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

The Portals of Albion
Portals to other worlds. Siblings with a secret. A world in need of magic. Zach is haunted, scarred by his time spent in a place that might as well have been hell. Zara, his sister, even more so. After years of torturous experiments, they were finally rescued. But the years since then haven’t been easy. Both siblings just want a break, something to take their minds from the past. The portals that appeared all over the world a hundred years ago are the key. The reason behind years of captivity now holds the answer to their problems. For the second time in his life, Zack awakens as a ‘Traveler’. Someone possessing the ability to pass through these portals and venture into the mystic realms. What begins as a fresh start soon attracts the attention of nobles and those with less savory intentions. When you have known nothing but distrust for those in power, what would you do to remain in control of your life? I will be uploading new chapters on Tuesday and Saturday each week at 4pm Mountain Standard Time. (The story has been described as X-men meets Narnia. Which while not entirely accurate, is still a fun way of looking at it.) (Note: As with my other stories, this one focuses more on the characters than on constant action. The Lite-LitRPG and Gamelit elements are introduced into the story gradually.) Author's Note: This is my raw, mostly unedited text. I am using RR to test out this story as I'm writing it to get a feel for how the published and edited copy will be received. Certain sections of the story will be changed or added to when I publish it as well.

8 224Astoria
The adventurers of heroes and villains weave together in the world of Astoria. Start with any series. Later on, they'll weave together, much like the Marvel universe. Series 1 - THE MERCHANT WHO WOULD BE KING Hadiin is sick of being poor and surrounded by a growing pool of billionaires. Life is unfair. Then a mysterious being offers him a chance to go to another world where he can be anything he wants, a world with magic and skills and potential. After seeing everyone else get rich, he decides it's his turn. As he starts a new life as a merchant in a fantasy world, he meets a dragon sorceress, a Lady vampire, and runs afoul of a former adventurer who is as much gangster as merchant. Series 2 - LOVE AND GLORY Ai is a deaf student in the musical arts program at Kyoto University. Yeong, an aspiring teacher and part of the archery club, is a university exchange student from Korea. They meet under the cherry blossoms along the Philosopher's Path and sparks fly—only for both to find suddenly themselves in another world, surrounded by corpses, a magical ritual gone very wrong. With the help of a knight commander and a star mage, they stumble into mystery and a new life.

In a world inhabited by vampires, various factions are vying for dominance, whether through wars or grueling tournaments. In the midst of the conflict, two unsuspecting humans become caught in the battle. Note: My first story on here, I wanted to try writing a story with battles and leveling up, the kind of story where a character starts at the bottom and world their way up. I hope this story is a good chance to see what works and try out a few different ideas I’ve had.
