i wake up to the sound of things moving around in the kitchen. i lift the covers off me wondering how i got tucked in in the first place. i hobbled over to the door handle twisting it and pulling it open.
i make my way over to the kitchen when ms jamison notices me in the light all my bruises and healing cuts are more visible i could hear a small gasp escape her lips due to my powers. she walks over to me hands on my shoulders. ms jamison pulls me into a hug i flinch slightly due to the pain but feel safe in her arms. she pulls away.
'go have a shower hun, i'll have some spare clothes on the bed when you come out and breakfast should be ready by then'. i smile at her making my way back into the room. i grab my mini first aid kit and head to the bathroom.
i strip my dirty bloody clothes on a pile on the floor i turn the water on surprised about the warmth. it has been years since i had a hot shower, i wanted to stay in here for ever but than felt bad for using so much of her hot water. i gently scrub all the dirt off of my skin, the hot water burning some of my cuts. i rinse out my hair washing it with coconut shampoo.
turning the water off i step out looking over my small beat body in the mirror. i look so pale my bones visible bruises littering my body cuts and scars painted my arms, legs,face and especially my torso. i wrap a towel around me stepping into the bedroom i notice a small nike sports bra, simple white shirt and black denim shorts layed out on the bed i chuck on the underwear and shorts putting the bra on i walk out to miss jamison a bit embarrassed of the scars on my stomach.

i walk over to her handing her the small pouch.
'uh could you help with some of the uh cuts'. i studded out she smiles warmly and leads be over to the bench stools. ms jamison finishes the last bandage chucking me the shirt i had carried out. i slip it over my head just as the plate of a hash brown bacon english muffin sandwich is placed in front of me along with a bottle of apple juice.
i thank the kind woman as she explains that she had found a wonderful placement for me. a man mr thomas who had been fostering for years him and his wife were foster kids until his wife died last year.
while i'm eating she quickly washes my clothes getting the stains out. as 9oclock comes around she gave me a basic black bag i put my phone, first aid and clothes in. i thanked her as we left here apartment building.
getting into the car again i sit in the back not wanting to be rude. on the ride to the mans house we exchange small conversations she decides to give me her number in case something happens again. we pull up to mr thomas's getting out i walk up to the door feeling little emotion. now i'm just used to it .most kids should hope for a big house and other kids to play with i just hope for a meal occasionally.
ms jamison knocks on the door smiling in my direction. a tall buff man answers the door. i could small the faint smell of alcohol. great another alcoholic i think my emotions disappeared.
'good morning mr thomas this is y/n and you will love her she is very sweet' ms jamison introduces. the man smiles his rotten yellow teeth hiding only a bit of the horrible breath.
after a few more minutes of talking i am left alone with this man. once that door closes a switch flips in his head. he turns to me

'u will stay here and be quiet if u are not working or at school got it' i nod 'good put your stuff down over there and come back up the stairs when your done. with that he turns and leaves.

i hide my phone in case i'm not allowed it and hurry back up stairs. once i'm up i see mr thomas standing by a filthy kitchen. 'good your here. clean this then tell me when your done and i will inspect it' i dont respond so he slaps me. 'you will answer to me when you are spoken to'
'yes sir' i answer beginning to work about an hour into cleaning the filth im putting the last plate away when i dropthe plate as i'm drying it. it smashes on he ground ceramic sliding over the floor. i hear heavy footsteps come from across the house. mr thomas looks at the floor than at me and back to the beer bottle in his hand. the man throughs the bottle at me it smashing against my head pieces of glass in my head. he wobbles over to me hands in fists.he swings but my 6th sense tells me to move left so i do. the man annoyed i blocked his punch swigs again this time catching my jaw due to the fact i thought it would be bad for him to miss again pain runs threw me as a few more hard punches to the head makes my vision blurry he goes and starts knee ing my abdomen. i double over in pain. new bruises form. i'm pushed down onto he floor and he starts kicking me. i'm laying in glass curled up in a ball the pain unbearable as this man kicks and punches me over and over until i almost pass out. he grabs a small knife from the beach bringing it up to me. i flinch and back away he stabs my shoulder. i cry out in pain,. now he seems satisfied , he walks away. i pick up the glass of the floor putting it in the bin and head down to my 'room' texting nat. i knew if i called ms jamison i would probably be sent to a worse home at least this one i get can handle. i open my phone to see a message from nat

