《Country Living - Finn Harries (JacksGap)》Chapter 2: She's Beautiful

Finn's POV
"This chicken is absolutely delicious, Mrs. Stone." Jack said as we ate dinner. "Please, call me Jenny." She said. I was almost done with my delicious meal, the plate next to mine hadn't been touched. "Where is sissy?" Josie, their 5 year old daughter, asked. "I don't know, honey." Mr. John said. "I wonder what's taking her so long." Mrs. Jenny said. "She's probably out with Caspian." Mr. John said. Wait, is Caspian a guy? If I'm correct, the girl I saw on the horse was Morgan, their oldest daughter. I shouldn't be surprised she has a boyfriend. We heard a door open to reveal it to be Morgan. Yep, that's her; she's so pretty. "What happened to don't go too far?" Mrs. Jenny asked her. "We didn't go out far. Just the pasture for a while." Morgan said, glancing at me and Jack. "Well, wash up and eat." Mr. John said. "Your food is probably cold by now." Mrs. Jenny said as Morgan washed her hands in the kitchen sink. "I'm eating with the horses." She said, grabbing her plate from beside me. "Morgan..." Mrs. Jenny went to say, but not in time for Morgan to listen as she went out the door she entered in. "I'm sorry about her. A lot of things have changed for her this summer." Mr. John said. "Hopefully she'll be better in the morning." Mrs. Jenny said as we kept eating.

"So, for the next couple of months, we'll be living the country life, here in America." Jack said to the camera as we sat on his bed. "I'm really excited for this summer." I said. "Me, too, Finn. Me too." Jack said before turning his camera off. "This is going to be so weird." Jack said. "Why did we have to come anyway? This is so dumb." I said, getting up to fall onto my bed a few feet away from Jack's. "Apparently we were taking advantage of our lives in London." Jack tried to explain. "Rubbish." I said. "I know." Jack said, taking down his camera. "Why couldn't we just go to, I don't know, Brighton?" I asked, staring at the ceiling. "I don't know, Finn. It's good content for the channel." Jack said. "Ugh." I said, getting up to get ready for bed. "John, she's still out there." I heard Mrs. Jenny's voice outside our room. "Don't worry, Jen. She'll be fine." Mr. John's voice said. "At least go check on her, please." Mrs. Jenny said. "I don't know why Morgan's being all dramatic all of a sudden." Mr. John said. "Well, she and Josh were really close, now he's at college. And with Kennedy in New York, I guess she's losing all her friends. And, let's not forget the cancer." She said. Wait, Morgan has cancer?! "Hun, she doesn't have it. You do and you're dealing with it better than she is." Mr. John said. "Mrs. Jenny has cancer?" Jack whispered, listening with me. "Just go check on her, please." Mrs. Jenny said as we heard footsteps walk down the hallway and the stairs.

I quickly slipped on my shoes. "Where are you going?" Jack asked. "To check on Morgan." I said, reaching for the door handle. "Whatever, mate." He said, going back to his bed. I slipped out of our room and found my way to the horse stable. As I entered, I found at least 5 use stalls. Missy, Brady, Payton, Claire, and Caspian were the names over the stalls. Caspian, it's a horse, not a guy... Caspian's stall door was opened slightly. I looked in to see an empty plate, a chestnut brown horse, and Morgan, sleeping with her head on the horse's stomach. She's really pretty. "There she is. I knew she'd be ok." I heard Mr. John say from behind me, startling both me and the horse. The horse lifted his head up, looked at us, then Morgan. "Do you mind taking her upstairs? I'm not as strong as I use to be." Mr. John whispered, picking up her plate. "Of course." I said, walking over to her. As I bent down to pick her up, the horse made a noise when my hands came near her. "Caspian, he's fine. He's taking her up to bed." Mr. John said to the horse. I picked up Morgan under her knees and back; she snuggled into me as we walked into the house. "Her room is across from yall's upstairs." Mr. John said as we got to the stairs. When we got to her room, Mrs. Jenny was there to open the door and draw the covers. I gently laid Morgan down on her bed and drew the covers over her. "Thank you, Finn." Mrs. Jenny said, placing her hand on my shoulder. "No problem." I said as she and Mr. John left her room. I watched Morgan sleep for a little before I turned her lights off and headed to the bathroom to get ready for bed.

Heart of Dorkness
When an accident causes the early death of two young women, one is chosen to become a hero, a saviour, and a servant of the God of Heroes! This is not her story. This is the story of Valeria, whose soul clung to her friend’s, and who was dragged into a new world where her wandering spirit was claimed by the Goddess of Darkness. And so, one who doesn’t belong grows to become the servant of the Dark Goddess, a servant—definitely not a daughter—who will usher in a new age of despair and disgust. The only problem is, she’s really bad at the whole “evil” thing, not that she’s unwilling to do her best to please her adoptive mom, the Dark Goddess Luciana.
8 115Grin the Cheat
There was a time when heroes roamed between the Four Great Cities. They fought for kingdoms and princesses and they lived and died by their valour. Or so the stories say. The way the minstrels sing it, everyone had a swashbuckling good time. Nowadays, buckles are rarely swashed. All the great beasts have been slain, all the great treasures unearthed. Princesses are few and far between — the ones worth fighting over, anyway — and the kingdoms have been divvied up between the sons of sons of sons of the heroes of old. No valour required. Frankly, the hero business is in a sorry state. Luckily for Grin the Cheat, thieving and murder are thriving as usual. If you have a moment, please vote for this story at Top Web Fiction.

8 110The Desecrator's Tomb - A Numbers Lit-aRPG
A man appears in a dungeon full of undead. He tries to leave. This is my attempt at writing a litrpg where the system is more formalized. This means that there will be a fair amount of min-maxing and we will hopefully be able to calculate the dps of every ability by the time I am done. Expect math. The main character will become a Drain Tank. This story uses an aRPG item and stat system. Oh and one last thing. Beware the penguins. update 1/8/22: I am trying to simulate things as faithfully as is reasonable. As of chapter 17 there are animated gifs depicting Chilly's life throughout encounters. update 1/11/22: Kreksyte drew me a cover! All hail our artist overlords! update 5/25/22: Going on hiatus for a bit. The second arc is complete. Will come back for the 3rd and final arc soon. update 7/15/22: ayy...I've returned. Starting the third and final arc. [was once a participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

Konrad Feldpetzer had believed the state propagand fed to him for as long as he could remember in his hometown in Bavaria. It was all built on a foundation of cards, though, with his chance abduction by the French resistance being all the breeze needed to blow it away.
