《PERCEPTION (A New Begining)》A Mother's Perception

Knock, knock, knock.
"Tom?"
I open the door but Tom isn't there only more police.
"Have you found my son?"
"Ms. Gun, we need to come in and talk?"
I let them in and three police officers come in after him.
"What's this about?"
"Please, let's sit."
Sit or stand it doesn't matter to me! have you found my fucking SON! No, I can't say that.
We sit down on the couch and he finally begins to speak.
"We have located your son."
"You have! Where is he? Is he alright? What the hell are we doing here then?"
I go to stand up but he grabs my arm to stop me. I sit back down and he lets go.
"It looks like he's headed here."
"He is how soon will--"
"Ms. Gun! We believe he has killed people. Including an officer."
"What why would he--"
"We need your permission to protect you, please. He is a danger to everyone right now, including himself. If we can secure this area we will have a better chance of capturing him...Alive"
"You're trying to kill him?"
"No, I don't want to. That's why you need to let us secure this area before he gets here. So no one else gets hurt."
"Do whatever you need but don't you hurt my boy. He's been through so much! He's delicate."
"Of course, we will do our best." The police officer reaches on his shoulder to his radio, "We have the go!"
Before I know it police start piling in from the front door. They start talking so fast that I can barely keep up.
"We all parked a block away so he shouldn't know we're here."
"Good, have some stay around the back and they need to be prepared to circle around the front once he has entered."

"Sir."
"Not now gunny, everybody we have already lost one officer today make sure it's the only one!"
"Sir!"
"What gunny!?"
"Another officer has been reported down and the perp has reportedly taken his car. At the rate he is traveling he should be here soon."
"God Dammit, everybody, get to your places. I want five people in here minimum. Cover each other's backs, we're not losing another today!"
Are they talking about Tom? It couldn't be, something isn't right. They have to have something mixed up. I have to call John. I pull out my phone and dial his number, he picks up instantly. "John it's me. Something is wrong with Tom. Police said they found him but they say he's killing people. Please, I know you were trying to tell me he needed help. I'm sorry I didn't listen, but I need your help now."
"Don't worry about it. I'll be there shortly and I'll take care of him. I promise."
"Thank you John--"
Oh, he already hung up. I hope he can get to him in time. For Tom's sake and mine. I don't know what I would do if something happened to him."
Sirens and the sound of cars speeding come from the distance, but they get so loud so fast. Oh my god was that a car crash. There's so much yelling. Gunshots? Are they trying to shoot my boy?
"Get down!"
"Ms. Gun get and stay low okay."
All the shooting stopped. Who's that yelling, it sounds terrifying?
"MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
I stand up, no one else would call me by that name. Even if the voice is different I know my son!
"TOM!"
A cop grabs me covering my mouth and pulls me back down, but not before I saw it. My boy standing in the doorway as the door flung open. He looks so sad, and he's covered in blood, just like his father. Can't they see he needs help? He's holding two guns! What happened to my son? Whoever did this to him, I swear I'll kill them!

I reach for my baby as I get pulled down. The cops all start rushing towards him.
Gunshots go off left and right until even with the gunshots everything seems quiet. There's screaming everywhere. Some cops rush in from the back door. I hear others yelling as they come in the front. The shots stop. I hear footsteps and then hear a gunshot, a few more than a gunshot. Peaking over the couch I see him. My beautiful boy who's all alone and hurt. I stand up and run towards

Human in a Demon's Hide
I had recently enrolled in the military as a lowly footsoldier. Oh, before you could proceed any further, let me tell you about myself. I ain’t some patriotic soldier that’ll lay down my life for the sake of my country. Hell no! That shit is for the people with loose screws! I had only a few goals when I joined the army: March into battle, kick ass, and earn me some cash! Achieving glory on the way wouldn’t hurt. I just need the money to feed my little brother and sister. Their world is all I want to protect. The glory is for washing clean the stains that my father left on the family name. We became such a joke in the country that our mother abandoned us. I don’t know if he really did betray the country, but I don’t care. For my little siblings to suffer the same mockery and humiliation that I did is unacceptable! To protect the smiles of my only family, I would do anything. Yet, life knows to shit on you when things are just getting good. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello, author-san here!This is my first story, set up in a fantasy world. It's based on the medieval and steam era where magic is rare and alchemy is used widely used as a weapon by people. There would be lots of action, adventure, betrayal, tragedy, romance, etc. ahead. Warnings-The mc is a bit mean and foul-mouthed, introvert. There would be strong language and lots of monologue narration by the MC. The stories are fast-paced and progressing faster. The chapters update would be unstable, depending on my daily life. You would get fast updates... or slow.Also, English isn't my first language. So don't expect perfect grammar :( P.S. - I would like some constructive critique and feedback!It fills my motivation gauge and increases that rate of chapter/week. (/>3

For King and Kin: A Fox's Journey
Two fox-kin siblings set out to serve a human king, hoping to secure ties with the royals that had formed in times of war. Yet, much is demanded of them as their father's reputation precedes them. They find the King struggling to keep his vassals from breaking the terms of the armistice. With reports of smuggling increasing and the nation's strategic resources at stake, their father is sent to oversee the border. The king, fearing for his own children, hopes for six more months. Meanwhile, tavern brawls turn bloody as a cry spreads across the land, "Loyalty? Or bread!". What to expect: - cold steel weapons with magic- colonial-esque era- elements of strategy (including logistics)- powerful mages that can't block a crossbow bolt. Except for some earth mages.- realistic depictions of violence. I don't care to focus on it. - other races introduced eventually, if they fit. - Australian english, except when I slip. Not much slang though, I reckon.
