《WriTEathon》Dear Diary

1/X/20XX
As my wise wife once said,
Remembering is believing and forgetting is sinning.
'Tis a pity she's now dead,
So I wander alone, now somewhat missing.
She was a good lass, what a great shame.
I walked through my rooms, remembering her name.
As the flowers once bloomed, they finally withered and died,
I wonder if she got to heaven, or got sadly denied.

Today I just slumped,
remembering the good times that there were.
One day I got dumped,
I rebounded through fate and finally met her.
She was a diamond, in my mental rough,
As I tried to meet her, I found it so tough.
But as the words kept pouring, I gradually recovered,
And at the end of all this, we became lovers.

Maybe it's my fault it came to this end.
I mean, I saw it all coming with my addiction to gain.
Somehow I feel like I could not mend,
My heart once beating, now stopped by the pain.
Curse love and all it has done!
Why can't I have grabbed that gun?!
A moment of doubt, a few slow reactions,
And the next thing I knew, she stopped all of her actions.
4/X/20XX
The phone is still ringing,
In a desperate hope to reach me.
Can't it just stop ringing?
There's no chance to reach me!
How come I'm here still standing?
Is this the punishment god's demanding?
I lie here, depressed and confused.
Maybe the devil himself is slightly amused.
5/X/20XX
Still slumping,
My muscles declining,
My room is now jumping,
My own thoughts colliding.
Is living really worth the pain?
Am I the target of my own blame?
Could I even continue now?
Do I even know how?
6/X/20XX
Life makes no sense,
I can't imagine why.
My crumbling defense.

Now I can only cry.
I finally hear them, the sirens of police.
Maybe it's time to make my own peace.
My heart starts to race, is it finally time?
Why do I even bother to continue this rhyme?
13/X/20XX
My week in the hospital was finally over,
Prevented from sharp objects, that included my pen.
I had managed to forget my one-time lover,
And got released from that place back to my den.
On my way back, I was so delighted.
The first look inside, I wouldn't have fore-sighted.
My stuff was gone, mold and dust were all that was left.
I started to get sad since it was my first case of theft.
14/X/20XX
I go to the police, report in hand,
Only to get yelled at and told 'piss off'.
Unable to retort, I kneel in the sand,
I just stay there, tears rolling off.
I-I just can't stop writing,
The injustices I can't stop fighting...
16/X/20XX
Who am I fooling?
My life's a joke and I know it.
Blood is now pooling,
My life's over and I know it.
My rich life turned poor,
I'm now at death's door.
My life is ticking away, despair engulfing me.
Hello my dear, did you miss me?

8 189Memories of a Certain Spiritual Hourglass
Xavier Wright never felt special because he could see ghosts. To him, interacting with the dead was no different than being a talented musician or athlete. However, for Gigi Amokachi, Xavier was the last piece of the puzzle regarding her family tradition and her life-long goal to become a spirit hunter. And yet, both of them could not possibly imagine the consequences of their desires, the dangers inherent in a witch's promise, the unforgiving flow of time, and the foolishness of a lover's regret.
8 140Bloody Hell
Alan Maxwell has one exceptional talent. He can read peoples body language and micro expressions so well that, in many cases it's not hard for him to fake being psychic. When a foreign agency decides that said talent would make him an exceptional spy, events quickly begin to spiral out of control. With enemies on all sides, and friends that will as soon kill each other as his enemies, Alan will have to put his skills to the test in the ultimate game of cat and mouse. ===I came up with this story in response to a question. I once asked someone why there weren't really any Yandere harems. I realize that the answer to that is 'everyone dies' but thats boring so... here we are. A story I came up with explicitly as an excuse to create a harem entirely out of obsessive psychopathic axe murderers. Or in other words - "What happens to Bond girls when they disappear?"As a warning, there are sex scenes. Its tagged. I'll leave an authors note at the top of any chapter that has them if you'd prefer to skip it.

8 180Tales from the Triverse
Tales from the Triverse is part detective drama, part fantasy adventure and part space opera. I’m influenced by the likes of Iain M Banks, Isaac Asimov and ND Stevenson and work including The Wire and Gotham Central. It begins with an incident two hundred years ago which crashed three parallel universes together. Portals open up in 18th century London, sending England down a very different path. We pick up events in the 1970s, with the Metropolitan Police having established a new department to handle portal-related criminal activity. The story is about intolerance, immigration, multiculturalism and power. It’s about what happens when incompatible viewpoints are weaponised to seed discontent, and the efforts of some to create a fairer world. In the tradition of the best science fiction, fantasy and crime fiction, I’m using the setting to examine themes that matter to me in the real world. Who is it for?If you like science fiction or fantasy, or a mix of both, this is for you. It’s my first foray into crime fiction, but I hope if you’re a fan that you’ll enjoy yourself - especially if you’re looking for something a bit different. I write fiction that is optimistic, progressive and empathetic. Bad things can happen to good people in the stories, but the overall arc tends to be hopeful. Note that if it were a movie, Tales from the Triverse would be a 15 certificate in the UK.
