《The Journey To New Jersey (Discontinued)》The General
Advertisement
At Barbra's house:
There was a knock at the door.
Barbra answered it with hesitation.
It's probably Toby. She thought.
She was wrong.
"Hello." A woman said as she finished opening he door. She was wearing an army suit with lots of badges. There where four trucks in her front yard. And many people in orange suits.
Her heart skipped hundreds of beats.
"Hello?" Barbra asked, "did I do something wrong?"
"Ma'am, I am general Kubritz, and we believe that you had an impact with that giant fiery tornado. Hmm?"
"I don't know what your taking about." Barbra's mouth went dry.
"You don't? Interesting. May I come inside?"
Barbra hesitantly nodded. She would be an idiot to say no.
"Thank you." She replied sitting down on her couch.
"I can make you coffee or some lemonade if you prefer." Barbra answered.
"That won't be necessary." She said coldly. "Here sit Mrs. Lake. We have much to talk about."
I'm sure we do. Barbra thought sitting as far away from the general as she could.
"Now..." she pulled out a file that she had in a brief case. How did she not realize she had that?
"Is this your son?" She pulled out a picture of him. Her heart skipped another beat when she saw him in his human form.
"It is." She answered.
"You are aware that your son went mysteriously missing the day after the tornado?"
"I-" what is she going to say?! "He isn't missing!" She blurted out.
"Really? Then would you care to give us an insight on where he is at? Or better yet going?"
Barbra couldn't breathe at the last part the general spoke.
"He is on a trip with some friends." She lied.

"Is that so? Let me continue, if I may. Claire Nuñes also went missing on the same day. Is that not true?"
"But-"
"Your son also missed 65 days of school. As did Claire, and Toby Domsalski. They each missed 65 days. Care to explain what they where doing in those moments of time?"
Barbra was in shock.
"I told you I don't know what-"
"I'm talking about? Yes I know. But Mrs. Lake, I think you do." She pulled out a second file and slapped it down on the coffee table. "Jim Lake, absent from school January 5th. Claire Nuñes, the 5th. Tobias Domsalski," the general looked up. "The fifth day of January."
Barbra was blown away.
"Barbra I believe your children had something to do with the fire tornado. Look, I work with the supernatural. And you can't hide the fact that your son and his friends are apart of this too." The general then pulled out a paper. She set it down and then... flipped it over. It was a picture of her son. But not human. How did she-
"Is this your son now?" She asked.
Barbra didn't answer.
"I am assuming yes."
"No I didn't say that-"
"Oh, but you don't need to. I know they are traveling to seek a new home right? And I know for a fact that your son is this creature. And I also know that these animals have terrorized Arcadia, and it is my job to take them into custody and find a way to prevent them from ever hurting the world again. All I need to know is where they are going."
"Okay, ma'am with all due respect, you can't just come into my house and demand answers. I told you before, I don't know what your talking about. That thing is not my son. If you want to know where they are going you're asking the wrong person." Barbra tried her best to act angry and not scared that her son could be captured by her and her men.

"Your right. I am sorry for the inconvenience. I will leave you. Thank you, you have been most helpful." Kubritz said. Then without another word she walked out of the house.
Kubritz, once she was out turned to her men;
"Gentlemen, where going to New Jersey."

Beast
A threat to the galaxy has come from another, and the Union of intelligent life will go to any length to stop it. Military Quarantine has held for hundreds of thousands of cycles. Traders, merchants, colonists, and Pirates live risky lives along the fringes as the politics from the inner systems fail to see the larger threats beyond their borders. A lone human finds himself far from home with no memories to how he arrived. A failing Trade vessel plays on a desperate gamble, while a malicious parasite searches for a suitable host. ............................................. Author's note: Beast is a story that I wrote a long, long time ago. Some of you might have read it then, back when it was posted on reddit over at r/HFY. It was my first webfiction and made in the spirit of that subreddit's "genre" of humanity being awesome. But, it is also a story that has bothered me a little bit. Just like most new writers tend to do, I made mistakes and errors that feel painful to reread. A Space Opera will be a Space Opera, but I had prose that makes present-me cringe. Still, at the same time, the story is still very much a tale I've never given up on. It was my first adventure into fiction: Beast was a crazy adventure with bodysnatching aliens, galactic war, threats from across the universe... Posting this story here is a way to try and redeem myself a bit. I won't call it a complete rewrite, because it's not, but I have wanted to go through and correct some of the major issues Beast has for a long time and put it somewhere more accessible to read (instead of as posts/comments on reddit) and I figure that now is as good a time as any. Additional corrections you might notice are welcome.

