《Petmaster Evolutions》Chapter 1 - Introduction (edited 9/2/17)
Advertisement
My name is Chris Radford, I am 40 years old, divorced, with one child currently in the fifth grade. My story up until now has been pretty normal. I grew up in a small town which I left as soon as I graduated. I then moved from job to job for the next fifteen years until finally becoming an air conditioning repair man. It pays the bills and makes sure that my family is taken care of, what more can you ask for?
The divorce happened soon after my son was born as I did not approve of how she wanted to raise him, and she did not care for my methods either. This has caused a lot of contention between us and leaves him stuck in the middle more often than I would care for him to be. The day that everything happened to me started out normally but went to hell pretty quickly, but looking back now I can’t say that I would change much.
I had just finished a long day of work installing a new system in a customer’s house. Of course, the damn thing was in the attic in Florida in August, so I was completely worn out and frustrated which is not a time that you want to hear from the ex.
“Hello?” I answered the phone.
“Chris, we need to talk,” my ex-wife Chelsea’s said.
“What is it about this time?” I responded.
“Justin,” my son, “told me about you taking him out with you on a date with some whore, I do not want him to exposed to the trash you could pick up. If you want to slut around don’t you dare involve my son with them!”, Chelsea yelled, “If you don’t I will take you back to court and take away all of your rights.”
Chelsea had been that way forever. She wanted complete control over everything I did which I put up with until she started doing it to Justin too. Since then it has been an ongoing fight over who should have the right to decide how Justin would live his life, his mother or Justin himself. While an eleven-year-old is not responsible enough to make every decision, they should be able to decide at least what color they like.

“Listen, Chelsea, we have been over this before. There are no women. This is a single woman. I have been dating her for over a year, and it is time she gets to know OUR son. I want to see how they do together before I go further with her”, I said.
“You have got to be kidding me!”, Chelsea screamed, “I am not allowing some two-bit whore to be around MY son. You either break it off or kiss your visitation rights goodbye”.
“So the men you date is none of my business, but a woman that I may want to marry is all your purview? Do you hear yourself, why can’t you understand that you can’t treat people like this?”, I yelled.
Things just went downhill from this point, and I don’t really want to bore you with further details of that conversation or the lawyers called as a result of it.
Now here I am nearly 8 PM, but it’s still pretty light out since the sun will not set until about 8:30. I am finally at home, relaxing and cooling off by the pool with a beer in my hand. Unfortunately, my girlfriend won’t be coming over since she is an RN and is working nights for the extra money right now to try to get out of her lease early to move in with me, so all I have to take out my frustrations is a twelve pack and a bug zapper.
I am just laying here by the pool in a lawn chair, waiting for it to get dark enough to see the stars. I honestly hate the summer, it’s too hot, too humid, and it never gets dark early enough to relieve some of the miasma that constantly surrounds you.
I have been flying over the surface of this planet for several days and have found no one. This planet is worthless, there is no one here, and these people are so intolerant, it’s a wonder how they survive at all. Luckily the only intelligent life in this world lives on the land masses, so as soon as I finish this one stretch of land, I can finally get out of here and back to civilization. I wish I could have used my ship, but they might have detected it with what scanners they have on this planet, thinks Denala while flying down the west coast of Florida on her griffin. The griffin being a magical creature is invisible to normal humans. The ship would be too because of the magical shield, but the normal engines put off heat which would be detectable so better safe than sorry. Of course, right about the time she thinks, that is when her scanner goes off that she has been spotted. “You have got to be kidding me, there is someone with potential here?”

3 beers down in 30 minutes. The sun is finally setting, and soon I will start to get my stars. I don’t know why, but laying out and looking at the stars has always been relaxing, well that and playing RPG's but I really do not want to deal with people after today that’s for sure. “That is one strange looking bird,” I mumble.
“Just my damn luck,” Denala mumbles, and then louder addresses her griffin, “Talon loop around and land near here so I can check out the local.”
The doorbell interrupts my lazing around and has me stumbling to the front door where I find some chick in a uniform. “May I help you?” I say.
“My name is Denala, and I wanted to ask you a few questions if I may,” she responded.
“Honestly it’s been a hell of a day, so if you are doing a survey, I think I will pass.” I slur out.
She rolls her eyes and mumbles something under her breath before shoving past me into my house. “I am not here for a survey, did you see something flying over a few minute ago?” Denala asks.
Instead of answering I get belligerent and yell, “Who do you think you are, you don’t have the right to just waltz in here and ask me questions about some strange bird.”
“So you did see something?” she confirms while ignoring my question.
Confused I respond “Yes, but what does that have to do with you and why are you barging in here?” I ask.
“I am a recruiter that was assigned to check this world for new members, but honestly I did not expect to find anyone. This world has no mana so there should be no way for someone to develop who could detect, much less see through a mana shield.”, she said.
Great I think, crazy ex-wife, and now bat crap crazy walks through my door. Today is just not my day. “Please get out before I call the cops. I have had enough crazy today and do not want to deal with more right now. I have a nice buzz going that you are currently ruining so please just leave.” I say.
“Sorry, no can do. You have to come with me.” She responds.
“Like hell, I do crazy woman,” I grab her arm, “get out of my house.” Unfortunately, I cannot seem to budge her which is odd considering she is a lot smaller than I am. “What the hell,” I say.
Calmly she replies “I am much stronger than you are currently, and no you don’t have a choice in the matter. My scanner logged your sighting, as such I have to recruit you. Basically, you have a join or die scenario. We cannot allow word of your existence to get out.”
Being fairly drunk I still think I have a chance at this point and pick up my phone to call the cops.
“Don’t do that, I do not want to have to incapacitate you,” she says.
Being that Denala looks like she is 5’5 to 110 lbs to my 6’2 220 lbs I think to myself like you could and continue to dial the phone. The next thing I know I am lying on the floor with my head ringing. I feel myself being moved and hear her say, “I warned you.”

