《Abyssus》Twenty-Seventh Submersion
Advertisement
Kin’s dead mother advanced on him, teeth chattering together in a nightmare imitation of his own jaws. Jerking forward awkwardly, the corpse moved in fits and stutters, jerking its decayed bulk forward like a lurching ship on a high sea.
Of course, by this time, Kin was too terrified to do anything except curl up in a ball, shaking.
I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I’m sorry I lived. I’m sorry you died, please don’t come here, I’m sorry, sorry I was born
As his mother bent down over him, she dissolved, melted into nothing, her image blurring as it simply evaporated.
Revealing the distended, bulging head of the strange, bighead Siren.
Ah.
With his mother out of the picture, Kin’s mind regained a sliver of focus.
And as the Siren reached out to him, Kin kicked. Hard. He didn’t know what direction he was attacking in, only that it was in the general vicinity of his accoster.
Contact, and the Siren’s weak hand didn’t do much against the force, sending it backwards and giving Kin several precious seconds to regroup. Thinking quickly, he reached for his pressure pistol and shot, throwing the Siren back. Pulling out his knife, he advanced forward, paddling slowly and cautiously towards the monster, now crouched like a cornered cat.
And then it stared at him with those lifeless eyes, grey like his dead mother’s, grey and muddy like the one on the head of the thing that smiled.
Truly, this was the face of Death himself.
Another barrage of thoughts assaulted Kin’s head.
Murderer filthy murderer killer aren’t you
“Agh!”
?sorry? Aren?t you sorr,y?*
It was stronger than before, completely assaulting Kin’s mind and subverting his train of consciousness.
Eh? Why can’t I t^%nk?
What i$ thi&*)?
More and more, Kin’s mind began to decohere.

The S???? began moving tow???s Kin again, it’s mo??? opening again to reveal the acid-spewing appen??ge.
What’s going o& wi^h my b$5^^@n?
Kin’s thoughts were annihilated as soon as they be??n, the mental onslau?ght crushing his logical processes to pieces.
I’m--

As all his thoughts faded to white and Kin’s vision blurred out, he could faintly hear someone laughing. An rusty, old, corroded sound that had the sour tang of things better left unremembered.

The Werewolf Cheerleader
Being a cheerleader is easier than being a werewolf. Jessica Tumbleleague is a typical teenage girl who loves being a cheerleader at Moondale High. But after an encounter with a werewolf in the woods, Jessica discovers a frightening world she never thought is real. Dangerous magic, deadly fierce spirits, and other malevolent creatures. Now Jessica must fight the forces of darkness to protect her hometown while balancing her supernatural life with her high school life. But can she control the beast within herself? Note: This is a rewrite of the original with the same name. I decided to change the third-person style to first-person because I liked Jessica's voice better. She is funny and very strong. With the story only focusing on her, I can keep the mystery suspenseful and the reader can experience what Jessica is experiencing. It is a typical YA style, but it is fun to write as your main character. There are changes, but the first and second books will be similar to the third-person chapters. Let me know what you think and I hope you will enjoy this new version of the Werewolf Cheerleader. I will post the chapters every Friday in the afternoon. P.S, there is a Werewolf Cheerleader short story published in the Tales of Dungeons, All Hallows book. Titled The Werewolf Cheerleader: Castle and Ghouls. The short is also in first-person, which made me decide to change the book series into first-person. The link is below if you want to check it out. https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B08MCS82R5

Slaying Monsters for Dummies
East coast, late 2018. A handful of people with nothing in common find themselves targeted by kidnappers. It sounds like a job for the FBI, except that the criminals are not quite human anymore, and the victims find themselves wielding strange abilities. How exactly are you supposed to explain that to the cops? You don't. You survive, fight and strive, and most importantly you prepare, for magic is coming back and there is a world to save. And a market to corner. Image by Bella Bergolts. https://www.deviantart.com/bellabergolts The story is told from the perspective of the two protagonists. I have finished writing two arcs and will upload them quickly, the upload rate will slow down after that. I welcome corrections and constructive criticism, in particular when it comes to inconsistencies.

Code Name: GLITCH
Major Xiomar Haydn is a damn good soldier, and an even better mechanic, although he does have a tendency to get himself thrown into the stockades for getting on the general's bad side. To keep him busy and out of trouble, Xiomar is assigned the task of repairing an old Mech that hasn't been touched in fifteen years. He knows he can fix it--he's Chief Mechanic. What he doesn't know, however, is that GLITCH has a mind of its own. Literally. In the midst of a war between two countries, Xiomar and his newly-repaired Mech are caught in the middle. The enemy is trying to obtain GLITCH's technology... the power to give their own Mechs sentience and dominate the world. Xiomar finds himself pondering the morality of forcing a sentient being to fight on his behalf, and what that means for him as a dutiful soldier. With the future filled with uncertainty, Xiomar and GLITCH are certain of one thing--no one's going down without a fight.
