《Day of Doom》Chapter 4
Advertisement
Despite what humans may think, most cats have 99 lives, although some richer ones have 999 and some poorer ones have 9. This is because taxes are calculated based on the number of digits the numbers have. Taxes are also the reason that cats love balls. Balls have a lot of volume, yet almost none of the surface area touches the ground. Balls of yarn are especially enticing.

David woke to the dogs' barking once again.
It was probably going to have to become a part of his morning routine.
He was surprisingly calm today because not being calm would result in more harm than good. No, he wasn't thinking rationally for once; It was just that not thinking about it at all was easier than losing some brain cells thinking about it. It was just a coincidence that not stressing over it at all was rational.
After all, Sunday was his second favorite day of the week, with Saturday being the first. The rest of the days of the week, those cursed workdays, went Friday, Wednesday, Tuesday, Thursday, and, finally, the cursed piece of shit that was known as Monday.
Having realized that it would be rational to not give too much thought to the fact that Sunday was, in fact, going to repeat itself over and over like those time-loop books he read before, David suddenly started screaming and slapping himself.
When that didn't help, he started banging his head against the table, after which he then proceeded to curl into a fetal position and cry in his room, something he, admittedly, did very often.
When that didn't help either, he went to make some coffee.

As David gulped down his cup of coffee, he reprimanded himself for trying to think without drinking coffee, and also just trying to think in general. He had no talent for thinking; He was made to apologize for things he didn't do.

And with that in mind, David started thinking about the time loop, ignoring the fact that the sun suddenly went out and people were screaming outside.
Every morning, he woke up and started his morning routine.
Every morning, the sun went out when he started drinking his coffee.
Even though he started drinking his coffee at different times.
This...
So it was his fault that the sun went out?
No, it couldn't be.
He was only made to apologize for things that weren't his fault, not things that were.
But why did his mom only call once?
...Forget it. He wasn't one of those detectives, or one of those protagonists in the mystery books, or even a wannabe detective.
He was a freaking normal person; He wasn't just going to start thinking rationally when the sun went out, even if he got past panicking.
Instead, he would do the one thing anyone in his position would do: Read web fiction and watch movies on Netflix.

We are sorry. Due to the laziness and unwillingness to continue the plot of the protagonist test subject, this chapter has been cut short. We will now give you an info dump little explanation of the recent events.
Humans have stolen our mythical ancient texts from ancient times around 600 years ago. We have allowed them to keep it as they seem only to use it as "filler text" and do not know the magical properties of it, nor how to use it. However, a while ago, they have accidentally created a program that can generate an infinite amount of it, something we have not managed for millennia. We are now in the process of extracting said code, which should take infinity divided by infinity (21) days. We have used part of our incomplete texts to generate a spell that will make the same day, the day of doom, repeat over and over. This will then be passed off in the future as a freak solar eclipse resulting from the alignment of planets. Most humans will not notice a thing. There is, however, one that will be our "test subject"-- The one that the spell will be based around.

Cheis of Veraleigh the Necromancer is a hero renowned throughout the realms, but that doesn't mean her social life is doing all that well -- she'd rather hunt monsters and write new spells than deal with the unpleasant reality of her impending middle age. But when an ancient evil awakens, she just may have to make up her mind about what she wants out of life -- and deal with what life wants out of her.

Sanguine
The Coles are probably the definition of a small dysfunctional family, even if they weren’t the worst in existence; they would probably be lauded as an example of the term. The Coles were a small family though. The father, Oliver Cole, was an asshole ex-football jock who bounced around in small paying jobs after wasting most of his life drinking, drugging and whoring. The daughter, Stacy Cole, was smart, but had many issues including anger, trouble with authority, and occasional suicidal thoughts, and was kicked out of many a school for disruptive behaviour. The son, Mike Cole, was innocent, and tried his best to be kind to anyone and everyone, however his own speech impediment, and slow nature only aided people to bully and belittle him, including his own father. The Coles were indeed a dysfunctional family. At least they were, until they got to the small town near the border between the United States and Canada, Sanguine. Welcome to Sanguine. You will stay. With the exception of the first chapter, each chapter only follows one character. The first chapter is the only chapter in which I will include 'Sides' where it follows a different character. This is a short Lovecraftian story, it won't go above seventeen chapters. Note: the book cover is my first attempt, it might not even remain like it is, I was just tired of seeing the standard 'no cover' thing on it.

Infested
One billion people from one hundred thousand universes have been dropped onto a singular planet five times larger than Earth. In the corner of their eye were three numbers: 1,000,000,000. 15. 10. Nobody could figure out what it meant until fifteen years after the initial transportation, as out of the blue, a message repeated itself in their minds for twenty-four hours. “Only ten can return. The rest will die. There is no time limit,” Following the global message, genocides ran rampant, with established friendships broken, families ripped apart, blood alliances betrayed, and leaders felled in seconds. How? [The Evgnomon] The Beholden; hidden throughout the realm were artefacts: weapons, information, tools from beings and societies of a higher plane. It was up to the humans to scour the land and take them by hook or by crook if they ever wished to go back. Whisked into this world as a mere babe, I suppose it was lucky I didn’t die in the chaos. But as I stare into the rotten, tattered pages of the accursed book laid upon the pedestal in front of me; and the unnerving gaze of our professor trained onto the back of my head silently pressuring me to become the avatar of grotesques unspeakable and undecipherable to the human mind. O, how I wish I did...
