Author's Note
Okay, I know. So Part 5 was probably the most explicit yet. I hope I haven't offended anyone's sensibilities.
I have to admit that I kind of went out of my way to make this part pretty graphic. Even this censored version goes pretty far. If my dad ever saw what I've written now, I'd really be in trouble. Seriously. I think he'd probably disown me or something and never speak to me again. He'd be so upset. Which, I think, is why I wrote it like that. When I was writing the graphic scenes, I kept thinking about how disappointed in me he would be, and this just made me describe the details even more explicitly. I wanted him to read it. I wanted to see his reaction. I'm not so dumb as to actually let him see any of this, but sometimes I feel like it's the only way I could ever get back at him.
I guess you're wondering what I mean by "get back at him." Well . . .
The thing is, I sneaked out again with Kyle. And this time my dad caught me. I'm so stupid. I should have known he would catch me. Kyle and I didn't even really do anything but go for a quick drive and mess around a little. Nothing like last time. He had to be back before his parents got home from some event or something, so I was only gone for about a half hour.
But when I climbed back through the window, my dad was actually sitting in my room. I almost had a heart attack. He even helped pull me back inside so I wouldn't hurt myself. It was so embarrassing.
He basically grounded me "indefinitely" from everything but homework. He took my phone away. At least he didn't turn the internet off this time. But he actually put a block on my window so it can only open like three inches. I don't know if that's even legal. He said he didn't want me to hurt myself.

But I don't know when I'll be able to see Kyle again. Maybe never. I haven't even told him what happened yet. I'm trying to figure out how to say it in an email. He's probably tried to text me, and he's probably wondering why I haven't texted him back. I think I might be putting off writing to him because when I do I'll have to face up to the fact that I won't be able to see him anymore, ever, and I'll have to stop pretending that I will. And I'll have to tell him all of that.
I have to stop thinking so much about Kyle. I'm just going to write stories. Write, write, write. Sometimes I feel like it's the only thing I've got.

Adventures of the Goldthirst Company
Get the quest, kill the monsters, grab the loot, don't die. How hard can adventuring be? When the party is a fashionista wizard who'd rather stare at her reflection than dirty herself with actual combat, a thief that picks locks by ripping them apart, a paladin trying to do the right thing, and an archer that's better at talking to plants than people, then even a simple quest can prove a challenge. Hired for a variety of tasks, from retreiving the legendary Dragon's Veil to bodyguarding the wealthy, thwarting apocalyptic prophecies, or uncovering not-so-abandoned elven ruins, the problems in their way may well prove their undoing; lonesome medusas, sticky-fingered psychopomps, agressively passive golems and fearsomely violent geography stand in their way, as well as the minor issue of simply not actually trusting, or even liking, each other! Releases twice weekly, generally Tuesday and Friday (Art by Sin Soppitt)

8 166Will You Be Alone? After The End? Don't You Know We're All Still Here?
More than a century ago the world was devastated, but that doesn't matter. Nobody cares about the past, stories from that time are as wildly conflicting as they are ridiculous--when any stories exist at all. There are problems in the here and now that need to be dealt with, bringing the past into things isn't going to help anyone. The fact is that young people all over the world are developing mysterious powers, and the public reactions to these powers are far from positive. Fair enough, you might say. Who wants a young man around who can conjure heat from the palm of his hand? How deeply undesirable is a girl who can bend your emotions to her will? What use, I ask you, is a girl whose very essence crackles with lightning? No use at all, I'd say. As for this so-called Mr Fin and his grand ideals, well, all I can say is that his clothing is of better quality than his plans. Vague allusions to a 'sanctuary' and a 'mysterious and powerful statue' are all very well, but when it comes to solid results I fear you may find him somewhat lacking. Mark my words and mark them well, following one such as him will only lead to tears. All in all, I'd say there's not much you could reasonably expect from a world such as this. Conflict, perhaps. Hardship, certainly. Despair, heartache, loss... ...hope? No, don't be ridiculous. Where could one find hope, in this ruin of an existence? Honestly, I am asking. Where?Discord
