Greed Stories

---===Your sins don't end with tears, you will carry them in suffering forever.===--- You, son of Ishval, have seen death, suffering and just about everything else horrible this world has to offer. Too bad the world has worse in store for you. But you humans often find a way to reach that light at the end of the tunnel, or at least try to as long as you have hope.

Not just what is right ... but what is worth sacrificing. An exciting, unforgettable journey with a young mother who gets caught up in a 500-year-old curse which she must solve and then break in order to save the life of her 3-year-old daughter. Nora is a devoted mother suddenly thrust into a centuries-old curse that demands she serve as the next Keykeeper. To break the cycle, Nora must cross into hidden worlds and assume new identities, solving impossible moral dilemmas in each. The catch is harrowing: to pass from one life to the next, she must override every human instinct and choose to die, trusting that her sacrifice was enough to wake her in the next realm. While Nora faces these trials, her reality at home has turned into a nightmare. Her husband, Lyle, stands falsely accused of her murder-hounded by a vengeful lawman and abandoned by his community. With his career and freedom stripped away, Lyle's survival and their daughter's future depend entirely on Nora's success. She must solve the curse and return home before the town's prejudice-and the curse's reach-consumes her family forever.

The herd does not force you, it influences you. Slowly, subtly, and often without awareness. This article explores the psychology of herd mentality and how independent thought can quietly become imitation as the actions of others begin to feel like proof of what is right. It examines the powerful role of social validation, fear of missing out, emotion, and shared belief, showing how crowds can influence not only what we do, but how we see reality itself. Inspired by the book Money Mania: The Mississippi Scheme.

Is greed powerful enough to destroy a person's life? Philip spent most of his life in an orphanage. His dream was to pay them back when he became an adult but life had other plans.

What happens when he bites off more than he can chew and he starts to see the consequences of his actions? Will he finally give up or will he dig further deeper till it consumes him.

In a cold, dark universe ravaged by war... life awakens. But innocence is twisted into a grotesque, merciless force-a monster bred to devour its enemies. He was forged for battle, hardwired for violence, and taught only cruelty. Yet in the shadows of his war-torn world, a fragile, young being may hold the power to awaken something he never knew he could be: gentle, caring and loved. Can a monster bred for blood learn to protect rather than destroy-or is he destined to remain a weapon, lost to the darkness forever?

In a town famed for its unshakable honesty and moral pride, the citizens of Hadleyburg have long believed themselves beyond temptation. Their reputation for incorruptibility is carefully guarded, and each resident takes pride in the certainty that their virtue can never be questioned. But when a mysterious stranger arrives with a fortune and a seemingly simple test of integrity, the town's steadfast values are quietly challenged. What follows is not a sudden collapse but a slow unraveling. Desire and ambition awaken beneath the polished surface, and even the most respected townspeople begin to weigh honesty against opportunity. Pride and greed combine in subtle ways, revealing how easily moral certainty can crack when personal gain enters the equation. This Mark Twain story is a sharp reflection on human nature. It asks a timeless question: are we honest because we are principled, or simply because the right temptation has never been placed before us? Twain's narrative exposes the fragile line between virtue and self-interest, leaving readers to wonder what they themselves would do when tested. 📘 paperback: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GPJZFS58

Bojo the Crow is a modern fable that follows one crow's unexpected journey through temptation, consequence, and the discovery of life's true riches. Rich with timeless themes and told in the tradition of the great animal fables, it invites readers to reflect on what truly matters long after the final page. This fable was inspired by the same birds that routinely visit outside my home in West Palm Beach Florida, whose personalities and interactions sparked the creation behind the story.

In his final breath, drowning in the mud and water of Priestella, Regulus felt something for the first time that he couldn't quite name. He didn't accept it. He couldn't.

But-in an incomprehensible twist of fate, he was granted the space to rewrite what others had stained. This time... he would be serious. (Crosspost on AO3)