BODY&SHADOW
AN ILLUSTRATED NOVEL • UPDATES TUESDAY AND FRIDAY In a time before living memory, the King Dragon of the Void watched the world and realized there was a crack. He realized that humanity was destroying the rock upon which they lived; they leaked life’s code into the churning chaos. At first the change was imperceptible: nanites overtook microorganisms, bacteria, viruses, amoebas. Insects became increasingly inorganic; birds and lizards followed soon after. Even humans were infected by their own advances, cell by cell, till there was not a person left on earth who wasn’t at least part synthetic, the product of a prior generation’s carelessness. The world’s population was ravaged by mechanical viruses with no vaccines; they were mercilessly overtaken by bacteria that knew no death. Soon, most of the planet was empty and only a handful remained who remembered the hedonist realm they came from; only a few were left who remembered what the world looked like when their buildings touched the sky. The King Dragon of the Void watched the rock turn. He watched humans cower as the Old World fell down around them; watched their great monuments crumble into dusty ruins; watched their codes become precious, ancient gem memories forged under the crushing pressure of so many fallen stones. The world has spun many times around the sun since chaos swallowed man whole. It is a simpler time than the one that died out, but the people now are not immune to the folly of the people before. There is old code everywhere: in the water, in the air, in the trees. The heart of man has been replaced by power cores, many of which are hard-coded with preternatural abilities—when they die, an esoteric mountain sect collects their cores and stores them in their hollow mountain home to preserve the sanctity and dignity of human death. They’ve learned to harness artifacts of the old world, gemstones full of codes their nanite infused bodies can parse as spells imbuing their users with great power; they inlay them into their bodies, into their skins, connected to their cores by copper conduit and gold tracers; they dress themselves in tattoos to advertise their prowess; they battle for relics in arenas, fight for them in the open world wherever they are found. The King Dragon of the Void watches the rock turn and wonders: when will this hunger finally make the rock stop spinning? WELCOME TO FANXING CITY … Twenty-five years ago, Fanxing City and the surrounding lands were commanded by the mad King Zao Beiguan. For many years, the King hoarded wealth, artifacts, food; he demanded tribute from a people already taxed to the edges of their existence and expected they be happy with their circumstances. Noncompliance was often punished harshly, bodies displayed proudly on Fanxing’s streets as a warning, from the city gates to the Zao palace’s golden doors. The youths of several prominent clans came together to overthrow the tyrant and made names for themselves as legendary heroes across the land: Tian, Ren, Feng, Gui, Ma, and Zhenxi. Even wanderers from the Luanshi sect descended from Yunji mountain to aid the rebellion. When the dust settled after three years, Tian Yunyong ascended the throne of Fanxing and swore to honour his slain father’s memory, and has maintained Fanxing’s peace with generosity and mercy where fear and cruelty once reigned.

Red Clay Technical Services: Mercenaries, Magicians, and Marketing
Bobby likes Pabst Blue Ribbon, NASCAR races, and throwing fireballs. A through and through Georgia boy, raised down in the sticks but now working with all things mystic. He is, in other words, a magician. Not just any magician- but one bound by the most egregious of terms: business contracts. See, a long time ago, Bobby got himself involved with a dragon whose business was making magicians, and Bobby wanted magic to be his business. Both of them having common interest, Bobby agreed to sign over his services in exchange for phenomenal (draconic) magic. A pretty awesome deal, right? The contract put him at the top percentage of human magicians, on top of having the backing of a dragon patron, and a fantastic set of benefits befitting an esteemed contractor, so it'd be smooth sailing from then on, right? Not so. That kind of power isn't granted without strings attached, and Bobby's practically bound up in them. Following the esoteric laws set forth by magicians , juggling them with the mortal interests he still has to abide by, and finding himself at the beck and call of a fickle and opaque patron makes his life as a magician a rollercoaster of ups and downs. But when his patron sets him on a strange task- with stranger company, no less, even Bobby has to question what his mission really is. Delving into fantastic crimes and cracking open mysteries is just the least he can do, and he'll do it with the help of his gun, his wand, and his trusted allies both large and small. --- Cover art is of the Georgia Guidestones. Chapters released on a semi-regular basis, at least one every two weeks, sometimes more. Also published on Offprint.net, Webnovel, and Scribblehub under the same title!
