"Luke said you guys aren't too great at the moment" Mia said.
"We're just arguing over our after school plans"
"What like college and shit?"
"Yeah"
"Well what's the problem?"
"Luke wants to go to university in Brisbane and I want to stay here"
"Fuck"
"Indeed"
"You guys'll be fine, you just need to talk about it"
"Every time we do, we argue more"
"The school sent all of our applications off. He could know where he's going within a couple of weeks"
"Seriously?" She nodded. "He's going to have his life planned out and I haven't even started"
"You'll find something. And something will work out with you and Luke"
"I hope so"

"Maddie? Is that you?"
"No, mum, it's a burglar"
"I don't like that tone"
"Mum" I whined.
"How was your day?"
"OK I guess"
"How's Luke?"
"Good I think. I didn't really see him today"
"Did something happen with you guys?"
"We were discussing our plans for when school finishes and he said he wants to go to Brisbane university and I want to do an internship in Sydney"
"Oh, that's an issue" I nodded."It's nothing you guys won't figure out though"
"I know. It's just a lot to comprehend, especially with Luke going on about how amazing Brisbane is constantly"
"He's just excited. Can't you move to Brisbane with him?"
"I don't want to live in Brisbane. Friends and family are everything to me and just packing up and moving to Brisbane means leaving all of that behind"
"Look at internships in Brisbane, they might be amazing. Go get your laptop and I'll help you"
"Thanks" I ran upstairs and grabbed my laptop before going into the living room and sitting by my mum on the sofa. We started looking at several different options.

"Mads, there's nothing in Brisbane for you"
"Luke'll be in Brisbane"
"But the rest of your life won't be. Look at all your options in Sydney" She was right. There were so many internships in Sydney compared to about 8 in Brisbane that didn't offer anything and were all unpaid. "You know Marie?"
"Yeah?"
"She mentioned something about a journalism job at some teen magazine"
"Like a proper job?"
"I think so. She said they'd trial you for a couple of weeks then see how it goes. See what stories you're best at"
"Why didn't you tell me sooner?"
"I forgot she even mentioned it"
"Tell her I'm interested" She nodded.
"I'll call her tomorrow"

The Wolf Saga, Wolf that Devours Empires
The Empire of Human is about to enter a turbulent era. A World Power has fallen. But mere hours after dying, he is reborn as a half-human, half-elf boy named Wolf. The story follows this odd boy as he grows up, his relationship with his father and those around him, his lack of common sense from being raised in the wilderness, and his desire for revenge. Witness Wolf's journey as he aspires to climb to the peak of the world to unravel its mysteries, and as he tries to figure out why it’s wrong to decapitate a street thug when the man tries to mug you. “I mean, the man literally said ‘Money or life,’ so what’s the big deal?” Releases Mon/Wen/Fri. (GMT-ish) Trigger warning. The Wolf Saga may not be suited for you if any of the following disturbs you: - The story will have fighting and killing. The gore will not be explicit, but there will be descriptions such as "head burst like a melon", "instantly turned to cinders", "blood splashed/fountained" etc. Most of the violence will be performed by the protagonist, some of it before he reaches his teens. If such scenes bother you, you should probably give Wolf a pass. - The story will have sexual content. It's there for a reason. Once again, these scenes will not be explicit. Genitals will be mentioned sometimes, but never described in detail. Nude bodies will be described in passing, without too many specific details. If you're afraid of nipples, you should probably give Wolf a pass. - The story will have a decent amount of cursing. If you haven't given up by now, this is unlikely to bother you. Still, I believe I should forewarn you that a number of curse words will be making appearance from time to time. - The story will have no small amount of loss for the main character. If you enjoy novels in which everything is fine, the protagonist makes it at the last moment and saves the day... This is not such a story. Life happens. As a reader, I'm annoyed with heroes making it in the nick of time, so for the sake of fairness I used dice on a number of occasions, making do with the result. Sometimes it was anticlimactic, sometimes it was tragic and it led to the story you see before you. Dedication: This story is written for Tired Mom and Wolf, whose arrival the rest of the pack is eagerly awaiting. Thanks: I would like to thank Tired Mom for her proofreading and encouragement over the years. I would like to thank you, Dear Reader, for taking the time to read this big pile of words.

The Djinn's Price
Albek Shokarov, a teenager struggling to survive in a post-apocalyptic world, unwillingly enters into a contract with an entity he calls the Voice. Something changes inside him on that day, and he soon discovers that he wields a power that gives him a leg-up on the competition—though it comes at a price. Albek soon learns that the Voice isn’t the only being with an interest in him. He will soon question everything that he thought he knew about himself and his family as he is drawn deeper and deeper into a web of deceit and evil intentions. We all have a breaking point. Some may be pushed more than others, but everyone has a limit. These are the threads binding us to our identity that, once pulled taut, can't go any further without snapping. When every last thread is cut and we are left to face ourselves in a mirror, will we even recognize the person standing there? This is a tale of loss, of the powerless achieving power, of gods and men, and of the hatred and ambition that propels the founding of a legend. This is a tale of revenge. Either Albek will break his chains, or they'll break him. Updating intermittently.
