《GODFALL》4 Don't take my sunshine away
Advertisement
Babies cry, my stomach grumbles as I pull the children along using a half of the broken tree trunk in a world of ever fading light. Darkness forever spreading behind us, as long as demons remain here. Blink- It's only been a few hours. Over the cries, I shush them the best I can. I raise my head and lower the trunk as they wail and cry. They just won't stop! They must be quiet! I knock on my head, How did it go?
I start singing softly, the only thing I remember about my mother, "You are my sunshine, my only sunshine" They quiet down as the bright sun fades back into twilight- "You make my happy, when skies are-" They're catching up. "Gray- You'll never know deaar, how much I love-" I lift the trunk and slowly drag it along, looking back at smiles, a child dangerously close to falling off- "Tesyn." She crawls away from the edge with a wide smile, laughter. Where was I? "You'll never know deaar, how much I love you. Please don't take my-" The darkness whooshes past, pitch black envelops us, dim blue lights behind me, dim angelic glow, the children sleep as I whisper, heart pumping loud, voice trembling, "Sunshine away."
Faint, distant screams, demons scream in shrill tones to each other. The twilight tries to escape me, yet I keep going, slow and steady. My blue glow fades away as blood wets my tight robe. Do not stop. My fingers lose their grip for a moment. The demons' screams draw nearer, mother's lullaby plays in my head, as my heart booms. A voice invades my head, I know you're running. Let's see if you can survive your guilt.
I hum the lullaby and the beating of my heart, the chittering in the dark, it all fades from my ears. Tears glide down my face as I tremble forward. Demons jump out at me, out of nowhere, my hand goes to my heart as they fade away, my hand flies back to the trunk. A baby screams awake, but I keep going, despite my body growing weaker by the second. I finally see the twilight. The baby's cries get drowned out by my humming. I hyperventilate as the voice speaks again, They're behind you

A dim blue light reaches out, No running. "Help me!" I blink and millions of hands reach out. I incoherently scream and breathe heavily. Die. I open my eyes and they're gone. I blink and they reach out again, the poor souls scream for my help. A hammer swings down, their screams stop as I open my eyes. I blubber as I step into twilight. They're behind me. They're coming. There's no running. If I stop, They die. I-I die. Give into your fears. I blink and everything goes blank.

THE SPACE LEGACY
-= New chapter every Wednesday! =- What would you do if you found an ancient spaceship? Michael Freeman is a disabled veteran who had just been fired from his mind-numbing cubicle job, which allowed his opportunistic girlfriend to dump him. Now, he only wants to spend some time in his grandfather's mountain cabin to unwind away from the drudgery of daily life with a cold beer in his hands. Standing in his way is an ancient spaceship with an emotional AI, nanites that have invaded his body, an international crime syndicate, a suicidal FBI agent on a vigilante mission, terrorists... and this is just the beginning. What can one man do when faced with insurmountable odds? Call it quits? Or… call some of his old army buddies and blow those obstacles to smithereens. Can he become more than he had ever dreamed, reaching further than any man before? Staying under the radar of the powers that be while righting a few wrongs of the modern world. He is sure of three things: 1. He really doesn’t want to follow the rules anymore... aside from his own. 2. Space is the ultimate frontier, and he had been given a turnkey technology to reach it—if they let him. 3. Those that want to hurt him and the people he cares about will rue the day they were born. You do not always get what you wish for… sometimes, you get one hell of a lot more. --- “Really entertaining, and a promising future.” - RR Reviewer “Good old sci-fi novel” - RR Reviewer “Sci-fi with a realistic MC” - RR Reviewer “Wow, seriously... just wow” - RR Reviewer “I'm hooked!” - RR Reviewer “A well crafted story.” - RR Reviewer “A Sci-fi Novel I can appreciate” - RR Reviewer “This is f....ing good.” - RR Reviewer -------------------------------------------------- Advance chapters available on Patreon -------------------------------------------------- The original art for the cover picture was made by N.

8 68Lacraea: The Slow Journey To riches [HIATUS]
Darren was a successful businessman, founder of the biggest publishing studio AoE studios. He lived a good life that is, until he dies. He's given a choice. either he goes to the traditional heaven, where theres no internet, TV , meat, and sex OR he goes to a fantasy world like the many his company has published. Defeat a big bad boss and become filthy rich. Theres a catch though. unlike fantasy games, the people here are not NPCs to be trifled with mundane quests, the lowest level monsters that are usually cannon fodder in games are strong and fight for their lives like any living being would, The harsh economy of medieval times, the various languages and cultures of different races, and the politics and intrigue playing in the background with a war looming on the horizon. Oh and no respawns. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ No OP characters, No chosen one,and no "oh I did something that MILLIONS of other people just didn't think to do". I am also going to try my best to stick with realism. what a guy transported to medieval times would likely do with zero knowledge of cultures or combat aside from a few TV shows. If you're looking for a powerful chosen one who defeats scores of enemies without even looking, or who finds an ancient artifact to defeat a dark lord this isn't it.
