  I awoke in a cold sweat. I could hear screaming coming from outside. I was only up for a couple of second before a worried knock started at the door. I hopped out of the bed and cautiously answered. Carlon was there, blood on his cloak and a sword in his hand. He rushed in and slammed the door behind him. "What's going on!" I asked in confusion. "Why's there blood on you?!" "Lower your damn voice, boy!" Carlon put a finger against his mouth and whispered. "They'll hear you.." "Who will hear us?" I asked he looked out a window. "Raiders came rushing out of the forrest this morning... They just started killing." Carlon sheathed his

Chapter 11 The man at the age of 20 put down the boy on the ground when he was next to his girlfriend. Yazo, Seppo and Chanya were still standing and looking at them. - Was he the one who kicked the dustbin? wondered Yazo and looked at the couple. The man nodded. - Yes, he answered. That was it. Me and my girlfriend live here. - Do you know the boy? asked Yazo. The couple shook their head. - No, replied the man. But I think our neighbor knows him. Seppo bent down and looked at the little boy. - Why are you kicking on the bin? he asked. And do you know where you are from? The boy didn't answer. He just shook his head and didn't pretend it. -

 Ruric sat rigid at the counter of "Ole' Danny's" Pub, he was slightly listening in on the conversation that his daughter, Lydia was having with boys she just met. What made him stiff was the fact that these boys were not just boys they were of the Fredrickson family who were widely known for their trouble making around town. Lydia didn't have many friends so, Ruric let her hang with them. But that didn't mean he wasn't going to be watching them like a hawk. Ruric went to this Pub every morning for breakfast and as soon as he got off from work. Lydia and him ate dinner here every night because he'd kill her with his cooking. It was just th

The night you left, I slept with my window open And through the late cold wind I found myself chasing your scent Linking the stars to form your face The clouds, to weave your silhouette. The night you left, I slept with my heart half broken My lips all burnt My fingers ran across my body Searching for a trace of you Or a line I drew you didn’t transcend. The night you left I plucked the flowers on my body I planted rainclouds on my chest I hanged my heart On the broken handle of my door And I hid the sun underneath my bed I’ll get over you at sunrise But for now, I don’t want the night to end.

          The skies are as dark as navy blue with dark black clouds and harsh winds blowing snow like a hurricane. The snowy dunes below are both being blown and built with tons of added snow. Polar bears and penguins are huddled together for warmth for their young and themselves. Solid glaciers stand tall solid as tons and tons of rocks all piled together into one mass structure. The icy oceans by the side of the land are just about as dark as the icy, causing gigantuous waves to crash one another as this intense weather rages on. One would assume this place is a complete winter wasteland and they'd be right, but somewhere here lies a warm s

Chapter 7: A New Beginning                  I awoke the next morning as soon as the sun peeked over the horizon. I was going to begin my travels today.                Though I was excited, I was also very nervous. I wasn’t sure what was out there waiting for me. I pushed my worries aside, trying to think of where I should go first. There was a wide, wide universe before me, full of new places. As I thought, I remembered hearing a clan mate speak of a beautiful planet full of diverse flora and fauna. That sounded like a good place to start. I tried to recall the name of the planet. After some thought, it came to me, planet Shonee was

(Jae POV) I woke up with Zuria laying down next to me in my bed. It was the morning after everyone came back. I slept like a log givin that I had that outburst at Lucario. Zuria was still fast to sleep, so I kept careful with my movements. Looking over my shoulder I looked to see Lucario was not in his bed, seemingly already awake. I decided I wouldn’t move anymore, given that Zuria had wrapped her arms around me when we slept. I waited for a minute, just relaxing til I started to notice movement from her. I looked over and she had started to open her eyes a bit, then yawning. She then looked at me. -Morning,- I said calmly. She ru

Fear - The psychological phenomena caused by a perceived threat. Fear can take on many forms, and can have varying results based on the individual experiencing it. To face the threat head on in an effort to beat it. To escape the threat in an effort to survive. These decisions make up the fight-or-flight response. This reaction occurs in most living organisms.

