...
I really don't know how to start this.
What we just witnessed, what just happened...
"Mr. Davenport" has just doomed the very city he built with his own hands.
As much... As much as I want to throw away my reptuation, throw away my 50/50 facts and opinion balance on everything I cover... I can't. Because unlike that egotastical monsters, I know my words have power behind them.
So. Why not give the man of the hour he's somehow deserving of?
Elias "Mr. Davenport" Samson, the tycon thypoon that came from nowhere. He surprisingly has kept his past to his chest, but he's made various ventures, conquests, and influence since the late 80's. What were bold, erratic business decisions all came together in founding the Island City of Davenport.
The city was once a failing port town, very effected by the embargos and interrupted trade routes by the Shift Noumena, which gives you an idea about how... Theatric this man is.
Davenport is the crowned jewel, a physical representation of his idea that progress is the live blood of humanity. He's a humanist, he loves humanity, he wants humanity to finally help itself, humanity, humanity, humanity.
So why, for humanity's sake, did he do what he did just now?
Why did he cause a near crush of people, with 20 people being injured?
And who knows what else the international response to what happened will be?
... I still maintain what I said before.
It's when things like this happen when what I've said before really, really mattered.
Remember. Please, for your sake, versus mine.
Rage against the dying of the light.

8 176Cary Simms: The Fairy Mushroom Forest
From a young age, Cary Simms knew that she wasn't like the other boys her age. She didn't know why or how that was, but it seemed apparent to the bullies of her school. They would often call her names, chase after her after school, and beat her up when they could catch her. Her only protection, besides escape, was in the words of the Good Book. But that was before she stumbled into the supposedly haunted house at the end of her street. When a mysterious ring and a drawing on the back wall of the post office opened up a whole new world for her, things quickly went from weird to scary. At a new school, in a new world, surrounded by people who had access to magic, all Cary could think of was how to escape the witches that had her trapped there. It was only having her best friend by her side that gave her any comfort at all. ***This is my first attempt at a middle grade book, and would appreciate feedback. Please note, this is a second draft, and might not represent the final product.***
