"Not saying!"
Morgan bounded ahead. I had no idea who her mystery guy was, but I worried it might be someone married if she wouldn't tell me. Knowing Morgan, though, I'd find out one way or another before too long. She never kept a secret.
She was already through the concert gates, waving at me to follow her in.
Suddenly I flashed on the body in the locker room, again. I'd actually managed to forget about it for a little while, but now the image of its mouth hanging open came back to me. I'd kept glimpsing its teeth while I'd helped Ian carry it.
For some reason this made me nervous about sneaking into the concert. We weren't kids any more, and I'd be mortified if I got caught now, as an adult, especially tonight. I even knew the woman collecting tickets and checking stamps. Her husband was one of the truckers at the company I worked for.
Morgan gave me a shrug from the other side of the gate. Then she impatiently waved me in again.
"Hurry up!" she yelled.
I stepped forward, trying to keep as far from the counter as possible, holding up my wrist with its faint green T. I'd never been as good as Morgan was at playing things cool.
Of course the woman collecting tickets recognized me.
"Ashley! Hi! I thought you weren't going to the concert?"
"Hey Helen," I smiled, scared. She already suspected me, I could tell. "Well, my friend bought me a ticket," I said awkwardly. "We came in earlier? I just went out for a sec to say hi to my niece."
I had no idea where these lies were coming from, or how believable they were.
"Well let's see that stamp of yours."

My heart was pounding. This was so stupid. Someone had just died and I was about to get caught sneaking into a concert by some musician I'd never even heard of and whose bus had even blocked my car in.
"I'm gonna be late!" I joked nervously.
Helen took my hand and examined the stamp. This was it. I glanced around. What would she do? Were there security guards she would call? I saw one guy, arms folded, standing at the entrance to the grandstands. I was pretty sure he was already looking over at me.

The Hopeful Project
A pair of twins stumble their way into the world of blood magic, lizard people, and cultivation powered mecha-armor. And by stumble, I mean one of them falls on their face while the other laughs. [Writathon Participant] People read this far? What are you doing down here? Escape! The chapter buttons are over there, stop reading this. No? Fine. This book is an excuse to put a world I spent around 3-4 months of my life building over the pandemic into writing. I was planning on doing the writathon last year, but somehow managed to confuse October and November. Dont laugh, I'm already ashamed enough. This book is about a pair of twins, doing twin things: calling each other names, going to school, learning how to use their blood to become unstoppable, juggernaut, killing machines... You know, twin stuff. It's like if someone stuffed a school arc inside of a tournament arc inside of a war arc. A good time, basically. I hope you enjoy it.

The BLOODLANDS
The story follows a young lord in which a middle-aged man reincarnated into the body and gets a second chance at using the knowledge he learns from reading in his past life. No longer bound to the world of his library and university but in a world in which if he failed not only his death but the death of others are in his hands. This concept of the book came about from having two mild heart attacks and the regrets of not being more active in my younger life. Note: The cover of the book is from a painting of Richard the Lionheart at the Battle of Arsuf (1191) during the Third Crusade where he defeated Saladin. Painting by Gustave Doré (19th century).
