Rights Stories

Growing up, all she ever wanted was a normal life- to go to school, learn, make friends, and experience the world beyond her front door. But her father believed the outside world would corrupt her, so he kept her inside the house for most of her childhood, convinced he was protecting her from a broken society. Everything changed when Nathan came into her life. For the first time, she found love, hope, and the future she had always dreamed of. She finally believed she was building the ordinary life she had been denied. Then a new president was elected. As her country slowly unravels, she watches in real time as everything she once believed in begins to disappear. Rights are stripped away one by one. Freedoms vanish under the promise of "security." Neighbors turn against each other while many refuse to believe anything is wrong until it's far too late. Women are among the first to lose their place in society, rapidly being reduced from equal citizens to second-class people with fewer rights, fewer opportunities, and little control over their own lives. Those who speak out are branded terrorists. Those who stay silent hope the nightmare will pass. Most are simply too afraid to risk everything. With every new law and every executive order, the government tightens its grip on the nation. As the life she fought so hard to build slips away, she must decide whether staying silent will keep her safe- or whether speaking up is worth risking everything. The Good Wife Act is a chilling story about the slow collapse of democracy- not through one dramatic event, but through one law, one signature, and one act of silence at a time. It is a story about love, fear, denial, and the devastating cost of realizing the truth only after your freedom is already gone.

# The Voice of Themis: Justice Awakened **France. A time when women were expected to be seen, never heard.** Dorothy Fauver is a young French aristocrat with an impossible dream-to become a public speaker in a society that believes a woman's voice belongs behind closed doors. But Dorothy has another obstacle: **a stammer that makes speaking a struggle.** While she secretly fights to find her voice, her elder sister Anne fights from the shadows. Known as **Liberty Noir**, Anne writes for the resistance, spreading words the aristocracy would rather silence. Until Anne's voice is taken from her. Now Dorothy is left with her sister's unfinished words, her own fears, and a society waiting to crush anyone who dares to challenge it. But perhaps her stammer isn't what will silence her. Perhaps it will be what makes her voice unforgettable. **And when Dorothy finally speaks, it is as though Themis-the goddess of Justice-has opened her eyes.** *Because every revolution needs a voice.*

This is a collection of poetry that I submitted to Button Poetry's 2018 Chapbook Contest. It focuses on gender inequality, the oppression of females, and the struggle for women to break the wall built between them and men to keep them below.

Hey, my stars! This is kinda like a part 2 to the Mennard story rewrite I guess! Both Zander and Ava started going to school during the Mennard story I just never wrote it because school is BORING!

Luke Walker. Warm father to four beautiful children, caring husband to a lovely wife. It was wrong. All of it was. Luke Walker. Just a father, just a husband. Didn't act like a father, didn't act as a husband. Repeatedly beating and bruising his wife. A nameless woman. But, she can't do anything about it. Or, can she? Total cover credit goes to Whispyfog. Thanks!

To celebrate over 25+ years of zelda games, and the new, Link Between Worlds game, i've decided to make a guide of every game, in this one, simple book. You may have to figure out where some of the places are yourself, because I obviously don't have pictures of them. I am very proud of what I do, and I hope you enjoy from The Legend of Zelda to A Link Between Worlds. Wind Waker HD not included.

For as long as there has been higher education, college campuses have been sites where the limits of free speech have been debated and examined.

Patient Zero lives in a secure facility. Nothing gets in, nothing gets out. Sterile white walls. Doctors. Hospital monitors. The usual.

Rather than having all of my short fiction stories posted separately, I wanted to have a place where I could compile some of them, especially the particularly brief kinds of works like flash fiction or micro fiction. It'll also save me from having to spend so much time on cover design, haha! [That cover may look fairly simple-even minimalist-but it was no minor feat to assemble.] Hopefully these pieces will inspire people, make them think, and just plain cut through all of this craziness, bull, and dishonesty floating around.... Think of it as the prose counterpart to my "Havoc In Heaven" poetry collection.
