《My Parents are Gay》Definitely Not Skipping

Narrator's POV
Tony knocked the alarm clock off his night stand. He was already awake, had been for the past three days. He sat up, groaning. He stretched as usual, and put on his slippers. He went to the bathroom and looked at himself in the mirror.
"Another day, another dollar." He said and walked out. He walked into the kitchen. McDonald's wrappers and cups rested on the counter. Pizza boxes were flowing out of the trash can. Half drank and empty soda cans spilled from a black trash bag hanging from on of the cabinets below the kitchen counter. Peter came down shortly after him.
"Good morning Mr. Stark." He yawned.
"Mornin kid." Tony bent down and looked down in the fridge. The light flickered. He tapped it and it stopped its flickering.
"Any word from Dr. Strange?" Peter asked, sitting at the counter.
"Not even a syllable." Tony answered. He looked in the freezer.
"Whatever the problem was, must've been quite the big one." Peter said.
"How does tater tots with pickles and orange juice sound?" Tony asked, still looking into the freezer.
"Anything in the pantry?" Asked Peter. Tony went over to it. There was only a box of oyster crackers in it. "Oh." Peter groaned.
"Looks like we're going grocery shopping." Tony said, closing the pantry door.
"Wait, I have school." Peter said.
"No, you're sick." Tony raised a brow at Peter. Peter smiled.

"Welcome to Walmart." Greeted a woman at the entrance of the Walmart store.
"Yeah, you too." Tony said. "Alright Peter get in the cart. I want to get this over with as fast as possible."
"Uh, Mr. Stark I can't get in the cart." Peter said.

"Sure you can. It's even got a seat belt for you not to fall out of." Tony pointed out.
"But it says right here this is for children under the age of six-"
"Just get in the damn cart." Tony sighed.

"Woo-hoo!" Peter laughed as Tony pushed him in the cart around the isles. Tony was using small jets to push the cart while he was somewhere else around the store getting more stuff. Peter reached his hand out and snatched cereal off a shelf as he continued his way around the isle. "Okay Mr. Stark. I got the cereal." Peter said into a walkie talkie.
"Okay. Now we need bread." Came Tony's voice.
"Alright, those are on isle 12." Peter said into the walkie talkie. "Keep going, keeping going, keep going." Peter said, Tony increased the speed to get there faster. Peter was having so much fun, he didn't realize he almost missed the isle. "Hard right. Right! RIGHT!" The cart took a very hard right, hitting some shelves and knocking over some glass containers.
"Kid, what was that? Was it expensive? It sounded expensive." Tony's voice came from the walkie talkie.
"Just about 8 glass containers." Peter said into the walkie talkie, looking up at people who were staring at him.
"Alright. Nothing too serious. Now let's get this bread." Tony said. "Did I do it right?" Asked Tony.
"You did great." Peter glowed with pride as the last few days he'd spent explaining and teaching pop culture references to Tony finally paid off. He completely forgot about the people who were staring at him. "Uh, I'll pay for that." He said and the cart started to slowly disappear into the isle. He got the bread. "I have acquired the bread." Peter said.

"Alright, that was the last thing on the list. I'll see you at the check out line." Tony said. The cart began to zoom through isles and to the check out line.
"Whoa! Hold up." Peter said, the cart jerked to a stop.
"What?" Tony asked.
"Mr. Stark have you ever had a zebra cake?"
"No. We don't have time for this Peter. There's an old woman about to win the last unoccupied register."
"Mr. Stark it's the last one. And you haven't lived until you've tried one of these." Peter said, grabbing the box off the shelf.
"Fine. Take it." The cart began to zoom to the register, meeting Tony. "Bout time. I had to buy like 4 packs of gum just to at least stay here." He said, starting to put the groceries through the conveyor belt.
"Trust me, these zebra cakes are defiantly worth it." Peter said.

