" Waaaaaah! , it is a wooden house!! " Shina says this while looking amazed by the wooden house, while Chisaki starts to looking around, and checking thing one by one and say " my, my this place hasn't changed at all since i leave this island" after a while Chisaki seems to have a little nostalgia about this house
Old man, talk to Soseki that just finishes unload their luggage and say "kiddo! , my house is near that corner, if you're need anything feel free to come by" and start to drive away to his home, some of the smoke from tractor hit Soseki face.

Soseki... feeling his grandfather glared at him, starts to take their luggage inside, Shina still playing around outside of the house, while his grandfather go from the front door, and start going to the garden
After Soseki put his foot inside the house *kreeet* a sound like that resounding, in his mind he's thinking (...is this house really safe!?) and starts put their luggage in, each time he walks another *kreeet* sound can be heard
"Mom... where should i put it?" Soseki asking this to his mom, not knowing where he should put their luggage, his moms answer with "you can put mine and Shina on the second floor, as for you, there's a small house on the left side, you can put your things in there"
listening to his mother word, Soseki starts to move his mother and sister luggage to the second floor... on his way, he can see a growth height mark on the wall, a picture of his mom when she's young, and some tool that he never saw before, after he finishes put their luggage, he starts moving his to the small house
Soseki, sees the small house and mutters to himself "...this is a warehouse right?" he tries to open the door, but it stuck, after using a little force the door finally opened, the warehouse only has 3x2m, inside there's already a futon A/N (Japanese bed), wooden table near the window, a small table on the middle, a wardrobe near wall and a yellow lamp hanging around the top of this warehouse

He starts to unpack his things, most of the thing he brings only clothes and books, while he organized the books, he found one book that he never read or buy before, he takes the book, sees the cover and mutter "this...is the book that shows in my dream", he opens it, but there's no single letter inside it, not even a scribble.
Soseki sigh, thinking this book is only a notebook that he buys, and forget about it. He continues to organize his thing, after a while he realizes that all of this stuff inside is new, even the warehouse itself doesn't have any dust, and then the door knock can be heard
*dug* *dug* "nii-san~ the tea is ready" Shina calls out to him, Soseki hears this, start to think that living in this warehouse, communication will be unpractical and starts to think about how he should solve this problem, but he doesn't have enough knowledge to solve this problem.
Following Shina to the living room, they have a tea time, Shina already adapting to her new environment, and both of her grandparents really pamper her. On the other hand, while grandma acting casual around Soseki, he can feel that his grandpa always glared at him
Grandma, notices this and say "on my dear, are you still mad about the warehouse being used as his living place?" , grandpa in panic denied grandma word "nonsense! who's mad about that!" Soseki hearing this smile wryly and think (so, that's why he glared at me) after this incident, he feels that his understanding rose up
"Oh, yes, i almost forgot, Soseki-kun, we already prepare for your enrollment at the local high school, be nice and make a 100 friends in there, okay?" grandma treats Soseki like he's a kid that just start his first day at elementary
She stands up, walks a little bit and gives Soseki his new school uniform, before Soseki able to say his gratitude, his mother already say "sorry for the troubles mom"
While Chisaki helps her mother making a dish, Soseki help Shina unpacks and organized things in her room, unknowingly, the sky already dark, they have dinner and talks a little bit, after dinner, Shina already asleep, and Chisaki excuse themselves to put Shina to bed, not long after this, Soseki grandparent also excuse themselves and went to bed
Soseki being left alone start walks to the warehouse, prepare his bed and starts to sleep.
Once again.. he suddenly wakes up in a hammock, everything is blue, the only difference is the hammock is nearer to the Gazebo, from his place, he can see Igor, Christina, Hans... he hears some noises, turns to his right, and sees a red-haired girl in a wheelchair

Touch
Touch is a story about a boy named James, and his friends: a group of young, superpowered people brought together by trauma; all trying, in their own ways, to come to terms with what that trauma means to them and who they want to be in response to it. This is a learning process, and mistakes are made, but they grow, learn, and adapt to these difficulties in ways that some might say only young people can. While it may look it at first, this is not intended as a sad story, merely an honest one. I wanted to make the characters human, and unfortunately, that means that difficulties hit them in very real ways through the story, but then again, they have some equally human moments of warmth between one another as they grow. Triggers: Explores the aftereffects and recovery process of sexual abuse, and some other forms of physical abuse. I like to think I avoided making it edgy, but you deserve to be informed. Some readers have told me that it can feel a bit too real at times. A bit too honest. If you like what you read, feel free to comment or review. I like the feedback. Or you can vote for Touch on TopWebFiction. Touch also now has both a Discord and a Patreon! Updates weekly.

The Girl from the Mountain
Alexandra Bedford is a weapon, a young woman with telekinetic powers capable of leveling entire cities, born to fight in the desolate remains of post-apocalyptic North America. There is only one problem: she may be losing control of her abilities. Sixteen years after a global pandemic devastated the earth’s population, the lines in the old United States have been drawn between the Cheyenne Directorate in Colorado and the New England Alliance on the East Coast. The Directorate, of which Alexandra is a part, is a small but powerful organization dedicated to returning the country to its former glory. However, when a diplomatic mission to the New England Alliance goes wrong, Alexandra finds herself at the center of a bloody civil war. Battles are fought on the old highways and in dilapidated towns and once-great cities. And as the conflict escalates, all of North America faces the threat of being burnt away by nuclear fire. Against this backdrop of war, Alexandra tries to uncover the long-hidden secrets behind the plague, her abilities, and the two men fighting to decide the fate of the United States - Henry Bedford, Alexandra's father and leader of the Directorate, and John Martin, the mysterious figure at the heart of the New England Alliance who may hold the key to everything she seeks. None of this will matter, however, unless Alexandra can prevent the power growing inside her from taking over and consuming the very world she is fighting to save. Author's Notes: I appreciate you taking a look at my novel, The Girl from the Mountain. If you're a fan of post-apocalyptic fiction, military thrillers, and/or cosmic horror, I think you'll enjoy this story. I completed the novel's first draft back in 2011 and made significant changes in 2016. Since then, I've more-or-less sat on the manuscript while working on other projects. Thanks to a bit of prodding, I've decided to send this story out into the wild with some touch-ups and additional revisions. I welcome any comments or criticisms, and I hope you enjoy The Girl from the Mountain!

Falling
It is often unclear when a thing comes to an end, the world itself no exception. In the event of the world ending, it was both abrupt and unnoticed, something down right confusing to most involved. Due to this confusion, we will quickly cover the short window of events that led to the destruction of the generally known universe, following the primary instigators to hopefully give the whole thing a little much needed context. ... Author’s Note: I intend to release regularly, hopefully weakly, within the planned three arcs. However, it may go on hiatus between arcs, but it should be clear that an arc has ended. Regardless, I currently plan to go on hiatus after the third arc, which is intended to be a natural breaking point. This is with the hope of not dropping off in the middle of narrative, and I am mentioning it now so no one is surprised if there are planned pauses. Content Warnings: I do not plan to include anything I would see as profanity, gore or traumatizing content. However, I do expect my bar for what qualifies is both above some people’s and below others. Therefore, I am including the Content Warnings so people are not surprised when my view is different. If you find something you do not like, I wish you luck in moving on without it farther concerning you. If I was not as extreme as you were hoping, I apologize for not meeting expectations. I have not marked sexual content, since I do not intend to include explicit sexual acts. However, sex and sexuality still exists and may come up as both an offscreen event or subject. Cover Art: The art work is by me, and I will take it down immediately at request from the artist.
