// A pair of frozen hands to hold,
Oh she's so southern so she feels the cold //
7 p.m.
There was another party bound to happen and it starts in a few minutes. I grab a red solo cup filled with spiked punch and head outside.
I wasn’t up for the loud music tonight, I pull out a cigarette and keep it between my teeth; unlit.
“It’s a metaphor.” I laugh to myself referring to Augustus Waters’ words.
I rubbed my palms together as I felt the cold air rushing up to me, remembering a pair of frozen hands to hold. Lacey’s.
My thoughts had slowly drifted off to the name that repeatedly crossed my mind.
Lacey. I hadn’t really given a damn about her, well until last night. All I knew was that she was the girl my brother hooked up with a month ago. Is she feeling the cold night like I am? Oh wait she's so southern so she feels the cold. I chuckle. She’s been running through my mind after the whole fiasco last night.
“Hey.” Speaking of the devil.
“Hey.” I greet her back. She pulls the stick out of my mouth.
I was about to protest but she stops me, “uh oh, you shouldn’t waste a perfectly good joint.”
I chuckle at her remark, "Got that lighter of yours? I think I'm starting to have a special liking for it."
She smirks, "Of course, don’t forget to smile when you give It back eh?"
Yea, she’s just a girl, with a very special lighter.
// okay this is an author's note: the lighter is the one on the 1st chapter, the pink one, check on the multimedia to see it. yea

A Fragmented Mind
"Hi there. My name is Richard Maddox, but my — admittedly nonexistent — friends call me Rick. I live in a world of superheroes and villains. A world filled with magic and physics-defying powers, and in this world, I'm just an ordinary, completely average 17-year-old boy. My imaginary friends, however, are as far from average as you get. You think you're good at deluding yourself? Well, stand back, because it's time for a master to show you his craft. Welcome to my life, the life of a madman." This story was originally inspired by the 'Legion' novella series written by Brandon Sanderson. If you've read those books and liked them, it might be worth giving this a read. The same goes if you haven't read them either, I guess. (Currently re-writing earlier chapters)

Long Shadow
No destiny, no choice, no hope. Our protagonist, a coward summoned to a world meant for heroes; a new world with new rules and old cruelties. Join him on his adventures as he must deal with menus, monsters, and mysteries in this litrpg fantasy. Thomas Goodwill was an average boy with an average life, all that changed when he woke up in a new reality. Now, out of his depth, damn near out of his mind, he must learn to survive in a game-like reality with no reloads, checkpoints, or save scumming. He does, however, have a drunk snake. Thank you for reading my first story, hopefully, the first of many to come. This will be my main story and is meant to help me practice and hone my skills as I slowly produce more complex ideas. It's a litrpg in which I want to only lightly focus on the mechanics as I don’t want to pad out the word count with math and number tables and while I want to add a few of my own twists here and there, overall I’m going to keep this story close to generic as possible so that I don't let my inexperience lead me into a corner. Thanks again to all willing to leave a review or some constructive criticism, without you I'd never improve. Unfortunately, Cover art is by me.
