《Unknown Dimension》Chapter 1. The boy on the yellow bus.
Advertisement
Prologue
It was a very sunny day in the main port of my country, I was a security officer.
My job was divided into 5 parts, exit. entrance, contended property, pedestrian spot, and yard. The latter was a field full of goods, especially vehicles, that are imported into the country through cargo ships, or inside containers, which can last to reach the country every 2 or 3 weeks from where they depart, which means that every day and every hour merchandise enters the dock.
Usually on ships where the goods come, only sailors and the ship's captain travel, if someone tried to travel between the goods or vehicles they could die trying.
My first obligation when I get to work is to verify that the guns and radios are loaded. Second verify that anything that is recorded in the log is in the yard and at the place, where it is assigned that day.
The log is a book, a kind of notebook that points out who was in the working spot, the occurrences or incidents that occurred during the day and any merchandise that are received from or removed from the yard.
What brings me to the third task, when I arrive at my job is to check the field with the merchandise, because I had to check what the previous shift at service had left us. And so, avoid being held responsible for the loss of goods supposedly left here.
Then I found a yellow bus, full of things, toys, appliances, books, quilts... etc. When I suddenly saw cold blue eyes, looking sadly.
This surprised me, I thought I was looking at a black-haired boy, who was wearing a white shirt. I clean my glasses to make sure I was not seeing visions. After this I'm sure my eyes weren't cheating on me, I ran to the bus to rescue this child. It was a miracle that the boy was alive since he was in the bones.

I opened the bus door violently, I couldn't believe anyone dared to send someone, on such a lethal journey. I hug the child with my chest, trying to bring him to reality, the poor child was frozen, but I didn't care. The child's face seemed dead or minimally lost, I embraced him as tightly as I could and it seemed to me that the child started crying, as realizing that he would no longer be alone, I wipe away his tears.
"You will take care of me forever, " said the child with his eyes and smile. I wonder how I could understand his look, but I decided to ignore the child's feelings. I asked if it were a question or a statement or what I was trying to say to me Why I couldn't answer that because I had to report it first to the PANI: National Children's Board of Trustees, which I would call in other countries as a National Child Welfare Service. Besides, I had to ask my wife's permission first.
I sat the boy near me and said to my partner Chavarria:
"Chava, watch the kid!"
While I was looking for the cell phone in my pocket.
"How much are you going to pay me to take care of him?" Chava said.
"Brother, be serious and look at it for a moment, while I call the PANI, " I said. Chava reluctantly accepted the work I asked him to do. While I move a little away from them, looking for signal for the phone, losing sight of them.
"Aaaah, brother, brother, the brat is fading." Chava scream.
"What?" I answered him. I turned around and to my surprise, the child became invisible, in front of us.
"What the hell?" I scream.
"Hail Mary Pure Hail Mary Very Pure!" Chava repeated, several times while lingering himself. I looked everywhere to make sure it wasn't a hidden camera joke.

"Brother, we have entered the Unknown Dimension." Chava said with his face very pale.
"Damnit! The problem with what my partner said was that once the Unknown Dimension enters your life, your life ceases to be normal! " I thought.
"Ha ha ha..." I heard a laugh from a little girl,
“Chava did you hear that!” I ask Chavarria.
“I did not hear anything!” He said swallowing saliva. While he is covering his ears. With a lot of fear in his eyes. I forced myself to think it was part of my imagination to.
Chavarria and I we promised not to tell anyone about the encounter with the ghost girl.
The sad thing is that sometimes, on a sunny day, I feel a shiver, and when I try to find out where the cold wind comes from, I hear a laugh making fun of me. And when I look where the laughter comes from, I can see her hugging my legs.

Child of Dusk
Life can be cruel, especially to those who don't fit in. But what would you do if you were given a second chance? Tim was a nobody during his time on Earth. As a penniless orphan with no friends to speak of, life was tough for him in his little Arizona town in the '90s. He'd utterly lost hope for the future until one day, he was reincarnated as Alvanue, beloved daughter and heir to the Starlit Throne of Silthonduen. Now, Alvanue has everything a princess could ever want: a loving family, loyal comrades and an entire kingdom at her finger tips. But what good is a kingdom when there's a whole world of magic and mystery out there to explore? *** Ok! Disclaimer time. I do edit my own work and I do not have a beta reader, so please feel free to point out any errors or plot holes (politely, of course). Each chapter will be around 4,000 to 6,000 words long and while I was posting every day at the beginning, I think I'll cut that down to once a week for now, excluding bonus chapters! I really don't want to get burned out. I started writing this because I love world building, so this is gonna be heavy on lore. If you're not into that, there's still a ton of character progression and action to look forward to! It's going to be slow at the beginning, but I promise it will pick up eventually. Thanks for checking my story out, I appreciate it a lot!

The Fall
Perhaps the most well known of all devils, demons, or fallen angels is the one known as Lucifer, Satan, the Father of Lies. The cultural influence of this figure throughout history is by no means small. Despite that, it wasn’t until the time of Milton’s classic – Paradise Lost – that we saw an attempt to portray a dramatized version of the events leading to this figure’s fall from grace and power. And while this is the case, Paradise Lost is not about Lucifer – though it goes into great detail about his potential musings. No, Paradise Lost was, and still is, about the fall of mankind. So, in light of this, and the feeling that the classical story deserved another telling, I present to you all The Fall – a story focused particularly on Lucifer’s fall from grace and his musings both before and after.

To Blunt The Sharpest Claw
The Velvet Paw of Asquith Novels are a series of New Fable genre novels that involve cats and dogs and high adventure and romance and espionage and food-fights and hotels and explosions and car chases. With large casts, exotic locations and an absurdity only possible in the absence of human characters, the Velvet Paw of Asquith Novels blend Wind in the Willows with James Bond, though with more cafes and fewer badgers. This submission is the third title in its Morigan Trilogy, beginning two-thirds of the way through the series' longest adventure yet. Here's a quick recount of what's happened so far: When Oscar Teabag-Dooven, a Velvet Paw of Asquith, is ordered to investigate how a mysterious poet, the Ar'dath-Irr, is able to travel instantaneously around the world, two very bad things happen. Firstly, he meets Lydia, an insane librarian who punches everyone in the face, and secondly, the Ar'dath-Irr reveals he is intent on taking over the world. Although this second thing might be considered worse than the first, Oscar feels differently following Lydia’s destruction of a cafe, a library and his face in one afternoon. In comparison, thwarting world domination just seems easier. Along with Binklemitre, a fellow Velvet Paw of Asquith, and Lydia, Oscar infiltrates the Ar’dath-Irr’s realm of dark poetry to discover the dog not only intends wrenching the world apart but has no intention of cleaning up afterwards. As a result, Oscar decides it’s all too hard and goes home to have a bath. After lots of arguing and the sort of food fight that posh restaurants were invented for, Lydia and Binklemitre convince him that they must stop the Ar’dath-Irr for several reasons, one of them quite serious. A vibrant cast of characters collide as Oscar, Lydia and Binklemitre battle the Ar’dath-Irr and his disciples in an adventure involving exploding cafés and appalling hotels, car chases and inadvertent surgery, dreadful poetry, lots of arguments and at least one temper-tantrum, all of which draw the three into dark and convoluted corners of a world they weren’t aware existed. Moreover, any chance of sitting down and discussing things over some buns disappears when Lydia punches the Ar’dath-Irr in the face. This results in her having a psychotic episode and Oscar getting run over by an ambulance. Although Binklemitre suffers neither, he witnesses both, which is almost as dreadful, though not nearly so messy. An enormous battle ensues, followed by a dinner party and then everything explodes.
