How does one put a value to a person with all of these weighing down on their shoulders? No matter how you look at it, there is always an ‘imperfection,’ something that just isn’t right.
But then again, how do you decide what is ‘right?’
Everyone has their own set of morals and ideas, so how is it possible to pinpoint one, absolute ‘perfection?’
Simple, you can’t.
If only it was easy to make everyone understand. Unfortunately, even a world of wonders doesn’t work like that. If not for those that set precedents that others try their damndest to match, then we have ourselves to blame.
When we look at ourselves, do our ‘faults’ not stand out in contrast to every little bit that makes us the person we are? The things we wished were different, the aspects we want to morph, the traits and habits that we resent ourselves for having, those qualities that we deem undesirable… How differently they’re weighed by the individual.
When you look at these ‘faults,’ do you see the road leading up to them or those they guided you towards? How differently would your life be if this one thing ceased to be a part of you? If this one, small bit simply vanished, would you even be the same person?
Then again, there are those that would gladly be someone else for personal reasons. How curious a case, to become someone completely different…
Nevertheless, how would you face these self-titled ‘faults?”
Would you lock them away and deny their existence because it’s simply easier?
Would you let them overwhelm you, letting yourself become someone you never wanted to be?
Would you fight against them and struggle for something pointless just because you can’t find a better solution?

Would you let them grow, becoming so afraid of them that you let them speak for you?
Everyone deals with these problems in their own ways, but this isn’t a tale about just anybody. This is a story about four, unprepared youths that find themselves tied to one another. A tale of happy endings or broken hearts, that is yet to be decided. Whatever the outcome, the choices rely on these four. How they manage the difficulties that lie before them and those they carry… well… what would be the point in letting you know now when there is so much to tell.
So let us begin this tale…

Tombstone Trials - Post Mortem Edition
Faced against death, a Mortician Apprentice feels alive once again. A deadly competition originating from a Ugandan myth selects combatants. Each representing a god of death and armed with special "Relics". The prize? Being given the chance to have any wish related to death granted. The newest and unlikely competitor is a Mortician Apprentice who is pulled away from a monotonous lifestyle and paired with a reluctant and not-so-reliable sharpshooter, and a loopy driver who seems to only be in interested in the well-being of his van. With a slew of trained killers with mystical weapons out to end their lives, a new will reignites inside the Mortician and a suppressed side of her surfaces, but possibly at the cost of her sanity. [October 2021 Royal Road Writathon Challenge Winner] First chapters have been revised. *UPDATE SCHEDULE NOW EVERY SATURDAY* Big thanks to TheDungeonMother for the cover art!
8 124Obsolete Future
synopsis: In 13507, almost half of humanity lives among the stars as part of a project known as Terra Firma. For millennia, they were steadily supplied with new technology and crew members. Then, suddenly, 700 years ago, after many years of increasingly sparse and less detailed communication, Earth went silent, leaving its descendants in the dark, scrambling to maintain some semblance of civilization in the void of space. This period became known as the Great Silence. But when a strange ship crash-lands on a Terra Firma world, engineers Christine Hayes and Steve Robbins find themselves face to face with Earth’s second attempt to build a galactic empire. They'll have to make their way through a galaxy full of hostile aliens from dying worlds and the sadistic experiments of a mad scientist, fighting alongside extensively modified soldiers harboring dark and disturbing secrets about the new rulers of humanity, and those who carry out their increasingly unsettling orders. style: Abandoned love child of Tokyo Ghoul and Warhammer 40K reluctantly raised by Ghost in the Shell and Blade Runner. frequency: Updates every Friday.
8 104Kissing School
"Alright. I got this far. What next Mr. Teacher?" He laughs at me. Actually laughs at me! If he thinks that just because his laugh is one of the sexiest sounds ever that he can get away with laughing at me, he is so wrong. My anger is lost the second his fingers start caressing their way up my leg, landing on my hip which is where they stay. "First lesson: the art of teasing." I can do this one. It'll be just like the other night in his living room. Give him just enough to leave him wanting more. However, even though I know a lot about teasing, I think I'm about to learn a whole hell of a lot more. Looking directly into Cameron's eyes, I see how they are twinkling with the excitement of this lesson. I have a feeling I am in way over my head.--Cameron is Amanda's best friend's brother. After a night of restlessness, Cameron agrees to teach Amanda how to kiss her way to a boyfriend, but there is only one tiny problem. She doesn't want just any boyfriend. She wants the guy she has been in love with for years, and he just agreed to take her to Kissing School.
