《High Tides to Low Clouds (ft. Miss Catherine)》Being on the Top
Advertisement
A certain building towers over a city. Standing with thirty-one floors up, it made the rest of the city look insignificant in comparison as no other building could reach the height of this one. For this only those with utmost importance can claim an office of their own. People will look up and wonder what it must be like to have the fortune of the people who are in the top ranks, and that has caused bitterness in many. At the top of the entire structure was an office for a very important person.
"The sunset looks nice," he said.
Surely the sun was setting nearing the closure for the day's work. The man turns his back from the window and takes a step to his desk. A computer setup with two brightly lit monitors. Sheets of written paper, heavy-duty pens made of metal and a couple books all neatly organized. There was not an item misplaced in sight.
"I wonder if I should treat myself tonight."
He looks at the first monitor. Documents for the next procedures for the project are open. Plans to expand and the likes. Nothing simple.
"A drink at a bar doesn't sound bad."
The second monitor shows calculations on costs for materials, hires and everything else. All arranged in a way that can be easily accessed and nothing cut off or showing half its information. The man is not paying any attention to it right now, for this is the time he has decided to get off.
"Perhaps a cafe would be better. I do have work tomorrow."
The man had worked eleven hours today with a half hour lunch break. He had focused on his current career for the past twenty-three years. Stuck in a chore of a job for nine.

"I wonder if something nice will happen."
His empire took ten to be built. Eating twice in a day. First meal is always a sausage and egg muffin sandwich with a cup of coffee on the side.
"I haven't been seeing anybody in a while."
Zero friends since finishing high school. Divorced twice. Zero kids in custody.
"Shouldn't get my hopes up. Did that too many times."
House is worth three million. Five billion in income. Chocolate bar with peanuts and caramel he gets on Friday after work being a dollar.
"I do have a business trip in three days."
He sighs a single heavy sigh.
"It's never a vacation."

Shades of the Moon
I'm rewriting this story! I have taken down Arc 2 and Arc 3 already to avoid spoiling my new novel. The only reason I'm keeping the first 10 chapters is nostalgia; the writing is awkward and the story is not plotted out properly, but it's here if anyone wants to compare it to the new one. If you'd like to read a more professionally written version of this story, I highly suggest checking out my Synergy. Synopsis version too-many-to-count: “I see,” Kiona said. “But . . . you’re changing once again, aren’t you?” The entity considered her question, lifting a clawed hand towards the night sky. They observed the back of their hand idly, watching the glowing orange veins pulse alongside their pitch-black exoskeleton. The wind picked up right then, and Kiona shivered—just as much from the cold as from the savage grin on the creature's face. “That’s right,” the entity said, clenching their hand slowly into a fist. They let out a quiet laugh, staring defiantly at the Moon as it rose from behind the clouds. “We are shades, yet not exactly. Not like the others. Here, in this world, we've become something more. We are the Shades of the Moon.” There was a heartbeat of silence, during which Kiona joined the entity in their skygazing. The light-green Moon loomed over the city, shining like the entity's eyes. It promised otherworldly knowledge and terrible secrets. It promised progress. It promised change. In that moment, Kiona couldn't have imagined anything more beautiful. “Shades of the Moon, huh?” she said, smiling a bit. It had a nice ring to it.

8 419Rogue Queen ➵ 2.0
❝Never mess with the Royals. You'll feel the flames of hell before you even get there.❞Back then, I wasn't anyone special. I wasn't some hero who saved anyone. I thought I was smart. I knew I was quiet and observing since I didn't like attention, unlike Raiden, my protective twin brother. He would never let anyone hurt me... but he could only protect me from threats he's aware of.As a result of what I was secretly suffering, I sealed off my emotions the best I could. I closed down my heart. Their words couldn't hurt me if I couldn't feel them. If only that worked for their hits. For five years, I'd been slowly falling into depression and no one noticed.Then of course, I turned out to be Asher's mate and he rejected me and if that wasn't enough, he banished me from my home in Moonblood pack. I left and became a rogue with the vow of keeping anyone else from suffering the way I did. I was done crying, past letting others push me around. And I was going to make sure no one went through anything like I did.Now, almost two years later, I'm returning to Moonblood pack, even though it could mean death since I was banished.But I'm not alone.Things have changed. Before, I could barely kill a spider. Now, I kill anyone who has it coming, like those abusive assholes. Before, my biggest worry was whether I could make it through the day without getting hurt. Now all I have to worry about is getting the blood out of my clothes and keeping Thatcher far away from me.Before, I was shy and timid.Now, I'm the Rogue Queen.➵Started: August 22nd, 2018Completed: November 13th, 2019Rewritten in November-December 2020
