《Hit The Road, Jack!》Hit the Road, Jack! : Hit What?!

Timoty made his way to Jack, who started to get up from his seat.
- No, no. No Need to get up. I shall sit myself instead.
Jack listened to him, but didn’t care. With as much rage as he was feeling, staying sit when he told him to do so was but an offense!
Somewhere in his mind something about “reverse psychology” passed through as a thought, but he quickly rationalized that with an “what if he knew I would think of that?”.
In the end, being sincere was still the best strategy!
- Oh, fine then. Good evening Jack. And welcome to my Demon Kingdom!
A little bit of rage bubbled on Jack’s throat. He felt an immense desire to punch Timoty in the face right at that moment.
[- Where is she?]
- She is fine, we helped getting her out of prison and left her at home.
Jack was stunned. His imagination had created a whole scenario for what was happening. His daughter would have been held hostage by Timotys’ men, blinded and bind on some half-lit warehouse. They would threaten him with torturing her, and he would be forced to become their pawn! Worst even - some of the men would have lowly desires and…
Never would have he imagined that Timoty would instead have taken her out of prison!
What was happening?
His mind was in disarray!
As for Timoty, that is, Carlos… he was smiling on his mind, while on the game his avatar remained expressionless.
Of course, taking Christina out of prison was a bit too much to believe, but they had indeed taken her out of the police station - and she was more than happy for that!
On the real world, Dr.Hudderson showed a wry smile as well. Wouldn’t Carlos have done something earlier if he wanted to?

Christina’s whereabouts were clear for anyone to see, given they searched a bit. In fact, she hadn’t even changed her surname. Anyone with a phone book could find her under the “Hooligan” surname!
In a sense, Jack was truly fortunate for Carlos to have been the one managing the entrance and exit of people from Another World for all these years.
Had other, less scrupulous organizations, found about Jack’s position in that world and managed to lay roots in there, and he might be on a though situation indeed!
- Don’t worry, we are helping her on other ways as well. She has been very different after her husband left her and her grandmother passed away. My condolences, by the way.
Jack’s mind took another blow.
His mother had passed away? Christina had been married, and her husband left her?!
To this moment, he didn’t know if his mother was still alive or not. What about Elicia’s?
It was a fact that, somewhere deep on his mind, he expected for his mother to die at a certain point. He and Elicia were aware that these kinds of things would happen to people from the outside world.
But now he had news. Concrete news. A deep desire for knowing what was happening outside of Another World was suddenly ignited on him, and, for a moment, he indeed danced on Carlos’ palm.
Fortunately for him, his many mental resistances were able to affect even this kind of non-standard psychological attack - one that wasn’t from a skill, but used some of the neural pathways a mind attack skill would.
He took a deep breath and calmed himself.
On the real world, dr.Hudderson excused himself and left the room. No one stopped him, for that was not needed - Jack was already on the state of mind he had accorded to help Carlos achieve with him.

The virus spread through a being that was being modified and experimented on. Within two month the human population on the earth reduced to a mere 35%. The rest?? Cold, Unfeeling, emotionless, and dead walking corpses. This is the beginning of hell on earth. Ash Kage (20):Has a very guarded personality. He doesn't easily let others too close to his heart. Doesn't know how to really hide his expressions. Has a very valued unique ability that everyone seeks during the apocalypse. He made one mistake which turned his entire life into a living nightmare - he pushed Rhys Grant. After one life of torture he is reborn but the moment he is reborn is still after he made the mistake.Is he fated to go through the same hellish life again? Rhys Grant (23):Was part of a gang so has lots of fighting experience. Becomes one of the major figures of the northern base. The kind of person who hates you until death if you cross him but loves you to heaven and back if you are dear to him. Stubborn as a bull doesn't listen to anyone once he makes up his mind.Hates Ash Kage. Remembers his past life and still hates Ash. This story is also published on Wattpad. Disclaimer: this is a BL story that means both the main characters are boys. Its also tagged as 18+ so be warned. This might not just include sex but also violence, gore, abuse and rape because that's how a real apocalypse is. If you are uncomfortable with that I advice you not to read. And finally, I haven't decided if the ending is a happy one or not so don't expect me to change the plot just because you want a happy ending.
8 75Shadow in the Snow
To live in a circus, to run away to one; this is the dream of many. The shining lights and the music and the cheering of the crowds are appealing to some. How little they know! This is the story of two brothers who were raised in a circus. One, a slave to the Master -- his most brilliant performer and a boy of pure white who has never been allowed to see the sun, nor feel the grass beneath his feet, nor the touch of rain upon his skin. The other, a slave to his brother -- a guardsman, trapped there not by chains but by love and loyalty. When fate proves unexpectedly kind to them on an otherwise cruel day, they find themselves free along with the girl they have been raised with and must find their way in a broken world, all the while being hunted without pause and without mercy. The Master has lost his prize. He is determined to reclaim it.