September 6, October 2322 Operation Resolution Storm - End of the Fourth World War The superpowers of the world had been locked in a cold war - nationwide battles of attirition and vast games where spies and shadow wars were the pieces and fields - for too long. The massive preparations to shift back into peacetime were far too extensive for the world to simply stand down. Treaties were signed and loyalties were cast, but the greatest problem of all remained. Earth was simply too small to sustain humankind any longer. All farmland had been utilized to its fullest extent, but the people kept starving. A solution needed to be found, quickly, a

                                    Ramaga’s Wrath The dust swirled around Red’s buggy as gray clouds floated overhead and the dust devils spiraled nearby. There was the ever present rumble of thunder in the distance as Red drove through the gates of the city of Chohe. The wind rustled through her red colored fur, hence her nickname. The nose at the end of her lupine muzzle twitched while taking in the familiar scents and her long ears swiveled back and forth. Red was a Daedalian. Most humans said Daedalians resembled bipedal jackals, that was an apt enough description. Red’s keen senses had found her work on the barren p

CHAPTER I: Cold Return. I stepped off the bus to an unfamiliar familiar scene. The duration I had been gone from my home seemed as a time ticked away steadily, but without passing. From leaving, the heart-felt goodbyes were seldom, as the reasons caused a great stir, shifting me away from those I cared about most. Though it was true I left to pursue an education abroad, it was not the cause of the stir. The legacy my mother left behind for me, wishing for me to fulfill was just the initial tipping, and the root cause led on by the overwhelming feeling of betrayal I had received from none other than one of my closest friends, whom I nearly

(Before we start this chapter I want to point of that the story is now on floor 8. Not 3. We are no longer going floor by floor. The story was never meant to go floor by floor anyways I just… Well, I messed up. I’ve also ran out of filler so I’m showing more of the good plot and less of the filler crap. Please read the info dump at the beginning of each chapter to know what floor Jackson is on, the date, time, his level, etc. Thank you and I hope you enjoy.) March 12th, 1:09PM.

    “We really need to do something with this room,” Mia said as she dropped a brown cardboard box on the ground with a loud thudding sound.       Ann looked at the mundane gray walls of the small room, and placed her box down on the floor. “Well, it's not that bad. I mean, it's alright,” she replied.     No more than three days had passed since the day that changed her life overnight. It still shocked her how little time passed since the latest events, but she was still recovering from them. After all the chasing and running away, she needed some rest. Many things about her life remained uncertain, and the walls o

Agarwal Houses Chapter 2 The Laundromat Dim lights flickered and buzzed above Shobbi. She knew it was a dream, a really vivid one but she could not wake up. The stink of bleach and something else tickled her nose. Shobbi sneezed. She tried to get up, but her butt seemed to be glued to the chair. On her left and right, washing machines crusted with some sort of brownish filth spun and gurgled. Shobbi looked into the window of the one on her right to see what was being washed, but the roiling black liquid revealed nothing. Her head felt like it was spinning after a few minutes. Shobbi shook it to clear her mind. Shobbi looked around the lau

Breathe in, thick molten stone lapped at the ground in front of him. Breathe out, life keeping water rippled silently in the tunnel behind him. Breathe in, The great beast towered in the center of the hall, roaring from it's many ghostly maws. Breathe out, the gentle mist that filled the cavern swam lazily through him, as if he was a part of it. Without looking to them, Siam's hand tapped each of the pokeballs fastened to the belt at his side in turn. Three rapid unnatural mechanical flashes of light signalled the creation of his friends. Siam stood at the edge of the magma tide, the Shiftry standing proudly to his right, the Crobat and Masq

It started about eight years ago, deigns for a new bomb were drawn up in a lab in Hanford. The plans were sent here to a decommissioned missile base in Spokane. It was a cryogenic bomb. A boat was waiting in Bremerton to take it to the Antarctic in order to be tested. But something went wrong. The bomb went off and an ice storm like no other covered the pacific northwest, soon to cover America and the rest of the world. I was flying over a town in my helicopter, it looked just like the Arctic. A strong wind kicked up and I knew I was going to have to land or I was certain to crash. The helicopter touched down near a lake which was made
