《My Humble Adobe Of Short Stories》Letter to a Stranger

Dear Stranger Whom I Wish To Meet Someday,
Okay, this is not a very good beginning but let me start with telling you this, in advance, that I'm not very good at writing letters. Writing letters is all a bit new for me because I haven't really written letters to anyone before, so please bear with me a little. You know, today as I am writing this letter, a thought occurred to me: Why don't we write letters more often? It is such a beautiful process: You pick out the best piece of paper you can find; pour out your feelings along the lines, fold the letter neatly; put it in a pretty little envelope; seal it with wax and then send the letter off. But sadly, slowly and gradually this art is dying.
Look how stupid of me, in all of this (explaining how I am not good at writing letters), I even forgot to ask you about your wellbeing. I know you can't see me right now, but I'm definitely facepalming myself. :)) Anyway, I hope that you and your family are in good health. :) Even though I haven't met them yet, someday I hope I will.
When you write to someone you have never seen before, you start expecting a lot from them like how their personality is, what their physical attributes are, if they like eating olives as much as you do?(yes, I do love to eat a good amount of olives). But for once, I would like to keep all that aside and not expect anything. Honestly, before writing this letter, I did imagine those things but now, I know that those are pointless cause I want to see you through your eyes.
This may sound a little random, but do you wanna know something amazing. Right now I'm sitting in my balcony and writing this letter. It is around 6:30 a.m and one of the most beautiful sights behold my eyes. In the very East, the sun is rising above the horizon with red, orange and pink hues spreading in all the directions. I know a lot of people say that sunsets are beautiful but try giving sunrise a chance(if it is possible), especially if you are feeling low someday. For me, sunrise denotes hope; that after every dark day, there would be a day filled with light. And I hope that this can help you in those dull, tiring days.

Before I end this letter, I would like to apologize for if I have said something wrong or offended you in some way. And Thank You for taking out the time to read this letter. The seal on the envelope has a dried flower stuck to it from my garden, hopefully, this will remind you of me. If someday, we meet or you read this letter( no matter if it's two, four, ten or even twenty years), please write back to me.
Goodbye, for now,
Your Awaiting Stranger.

Vale… Is Not a Vampire?
Vale Bryce is a hunter because her dad wants her to be one. She is a loner because all hunters are. She is a drifter because that is how hunters find their jobs. Those are lies. Vale is none of those things, the lies the only thing keeping her alive. Until one day she slips up. A single moment of truth ruins it all, awakening a longing for a life not built on things she isn’t. Vale has to go back to lying. She has to. The Inquisition will kill her if she doesn’t. But the truth is too addictive. Vale is not a vampire. That is a lie. That is how she will die. Yet maybe... dying happy is better than dying a lie? First volume completed. Second volume in the works (estimated release fall 2022).

First, she needs to convince (seduce) the warrior god Huayu into training her. Then she needs to rack up the kills by hunting yaoguai to prove her worth. Winning would grant Ziyan the reincarnating abilities of a goddess. If she fails, her villagers will fry in hell's oil vats forever. Ziyan is determined to succeed, until she learns yaoguai are just pawns doing the gods' dirty work. Faced with the true killers of her people (and armed with badass fighting skills), Ziyan asks herself, does she want to save only her villagers or can she overthrow this pantheon of assholes and rescue all those living under the yokes of gods?

8 86Subversion
Subversion is a game with highly customizable settings that allow you to fine tune your character choices. It was state-of-the-art when it was released, won awards and everything. It's not a game for you to pick "random" and hope for the best. But, that's exactly what Miguel did when he started playing. And, of course, his characters came out a little...different. A pothead bombardier elf who cusses and engineers. A stubborn Chosen One who refuses to do anything but farm. And a world full of NPCs, bosses, and villains who act nothing like they should. Now Miguel is forced to adjust the situation in order to help his characters level up and defeat the Dark Lord. But, will they make it to the end of the game? And if they do somehow survive all the tricks, betrayals, and deception thrown their way, will the game be what anyone thought it was going to be? *** As of [13] Do a Barrel Roll! Ch. II, Subversion will no longer be uploaded on Royal Road. Please go to forestgreenwriting.com for more chapters.***
