《How Will This Work?》Chapter 5
Advertisement
It's been two years since that day at the graveyard, I miss Percy every day.
At 0500 hours we were all wakened to cursing and yelling. 'What the hell is going on?!?!?' I think to myself. I quickly throw on my uniform and rush outside, there is a crowd gather around the flag pole. On top of the flag pole was a figure....
A dog hybrid.....
He has golden brown ears and tails.....
A last year trainee....
Named Brian....
hanging by his underwear...
And he was a major wedgie...
There was another figure at the bottom of the pole was another figure....
A figure clothed in all black...
With no ears or tail showing....
Leaning against the flag pole....
Sea green eyes shining....
Brian still was cussing up a storm....
"....P-Percy..." I stutter in disbelief. He turned towards me and nodded his head. He turned to the general as he approached,"This one," he gestured to the hanging dog, "needs to go to lock up."
"While hello to you to Sea Dagger," the General sneered, "How did you like being all alone, no one to comfort you needs, b**ch. Always being hun-"
Percy cut him off,"I liked it a lot thank you. Freedom, no unnecessary a**es to haul along. Tricking you teams into corners. Now aren't you going to throw him into lock up for, rape and assault. Or did you want a reminder of what happened last time you disrespected me..." he twirled one of his knives in his hands, as he trailed off.
The General gulped and backed up a few steps form the glare Percy gave him. Then he gathered his wits and responded with, "Well how we supposed to get him down! Hmmm" Percy didn't even look at him just throw his dagger straight up, it cut Brian's under wear and he can crashing down. The knife started to come down and Percy put out a hand and caught the knife blade first right before it impaled Brian.

He started walking away right as he got to the edge of the crowd he said over his shoulder, "I'm back, have fun!"

That encounters, that thought process, lead Grey to experience a peculiar phenomenon, which is the gateway to the bizarre nation of Chronosseum. The land claimed to be located between reality and imagination, beyond thoughts and perceptions, and through space and time. People compete there, which might be the life-death situation, make their way to be the best player in the nation. However, the consequences of the game will be given in the 'mortal' world. Join Grey make his glorious way in Chronosseum, and uncover its truth! Also, he needs to answer that question too! Note: The story heavily relies on the characters' thought processes, characters' interactions with its dramas, mystery, and back-stories aspects, so expect the slice of life thingy. As for now, I can't say this is an action-packed story, but slowly, it will be for sure. Also, I'm planning not too heavily focused on the MC, as you'll see the story told from various perspectives. Tags and content warnings are checked for the sake of my creativity in the future, it might or might not be included. This is my first novel, and also, English is not my native language, I beg your mercy. But I am open to any feedback and constructive criticism, so let's make the story more enjoyable to read! Chronosseum is scheduled to release one chapter every three days (for now).

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
