《Looking For A Place Called Home》Chapter 4 ~ Reunited with old friends
Advertisement
The day that I found out that a family were coming I was so excited! I made my bed quickly, did my chores and then pulled on my 'best clothes'. This time, I was prepared. Nobody was going to get to me. I was ready to be adopted, I was tired of living in a place where I was afraid to say anything to anyone in case they hurt me, I just hid in the shadows of everybody else.
"Maddie pay attention!" My dance teacher Abby Lee Miller yelled at me. I tried to focus, but how could I with my mum arguing with my friend's mums? I carried on dancing, but I knew that no matter how hard I tried, I would always be in Brooke's (My best friend Paige's big sister) shadow. She was Miss Abby's favourite and always had been. Sometimes, I really hated Brooke Hyland. All I was, was a shadow of her.
"MADISON YOU'RE WANTED!" Ms Blair yelled up the stairs. I ran downstairs and walked into the office behind her. "Madison? Madison Ziegler?" A familiar voice asked. I peeped out from behind Ms Blair and saw a girl with flowing blonde hair and blue - grey eyes. "Hey!" I said, smiling, "Paigey Mack I thought I'd never see you again!" She ran to me and hugged me. "We thought the same thing!" She cried. Brooke walked in, smiling widely, "We found you!" I nodded and hugged them both.
Jade and Shelby came in, followed by Sophia and Sarah. "Well well well, if it isn't Little Miss Perfect Maddie." Jade laughed. I looked down and sighed. Paige clearly saw the pained expression on my face and yelled, "Leave her alone! What did she do to you?" Shelby, who towered over her by at least 3 inches, just cackled like the witch she is. "Maddie are you going to be adopted by these people?" Sophia asked, smiling.

I'd not even thought about that. "Oh... I don't know!" I blurted out, causing Jade and Shelby to burst out laughing. I blushed and looked at Paige and Brooke. "Mum is going to be here in a minute." Brooke stated, looking at me. "We're hoping that she adopts you because we missed you a lot!" Paige cried happily.

8 306Giantslayer
Synopsis: Alain is a fledgling Giantslayer, enhanced individuals capable of killing deadly giants. But these giants are not big, they are what ancient humans would refer to as mundane animals or beasts. 'The Final Curse' as many humans call it, was a curse that shrunk down the entire human population to the size of small rodents. When the curse first occurred, the majority of the human population was eaten by beasts who are now of towering heights and sizes. But their abandoned gargantuan structures were not built for naught, the remaining humans retreated back into their now giant buildings and rebuild societies and nations inside of them. Follow Alain in his quest to right the wrongs done to his past and hunt down the elusive and mythical Elder Giants, giants capable of intellects and speech. Are they real? Alain certainly insists so despite no one believing him. But perhaps it did not matter, they were real enough to him for what they did to his family. A/N: I'm pretty new to writing creatively so I hope to improve as we move along the story. The prose I use is still fairly simple and 'plain', but I am also new to literature in general so I am hoping to improve my vocabulary as well. It should also come under no surprise that I am a non-native English speaker and writer as well. With that said, I do appreciate constructive feedback. Please don't be overly mean at least. All the chapters are rough drafts that will be edited in the future. The cover is by this user from pixiv: https://www.pixiv.net/en/users/4545042
8 237Amygdala Hijack - A Genetic Engineering Sci-Fi Novel of Impending Dystopia
A platinum-gold obelisk crash-lands on a Saskatchewan farm, warning of imminent alien invasion. Peter Scott, a science podcaster with ratings in decline, considers this a gift from heaven. He plans to reinvigorate the show's slumping popularity by interviewing a cast of edgy experts with brazen proposals to defend Earth from the anticipated invaders. But the planet has bigger issues than space marauders. That's because it's 2037, and DNA is just another programming language. Gene editing has vaulted society toward anarchy as humans rapidly hybridize, modifying their bodies with edited DNA, robotics, and computer interfaces. Add to that the constant existential threats from engineered microbes. Alien invasions, social disruptions, and pandemics are not the only concerns for Peter and team. Shadowy forces will stop at nothing to kill the podcast – or them. (episodes 1-28 of 159 in the series)

Interesting tidbits I’ve wrote down while high, sad or otherwise distracted in life. Hopefully it’s received well! This is for those who believe they are alone, you aren’t.
