River sits in the train. In the Airport the police officer, Lucy, approaches Martha.
Los Angeles Airport
"I checked now where he is," officer Lucy says.
"And did you find him?" Martha asks.
"Yes, one of the policemen arrested him."
"why?" Martha asks anxiously.
"He found on him drugs."
"what?!" Martha finds it difficult to believe. "My son would never use those things."
"It doesn't have to be that he uses. He might just be selling them."
"It can't be, there must be some mistake," says Martha.
"Look, I don't know," says the officer. "You should check it out at the Department of the police."
"where is it?"
"On the second floor when you exit the elevator turn right. Keep going straight and you will get to the police department," says Lucy. "Your son is in room number eight."
"Well, thanks for your help," says Martha and walks toward the elevator.

David is accompanied by two agents from the Secret Service. He stops by a door and knocks on her. Mike opens the door and says, "Come in."
David enters the room and the secret agents stay at the door. Mike closes the door.
"We need to change my speech a bit," says David.
"In what way?" Asks Mike.
"Regarding the plan to strengthen the national security," says David. "We should more elaborate on that subject."

"Is that what Wayne told you?"
"Yes, and I also think so."
"But we've discussed it already," says Mike. "In your speech, you will talk for a long time about the issues of foreign policy and the situation in the world and about security in America. It's true that the situation in America today is bad and it's important to talk about security, but almost three-quarters of your speech is about the security issue and what is happening in the world because of President Wilson's failed policy. Which leaves you with only a little more than a quarter of the speech to talk about social and economic issues.
"True, but the state has reached a situation where its citizens are far more concerned with the security issue than the economic issue," says David. "That's why it's important to expand on our program."
"That's right," says Mike. "If you want to change the speech and you think it's the right thing to do, then that's fine with me."
"Good," says David.
Mike sits down at the table and opens his laptop.
In the hotel's locker rooms
The guy is wearing a blue bathing suit and finishes showering. The guy closes the water, takes his shampoo and gets out of the shower. He walks over to his bag. He puts down the shampoo next to his bag. The guy opens the bag and takes out his clothes and a white towel. Inside the bag you can see a small knife sticking out. The guy puts the shampoo in the bag so he hides the knife. He closes the bag and goes to change clothing.

Martha opens the door and goes into the police department. She continues straight until she reaches the number 8 door on her left. She opens the door and enters the room. She closes the door and sees a man dressed in police uniform. The man is sitting on a chair at the table.
"I'm Tom's mom and there was probably a mistake, my son never touched drugs," Martha says. "Where is my son?"
"You'll meet him soon," says the man in the police uniform.
Suddenly, behind her comes the janitor and puts a canvas on her mouth. On the canvas there is an anesthetic. Martha struggles. She can't get out of the janitor grip and after a few seconds she faints. Next to the janitor there is a huge cleaning trolley. The janitor opens the lid of the cart. The cart is empty. The man with the policeman's uniform gets up from the chair. He and the janitor lift Marta off the floor and place her in the cleaning trolley.
The janitor closes the lid of the cart and asks, "What about the policeman we killed?"
"He's too tall, you can't put him in the cart," says the man with the police uniform. "We'll have to leave him in the closet here in the room."
The man with the policeman's uniform walks out of the room and walks toward the department exit. After him the janitor leaves the room, dragging the cleaning trolley.

Lost souls: Road to Godhood (Isekai) [Writathon Participant]
In a world where mages stand above nobles and even the law, it's not surprising that everyone wants to learn magic. Luz and his brothers are no different. However, their peaceful lives are shattered when a dragon attacks their village. Left with no choice, Luz uses a forbidden spatial spell to save his brothers. The consequences are not pretty--he and his brothers are scattered across different realms. Luz will have to travel to places unknown to reunite his family and gain enough power to take vengeance on the dragon. Armed with a single spell that he can only cast once before his magic reserves are depleted, Luz has his work cut out for him. Being the oldest is never easy. Author note: Please be warned as the book won't be what you might expect since the early chapters of my work are more of a slice of life of an MC, trying to adjust to his new life rather than slaying monsters left and right from the get-go with accelerated growth cheat and missions given by a goddamn system that forges your path, since everyone knows: an MC needs a system that tells one how to move forward. That was a long sentence. Also, some of you might consider my chapter titles as clickbaity, while others like me might consider them: not boring titles, hehehe.

The Orb Weaver Chronicles
"The Orb Weaver Chronicles contains several major and unique events that may or may not unknowingly intertwines with one another. The author of these chronicles is unknown, although some have hinted at the symbolism behind its name..." - Year unknown, location unknown 9 February 2022 Update: Welcome to the companion short story compilation of my novel trilogy The Shadow Paradigm. This compilation features prequels, sidequels and sequels to the novel's major plotline, as well as featuring a wide range of characters, new and recurring. Prior knowledge of the novel is not necessary as the Orb Weaver Chronicles' short stories are standalone. Once called The Arkesyyan Chronicles, I've deleted quite a few of its old stories. Due to the new avenue and revision, oriented toward more mystery and film-noir ambience, that I took my stories into, I've removed all aliens and overly sci-fi aspects of the whole TSP lineup, so I've updated the Orb Weaver Chronicles accordingly. I hope you enjoy them, and in time, a revised version will also be updated.

"Reality is different than a story or a game." That's what my best friend used to say to the otaku me all the times and I myself knew full well that it's true. Well, that was until now...
