"Up Louis! Up!" Ms. Hough yelled at me. "Kick your leg up!"
I kicked my leg up as far as I could and felt a sharp pain in my leg. So I tumbled to the ground.
"Oh my gosh Louis, are you okay?"my teacher asked rushing over to me.
"I'm fine." I said sitting up.
"Well how about you just rest for a little bit. I don't want you injured for your Juilliard audition this weekend."
"Alright." I nodded and then sat down by the mirrors.
"I'll be back in a few minutes. I need to talk to my brother about something." Ms. Hough spoke right before she left through the front doors of the studio.
So I sat there in my spot, back against the mirror, in silence, as I went over my routine in my head.
Just then the doors opened and in walked Harry.
"Harry?" I asked not getting up for fear that my leg would pull even more.
"Oh hi Louis." Harry said softly and walked over to me. "I was told my sister would be in here. So where is she?"
"I don't know." I said shaking my head. "This is Ms. Hough and I's practice room."
"For what?"
"My Juilliard audition."
"Oh." he nodded. "Why are you just sitting here then?" he asked pointing to me.
"I pulled something. So Ms. Hough made me sit down and take a break."
"Where is she?"
"Talking with her brother Mr. Hough."
He nodded and then asked, "Are you okay?"
"Yeah." I nodded with a small smile. "I'm fine."
"Well that's good." he said and paused for a little before speaking next. "I guess I should be going so I can find Gemma." he spoke and then turned to start walking out.

"Before you go, can I ask you something?"
"What?" He asked turning around.
"So-" I paused. "-my Juilliard audition is this weekend."
"Oh? That's this weekend? Well shit, I hope your leg gets better."
"It will." I nodded, but then continued. "I was wondering if you'd come?"
"But isn't it just a room with you and the judges alone?"
"No." I said shaking my head. "Anybody who wants to sit in the audience and watch can watch. It's in the auditorium."
"Oh, well I'd like to come then." he nodded. "Are you doing ballet like you wanted?"
"No." I said shaking my head. "I decided to listen to the team and do something different that will get me noticed."
"Then I know it's going to be amazing Louis." he smiled.
"Thank you." I smiled back. "And would you mind telling the rest of the team along with Coach Beast to come along and watch?"
"Sure thing. I'm sure they would love to come and cheer their teacher on."
"Great. Then I'll see you Saturday at 11:00."
"See ya there." Harry waved and then left me alone in my silence again... that is before Ms. Hough came back.
"Ready to take it from the top?"
"You bet." I nodded and got up.
"Let's go!"

The Traitor Games
Welcome to the Traitor Games, and congratulations on your invitation to join as one of the races putting on a show for the galaxy. Your species has been judged as too violent for integration into the Galactic Conglomerate and thus the decision has been made to relegate you to a probationary period during which members of your species will be pitted against each other in games of lies and betrayal. Unfortunate, but the great thing about a probationary period is that it can end! How can we do that; you might be asking. Well, that's easy, if those participants can earn enough points through playing the games, they can potentially buy out your probationary time. Of course, other rewards will also be on offer for success in the games, and if none of your species chooses to be selfless, well then it just goes to show that you wouldn't have been a good fit for us anyway. All those on Earth unlucky enough to not be chosen to become part of one of the most popular shows on Galactic Television, fear not. We will be streaming the various games your race is participating in all across the world. Should we run out of participants, even with our most generous three life system, we will draw more from the population. Good Luck! Noah Landry is one of these participants, he just doesn't know it yet. He blacks out while walking to the local bar McCaffery's, and finds himself, somewhere else. He's wearing clothing he doesn't remember putting on and rocking an absolute banger of a headache. Now he needs to figure out where he is, what's going on, and how he can get out of the Traitor Games. [Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

Saga of the Space Marines
HARVEST! BUILD! DESTROY! Total war until annihilation. This is the story of the end of the human race. If it sounds like fun it’s because it is. The Saga relates the events and personal histories of the men of the 3rd Marine Space Expeditionary Force and their bitter MAXWAR (mutually assured eXtinction war) against the alien Krag Subjugation. Told from the view point of the warfighters on the front lines, the blue collar workers who build and maintain the infrastructure that supports them, and the scientists and engineers who develop the technologies that power their victories on the battlefield. This mission, The Maggot Colony, relates the first part of the adventure, where their capital ship, The Good Shepherd, is critically damaged, and a small force is sent to establish an outpost on the surface of a nearby planet to secure much needed emergency supplies and fuel. The situation is desperate, the fighting is brutal and the technical challenges both in space and on the planet surface seem insurmountable. Fans who enjoy the intellectual challenges and intricate storylines from real-time-strategy games such as Starcraft II or the pure destructive awesomeness of first person shooters such as Doom, Halo and Gears of War are encouraged to check out the Space Marines. It’s not for everyone, but it might be just what you are looking for. Best of luck in choosing your next read, and if you don’t pick the Saga of the Space Marines today please consider us next time because reading great stories is time well spent.
