《The Big Red Button》Chapter Four: A Lack of Specification
Advertisement
“This is boring and I’m lonely! How big is this damn forest!? IT’S BEEN EIGHT DAYS ALREADY; I SHOULD HAVE DIED BY NOW! I’M NOT EVEN HUNGRY!! GOD DAMN IT!”
Azad couldn’t help but scream at the sky in anger. He had been walking in that one general direction for eight days without a day of rest. His efforts proved fruitless as he couldn’t see himself getting any farther out of the sea of trees.
“WHERE ARE THE ANIMALS ANWAYS!? THERE SHOULD BE SOME IN SUCH A BIG FOREST!”
He hadn’t seen a single living creature besides the green menaces that were the trees. Azad had grown sick of them and wanted nothing more than to be rid of them. Though it’s not he really needed to find any animals, as he showed no signs of getting hungry. He still got thirsty though, which bugged him in a way. If you don’t need food, why would you need water? It didn’t make sense to Azad, and in his situation something that didn’t make sense to him only made him angrier.
“Fuck this forest and everything involved with it!”
Azad really did not like this forest, and really wanted to get out of it and fast as possible.
“Why did you put me in this god-forsaken forest George!? Why couldn’t you just put me somewhere nice? Somewhere with beds, and toilets! And why do I need to shit if I don’t eat anything!? That’s makes no sense! Let me leave this place already!”
“You sure? I found you trying to make your way through the forest to be quite funny though.”
“Go to hell.”
“I would but I don’t have any sun screen, so I can’t go streaking there! I’ll get sun burns.”
“Fuck you, get me out already if you can!”

“Fine, fine. Don’t get so mad, it’s causes wrinkles.”
“Just do it already George.”
Azad didn’t really want to question how the god had talked to him, he was a God after all. What he did want to question though, was why the God hadn’t contacted him sooner, instead of allowing him to roam the green hell for a week. He wasn’t going to ask though; he wasn’t sure he could stay calm after hearing the answer.
“Where would you like to go?”
“Somewhere without a lot of trees,” Azad said Grumpily.
“O-kay then.”
It was then Azad was once again thrown into darkness, just like when he left the God’s Realm. It didn’t last long though, as the endless black was replaced by green, as he fell face first onto dirt and grass.
“I fucking hate you George,” He mumbled through the grass.
Azad grumbled and climbed to his feet and surveyed his surroundings. What he saw left him even angrier than when he was in the forest.
What surrounded Azad were endless fields and hills, a truly beautiful sight, breath-taking even. Though it was pleasant to look at, it showed that there was no village of any kind near Azad. It also showed that there were no safe places to sleep.
“Why in the name of God did you bring me here? THERE’S NO FUCKING TOWN HERE!”
“Well you said nothing about a town, just no trees. And there certainly aren’t any trees in sight here.”
Azad could only glare at the God.
“Then take me to a town.”
“No can do Azad, you used your freebie. Can’t help you for another year, so see you then!”
George seemed to have somehow hung up the telepathic conversation him and Azad were having.
“Oh for the love of God.”
Azad couldn’t even get angry anymore, and just started walking in what he thought would be a promising direction. This was a completely baseless thought, as every direction looked exactly the same as the other.
‘I will one day beat the shit out of you George.’
Azad made this vow as he set out on his second journey.

The Hopeful Project
A pair of twins stumble their way into the world of blood magic, lizard people, and cultivation powered mecha-armor. And by stumble, I mean one of them falls on their face while the other laughs. [Writathon Participant] People read this far? What are you doing down here? Escape! The chapter buttons are over there, stop reading this. No? Fine. This book is an excuse to put a world I spent around 3-4 months of my life building over the pandemic into writing. I was planning on doing the writathon last year, but somehow managed to confuse October and November. Dont laugh, I'm already ashamed enough. This book is about a pair of twins, doing twin things: calling each other names, going to school, learning how to use their blood to become unstoppable, juggernaut, killing machines... You know, twin stuff. It's like if someone stuffed a school arc inside of a tournament arc inside of a war arc. A good time, basically. I hope you enjoy it.

The Blackgloom Bounty
In the dark days before the end of the first millennium, Scotland (or Scotia as some called it) was a leaderless hodgepodge of tribes, clans and warring factions all bent on the same thing--domination of the land. Wizards, sorcerers and magicians still plied their trade, though much of their power had given way to the machinations of men and their war machines. To the south of Scotia lay the realm of the Saxons ruled by Ethelred the Unready and his ruthless minions. To the west, Ireland had just come of age. Everywhere else the constant threat of a lightning swift Viking incursion loomed over the land.Growing up in this lawless world is a displaced Daynin McKinnon, heir to an ancient familial keep on the island of Rhum. He and his grandfather Ean scratch out a living amongst the Saxons, careful never to divulge their clan heritage. That all changes when Kruzurk Makshare chooses Daynin as the ideal prospect to help him bring down a vile sorcerer named The Seed of Cerberus, ferreted away in his impregnable fortress at Blackgloom. Little does Kruzurk know that in so doing, he will launch young Daynin, himself and others on a vast, dangerous quest that no one could have foreseen. *****One Hollywood producer has dubbed this three book fantasy epic from Jon Baxley as, "BRAVEHEART meets THE LORD OF THE RINGS." Real places, people and events flesh out this fast moving, multi-faceted semi-historical series but fear not fantasy readers. There's more than enough of the magical, mystical mayhem you have come to expect from great fantasy. Romance readers, too, will enjoy the 'spice' in these characters--and there are a lot of them--both human and otherwise. And if you're into Viking lore, this series certainly is for you.When someone asks the author about his series, he answers with, “There were far more surprises in this tale than I ever expected and it's not over yet! This volume and the next two contain hundreds of pages filled with rollicking good times, fast moving action and a page turning adventure you will not soon forget."Books In The Scythian Stone Saga:THE BLACKGLOOM BOUNTY Episode 1 - 500 pagesTHE REGENTS OF RHUM Episode 2 - 800 pagesTHE SCIONS OF SCOTIA Episode 3 - 800 pages
