《Zombie Book》Power
Advertisement
I would be really happy if I could get my hands on some books on agriculture. A book about hunting, or cooking. Something practical, nothing as distant as the operation of a bottle filling machine. [Why are we sitting in the dark, Drop?] Adam [This is quite simple: because the power plants that supply this building are not operating.] Drop Database [And why aren't we using the solar collectors on the roof?] Adam [If we had any, wouldn't the lights be on?] Drop Database [Not necessarily. A fuse may be blowed or they could be damaged.] Adam [What makes you so sure we have any?] Drop Database [I saw it in the financial statements. May 3, 2033 Repair of solar panels.] Adam This facility has solar and I didn't even noticed? Now is the time to put his knowledge to the test. Although I didn't get him a proper book on electrical engineering. But I'm sure he'd figure something out. [Then I assign you to restore the power.] Drop Database The boy ran upstairs to start his investigation, which gave me time to think. 2033! What? That means I travelled 15 years into the future. How long has the apocalypse already lasted? When did it start? I thought nothing could ever knock me down. But the loss of time, and thus loss of knowledge shattered me. I do not know which countries exist nor which wars have been fought. I do not know what technology exists and what enemies I can expect. It's ironic that I thought this was a state-of-the-art factory.
In this moment of desperation, Eve approached me. She placed her hand on my shoulder [Is everything all right, DB?] Eve [Yeah, yeah everything's great, I just sort of lost the track of time.] Drop Database [It is the year 2041. The apocalypse started five years ago. I know you're confused, but there isn't anything we couldn't accomplish together.] Eve [You always talk about us, but I don't even know you.] Drop Database [Look, I call myself Eve because I'm the second Adam is the first.] Eve [That doesn't make any sense! Adam is clearly younger.] Drop Database [Yes, but only in his physical body.] Eve [Tell me who you are! What is this whole upload-download thing about!] Drop Database [I don't think you're ready. I'd be happy to tell you. But I don't want to hurt you. I just want what's best for you.] Eve Now she just sounds like a mother. Maybe I'm really not ready. Maybe I should calm down.

Somebody Stop Her
In a world of villains and heroes, the Kilborne family moved to the small town of Saint Mary. Their new neighbors, living in the 1888 Saint Mary cathedral, turned out to be a family of supervillains. Martin Kilborne would find school perfectly mundane if it wasn't for Alexa Terranova who is: constantly bothering him with a pocket raygun, demanding he become her minion and threatening to blow up the principal's office in a series of unnecessarily complicated, wacky plots. The more Martin learns about Alexa, the more dangerous and insane his life becomes as he is dragged into terrible, misfortunate, no good adventures of doom. A wholesome, slice of life, superhero / supervillain sci-fi comedy, sprinkled with elements of horror.Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge - 55'555 words in 35 days!Dedicated to my daugher who has an unbendable stubborn spirit and my friends at the Silver Pen server who motivated me to write new things!

Moonblood
Five moons rise over Evanir, each in her own cycle, and each moon is also a god, one of five sisters. Many gods create spirit attendants and companions, brought forth fully-formed. Long ago, the moons worked together to create a lineage that are, instead, humans transformed by the mingling of blood. They intended them to be long-lived and to draw their strength directly from the light of the moon who chose each individual. The five sisters had different goals in mind – one wanted it to be a blessing for scholars and artists, to give them more time and fewer physical distractions; another wanted them to have an animal form, different for each, to keep them more in tune with nature so they could serve as guardians of the wilderness. There are drawbacks to their children having human lives and personalities before being chosen: not all share the goals of their divine mothers, and some choose to put their gifts to darker uses. Those carrying the blood of one woman, fleeing the corruption in search of a quiet life, take a different path. -=-=-=-=- Moonblood isn't so much a novel as a series of adventures of varying length. They involve a core group of people, which does grow over time. They take place in a fairly low-magic world, but despite that, our core cast are directly connected to the moons and have various abilities, including limited shapeshifting to a single individual animal form. As with all my work, unless gender, orientation, or other aspects of sexuality are explicitly stated, I suggest not making assumptions. Probably most significant, I think, is a major trans character who appears about 80K words in - no spoilers, just a note for those who care about that one way or the other.