"And that right there Mr. Stark, is Squidward." Peter said pointing at the famous cartoon character.
"Mmm." Tony said as he chewed some popcorn.
They were both sitting on the couch with a blanket in front of the television. It was dark outside already, and the glow of the tv was the only light on in the house. There were snacks all around the two. Caprisun juice boxes laid all around them. The quickly finished Zebra Cake box sat beside Tony. Peter was eating a bowl of ice cream. The clock on top of the television struck 2:35am.
"Well kid, you should probably got to bed. After all these snack, you might actually be sick tomorrow." Tony laughed.
"Alright. Night Mr. Stark, don't let the bed bugs bite and lay eggs in your ear." Peter said, placing his bowl of cereal on the couch and going upstairs.
Tony watched Peter leave, making sure to wait till Peter's door shut before he grabbed the ice cream bowl. He continued watching the kid's show.
His phone began to ring. It was Peter. He answered. "Yes?" He said with a mouthful of ice cream.
"Hey, could you maybe turn it down a little?" Peter asked.
"Sure thing kid." Tony turned it down.
"Thanks. Goodnight, love ya dad." Peter went silent. "Uh..."
"I love you too son..." Tony whispered.
"Dad!" Peter came out of nowhere and jumped on Tony. Tony laughed.
"Alright alright kid." He patted Peter on the head.

Wander West, in Shadow
BOOK 1 COMPLETED A young wizard journeys west, through dark forests and dangerous lands, searching for something. Accompanied by a wild witch who has secrets of her own, they come across terrible creatures, hauntings, cursed villages, and memories from their past. Who else will they meet along their journey, and to find what he is looking for, how far will the wizard have to wander west? NOTE: The above synopsis is intentionally written to be as spoiler-free as possible. If you would like a more in-detail synopsis, one that contains minor spoilers, please check out the "Synopsis" chapter at the beginning of this fiction. If you read and enjoy, please leave a rating or review! FORMERLY TITLED: THE GLIMMERLING This story was formerly titled "The Glimmerling", because the first part was a short story of that title; it has since been expanded upon, thus the title change. Chapters 1-8 (30k words) are the first 'arc', if you want to get a feel for the story. To give some context on the setting: Magic is a bit weaker in this story than you might be used to, and we start off following some relatively new magic users. For some perspective, being able to light a campfire with magic is considered relatively advanced for someone who is the age of the main character. Magic can become very powerful - and there are some examples of powerful wizards within this story - but it's not where the main characters are yet. Part of the story is about following them as they learn more about magic. Enemies are also very dangerous, and running, hiding, or trying to talk their way out of a dangerous situation is often a better choice than fighting for the characters. While I have added tags for traumatizing content, sexuality, violence, swearing, etc. I try to avoid super-explicit descriptions of these things. But they are part of the story.

Hi, this is my first novel because writing looks fun and I tend to be incredibly bored a lot. I don't know if I'm any good so please tell me what I'm doing wrong as a review Chapters will come out whenever I feel like a reponsible person PS: I am a very indescisive person so the synopsis will change a lot, have fun with that. PPS: I am terrible at writing synopsises. So I'm reading this a few years later and my god its shocking no one shot me in the head when I was younger. But uh, people have been DMing me asking if this story has stopped, which it has. (why was I allowed on the internet during my EdgeLord Phase, I don't know, but someone really should have stopped me) But thanks to all the people who read this, it really does mean a lot.

Being Frank
**Author's Note** This was my 7th attempt at writing this story. I've worked on the story since 20 years ago but my writing style and skills haven't been satisfactory to me. So after working as a digital content manager for 2 years and after a very long deliberation I've decided to drop this 7th attempt and start on my 8th attempt. This 8th attempt will be the same story but starting from a different point in the timeline of my story. Thank you for your support on this 7th try, it is only due to your reviews and comments that I have the confidence to work hard on my 8th attempt. I started on my 8th attempt with the intention that my 8th attempt will be the final one as I'm a lot more confident and content with my where my writing skills are currently at. Volume 1 In a world filled with magic, war, giants and other awesome races lives Frank. Who being Frank is somewhat of a hermit. He loves to tinker with various contraptions trying to bend the laws of magic to his will. Through his successes he has garnered some attention; unwanted attention. If only that was all there was to it. .... war is coming Volume 2 Frank was born as a normal child, born in a normal family. His father was a scientist and was busy working most days. This is also why Frank was especially excited when his father decided to take an extended holiday to travel to Asia with his family. But their trip turns out to be one from which there is no going back. Writer's notice: I will continue to participate in the NaNoWriMo every November till I finish all that I have planned to write. I expect to have this story finished in 14 years approximately.Update:I was unhappy with how I had first written the first and second volume but am leaving the editing and finishing of those volumes till later and have started on the third one. The chronological order so far is 2-1-3. Might fix that too later.
