《Encore, Alexandria!》An Early Christmas
Advertisement
Jones, Regina the calico, and Mr. Ellison were bright eyed and everything else when they greeted Marie back to her apartment. She was wearing the satchel she had left with and carrying the case for the typewriter. She had stored the bicycle in a specific bicycle storage area when she got in, electing to pay the measly sum of a rental space in exchange for having to carry the rusty old thing up eight flights of stairs.
Jones and Regina went for a more physical approach to their greeting, embracing Marie in the warm way that only friends can. Mr. Ellison opted for sitting on the couch, waving a casual hand and brandishing a casual smile. The first thing mentioned after a quick greeting was that there was a message on Marie’s answering machine from Mrs. Kyle of the Valhalla theater. It had been so long and so much had happened that it took a few moments for Marie to realize who they were talking about when Jones referred to Mrs. Kyle.
The message on the answering machine, which was left on the day that Marie left for what used to be Delaware, but Jones hadn’t the nerve to listen to without Marie there, stated that Marie’s opening at the Valhalla theater was a flop and offensive to anybody with ears. The message continued in telling her that Marie and her “silly friend” Jones would not be welcome to perform, but were more than welcome to patronize the theater’s business. The message ended with an abrupt wish for a good day and then a dial tone.
There was a great silence between the three for a moment. Marie seemed to be the least upset by the message, with Jones trying their best to not break down in a fit of anger and Mr. Ellison sitting in bitter contemptment.

“What’s in the case?” Jones asked, trying desperately to change the subject.
“I brought something for you, Jones.” Marie said. “Consider it a long overdue exchange for all of that sheet music.” She hoisted the case up onto her desk, making sure to move her cheap plastic keyboard onto the floor first, and motioned for Jones to pop it open. And then they did. If you were there, you could see the sparkles flaring within their eyes, like those of a young kitten about to gut a baby mouse. Within the typewriter was the paper that Marie had typed the one sentence on.
“For my book?” Jones asked.
“That spiral notebook is no instrument for someone of your talent.” Marie said. They exchanged another neighborly, warm embrace before Jones sat down at the desk and pulled out said spiral notebook, transcribing, starting at the beginning again.

Farmer Boy
Evel was just a farmer boy in a remote village. Where other boys left to go on adventures, he stayed with what remained of his family, toiling away at the field his father had left him with. One day, as he explored the woods, he was attacked by a wild goblin. Afraid and weak, he could only cower when a knight came to his rescue, saving him from his untimely death. Then, as he stared at the corpse of the goblin, he had an idea, and buried the goblin into the soil before planting some seeds over it. He thought the goblin would act as a good fertilizer! At least, according to that old book he read. To be fair, it was. But how was he supposed to realise that it would bear so much more? A slice-of-life story of a fantasy farmer boy growing towards the future, and all that happens along the way. -Updates roughly twice a week. New chapters every Tuesdays and Fridays-
8 76VOID EMPIRE: IMPERIAL MAGE
Eric Grayson was just a welder by day and fantasy junky by night. His free days were spent camping in the woods and reading. When he falls through a crack in the foundation of reality his life is going to get a lot more interesting. Making his way through the sea of chaos, he finds himself, with a little help from a Goddess, in a new universe, on a new planet. The exalted mage lords of the Empire have ruled for over two thousand years. Keeping the Empire safe from the tribes of beast kin and the void monsters that break into reality. A world on the edge of the great universal tree, a bastion against the ever-encroaching void. The realm of the dead and souls is far. The touch of the Gods and Goddesses is faint and growing weaker. This is a Litrpg / Gamelit where I am seeking to explore the idea where an Empire like Rome made it to the Edwardian/Victorian period. With all the decadence and kinky/bdsm stuff, Rome was known for, intact and evolved. Think pride and prejudice but the complete opposite of prudish. This story contains explicit scenes. This is not a collect slave women to bang story. This is not an endless struggle grind. The character is OP. The character is figuring out how to adapt his power to the world. Last, I will point out, glass is five hundred time sharper than steel and can be sharpened down to just a single atom in thickness. Please leave a review and rating as it helps me improve my writing. Feedback is always appreciated; I hope you enjoy. I am working on my grammar as well and hopefully it will improve, through editing. As It has never been a strong suit of mine. chapters Sat 7 pm... until the series is complete.
8 109Exitium (dropped)
Year 2232 World destruction is imminent. All nation leaders and renowned scientists gather at the UN for a secret meeting, called by a doctor, declaring to have a way to perpetuate humanity... but on another planet, a very hostile one. Planet Exitium, the closest habitable planet, filled with deadly fauna and flora. This is the story about the people sent there- children, to be honest. Children with no idea where they are, what had happened to them, and what would be of their life. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is my first story ever, and I hope you all like it, I'm sorry for the horrible piece of art that is the cover, I did it myself, and have absolutely no skills in photoshop, and I'll change it later. And yes, the MC's get some pretty OP skills and weapons.... At least until they find the enemy...
8 192Shade Hunter
Damien Sinclair, despite his bizarre name, was a relatively ordinary young man, fresh out of high school with few prospects in his life. Then, through a cosmic accident outside of everyone's control, he ends up on Xaunis, a world both familiar and foreign to his own in several ways, not the least of which being the fact that magic is real, he's seeing screens straight out of video games, and the very fundamentals of what he understands about reality is inherently wrong. But despite these challenges, Damien will meet them with a head held high and a smile on his face. After all... one does not cheat death and simply waste a second chance. Updates every Friday at 12:00pm MST
8 202Dismissing Darkness
Out amidst the stars, far past the point Earth appears as a pale blue dot, a human spacecraft plunges forth towards new and exciting worlds. The passengers know they are never going home, not after the lengthy journey ahead of, and to a lesser extent behind them. They while away their time frozen in body and plugged into a simulation in mind waiting for a new planet to explore and colonize. Still, space is a place large enough for a surprise or two as our protagonist, the underqualified Mike Jackson (no relation) is soon to find out. ~~~ I will be posting chapters here and on my wordpress blog-thing, hopefully within minutes of each other multiple times a week. Currently on hiatus. If I get back to writing this one, it will be after I tweak it to make it feel less like an empty world with too many extras in the background.
