Three years ago, the world we knew fell apart. It all started with the weather; something that didn't seem significant at the time, but played a vital part of our downfall later. Then came about a disease with no cure. Most who got it died, but some fell into a comatose state. Not many woke up. The ones that did were changed. I am one of them. And let's just say I'm surprised at the outcome of our world.Gangs run the world, and they are relentless in recruiting and in territory expansion. Drugs and liquor are being sold openly on every street. Girls are being bought and sold as slaves and prostitutes. Money isn't a problem because it doesn't account for anything anymore; that's what stealing is for. What's left of the government is being executed daily.The world I knew is gone, replaced with one fiercer and harder than ever before. Yet not all hope is lost. I've heard a rumor about a place of sanctuary.Paradise is so close within my reach, and I'll do whatever I have to so I can get there.But it won't be easy, especially when girls are scarce and everyone is on the hunt for people like me. So I'll have to reinvent myself to fit into this new world, and become the girl I need to be in order to survive.(All rights go to me.)Book One in the Trust No One series.…

In the heart of the land of the free and the home of the brave, a quiet revolution has been unfolding over the past eight decades. An evolution that has imperceptibly eroded the quality of education, leaving our society grappling with a profound and unrelenting crisis. The book, "DUMB, DEPENDENT, and DISARMED," delves into the shadows of this crisis, exposing the systematic degradation of American education and the dangers it poses to the nation's future.The Diminishing Education QualityFor eighty years, a deliberate and concerted effort has been underway to diminish the quality of education in America. The book begins by challenging us to ask a fundamental question: "How dumb do they need us?" The answer is chilling. The systematic dumbing-down of America's education system has been a long-term strategy, orchestrated to keep us blissfully ignorant, unable to foresee the impending consequences, and powerless to resist.The Culture of DependencyBut it doesn't stop there. A culture of dependency has steadily replaced the traditional American values of self-reliance and self-responsibility. This shift towards dependency has made it more likely for individuals to embrace the alluring promise of "free-everything" policies. As the book reveals, the consequences of this shift are dire. It pushes us down a treacherous path, where we unknowingly welcome our own demise with open arms.The Road to DisarmamentOne of the book's most pressing concerns is the gradual disarmament of the citizenry. This calculated move leaves the remaining population ill-equipped to defend themselves in times of crisis. It's all part of a long-term and well-crafted campaign to sow chaos and division within America's borders, ultimately weakening the nation. And as the book argues, this weakening paves the way for other global powers, with China poised to become the preeminent world leader.…

"Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our deaths." Monochrome. The perfect word to describe the world in which I live. Similar to the truth, there's black, white, and grey. I have three main confidants, who also frequently consult me in my day to day life, their names are Mark, Joseph (more fondly known as Joe) and Eve. They guide me towards the bigger picture wherein I eliminate those deemed unholy and unwanted, these actions they assure me will earn me fame and recognition in the end. If you didn't get it, "eliminate" means that I kill them.My name is Elliot Myers and I am a serial killer. Elliot Myers will hold the door open for strangers, smile at servers, and help old ladies carry their groceries to their cars. He will also kill with little to no hesitation. Mild-mannered on the surface, Elliot is thoughtful, witty, and very very flawed. Guided by voices in his head, he commits appalling acts, disillusioned with the idea that his crimes are serving a bigger picture where he will someday be applauded for his actions. Although, this past month something hasn't felt right, almost as though what he is doing is wrong. Elliot can't accept that because that would make him some sort of monster. Which he isn't?(Quick A/N: I am not sure when I will continue this story but if you have any thoughts on this small piece so far, definitely leave a comment and let me know!)[P.C. Succumb Statue by Unknown]…

Charlotte was determined. She was strong-willed. She was unstoppable. That's why she joined The Black Parade: a gang of dauntless freaks willing and able to do what was necessary to cross the Dark Side. It may have seemed like a joke to Charlotte at first, but it turned into a serious trial filled with her darkest fears and flooded by her unending tears. The only one that was able to keep her sane was the boy with no smile. He was almost nineteen - two years Charlotte's senior - and engaged to a woman in the Parade. She was mortified to find the one she needed the most was dedicated to a woman who didn't care.When it's kill or be killed, eat or be eaten, deceive or be deceived, Charlotte would do whatever it takes to have her solace, her envied protection and comfort, all to herself. And if it meant destroying the barrier in the way, then she did what the Paraders do: what had to be done. ~ ~ ~ This book has nothing to do with the My Chemical Romance song, "Black Parade." It simply has a the name Black Parade in it. I have not listened to the song, so if anything overlaps with its ideas, my sincerest apologies. I do not own the song or its rights, only the characters and storyline in this book. Sorry for any and all confusion/problems this may cause. This book is simply for entertainment.…

Insecurities.When you face yourself with no other person in sight, facing yourself is often very hard to do because you are most vulnerable to yourself where self is most honest.Facing yourself is a journey that needs you to take a trip down self lane perhaps even memory lane where you revisit your past, revise any decision that was taken in order to know who you have become in the present and who you going to become in the future, facing yourself is an opportunity to sink deeper into soul and dig deeper into your thoughts - facing thy self.A journey is characterized by many miles, so to does a journey with self, it takes many conversations, many right and many wrong decisions to know self, most people show the world only shadows of themselves and never truly themselves, because some people find comfort in seeking approval from other sources and not really themselves. You spend most of your days with yourself, at times it seems as though empty shells of human beings are littering the streets, a very few full individuals walk among us, how did those that know themselves do it? Perhaps it is magic or something that belongs in mythical times, or perhaps those that know themselves realized that they have to look out for the one person they spend most of their time with - self.Insecurities come from being uncertain, they come from lacking substance because without those than you will not be sure of yourself, your character is questioned by events that exist only to test your character, and to find out if you are certain, and lastly to probe you if your reasoning is substantial, in a nutshell if you are a solid person.Are you a solid person? Or are you an empty shell?…
