Ally's Pov:
"...Will you be my girlfriend?" sam asked
"Well duh" I ran up to him and hugged him
We went back to where the O2L guys were and sat down. The rest of the day was all of us hanging out and stuff. Sam showed me how to edit and use all of this YouTube stuff he bought me and he said I have to make videos every Wednesday. I nodded.
At about 9 I said I had to leave because I had to go to school tomorrow. Ugh school.
I picked all of my bags from shopping and Sam kissed my forehead and whispered in my ear
"I'll pick you up from school tomorrow"
I nodded again and walked home. Once I got home I saw my razor on my desk. I picked it up and put it in my drawer. I also saw a letter that my mom sent me. I picked it up and read it.
To: Ally
Hello Ally. How are you sweetie? I just wanted to check on you and fill you in on what's happening. Well in a couple months I might die. I have Breast cancer and I'm not doing so well. My boyfriend here is helping me a lot so if you don't want to see me I understand. I am such a horrible mother and I don't blame you for being mad at me. I just want to see your face one last time before I leave and be with your father. And if you don't just at least send me a letter so I know your fine.
Love you, Mom
I look up and there are tears in my eyes. I have to go see her. I look at the note and see the address, New York?
Why is she there? Well anyway I get a pen and paper and start writing back to her.

To-mom
Mom I'm coming to see you one last time. I want to tell you in person what's been happening so please hang on.
From-Ally
I put the note in the envelope and take it to the mail place. I walk back up to my apartment and lay down on my bed. I hate being alone because it gives me time to think, and when I think all the bad memories flood back into my mind.
I walk over to my drawer and cut only two cuts. But they were really deep. Once I got down whipping all the blood off I go to sleep. Crying like before I met Sam.

NOVA INTERIT.US
It's 2063, and the town along with much of the nation are in disarray. The decay started years before the Great Event. Our town still had hope thanks to the five families, who'd created a blockchain based water distribution system for the locals, a valuable secret hidden from the Global Water Commission and their network of mercenaries. Earlier in the mid-2040's, right after the state secessions of Idaho, Montana, and Texas, the Global Council of Water Commissioners made their deals and moved into towns throughout the country. They called it "the integration." The Commission and their contractors integrated with municipal water departments, using their organized network to invade like parasites on local services. It all coincided with the 29th Amendment to the United States Constitution, later referred to as the Regional Trident Plan. Nova is a story about survival, power structures, the turning of relationships, and the networking between people and the systems to which they belong. It’s about A.I. blockchain possibility, and its potential for human betterment versus our detriment. It’s about the question of whether or not we need to be saved from ourselves, and by who or what? The Great Event at the end of the first chapter might just be what actually saves us. The epilogue will take place in 2517. This scene is fully sketched and the full arc of the novel is set. I expect to finish Nova Interitus by summer of 2023. This is realist hard-sci-fi dystopian fiction. I hope you find Nova to be a challenging and consuming story. This is not something I planned to write. It all came to me in a dream and I haven't been able to stop writing it. This Royal Road posting is basically a beta test with chapters and drafts to get some feedback and see if there's any readership for this narrative. For the full experience read Nova on Substack. I will be narrating a podcast version later this year there. https://novainteritus.substack.com/

Different World with Save and Load: A Horror Story
Being strong and being weak is a form of perspective. Are you really as weak as you think you are? Do you really have the power to level mountains and rend the seas? If people tell you are god then you are god, if people tell you are nothing then you are nothing. But who actually sees the whole picture? A not-so-good man (evil) managed to get transported to a not-so-real world (game-like) by a not-so-caring god (lazy). The world uses the all-so-famous “stats”, but he has no access to the so-called “system”. At least he managed to get a cheat from the lazy god, even if it took all his potential. What will a greedy villain with the ability to reset his progress do in a world that is more fake then real with a godlike hero, and a non-caring god?

Devils Demons and Dead Men
By the time most people have heard of the newest multiplayer fantasy role-playing game Kings and Conquests, developer Fairly Unusual Games has been overwhelmed by a $200 million crowdfunding haul. Founders Accounts are going to six-figure contributors. There is talk of an augmented reality mobile accessory app and 3D printable treasures that can be sold for real money. The hype is beyond belief. Gaming fans go berzerk. With contributors and the media eagerly anticipating a release date announcement, Fairly Unusual's stock suddenly and inexplicably plunges. CEO Garrett Wyland, once a darling of both Silicon Valley and Wall Street, is indicted by a federal Grand Jury for insider trading the day before his company files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Less than 48 hours later, Wyland is shot and killed by officers of the Mississippi Highway Patrol attempting to execute a fugitive warrant. A briefcase full of cash, a fake ID and an airline ticket are found in his car. Weeks pass. With accusations flying, lawsuits being filed nationwide and revelation after revelation rocking the online and offline media, a fourth-rate host of a little-known game streaming channel receives an e-mailed gift marked 'Kings and Conquests News' from one of his subscribers. Thinking it's some kind of prank, Jordan Hall opens it and discovers a Founder's account login to a fully functional Kings and Conquests server, a 100-year pre-paid subscription and map coordinates marking a dangerously isolated in-game location labeled 'Safekeep.' The e-mail is from Garrett Wyland.
