《Revival Factory & Other Novellas》The Nymphs of Mosaic (Ch.20)
Advertisement
Local cops in Anderson Island weren’t used to of handling murder cases or suicide cases. Enforcement was supervised by Washington State Police Department and their representatives were cops from Tacoma Police Department.
This was the same place where notorious Brymer had been arrested. And there were the same cops who had played major role in arresting him and sending his back behind the bars.
"What do you think, Warner? A man is found dead inside a phone booth." Olliston told to his companion.
"I can make nothing of this thing. Heart attack is what comes to my mind after watching this." Warner said when he looked at wide open eyes of Dormer who looked to have died peacefully, "He had a clean death."
Jon Olliston still wasn’t saying anything while other cops around him were whimpering.
"What still does make you believe this is a murder?" Warner asked him, "You saw we've got no fingerprints anywhere. There are no damn fingerprints even on glasses of this booth!"
"I support your idea because I am also presuming the same. A man's silence doesn’t always mean he has ruse or disagreement in his mind."
"Doubts? Does it mean doubt?"
"Why doesn’t it? This man was mute and he is found dead inside a phone booth! If he was a man who could speak and died in phone booth then I would have considered this as an accident. But a mute man dies in phone booth. Mr. Alford needs to be informed about this thing."
"The old man is demented as fuck." Warner told him, "He may get insane and if he gets insane then we may lose some vital information which is inside his mind."
"Let him lose his mind. Being part of secrets is nothing but danger." Olliston looked at him.

"Why don’t you leave this job if you hate it so much?" Warner asked out of blue, "You don’t seem to be enjoying all this violence, mysteries and whatsoever."
"I have made my mind already. I may leave this department next month. While you and Benca have a much harder time here, I will be in Texas. I am aware of drug cartels there but it will be better than this active state. I don’t care which city in Texas they do transfer me to. I just don’t want to stay in Washington."
"And till that day you will remain this half – hearted?" Warner raised his voice which made him stand out from whimpering of other men.
"Hey, did you find whose number he had dialed before he died?" he asked another cop who had been listing number as much as he could.

Gaia Ark
Commander Coop, a four-armed, power-armored, super-soldier, undertakes a mission to assassinate the head of a religious cult bent on destroying the UPSF and everyone they protect. But no mission is ever that simple. GAIA ARK is an action adventure hero's journey featuring a cranky cyborg, vampiric sword, alien monsters, and enough self-discovery to provide a character arc. It's a little rough around the edges, a little crude. I started writing this story on November 2, 2018. This story is mid-composition. Please expect clunky prose, notes [in brackets], and incomplete...

Their Wife
Nea Riar, a human, accidentally stumbles upon a portal to another world full of everything she has thought to be a myth. There she meets five men; Fae, Demon, Shifter, Warlock, and Incubus. What these five men have in common is that they are each seen as a threat in a society ruled by matriarchy. In the world of Asorix, Arradona is a Queendom where women are superior. Most are physically closer to the size men, the difference in high not as great, and their magical capabilities are naturally stronger from birth. They dominate and tame men, claiming those they see fit as husbands to add to their growing harems. Those of the upper class compete with one another by comparing the number of husbands they have in their harems, ranging anywhere from the tens to the hundreds, and even a rare few in the thousands.In these lands, five men; Zev Dubois, Cassius Montgomery, Jaxon Novak, Ezra Larsen, and Axel Dimitrov are anomalies. They're stronger than any male that has existed, physically and in terms of magical capabilities. The extent of their power is unknown, but it's speculated that they are more powerful than women also. Their power and wealth has earned them a high status without having to marry a wife to gain it, something that was impossible before them. They are seen as a threat by the Council.In an attempt to control them, the Council orders that they must each take a wife in hopes that she can tame these men who show signs of being dominant. The women of Asorix stumble over one another trying to take at least one of the five as a husband for their harem because of their looks, money, and status in society that would all become their own.During this time the five men come across Damanea, a woman who isn't like the rest. She's the opposite of what women in their world are like. Instead of being dominant, assertive, and abusive, she's meek, cautious, and weak. So what do they do?They marry her.WARNING: Slow burn dark romance

Black Meridian
Here's a fact about humans: They are intelligent, versatile creatures with a tendency for murder and vice. Zeta, a swordsman from a villa at the summit of Greenwich Mountain, has heard many stories about the "Sigma World," the colloquial term for any and all things superpowered in the world. He's also heard of the many tragedies, as well as the many wonders humankind has created in its history, even if he has yet to see it in person. Following the philosophy of his teacher, Gin Kagan, Zeta intends to become a "Servant of Humanity," in an endeavor to protect mankind from its gravest threats, from power-hungry sigma-users, but most importantly, from itself. He's going to need a lot of allies to pull that off, even if he doesn't understand that just yet. This story is originally published at www.sigmacentral.wordpress.com.
