the other three came down.
"Boys, June.. I am taking Rosalita and June's mom to the supermarket, I will be back in like half an hour. Mikey I want you kept inside, brand if he comes down in asthma, I don't want him out in the rain."
Chunk was hiding the statue from Rosalita. I looked at him with a grin then back at Mikey... Who looked absolutely adorable in his moms scarf.. aw- wait no.. be quiet.
"He should be put in a plastic bubble." Brand said. Mrs Walsh smacked Brandon's arms "I'm serious Brandon..that's not funny, if he takes one step outside you are in deep.. the absolutely the deepest... Uh-"
"Shit ma" Brand finishes her sentence "I don't like that language, but that's exactly what you're gonna be in." Mrs Walsh said,
"and you.. dotta"
"Data"
"Data... use the back door from now on okay?" Irene asks Data "okay"
"What is that??" Irene looked at me. Mouth and Chunk. "Oh shit what?" Chunk asked with a bit of fear in his voice "What is that??!" She asked pointing to the mess that chunk made on the coffee table.
"I want that cleaned up"
"Oh, sure right away Mrs Walsh" I smiled "Yeah sure!!" Chunk laughed nervously.
"One hour.. bye baby" Mrs Walsh kissed Mikey on the cheek, he wiped it off with a disgusted face.
"Bye Mrs Walsh" Mouth waved "Bye!!" I yelled, "adiós señora bonita" Mouth called out. "pobre de mí" Rosalita said,
I chuckled "she doesn't like you Mouth" I teased. "Oh she loves me" Mouth said, I laughed.
"You want a breathing problem, you got one" Brand grabs Mikey and put him in a headlock. "Hey guys.. what's your dad gonna do with all the stuff that's in the attic?" Mouth asked, Brand let go of Mikey. "He's gonna give it back to the museum.. or whoever they pick to be the new assistant curly... wait, Uh keney, no-"

"Curator" Brand shoves Mikey a bit.
"That's what I said."
"Wait a minute guys.. maybe there's something up there for us! Maybe there's something up there that we can keep from the outsiders, maybe there's some rich stuff" Mouth jumps up and down in excitement, "Rich stuff!" Data goes along
"no. no. no"
They all raced upstairs, "You guys listen to me damnit, that's his stuff!" Mikey chases them. I didn't really feel like going upstairs. But you know the boys.. they'll just come down and pull me to come up there.
I had to basically drag myself to go upstairs.

"hey Mikey this is great, we only have old hanukkah decorations in our attic" Chunk was wearing an outfit that he found. "Get out of that Chunk" I said, "oh come o-"
a sound of thunder made me jump towards Mikey,
I kinda pushed him, and he almost fell down, but I grabbed his hand and pulled him.
he pulled out his inhaler and inhaled.
"Okay guys.. you saw it now let's get out of here" Mikey said.
When I touched his hand.. it felt so, I don't know.. it felt nice and warm.
"ha! Got you right where I wanted you" Chunk said. But brand held the stick to his chest not letting him go "Oh come on guys, it's dusty in here and my fevers acting up and you always break stuff and-"
"Mikey!!"
"What?!" Mikey turned around, "Mikey.. come over here and make me feel like a woman, come and give me a nice wet lickery kiss.. mmm" Mouth stuck his tongue out from the painting, I saw Miley's face go red, He was embarrassed.
"got you!" Mikey pulled away the painting and Mouth was standing there with his tongue out "now get out of there, you're ruining the painting" Mikey said, "and you're ruining my joke! I was pretending to be Andi!" Mouth said "shut up about Andi alright? she's a beautiful girl and she doesn't talk like that!" Mikey defended Andi..
wow.. that actually kinda hurt.

