Crowman was there. But unlike to the poster, he had a red beak.
"Crowman?" Boone's lips spilled out words.
Boone woke up. Now the clock had given up on showing something out of the dream world.
Boone turned his head on pillow. There he saw Crowman's poster on the table. But this time it did not have his face on it.
If the face had not disappeared, then he would have taken it as a nightmare but with the missing picture, his day was turning into a bad dream as well.
Panting, Boone stuffed the poster in his pocket and ran to the street. He was surprised to see a lot of new faces in the town.
He waved at the running cabs, but none of them stopped for him. Perhaps a dollar bill early in the morning was somewhat inferior to coffee.
There was no other option for him than to walk and see faces which he had never seen before. It was when one thing hit him.
He was yet to see someone whom he knew.
"You were right." Boone spoke to the woman when he found her on the same spot, "My wife is dead."
The woman removed her mask this time.
"Crowman killed her." Woman said.
"Why?" Boone was devastated.
"Greed took her."
"Greed of what?"
"Greed for reviving Ian."
"He is not dead!" he yelled at her.
"Or he is?"
"You know?" Boone narrowed his eyebrows.
"Maybe I do. But I don’t think it should be of your concern anymore because you are also dead."
"If this is your another attempt to freak me out. Then fuck you!"
"Boone, those people whom you are seeing today. Have you ever seen them before? I know you have not because they are souls of people who lived here. And you will not be able to see anyone you knew when you were alive."

Oh my God! Boone recalled while she continued, "Didn’t you wonder why you had to come here by feet? It is because no driver can see you. Not just your wife. Crowman killed you too."
No words came out from his mouth for a while, "How can I see you if I can't see anyone whom I knew when I was alive?"
"Do you know me? Had you ever seen me without my mask when I was alive?" she grinned.
"I don’t understand." Boone mumbled.
"You will need this." Woman took out a small paper from her cloak and gave it to him.
Boone read:
RULES FOR THE DECEASED
1) A soul can't see anyone whom he knew when he was alive.
2) If a soul is the product of suicide then that soul will not be able to see or contact any other soul. Neither other souls will be able to see him.
3) If a soul is killed by reaper's axe then the soul will be erased from existence. Such punishment is reserved for unforgivable crimes like:
-Unauthorized killing of a human.
-Trying to contact someone whom the soul knew when he was alive.
-Trying to contact Crowman or anyone associated with him.
Under the rules, there were some names of the ghosts which were erased.
"You can keep it." She said and vanished, leaving her mask on the ground.
Boone had little to no idea what the paper could serve him in the state of disbelief. It did not help him other than finding out those who had died recently like him.
Ghosts with the rule paper in their hands were as unaware as him. Everyone had equal concern and disbelief in their faces, which made Boone feel a little comfortable losing his life.

A Sinner's Eden
The Earth of the future is united under a single government, but not all things are well. The shape of the playing field may be changed, but the powerful still rule the weak.And those who do not conform with the rest of society are exiled to another world. A world that not even the technology of the future managed to tame.It should have been humanity's New World but ended up as nothing more than a penal colony. A place where the exiled are sent to die. Motivated by revenge, Magnus sets out on a quest to bring his own justice to his enemies. For that purpose, he is willing to go further than most others.But then he learns that if he truly wishes to change things, he can only find his answers beyond the gate. Having lived most of her life as an exile, Astra is a woman of few interests aside from survival and climbing the ranks of her clan.To achieve those goals, she certainly won't be squeamish when a chance literally falls into her lap, or will she? ——————————————————————————————— I am trying to go with a survival/medieval setting in this one. People from a technologically advanced society are thrown into a world where they can't maintain their tech. They are forced to rely on medieval technology where they have to make do with the limited resources they have and what little of their old technology is still working. Their gene manipulation allows them to have something akin to superpowers, but that doesn't help much against the monsters of their new world. Not sure yet whether sufficiently advanced technology will be discovered later on to count as magic. ——————————————————————————————— Author's Comment: I was asked about reading my work on other sites. The answer is simple: Currently, I am not active in any other networks than royalroadl.com. Only here, I correct mistakes and errors. If you read it anywhere else and have to pay for it or have to deal with an annoying amount of advertisement, You Are Being Betrayed. You would do good if you make other people in that network aware of it. This is a free project of mine for the purpose of having fun. And if people try to make money with it you shouldn't bother visiting their website. The only one whom I actually allowed to have my work on his website is Armaell who invested the time to compile them into pdf. (http://armaell-library.net/author/andur)

The London Phantom: A Superhero Webnovel
London is an old city. It has survived floods, fires, plagues and the man-made smog of industry. It has stood firm against the armies of Vikings, Saxons, Normans and the aerial might of the Luftwaffe. It has borne witness to dynsatic feuds, civil wars, military occupation and the sin of regicide. Through all these disasters the city has survived not through force of arms, though its walls were once the envy of the world, but through adapting to the times. Enemies become dependant on the city, and the wealth of the world that flows through it, and so become new allies. If the rulers change, then the city welcomes them with open arms, and open lines of credit. In this way the city seeks to preserve its ancient rights and position of power. Superheroes are a new phenomenon. The first superpowered man walked out of the Nevada desert in 1950, and the world was forever changed. Across the planet, men and women with exceptional abilities made themselves known. At first, they were little more than another source of fear in the era of Mutually Assured Destruction, but over time attitudes changed and the concept of the Superhero was created in the city of Los Angeles. From there the phenomenon spread across the globe; superheroes went from being feared arms of the state to a symbol of hope in these maddening times. Times have changed. Sixty years from the emergence of the first superhero, the City of London stands on a precipice. Two years have passed since the madman Fawkes nearly brought down the United Kingdom and the remnants of the Bow Street Runners, London's premier superhero team, are struggling to keep order in a city that seems on the brink of collapse. London stands on a knife's edge, with criminal organisations that once stuck to the shadows becoming more bold, and ancient powers from myth and legend making themselves known. Alexander Laszewski has recently 'awakened' and has become entirely unremakable, effectively making himself invisible to the world. He must use his newfound power to navigate a city on the edge of collapse. If only he could figure out how to turn it off.
