《Taking Tammy.》(23)
Advertisement
It was chilly outside. The cold air danced around Tammy's skin, reminding her of the first day she and Aidan had met.
Ben barked once then fell silent, almost as if he knew Aidan was hiding behind him.
"Be back in five or I'll come out and get you myself," Aidan had told her, before passing her the dog leash.
Now that she was alone with her thoughts, Tammy couldn't help but wonder what her life would have been like back home.
Probably the same as it was before; boring and lonely.
Still, it was her home, and Tammy didn't want anything else than to be back where she belonged.
She'd make some changes, of course. Enroll in college, make some friends... better her life.
Ben let out a playful cry, almost as if he had read her mind. "And you're coming with me," she patted him on the head, scratching him behind the ears.
The duo were about to turn a corner when a scream echoed from ahead of them.
"I can't come, Dave," the woman from the bungalow shouted as her husband appeared with a large suitcase and other bags, including a small pink rucksack.
His wife whirled around, seemingly searching for something. "Grace is missing," she exclaimed, panic rising in her voice.
Tammy glanced back at the house nervously before running over to the couple, Ben jogging happily beside her.
"What's wrong?" she asked, breathing heavily as she stopped outside the bungalow.
Dave frowned, dumping one of the bags on the ground. "Nothing for you to worry about," he said, shutting her down immediately.
His wife narrowed her eyes, disagreeing with her husband's pettiness. "Grace is missing. I can't find her anywhere."

"She'll turn up Diane," Dave interrupted her, giving Tammy no chance to speak. "Stop fussing."
Dianne shook her head before returning her attention to Tammy. "Please let me know if you see her."
Tammy nodded and Dave scowled, growing more frustrated with each second which passed.
"You can let your boyfriend know we'll be reporting him," he growled, snarling at Ben who hadn't done a thing. "The rental website will have him hung."
Dianne sighed, rolling her eyes. "It was Facebook."
With that, an alarm grew in Tammy's mind.
How long had she been outside for? Aidan had told her five minutes. If she wasn't back in time, how'd she expect him to trust her?
"I have to go," Tammy spoke, her head burning into a migraine.
When she got back to the house, Aidan was waiting for her at the door, his arms folded and eyebrows raised.
"I don't recall giving you permission to go visit our friends."

8 121In This New Life, My Own Fantasy Adventure Begins!
A little shut-in girl that for unknown reasons and means got transported into a fantasy world. Barely surviving her first arrival to this new world, she continued to live her life as she intended, only to experience the hardships and cruelty of the world firsthand. With a little effort and friendship along the way… she found more reasons to do more than just live her life. The more she stayed, the more she learned how problematic the world actually was. And to think that's bad enough, adding to that was the existence of a great evil that threatened the land and all its standing Kingdoms. Given the chance to fix those problems by her own hand, she took it. Her motivations for affirming this heavy task was unclear, even to herself. But one thing's for certain– she's gonna be doing a lot until she gets anywhere… do what she normally doesn't, become somebody she normally couldn't, setting off on an important journey with her newfound self worth. A journey for no absolute constructive reason. She might not be aware of it immediately… but that is her Fantasy. ------------------------- Just a few more things to note before you get started. Extra tag: Anime Yes, this is an anime-styled fiction, and it isn't meant to represent real life scenarios in grave detail. If you're familiar with anime and manga, the following mannerisms and tropes wouldn't feel too foreign. But if you feel that that isn't your cup of tea or you can't appreciate it, you can drop the read anytime you'd like.
8 72Ten Thousand Sallys
Imagine waking up in a hospital room, you can barely move. No one comes when you call. The only other person present is a little boy, who is, surprisingly, more help than you would expect. What would you do? This is the exact situation Sally finds herself in. Almost immediately she discovers that nothing is what she thinks it is. Not the boy, not the hospital, maybe not even herself. She is in deep trouble and the consequences will be dire if she can’t find a way out. She is a fighter, though, and just doesn't quit. As a baseline human, she starts as the lowest of the low and has to claw her way up in spite of being tangled in a shifting web of schemes and plots. She has to do her best, and maybe her best is pretty good. As Sally uncovers more about her situation, she finds that she has to be smart and tough and that in this place she needs to depend on her friends, who are using her as much as she is using them. This book contains themes concerning life, death, and body functions, light swearing, minimal nakedness, and should be suitable for most. Some pertinent info: Ten Thousand Sallys is a complete novel of approximately 140 pages in 20 chapters. Around 80,000 words. not too long, and maybe too short. Give it a read and let me know your opinion.
8 226Crimson Gloom
Crimson Gloom. The time when the moon turns crimson, illuminating the landscape with its crimson glow. The time when the ‘doors’ to the Crimson Abyss open. One shall gaze into the abyss and gain its secrets and powers. Concurrently, the abyss also gazes into oneself, gaining one’s sanity and humanity. Dimensional rifts appeared spontaneously on Earth, bringing otherworldly demons along with the Crimson Gloom. Bloody battles were fought, noble sacrifices were made. Humans eventually sealed the rifts and successfully defended their homeworld. Alas, the seals were not perfect. The Crimson Abyss continued to exist, slowly influencing Earth and its inhabitants. Half a century of relatively uneventful years passed… humanity slowly descended into corruption, and the majority of them knew nothing of the effects of the Crimson Abyss. Is there only the dreadful gloom left to the world? Can one find brightness in the increasingly gloomy world? The youth who had gazed into the Crimson Abyss had no answer, nor did he care. He only wanted the Crimson Gloom to end, to forever seal the Crimson Abyss. A mistake and a twist of fate led the youth into a seemingly totally different direction. Will he forget his lifelong goal? Will he instead step back onto his initial path that he fervently pursued? Disclaimer: I do not own the image on the cover. Image edited on canva.com. This piece of work, after all, is only a first draft and by no means an end product by an amateur (beginner) writer. Mistakes are bound to happen. With that said, I will strive to improve as I write. Feel free to point out errors and inconsistencies as you read. I thank you for your time. Finally, I pledge to not rewrite this novel until the first draft is completed.