8 138Death's Embrace
The World is Such a Rotten Place. It isn't a safe utopia where everyone can be happy. It isn't a place where True Peace can ever be attained. However the niave will tell you otherwise. They'll mention their hope. They'll mention their dreams. They'll scream to the world that they believe in the 'Good' in people. That no one is born naturally 'Evil', and that everyone can be saved. If the world is such a place, if there is a possibility that everything can change for the better, then why haven't we changed it? "Why is it that people lie?" For Satisifaction "Why is it that people cheat?' For Greed "Why is that people Kill?" For Supremacy If the world is truly such a rotten place, then am I expected to turn the other cheek? To walk away? Give second chances? Sacrifice myself for others? Why? All to be called a 'Good' person from the shallow masses, only to be backstabbed and betrayed by the very ones that praised me? Faith in humanity, is something fools preach, and only the niave practice. The World is Such a Rotten Place...and I love it. I will Lie. I will Cheat. I will Kill. Why? For Power Follow our protagonist as he journey through his old world, yet changed, with one goal in mind. To become the srongest and rule. Reborn into a world where only the strong can strive, he will do any and everything to reach the peak. There isn't a question of whether he'll survive or win, it's a question of will he be alone at the top? And if not, how many died to get him there?
8 204Cosmic Plague
In this world, everyone is cursed with a single fate: Become the most powerful. But those who do become powerful, they hate it. Power is misery and death is the solace. လလလ Nazar, a weapon of mass destruction created by the ancient God of Destruction revolted against his creator a long time ago. While he did defeat his creator, the power he was given is still within him. He is cursed with infinite power, standing at the top of the celestial hierarchy. He has more power and wealth than he needs. But even then, he craves one thing; death. He wants to die. Power is misery and death is the solace, but he cannot achieve his only goal. He cannot die. Perhaps that will change when one day, an ancient cosmic Goddess rises from her grave? Perhaps she will finally kill him? Or will she fall short before his awesome yet terrible power? Only time will tell. This is a high cosmic story about the hypocritical life of the protagonist and how it affects everyone (and everything) around him. Naturally, it features very overpowered characters with a lot of high stakes battles roaming across the cosmos. Warning: Swearing, some suggestive sexual gestures/words, gore. Feedback is highly welcomed. (The story was originally named, God's Return, but I wanted to change it.)
8 144Voices at Sunset
Sartore is a young boy in a village, quiet and shy. He seems left out, both by the village's celebrations and whatever friends he thinks he has. Amidst one of those traditions, something snags Sartore's eyes and ears: an inaudible whisper in the back of his head. He follows where it seems to lead him, to a lake behind his house, to watch the sunset. Behind him, all the villagers freeze halt their revelry upon the approach of an army.

8 132After the End: Serenity
We all want to believe we are heroes of our own story - unless we want to be the villain, of course. At the end of everything, the Final Reaper decided he hadn’t been a hero. Driven by a desire to right the wrongs he was subjected to, he killed everyone who wronged him or his people - which turned out to be everyone that wasn’t killed by someone else first. He'd won - but it was a hollow victory. Eventually, Order’s Voice found a way out. If the only existing being would agree to give up most of his power, the Voice could reset the multiverse to an earlier time with a few minor changes. Of course, the Voice couldn't ask it that way. It could only ask if the Final Reaper was willing to start over from when Earth was first brought into Order. It was an easy decision, and yet it wasn’t. Was he willing to go through eons of pain again to not be alone? Yes. In a heartbeat. Not that his heart beat anymore. Now it would. Perhaps he could even be a hero, this time. When he landed in his old body - more or less - on Earth, the Final Reaper once again became Thomas. He was both and neither. He needed a new name for a new life. Serenity. ------------------------------------------ While this is technically a System Apocalypse story, it's a System Apocalypse that is designed to have a large percentage of the population survive and prosper. There are a lot of problems that come with the appearance of the Voice, and it's entirely possible to lose. Earth has some special opportunities, but also special challenges. The first time around, Earth won the first round and lost the second. Serenity has ten years from when the Voice arrives to prevent that from happening. It will be a group effort; Serenity can't win alone - which is difficult for someone who's been alone for as long as he has. Of course, that's only his second priority. ------------------------------------------- Updates Daily A note on the nonhuman lead tag: He isn't human, and hasn't been human for a very, very long time (or maybe not long at all, depending on how you count it). He still thinks of himself as human, either way. The content warnings are mostly to give me room to write; this fiction is not intended to be edgy, but once in a while a character will swear or someone will get seriously injured. The cover image is a Chandra/Hubble composite image of VV 340 / Arp 302 / UGC 9618. While we're not going to space itself any time soon in the story, people from elsewhere are coming to Earth and Serenity will visit other planets. Plus, I like space imagery.
