Protesting Stories

Blood is mandatory. Compliance is survival. Hope is broadcasted like propaganda. Kai has spent his life keeping his head down, his sister hidden, and his fists ready. But when the lottery calls his number and offers him a future he never asked for, Kai is forced to choose between the life he built in the shadows, and a system that's already decided what he's worth. The revolution is coming, but he never signed up for his. Kai only wanted to keep his sister safe. So why is he now suddenly able to control fire?

"Fate has a way of changing yer plans, mate." I never asked fate to change me into a Bleeder. Zombism is all I knew, but now I'll be hunted until they can find a way to kill me. If I hadn't had gone down to that hum-fight, if I didn't jump in the ring to satisfy my need for unprocessed human flesh, I'd still be accepted in society. I wouldn't have to hide from the werewolves who can smell life on me, from the vampires who, with one drop of blood, know everything about me. Now here I am, with a gaggle of humans and human-sympathizers, trying to hide my new identity, all while trying my hardest to avoid learning about the girl who turned me. But it's near impossible when she's the only one I trust. + + + Excerpt Read for FREE with Kindle Unlimited Available to purchase on Amazon and Radish.

There's a pandemic going on and our traveler hits the road. This is the very thing that happened.

An ecological phenomena in the settlement of Troika has caused a genetic mutation in a portion of its citizens, imbuing them with various psychic abilities. Sending Troika into a panic when discovered, these new psions have become second-class citizens, leaving tensions between them and Troika's police force, the Enforcers, volatile at best. When a video of Montiel using his formerly dormant powers against an Enforcer goes viral, he goes into hiding in Third World, Troika's poorest and most psion ridden district. Taking up a job as a busboy in the non-descript music venue Moonrise, he and the rest of the eclectic, psion-studded staff work to keep their head above water while the city continues to collide against itself in increasingly violent showdowns. But when policies begin overstepping liberties, can this crew maintain their neutrality? Or will they be forced to take sides as Troika stumbles closer to civil war?

(complete) Sex, intrigues, lies - the Game is like normal politics, just that now people lose their brain over it. Macbeth meets House of Cards and Game of Thrones in a fantastic ride to the Brexit referendum battled out in the reality TV show environment of The Game. After taking home a surprise victory in the national audience-vote of the popular international TV show The Game, David, the leader of one of the two participating UK teams, The Tortoises, and one of his council members, Ed, are brutally murdered in bed. The police arrests Ed's brother William, in what seems to be a fight over positions gone fatally wrong. The murder opens the way for Boris to the top, an ambitious man pushed by his clever wife, Theresa. What few know, the police have neither the right murderer or motive. The magic of the murders hatches a far greater risk for humans and their brains. But two out of the three initially setting out to stop what is happening, Justin and Matis, haven't yet coped with their own deaths nor with the prospect of an eternity together, while their boss, Hel, puts her father's safety before the task. Whether or not they get their act together though, it soon becomes clear that the job demands a bigger crew as their true opponent is very familiar to them and has never been beaten yet. Exit to the Right kicks off a series. In its course, it becomes clear that the 'zombie virus' rather than destroying brains, manipulates the humans' emotion-based value system to send humankind back in time without ever leaving the path to the future. The wheel of time with the rise and fall of human consciousness needs to be broken for the world to have a chance to fulfill its promise.

America was built on discrimination, hate, and hypocrisy, The very land we stand on is soaked in blood. It's been 250 years and we're owed an apology, Yet the violence still flows like a flash flood. They put our pain among archetypes, And paint over our scars. But I will always bleed stripes; Even if all I see is stars.

"The more this empire expands, the more it will get cursed" The empire that was ruling the estate for almost 200 years, is now burnt down and turned into ashes. The ashes now swiped away with heavy storms and no trace or evidence could be found of its existence anywhere in this big or small world. The empire was said to be cursed. It is said that the empire's destruction was written in its fate and whenever a new king is allotted to sit on the throne, the curse will eventually get bigger and more destructive in nature. "Lord of Azures, the great fortune giver, I choose wealth and the expansion of our empire till where the oceans ends their path" "Wish granted" "I- I choose happiness for our emp- empire, L- Lord of Azures, the great fortune giver" "You chose death" "N- no" "Alas! It is written in the book of cursed fates"

Trigger warnings - there are heavy themes of ICE, violence and discrimination. During one of my seminars at uni I was asked to write a poem about something that makes me angry, and I chose everything that's going on in the world right now (politically). Not only does it make me feel but I hope it personally affects me too. It's a very long, strong and powerfully emotional poem that should tug at any humane person's heart. Every time I read it in my head or allowed I need to take multiple breaths, stutter and often feel the need or do cry. Because this is genuinely how I feel. So if you care about what is going on in the world, especially in the US and UK please give my poem a read I really appreciate it.
