Volunteer Stories

At thirty-one, Antoine Winchester Reynolds has built a life that works. He has a stable career, people he cares about, and a routine he trusts. By most measures, he should be satisfied. Then a favor for his cousin leads him to Harbor, a neighborhood LGBTQ+ community center filled with volunteers, mentors, friends, and strangers who gradually become something more. As Antoine finds himself returning week after week, new connections begin to take root. Some arrive through friendship. Some through community. One through a bookstore-loving teacher named Clarke Richardson. What begins as a simple act of volunteering slowly becomes something else: a quiet lesson in belonging, possibility, and the many forms love can take. Because a meaningful life is rarely built from one thing alone. And sometimes the most important discovery is realizing that life has already begun.

I am ordinary. I volunteered at the pack hospital, I was mostly on time for school, I wasn't popular but I wasn't hated. I was that girl that you could ask a favor, and you didn't have to return one. I help out my pack, I always go to pack meetings on time. If someone asked about me, they would say, ya she's alright. I am ordinary. I wasn't meant to be Luna. So now, I have to prove my worth. I have to prove that I am worthy to be a Luna. And somehow make my asshole mate that's treating me like a spoiled kid respect me. And so far, it's not going very well. **** Previously called Proving Worth!!! All rights reserved!!! Spelling mistakes will be fixed later!!!

Days after and days remaining

Coco Easton is a 48 year old married mother of two living comfortably in a Rhode Island suburb until a drunken New Year's Eve proclamation pushes her to find a job she didn't know she needed. After several demoralizing rejections, the stay-at-home mom rushes to get volunteer work to save face before her next book club. Circumstances lead her to The Mission of Hope where she encounters a handful of colorful characters including: Ernie, the father figure of the organization who is a former cop with a tragic past; Bull, the intimidating truck driver; Daisy, a teenage thief bearing a secret family burden, and an enormous stray dog trying to slip into the ragtag family himself. Day after day, as Coco tries to find her footing with this new group, she struggles to balance the dichotomy of her privileged home life with the hard realities faced by the Mission's clients who are struggling against circumstances as varied as the used furniture and bedding they leave with. This, along with the lives of the other Mission volunteers, fuels a story full of humor, unraveling secrets, and silver linings.

Corrupted reality, otherwise known as No Signal on deviantart, is a story that is still being worked on to this day. It spans up to fourteen chapters as of now, and it is relating to apocalyptic, dystopian, and cyberpunk genres. It is about a government that captures and experiments on innocent people and oppresses them every day. This evil corporation, or government, is called S.O.K.F. (securing operatives of Karlson's Facilities). They mutate human lifeforms into unspeakable beings, such as anthropomorphic humans, and even creatures composed of light and glitch energy. This corporation, S.O.K.F., was given its power due to the desperation of the people who were becoming murderous intelligent spore-spreading zombie like creatures due to the 'red rose virus'. The people expected S.O.K.F. to develop a cure for the virus, but S.O.K.F. used their power in horrible ways. If you like this universe/story, and you want to make adaptations/fanfic, just ask me via my deviantart account, Everywhereveryone. Hope you enjoy!
