《The UnSlut Project》He knew I was going to dump him so he wanted to dump me first.

Mary 26, 1999
Today, I knew I was going to have to break up with Mark. I'm sorry, I know I'm pathetic, but I love Zach too much to go out with anyone else. I didn't know how to dump Mark - I really didn't want to hurt him. But everyone knew that Zach and I liked each other again, even Mark.
Right before lunch, Daniel came up to me and said, "I have to tell you something that you probably won't care about. Well, Mark doesn't want to go out with you anymore." I smiled, because really, this was good news. I wouldn't be hurting him by breaking up with him, because he had broken up with me. Of course, it was because he knew I was going to dump him so he wanted to dump me first. But whatever.
I went to lunch, and Scott came up to me and said, "Mark just called you a slut and a whore." [Not just a slut, and not just a whore. A slut and a whore.] That offended me, but not too much, because Mark was actually helping me out. He was turning around the situation by being mean to me. But I know it was because he was hurt.
Everyone was bombarding me with the question, "Are you going to go back out with Zach?" I just shrugged, not sure what to say. I knew I wanted to go out with him, but I am so paranoid - deep down inside, I was terrified that this was a joke he was playing on me. [Always a good sign.]
I was talking to Scott and I let it slip that I was going to say yes to Zach. He ran off to tell him and a few minutes later came back and said, "Okay, so you're going out with Zach." I smiled and nodded, feeling a satisfied sense of déjà vu. Had this not happened five times before?

But anyway, in math, Zach was like, "Are we going out?" and I nodded, and he was like, "Okay, then." But I was feeling really guilty about hurting Mark, so I decided to write him a note saying I was sorry. As I was writing it, I began to cry, thinking about how much Mark must be hurting. Zach leaned over as if to comfort me, but then stopped. He just looked at me, not knowing what to say.
I almost laughed. We'd been apart so long that he'd forgotten how to deal with me. I just smiled at him through my tears. I gave the note to Melanie, because she is on Mark's bus, and she could give it to him. She called me after school and told me, "I gave it to him. He read it and said, 'That dumb slut.' Then he crumpled it up in a ball." Hmm. I am not going to try to analyze Mark's behavior - I don't know him well enough.

Madness Led by the Hands
‘Great, no… splendid. It was for naught.’ ‘Naught? Depends. If your desire is to send an army of killers our family’s way, yes indeed. If it’s plain survival you seek, then no.’ ‘They don’t coexist?’ ‘What… don’t tell me you’re still all groggy from the fall. Perhaps in novels, but real life is much tougher–––many more times a drag than anyone can possibly imagine. If dusty history is not a reliable teacher for you, then the pandemic surely took that place. At least that one has the advantage you needn’t be literate to savvy how reality always trumps imagination.’ ‘Whatever you say, whatever you say. So… what now?’ ‘Now? Isn’t it obvious? Now we shall survive. And live a good life.’ ‘Ohh… pretty much everything here has something against this little weird wish of ours. Might you consider?’ ‘Then pretty much everything here is a goner.’ ‘Hm, I don’t like the sound of that. Too much trouble, you see. I’d prefer laying low somewhere safe.’ ‘…nobody told you it’s mutually exclusive, no–––or did you forget about that too?’ ‘Fine, then I wish my future enemies all the best.’ ‘They are undeserving of your pity.’ ‘Of course not. That unlucky bunch won’t ever comprehend the reason behind their demise. Just let me smoke in peace and offer my condolence in advance.’ ‘Idem, let me study alchemy, unobstructed by all, if possible. This also includes you. By the way, are you sure you smoke to offer condolences? It seems like an excuse to me.’ ‘I-it is none. Plain truth, you see?’ ‘Seriously, why did I even ask...?’

Sorcerer, level 1
Alcar's life sucks. His days in the poor quarter of the city of Katresburg are long and tough, his parents treat him like garbage, and he doesn’t have a silver moon to his name. But Alcar knows that there is an exciting world of adventure out there. And when he sees a half-orc master sorcerer walking through his neighborhood, he decides to grab his chance. He approaches Master Maluhk to offer his services as an apprentice. And to his shock, the sorcerer agrees to let him come and try his luck along with several other applicants. Soon though, it is all too clear that Alcar, clumsy and lazy as he is, lacks any natural magical talent. It also becomes apparent that Master Maluhk is only interested in ’apprentices’ in order to get someone to do his laundry and tidy up his books. At best, Alcar and the others have signed up to do unpaid labor. Things go from bad to worse when his fellow applicants for the role of apprentice prove to be reckless in the extreme, and as Master Maluhk’s tower catches fire, Alcar soon finds himself being blamed for their misdemeanors. Can Alcar clear his name, gain another chance, and learn enough to show that he has the potential to be a proper sorcerer’s apprentice? [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