(First Draft Old Version) Ruins Of Isulia ~ Book 1 : Awakening of the Emarine
My updated version has been released but this version is still getting views so I will leave it up for now. This is the old (First draft) version. Go check out my latest version. **************** Creatures once believed to be legend have invaded the kingdom of Vulkira. King Erik must overcome this crushing responsibility or let it consume his people. A haunting past eats away at the Queen of Xer. Cara is hellbent on protecting the ones she loves and the future of her kingdom. Balancing the greater good, she fights to keep her head above the waves of guilt. In a remote town, Henry, an energetic bookworm is thrust into the world as chaos engulfs his once seemingly peaceful world. His lord has a task for him, one in which will change his life forever. Wars brew, betrayal is at each corner, shadows step into the light, a supernatural force awaits the time to strike. Awakening an ancient civilization from their past may be their only hope now. A spiraling doom awaits the world of Isulia. **************** I put the gore and traumatizing warnings not because my book is overly gory. However, there are a few moments that may be traumatizing to some people. As for the gore, it shows up fairly often but not extensively. I've always loved violence in movies and books, (The Boys, Banshee, Kingdom of heaven, Vikings, etc.) I am descriptive of the scenes with gore. So be warned :) I have multiple MC and as a nooby writer, I've had a harder time writing from a female POV. Just a heads up. Don't kill me if I make the woman in my book seem weird.

After the Long Burn
After the longest exodus in human history, a terrible accident threatens to turn the salvation of humanity into its most desperate struggle for survival. From the ashes of calamity rises a new human story. A frustrated scientist dedicates her life to recreating the Earth in alien soil, while another is gunned down for his sin and sets off a chain of events culminating in a desperate escape across the void for an opportunity at redemption. Around a distant moon a deep space miner stumbles onto a secret, the key to which lies buried inside his own tortured mind. After the Long Burn is an anthology of short science fiction stories set in the distant Ionad System. Author's Note: I thought I might try something a little different with this story. Rather than one story, it is six stories of varying length, each taking a slightly different perspective to tell a larger story. Some are more actioney, others more cerebral but I hope there will be something for everyone. Stories over 7000 words, with the exception of the titular After the Long Burn, will be published in two parts. I anticipate an upload schedule of one part every other day.

Children of The Sky: Heartcore
In the realm of Yggdrasil, there exist nine worlds. Each and every world has unique stories to tell, but there was one that stood out--The Floating World of Speir. In the land of Speir, the impossible does not exist; this world has given birth to thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of tales, fables, and legends. The fight for the fate of the world is a common occurrence and the neverending stories of the people which reside in it were all, by itself, always unique and interesting. Now, after many aeons have passed, the world has changed. Not only the power of magic could shape reality, technology also has the ability to change the world with just a thought. And from the world where futuristic technology meets magic, I have chosen to tell you a story, a story picked from countless others. This is the story of a boy who recently entered the prestigious, and the most powerful academy in all of the nine worlds--Yggdrasil Academy, to fufill his dream. What is his dream, you might ask. Well, allow me to show you the life of Reynard Foxtale, one of The Children of The Sky. *Warning. For those who don't like lengthy explanations or long talks, this might not suit your taste. However, the setting of my story does not adhere to most of the main stream fantasy/sci-fi settings. So, you might find my ideas unique or a little too weird and complicated or both. Whatever opinions you might have, I truly thank all of you who are willing to spend your time to read my story. *The cover (which is a picture I do not own) is not in any way an accurate depiction of the world in the story. P/S I will post this story on FictionPress as well. P/P/S I'm relatively new to this website, so if I made any obvious (to regulars) mistakes, please tell me. P/P/P/S Will update every two weeks. *Important: In Hiatus for now. **13/7/2017 Update. Check chapter nine (and maybe ten) post-chapter note.
