❝ Someone told us, ❞ Judith began, her eyes twinkling, ❝ That you, Max, aren't a king. ❞ ❝ You're right, ❞ Max answered, emotionless, his eyes trained on Carol for sudden movements. ❝ I was never a king. ❞ With those last words, all the wild things roared their terrible roars and gnashed their terrible teeth and rolled their terrible eyes and showed their terrible claws and Max stood stoic, gripping his staff in his hand like a weapon. He pointed it towards Carol first, and clenched his jaw stiffly.This is it, he thought, this is it.And they charged.- - - lovely cover by @SurroundedByThorns…

Centuries after the Fall, the United States has been wiped away. The crumbling remains of the great American empire are home now only to savage, lawless tribes and packs of ravening Damned-the twisted children of the apocalypse. Most of those few who survived humanity's destruction spend their short lives in a violent struggle for survival. But some light still flickers in the darkness: the Blessed of Bountiful live in seclusion, relying on walls both physical and spiritual to protect them from the Desolation that their world has become. Among them are the Saints, those few men and women born with superhuman abilities that the Blessed see as gifts from God. The violent apostate tribes of the Northeast Kingdom have always been a danger, but up until recently its small size and the vigilance of its people have made Bountiful an unappealing target. As attacks on the community grow harsher and more frequent, however, even the steadfast Blessed are forced to start preparing for the worst. With her home's very existence threatened, seventeen year old Ever Oaks, a Saint with the power to heal, is forced to make a difficult choice, one that may come to define her people's future...Exile was a semi-finalist in Mark Lawrence's Great Self-Published Fantasy Blog-Off (#SPFBO). Fantasy Faction said it was "extremely cool," and Bookish Lifestyle called it "more than just a story, a journey and an experience." When I'm asked about it, I often describe it as "X-Men meets The Walking Dead."In addition to reading it here for free, you can buy Exile in e-book or paperback on Amazon.com.…

The Grove is a Wattpad Featured Story. Fifteen-year-old Fuchsia speaks like an average teen navigating the usual drama, but her community of tribes called The Grove is an even more terrifying place to be than the halls of high school.The two major events in a tribe member's life are being pollinated, if you're lucky, and being picked, if you're not. Watching heads roll on a daily basis, Cord, a healer's son wise beyond his years, teaches Fuchsia how to break the rules of their limited society to support an underground movement with ancient roots. Romance and satire twist like vines as Fuchsia and Cord trade illegal secrets, sacrificing it all to save their tribes from a fate worse than death while stealing passionate moments in the meadow. Forced to choose sides in a century-old war that has ravaged the land, Fuchsia must put her fleeting life where her words are and hope the outcome will outlive the season. What a revelation! And one I definitely didn't see coming. Love this story! ~ @amberkbryant I never saw that coming :o this book is so full if surprises and awesomeness, please keep writing!!! ~ @dreaming_in_seattle What a gorgeous chapter.

[Wings of fire - Evolution AU] What if Darkstalker listened to Fathom? The dragonets of destiny never had a destiny. They were hatched just like every other dragon, on the rim of war, ready to fight for their tribes and die for their world. Except, they aren't the exact same dragonets that you know, having never lived under the mountain, never growing up together.Though they may still be the dragonets that you remember. -Daily updates- From chapter 2:Uhar woke, blinking in confusion at the light. He'd never seen anything this bright in his life. Looking out over the cliff, he saw the source, like a blinding flame that was thousands of times more powerful than any spark. It was round and it rested in the sky far above him, illuminating the ground below. It was strange in more ways than that. Since it seemed as if the sky itself was broken. The whiteness that had completely covered it before had moved. Revealing a bright endless blue behind. There were still patches of that whiteness far above, but they seemed fluffy now, no longer a blanket of dread covering the world. They were all different shapes and sizes, but they had none of the previously uniform aesthetic. The sky was turning bright colors as he watched, reds and oranges, reflecting off those white things into pinks and purples as well, it was the most wonderful thing that Uhar had ever seen, colors he'd never even imagined were in that sky. He watched the world in awe, feeling his ears rise with excitement. If this was the world his ancestors had left behind, he couldn't imagine why they'd ever wanted to leave.…

Trials & Tribulations: Stories of Trauma & Growth

Trials & Tribulations: Stories of Trauma & Growth

44 1 17

(*TRIGGER WARNING*): Topics discussed include loss, depression, suicide/suicidal thoughts, violence, toxic dependance, hatred, true love, and heartbreak. This is a book of various poems I have written. The poems you are about to read are written about various traumas in my life, as well as many uplifting and good moments. Without the bad times, we lack the knowledge of what good times are. To understand good and bad is to go through both, and I welcome you to a roller coaster of emotions. I sincerely hope that these writings touch your heart or make a positive impact on your life, for they are my coping mechanism and have done the same for me. I am no god tier poet, but I very much appreciate my work and would love for you all to see it. To speak of one's trauma so openly is a brave task, and I hope you'll all join me on my journey of writing about the ups and downs of life, and the losses and gains it contains. Many times, we are scared to open up about our past and resolve repressed and unresolved issues in traumas, and my mission in writing is to help all of us resolve our issues and traumas in a healthy way. I am serious in what I say, as well as these words: I would greatly appreciate criticisms you have and comments to make improvements. We're all growing through life, and some of us need the help and guidance of another to do so. So will you join me for a ride? Because I am driving this car, and we have a long journey ahead of us. I hope that you will sit beside me in the passenger seat and find yourself as I have found myself. Let us cry out the pain when times are bad, and dance when the times are good. Let us sing our joys and our traumas, because repressing our issues only damages us in the long run. The bottle can only get so full before it spills over, and like I have in the past, some of you may wrongly impact yourself. Remember to empty it before it gets too full. Stay strong. Don't give up. My social media is linked if you need to talk.…

"(2167) The world is in a post apocalyptic state. In 2015, the world went into a new industrial revolution; a new power source was found. Starenhite, was the name of this new source, it was a crystal found only on Pluto. Countries gave into their greed, like always, and fought for this resource. The war started April 4, 2015, and it ended eventually in August 18, 2023, in the use of chemical and nuclear warheads. The world was decimated. But humanity salvation is in the industrial revolution in 2017. Many skyscrapers were built in the revolution, and the were built to withstand many nuclear hits. With the ground being infected with many upon many of diseases, the survivors climbed the steps, and rode the working elevators to the tops of the skyscrapers. The air at the top floors was clean. They disabled the elevators and guarded all the stairs. They stayed there for many, many years. They adapted to the life in the air. Making society anew, creating currency, clothes, growing food, and surviving. Leaders rose and shifted civilization into paths, some Scrapers (They're word for tribes or towns) became evil, pillaging and raping other Scrapers; other Scrapers were good, creating alliances, and doing good for mankind. Our story takes place in a Heracon (A complex of 4 Skyscrapers) with 4-7 main characters coming from different parts of the Heracon. *SIDE NOTE* The ones that didn't make it to the top turned into creatures (Detailed later)*SIDE NOTE*There are two Military Units. The Defense, Just the main military that guards the Scraper, and Reconnaissance, specially picked people that go out into the wasteland and scavenge for useful items and other things like books. (reconnaissance is the equivalent of the scout regiment in shengeki no kyojin)" Thanks for reading!…
