《Senior Year》A Long Week
Advertisement
Since you got home late from the dance, your parents let you skip church to sleep in. You slept in until about 10:30am. Luckily, you didn't have any homework or studying to do, so you had the whole day to relax and do whatever you want. You sat up in your bed and you turned your phone off of airplane mode.
You got A LOT of notifications from Instagram and texts from the cast. Some of the cast commented on your post about Homecoming and that got reposted by several fan page accounts. You realized that ever since you joined the cast over the summer, you've gotten a lot of attention on the internet.
You texted each of them individually. You told them all about it. You were texting Dexter about how dancing to certain songs reminded you of dancing at that club. Right after you sent that text, Thomas texted you.
Thomas: Hi love. How was the dance? By the looks of it, I'm assuming that you had fun.
You: Oh, it was! It had to be the best Homecoming out of all of the high school years. But, dancing in heels wasn't too pleasant.
Thomas: I bet it wasn't. Less than a week until we all get together for the premiere. I can't wait to see you again. I've missed you so much ❤️
You: I can't wait either. I've missed you and everyone else 😘
Thomas: Hopefully the week will go by fast. I gotta go. My family is practicing for a band performance.
You: Have fun. Tell your family I said hi. Talk to you later. Love you ❤️🎵
Thomas: I will. Bye. Love you too 💖
After that conservation, you got out of bed to get something to eat. You saw your dad in the living room, watching the race. "Where's Mom?" you asked.

"She went to get groceries after church. She should be home soon." he said.
You went ahead and fixed lunch. You made a sandwich and apple slices with peanut butter. You put your food on a tray and went back into your room. You grabbed the remote and watched Netflix.
You heard a car pull into the garage. Your mom is home from getting groceries. She came into the house with loads of bags. You and your dad helped her unload everything and put it all away. For the rest of day, you lounged in your room until it was time to go to bed.
~~~~~~~~~~
It's Monday. Only four more days until you fly out to California for the premiere. You, Kendra, and Gwen met up as usual. Your phone vibrated in your pocket. You got a text from Wes.
He said: "Here it is. The trailer for the Scorch Trials." There was a video along with the text.
You gasped when you saw that. "What? What is it?" Gwen asked.
"It's from Wes. He sent me the trailer for the movie." you said.
Their faces lit up.
"Come on. Let's go find some place quiet to watch it." Kendra suggested.
The three of you went into the Science hallway. You tapped on the video and turned the volume all the way up. It's happening. The second movie of the Maze Runner series is about to unfold. The three of you were blown away by the trailer. It was really well done.
The rest of the week went by in a slow pace. You had a test or a quiz in one or two of your classes every day. You just have to hold on until Friday.
'Please hurry up!' you thought.

The Loyal Ones [Dark Biopunk Fantasy]
TLDR; A slave monster survives horror, war and servitude, while trying to live with himself. Thralls are a race of monstrous slave soldiers, in a universe where biological magic takes the place of technology. Centuries ago, their ancestors were desperate humans, who volunteered to be transformed for the Poison War. Today their unfortunate descendants are still soldiers and laborers. In contract law they are 'corporate wards'; slaves owned largely by arms dealers. Dally Harper starts this story as a champion cage fighter. He is one of the 'lucky' ones. It's all downhill from there. Content Warning: Explicit violence and gore, slavery, implied sexual assault. None of these are framed as positive or glorified, however they do have a strong impact on the plot and main characters.

Dungeon Core/Realm Heart
Dao Lord Brandr has cheated death many times over the millennia, enough to know that this time he should have died. There was just no surviving what had happened to him. Fortunately or unfortunately, he did. Well... that depends on what you call surviving really. His body is gone and so is pretty much all of his mighty cultivation base. To add to this, he has suffered severe damage to his soul and as if that wasn't bad enough he's lost, far away from any world he knows and maybe even his universe. Now, he's just learned from a being called a sprite that he's some sort of sentient mystic realm called a dungeon and that just for the crime of existing, there would be legions of enemies planning to pillage and destroy him. It's okay though. Apparently, he can make legions of his own. Seeing what he has to work with, Brandr decides that perhaps, all is not lost after all...

The Cyclical Nature of Time
A girl’s life ends unexpectedly early, or so it would seem. Instead of eternal nothingness, she wakes up in an empty valley with no clue how she got there. Taking her predicament in stride, she sets out to do something about it. Unfortunately for her, the first couple of people she meets aren’t much help. They claim they haven’t heard of electricity and dress as if they were on a break from their job at a Viking-themed amusement park. MC is a somewhat normal girl. She's pragmatic and not very angsty. The story is tagged with anti-hero, but to be clear, she is not a villain. She does good if she can, she just isn't morally motivated to do so. The story starts out smelling of fantasy but will eventually shift towards sci-fi. It contains some supernatural elements and has a strong lead, but it is not your usual power trip. Expect a story that takes its time, but not to the point where entire chapters are spent on mindless chit-chat. I’m not into that. This is my first serious attempt at writing and I've learnt a lot writing this. Unfortunately, that shows. Chapter 1-10 is slow and rather pointless. Things get better, but it is not until chapter 25 or so that I began understanding how to structure chapters and to make them support the larger story. I publish about 3000 words a week (every sunday) but I write about 10000 words a week. Sticking to that pace, which is easy, the last chapter will be out by July.
