **The Token Awards 2017 Third Place Winner! ** **A WattNeverland Account Featured Story. ** The beautiful cover is made by the amazing @ryuwelp00 !!

Atlantis Academy: The First Element
Five Star Reviews for Atlantis Academy: "Omg this book was amazing I couldn't put it down or stop reading. I carried it with me open on my phone while I did everything just to keep reading. I need more of all of this. Epic story, epic content, epic visuals, just epic. LOVE THIS!" "Once I got into this story, I did not stop reading it. This is a beautiful story about a very awkward girl who is riven with so much pain and angst and yet... this makes her who she is and shapes her into the person she will become. The world she finds herself awakened to is magical and yet filled with the all-too-familiar cliques and tribes of the very human people who inhabit it. One word to describe the story: beautiful!" "The story pulls you headlong to the end and leaves you wanting to shout "No! Not yet!" ...If there were 6 stars, I would have given it that." *** Humanity is one secret society away from extinction. The children of Atlantis use magic to keep us safe. If they make it through the Academy. Hi, I'm Lyric. And I'm kind of a mess. ADHD, that's me. I'm a high school drop-out, late everywhere I go, and one screw-up away from being homeless. I'm a loner, and I like it that way. Who needs friends when you have a Redwood forest nearby? Trees never bully me like the kids did at school. Or get drunk and throw things at my head. After my mom died, I figured life couldn't get much worse. I thought it might even get better. Ha. The universe has a great sense of humor. I should've listened to the rumors about evil spirits. About the angry, ancient magical creatures haunting our small Oregon Coast town. But did I? No. That was my first mistake. And it might be my last. 'Cause now I'm in a battle for my life. A whole new world has opened up... a magical world I don't understand. And the blood in my veins says I belong here. But I have to prove myself to save myself. And when have I ever done that?Concluida

A Swing in the Park
It was the summer of 1976 when my father left us. It was a particularly memorable summer and my mother suffered terribly. My father had left her for a younger woman and moved into her apartment which was above a flower shop where she worked. My mother struggled making ends meet and got a job as a nursing assistant at Peaceful Haven, an old folks home that still exists although it is very badly run down now. Because she could not afford a baby sitter, my mother took me to work where I sat in the lounge and watched TV and read books. On her lunch breaks she took me across the street to Faulkner Park where she made out with Fred while I wandered around eating my sandwich. But I quickly grew bored. I was 8 then, a bright young girl with an active imagination. I imagined doors in the sandbox, swings into the sky, doors to another world. And in the rooms of the old lost souls were more doors only waiting to be opened. I took those souls with me on my adventures and eased their loneliness and age with my contagious eagerness to believe anything. And then a terrible thing happened to me, so terrible I could not speak of it. I was in hospital, unable to believe anymore and my old friends came to visit me and to believe for me. I am 30 now, and as I write this and look back I wonder if I still believe. And yes, I do. Believing got me through that summer and believing got my father to come home again.Concluida
