I stopped what I was doing and looked at her. "What?" I asked shocked. I couldn't believe she asked that. I looked at Harrison and he was shocked too. "Do you two wish I wasn't your sister?" She asked again. "Of course not! We love you! Why do you think that?" Harrison asked. Charlotte looked at the floor. "I should of known not to listen to her". She began to cry. I crawled next to her and hugged her. "Lottie, we love you! It broke our hearts when we left you in Australia but we couldn't stay there. When you came here, we were excited. We could get to spend more time together, but then things went pair shape" I said sadly. "But, even though it has taken nearly 2 years, we are going to spend more time together regularly" I smiled kissing her on her head. I looked at Harrison. He had a face like thunder. "Haz, are you okay?" I asked. "Lottie, when you said you shouldn't of listened to her, do you mean Mum?" He asked. Charlotte nodded and began to cry harder. I pulled her closer. Tears were pouring from my eyes too. I looked at Harrison. How could Mum do that?
Tom's POV:
"You three are staying for tea arnt you?" I asked. We were back home and Elodie had us all on the trampoline. "Of course" I replied. "Well, guess we are staying then" Laura laughed while holding Elodie's hand bouncing up and down. "Yay!" Elodie smiled happily.
Your POV:
"Haz, what are we going to do?" I asked him while pushing Freddie back up the beach. Harrison had walked off and Charlotte and I began to follow him. "HARRISON WILL YOU STOP AND JUST TALK TO US!" Charlotte shouted. Harrison finally stopped and finally turned around. "I can't believe we have left you with her for all these years. I should of noticed she always wanted her own way when y/n was pregnant with Elodie but I just pushed it aside. Y/n I'm so sorry for everything and Charlotte, you are not going to be staying there anymore" he went. "You're coming to live with me" I blurted out. Charlotte looked at me with tears in her eyes. "I've been there Lottie and I'm not letting you go through it either. Not anymore". I walked off the beach and started walking to the car. Now it was my time to get angry.

"So what are we going to do?" Charlotte asked. "We are going back to Mum and Dad's and you are going to pack a suitcase" I said while stroking Freddie's head. He was awake and as calm as ever. I was starting to tear up. I couldn't imagine treating Elodie or Freddie the way Mum has treated all of us. How could she do this?
"Can we stop at my house first? I don't Freddie to be part of this" I said. "Of course" Harrison said as he turned the corner to my house. He parked outside and I unbuckled Freddie and took him inside.
Tom's POV:
We were still outside when y/n came rushing in. "Hello darling. Are you okay?" I asked her getting of the trampoline. As I got closer I saw she had been crying. "Darling, what's wrong?" I asked concerned. "Take Freddie" she said passing the car seat to me. "Y/n" I said again. "Mum" She said and that's all I needed to know. She turned around and rushed back out the door. Freddie started crying so I took him out and started cradling him. He began to calm down.
Your POV:
I got out of the car at our parents and we all walked inside. "How was your d..." Mum began but Harrison cut her off. "Shut up! Charlotte go and get your stuff" he said. "What" Mum asked confused. "When we were at the beach, Charlotte asked us if we wished she wasn't our sister. Now what the hell have you said to her?" I demanded. "I told her that you two wouldn't want to know her" she said sheepishly. "WHY WOULD YOU TELL HER THAT? SHE IS OUR SISTER AND WE LOVE HER TO BITS!" I shouted with tears falling down my cheeks. "I'm sorry" Mum said beginning to cry. Charlotte came down with her things. "And you can stop crying because you have just lost all of your children for good" Harrison said taking Charlotte's bags and walking out the door. "Come on Lottie. Let's go" I said walking out the door too. "I love all of you" She bawled. "Well you have never showed it" Charlotte snarled. She shut the door behind her and we walked to the car. Dad was speaking to Harrison when we approached. "I'll talk to her. I'm so sorry guys" he cried. "Dad, it isn't your fault. We love you and you are always welcome around ours. But don't bring her" I said looking back at the door. Mum was on her way out. We all piled into the car quickly and made our way back to my house.

"Will Tom mind?" Charlotte asked. "Of course not. He loves you too" I responded. We walked in the house and everyone was in the living room. "Auntie Lottie!" Elodie beamed when we walked in. Charlotte picked her up and began to cry a little. Harrison came in behind us with Charlottes bags. Tom looked and he knew what was going on. "First room on the right Lottie and make yourself at home" he said standing up and hugging her. "Thank you Tom" she said.

