《An old mans tale!》The Price of Living!

"Hay now don't you run away from that. That is just a few scrapes on your arms. It may seem like it would discourage you but ask youself this, would it be better to never try and always be safe until you are not, or to try and see what may favor you at the cost of a scuffle."
"I have plenty of scratches like that collected over years of a life well lived. If you wish to keep going you will have to get back up, now I know it is hard but if you do not you will never advance in life."
"There will come a day when you no longer have the strength to stand once more and you will have to rely on others to lift your body. To see you and just be kind for the sake of kindness."
"It is why you should remain humble in your endevors but always seek to better yourself and dont you worry, you will go on to do great things if you keep trying!"
"This is how I helped a child to stand up when she had no one. Her parents had kicked her out with barely even the clothes on her back."
It was 1990 something and the decade was just getting into full swing. The people were just starting to really define how the decade would be looked back on for the future generations. Those that cared did so but even still there were those that didn't care for their own family.
I was walking back from downtown when I came across a girl half naked and crying in an ally way. I stoped to ask her what was wrong and she told me she had been kicked out of her home, poor thing couldn't have been older then 16 and there she sat in the garbage with the only things she had to her name.

I told her to wait there after giving her my shirt to cover up with. Walking down to the store and buying her some clothes to wear I decided to then take her to the store to let her find what ever she wanted.
That young woman tried to pay me back for my kindness countless times after that and to this day she still tries but I have told her time and time again that the only way I would accept it is if she could not find someone who needed it more. She has to this day not paid me back what I spent on her that day but she has helped countless people sense then.
She just needed a chance to do good and someone to show her the way forward while she was stuck in the dark.

The man with the gun points it at the other man. "Cayden, as one of your friends. Please make this easy for me and turn yourself in." The large man's eyes waver for a second before they quickly recompose themselves. "Come on then.

Gloryland
**for Quravin** It's the summer of 2010, and Evan Barker's older brother Jason has just committed suicide. His devastated parents are reeling from the Recession, his friends are shiftless drunks, and his younger sister has been committed after discovering Jason's body. In an attempt to assuage the trauma his family has experienced and break away from his own shitty existence, Evan decides to grab his portion of the modern American Dream by trying out for that year's American Idol auditions in Nashville. Never mind that Evan's a 21-year-old virgin with a self-image as poor as his social skills. Never mind that he's never even attempted to sing before. In 21st century America, anything is possible, or so Evan's been told by a cultural upbringing of "Follow your dreams" and "Everyone is special" and "True love awaits". Speaking of true love, Evan asks Lily Trent to accompany him on the journey. Lily is a childhood acquaintance with whom he's recently reconnected and developed a crush on. Lately Lily's been working as a stripper, a cynical and jaded young woman who may or may not have her own motivations for joining Evan on the trip. Evan hopes the time alone will spark reciprocal affections in Lily, and an improbable come-from-nowhere triumph on national TV will not only free his family from their blue collar burdens, but win him the respect and love he craves-- not just from others, but from himself. Together, Evan and Lily discover why learning how to fail may be their generation's greatest lesson. Cover art by Gerry Siorek

A God's Champion
James was an Operator who had the misfortune to die in battle. Instead of his soul moving on to his just reward, it is intercepted, and James finds himself on a new mission. Asked to be the Champion for Ignatius, God of Embers, he finds himself in a different world, fighting impossible creatures and trying to survive. Their lives now depend on his completing the Challenge and ranking in the top 500. But the odds are stacked against him, and he was a better operator than a swordsman. Chapters released Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 12:30 Warning: After Chapter 11, the MC undergoes a significant change of class and race. This is due to a couple of factors. The first is that when the MC was created, James didn't know what he was doing, so he picked what he thought would work. The second reason is that he had access to more information to game the system a little. The premise is like when you buy a new video game and decide to play it without RTFM. After creating a great character and making it to the end of the first act, you realize that, although your character may be kewl, it is gimped and will not survive until the end of the game. Going back to the start, you create a new character with the knowledge you gained from playing the game and perhaps, peeking at the manual.