Void Breaker
Note: Sadly, this story is currently on hiatus :( Elizabeth Sayler had lost everything in the bombing of Reaver Stadium. Her career, her fame, her power — all of it vanished the moment she lost use of her legs. Now, she's beginning to lose hope of ever healing herself… until her world integrates into the Void. When the apocalypse comes in a flurry of System messages, everyone on earth is given a choice: give up what they value most in themselves, and acquire a path to their heart’s greatest desire. Most would hesitate, but for Liz? She has nothing to lose, and absolutely everything to gain. Armed with newfound powers in a world teeming with monsters, she’s determined to not only survive, but to somehow break the Void’s endless assault. * * * This is a small note about the portrayal of disability in this story. As much research as I do and as many people as I ask, I will in the end only be able to understand a small portion of paraplegia and similar disabilities. Therefore, if there is anything particularly disrespectful, please do not hesitate to contact me. I always intended to portray disability in a respectful way in this story, but please know that Liz as a character does not start out with a healthy view of disability. This is intentional, and a large part of her character development comes from this view changing as she learns. Disability is not something she simply "discards" at the beginning of the story, but an ongoing theme and a part of her journey.
8 396The Reincarnated Boy's Tears
If one knows only coldness and bitterness from those who should love them, can one blame them for how they turn out? If a boy who suffers from his parents, who cries out but is never helped, develops a cold heart of hatred, can one expect him to adhere to the morals of the people? And if a child like that is given power...can he be held responsible for how he reacts? After getting beaten and abused to death by his parents, a boy wakes up and finds himself reincarnated in another world. However, after getting his memories back at age six, he has still faced abuse and neglect as an orphan of the slums, eventually kidnapped and brought outside the city...when he wakes up, everyone is dead, and he is left alone. Will he be able to survive? Will his bitter and cold heart ever warm up? Or will he end up suffering? Or will a single spark of kindness be able to save him, a single light in the dark? Only time will tell. (Cover image found from Pintrest, could not find original creator listed or named)
8 181Son of Thunder
Right, I really suck at this synopsis crap. The story follows Taran as he grabs fate by the short hairs and makes his own destiny. Seizing a power that is not his by birth, he uses it to protect those he cares about. There will be magic, monsters and most likely some sex. (This is my first story here, give me some tips and pointers. My grammar may also not be up to snuff. As for a release schedule, nothing set in stone. Though I will try once ever week or two. Length of the chapters will vary. Mature 18+ Sex, violence, gore, strong language)(Holy shit, the old synopsis had some glaring errors.)

8 218Mo'arka e karbala
BISMILLAH HIR-RAHMAN NIR-RAHIM. Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullah; Duniya me aise bahot se waqiyat aur haadse guzre hain jo insaniyat aur sharafat ke naam par badnuma daag hain. Jin ki yaad kuch waqt tak baqi rehti hai phir khatm ho jati hai.Lekin HAADSA-E-KARBALA ek aisa dard naak waqiya hai, aur is me aisi darindgi aur wehshi pan tha ke is ki yaad zamana bhi na mita saka. Balki aaj 1350 saal guzarne par bhi is ki yaad taaza hai.Is ki wajah ye hai ki Hazrat Imam Husain(r.a) ne dashte karbala me jis sabr, shuja'at aur himmat ka sabut diya hai, us ki nazir(misal) nahi milti. Aap par intehai be-rehmana aur wehshiyana zulm kiye gaye. lekin Aap ne sachai ka sath nahi chhoda, ALLAH SUB'HANAHU ko Aap ki mazlumi, be-kasi, aur be-chargi aisi pasand aai ke Aap ka zikr baaki rakha aur In sha ALLAH qayamat tak baaqi rahega.Bhook pyas ki shiddat, azizon ki maut ka sadma, aurton ki be-hurmati ka khayal ye sab baatain sabr aazma thi. Magar Aap ne har sadma har taklif ko bardasht kiya. Aap kis daur se guzar rahe honge is ka andaza lagana bhi mushkil hai. Yaqinan ye waqiya dil toh kya ruh tak ko jhinjod kar rakh dene wala hai, Lekin logon ne is ki Asliyat ko nahi samjha ya toh Husn-e-aqidat me doob kar asliyat ka inkaar karne lage. Logon ne aisi riwayatein gadhli hain jinka koi wajud hi nahi tha.Is qisse "Mo'arka-e-karbala" ko Husne aqidat se likha gaya hai, is me koi andhi taqlid ya gair taarikhi waaqiya shamil nahi hai. Balki jahan tak mumkin hosaka hai galat riwayaton ki tardid ki gai hai. Hamara maqsad logon ko sahi waqiyat se waqif karana hai. "Ma'arka-e-karbala" Author: Maulana Muhammad Sadiq Husain Sardhanvi.Aap tak pahonchane ki koshish : ف۔ش۔