8 160A World Forgotten
***This story will contain lite-litrpg elements, mainly character pages and a town page. There will also be settlement building and adventuring, missteps and achievements. But one thing it definitely won’t have is a harem. Nor will it have an overpowered MC. Contains mild cursing.*** ***feel free to critique my writing and offer input. This is my first venture into writing. I've always enjoyed litrpg/gamelit books. I feel like I write how I talk, so it may be a little different. You won't hurt my feelings if you see something wrong or out of place! *** ***What follows is a condensed part of chapter 1. Enjoy!*** Drew Cooper is thrust into a new, unfamiliar world. Waking up in his sweats and t-shirt near what seems to be a forgotten path through some woods, he struggles coming to terms that he's no longer in his apartment. As he tries to cope with his new reality, he hears a horse coming down the path. He hides behind a nearby tree dreading what may happen next. As the horse approaches, he sees a man walking next to it. The horse is burdened with packs and gear. When the man nears, Drew nearly panics. He has a large sword strapped to his waist, obviously a fighter. He continues to hide as the man slowly passes only for the man to stop a dozen meters past his hiding spot. "You may as well come out, ya know. You weren't as well hidden as you thought," the man stated matter-of-factly, letting the horse’s reins go and putting his hand on the hilt of his sword. Slowly and scared for his life, Drew raised up and walked from behind the tree. "I-I'm sorry. I wasn't planning on attacking you. I-I don't know where I am. I heard your horse and hid. I didn't know what you'd do if you saw me. I'm sorry," he nervously blurted out. A minute passed. Then two. The man seemed interested with Drew and stepped closer, eyes squinting as if trying to see something. "What's that on your shirt? Is that. What is that? Is that, Pac-man?" The man was visibly shaken while pointing at me. Looking down at his t-shirt nervously, "Yea. Yea. I woke up here a few hours ago I think. 3 maybe 4 hours. I’ve just been sitting here. Where am I? What's going on?" Drew asked. "That's not important right now," the man replied. " What's important is where you're from. What year is it?" "What year? April something 2020. Why? What's going on?" Drew continued now worried. The man was taken aback. After a few moments, he seemed to calm himself some. The man sighed and looked at Drew in earnest. "Well, I've got good news and bad news for ya. Bad news is you're not on Earth anymore. Good news is you happened to run into me and not someone else. You’re either really lucky, or it’s fate we met in these woods, and I don’t believe in luck." The man continued to walk towards Drew while talking and put out his hand. "I'm John Mitchell from St. Louis or thereabouts. You’ve got nothing to be scared of by me. Walk with me and let’s talk."
8 94A World With or Without Aliens
Nothing matters. It's not my opinion, it's a scientific fact. This is neither good nor bad, it just... is. I watched my entire country burn, fried on a patriotic pan after some jerk fired a bunch of nukes at the docile fleet of alien ships hovering over us. Who gave this moron such power? I don't know. Everyone involved is most likely dead by now. As for me, I can't die. I feel pain like a normal person would (I think), but no matter how terrible the conditions, I will never die or pass out. Fortunately, a lot of alien technology survived its crash to Earth, so I get to spend some time playing with it until Mr. Author gets bored and decides to screw up my life. Beware, this has a "harem" tag. If you haven't figured it out yet, I'm the main character and am therefore subject to this novel's timeline. While this bars me from the sweet ignorance of Chapter 1's me, it does have other perks... for example, I can tell you that heroine number one is personally responsible for kil-!? H-hey, back off! I'm your character, so if you didn't want me to be like this, then you should've written me differently! Randomguy here! In all seriousness, this novel is meant to explore the concept of nihilism as a post-apocalyptic/supernatural-scifi/satire told from a nihilistic introvert's first-person perspective. As you heard from my unsettled main character, each heroine is going to be a different type of horrifying socio/psychopath with dark motives and dangerous abilities (most of which are psychological). Why would I do something like this? Because I am, in reality, a nihilist who is often frustrated by weird things, like unrealistically dramatic stories, the industrialization of art (specifically music), and people who think swimming in brown creekwater for five hours is a "fun" activity. Don't get me wrong, neither me nor my character are depressed, we're just malcontents who make a lot of nerd references. I feel like the true essence of an "everything is worthless" perspective is lost on most pop-culture figures. The closest character I can think of at the moment is Rick from Rick and Morty, who is a drunk, angry nihilist that experienced tremendous loss. I, personally, find this belligerent state of mind to be very relatable, and have incorperated it into every chapter's introduction. Here, the main character talks directly to the reader (and me), shamelessly complaining about some semi-relevant facet of society, which probably doesn't make much sense... it's not really supposed to, though. These "angry nihilist" moments are just a peak into the main character's everyday existence, and also act as miniature rage-journals for me. It will sometimes take a subjectively 'positive' turn, but not very often. This is because reality isn't good or bad, "it just... is". I will eventually bring it full-circle to optimistic nihilism, since that seems to be a more practical way to live (and by "practical", I mean "doesn't create mental health issues"). It is, of course, a satire. I did this because most unnecessarily emotional moments or people usually make me feel kind of awkward, so I decided to mock them. That is, I plan to mock the characteristics about them I don't like in characters based solely off said characteristics. Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy my story!
