hi i'm writing bc it's the only thing that's taking my mind off the fact school starts tmr for me :/
i'm nervous abt everything lowkey tbh i've never needed a hit so bad in my life 😭
-
my eyes blink open and for the first minute of my day i look around, confused, because where am i?
and then i spot my bags that sit in front of a little mirror in my bedroom, slowly i realize i'm in my room.
i'm in Australia, in my room, and somewhere in this house is austin.
wait but i didn't walk into my room last night to go back to bed, the only thing different is that my shoes are off and my zip up is resting on a chair in the corner of my room.
austin carried me from the car.
i feel bad because he had to do that and carry my bags.
but also i remember he's like completely ripped or at least he used to be.
i turn my head, looking to my left to see a digital clock on my nightstand.
it reads six-forty-three am.
knowing i won't be able to fall asleep, i get up from the bed, walking to my largest suitcase.
opening it i take out black tight fitted leggings and a matching sports bra.
i remember baz mentioning something about this place having its own mini gym?
i don't know but we'll find out.
after slipping on the outfit and tying my hair up, i venture out into the hallway, not knowing where to go.
i walk down the stairs and the house just keeps getting bigger.
finally i come across an empty hallway that has a clear glass door, i look inside and i see one treadmill, a weight lifting bench and a few other things.

smiling, i open the door.
to the left is a mini fridge stocked with water bottles, i grab one and i head over to the treadmill.
thankfully they had water or i would've forgotten.
i put in my AirPods before turning it on i put it at four mph with an incline of two, slowly i increase both.
unfortunately i have to work out almost every day to keep my 'model body' in shape.
i'm used to waking up early considering i have to in order to fit working out into my schedule.
i don't know how long i'm on the treadmill but it has to be around fifty minutes before i stop.
i take a sip of my water and i sit on a bouncy ball that they have for yoga or something, occasionally wiping off the layer of sweat that coats my forehead with a clean towel i found rolled up.
finishing my water, i get up and i walk to the door, throwing it out.
i grab my phone and everything else i brought with me before exiting the gym.
it's almost eight so i wouldn't be surprised if austin is up already.
i walk into the kitchen which is pretty easy to spot, and i head to the coffee maker that sits in the corner.
i don't even notice the man sitting at the island with a cup of coffee in his hand, curiously staring at me.
noticing that coffee is already made i frown and turn around, gasping when i finally spot austin.
his brow quirks upwards and i put my hand on my heart, trying to stop it from beating so hard.
"jesus you scared me." i whisper and i see he smiles at bit.
finally noticing his attire, he sits in grey sweats with a black tight fitted shirt on, his hair is very messy but he doesn't seem to care.

i shake the thoughts out of my head and i turn around, making myself a cup of coffee.
"how long have you been awake?" he asks.
"since like seven, couldn't go back to sleep so i decided on working out." i answer.
he doesn't answer so i assume he's nodding.
i turn back around and i walk over to where he's sitting, taking the seat next to him.
he turns to me with a lopsided grin.
"how did you sleep?"
"i slept okay."
"you seemed to be sleeping perfectly fine when i had to carry you up all the stairs, in fact i recall you mumbling something about how comfy my arms are." he says and his grin turns into a smirk.
a very big one.
my eyes nearly pop out of my head and i smack his arm gently, "i did not." i rush out and he touches my cheek with his finger.
"your blushing."
i groan and i throw my face into my hands, covering it.
i stand up from my seat and i place my mug into the sink.
"i'm taking shower." i state before beginning to walk out of the kitchen.
"you sure you don't want me to carry you? wait we wouldn't want you to fall asleep in my comfy arms." he teases and i roll my eyes.

The Last Marshal
Weird West Fantasy Noir Once the Republic Marshals brought order to the chaotic lands along the Frontier, facing dangers both human and supernatural with ancient wisdom and a six-gun —but that was a long time ago. Destroyed by conspiracy and betrayal, all that remains of that secretive order is one nameless man on a trek though the West seeking revenge on the woman he blames for the Marshals' fall and his disgrace. When a visitor from our world joins him on his journey, they together must confront the horrors of a strange land, the mysteries of the past and the real meaning of their quest for justice. The world of Tellus is what 19th Century Earth would have looked like if the stories of Poe, Ambrose Bierce, Lovecraft and William Hope Hodgeson were real. History in this world moves slower. The old faiths persist and civilization never conquered the dark corners of the map, at least not without being inextricably changed. Technology and culture takes a little longer to evolve in this land, as people here tend to spend more time pursuing their elaborate revenge plots or trying to avoid being the next sacrifice to the Outer Gods rather than advancing science or statecraft. Imagine Cormac McCarthy by way of Edgar Rice Burroughs, though a little less testosterone-drenched than that description would imply. Three caveats: First, there are deep mysteries here, including how such a world came to be and who controls it. Second, this world is not wholly unconnected from our own. There is a historical point of divergence, but in the distant past. To paraphrase Twain: history in this world is not a repeat of our own, but it does often rhyme. And finally, this is not a setting that lends itself to happy endings.

Endless Dive
He had been preparing for years. Finally, the time that he had invested paid off. His game studio had broke even and even started profiting. Quietly handing over his duties, after a few months he was finally free. The same day Azaan freed himself from his family business an entity that had been observing the planet for decades started unfolding its plan. Azaan finds himself thrown from one prison to another, even if he prefers this one. The world quietly starts changing as people slowly start gaining supernatural powers. Some use them for good, some for evil and some for pure profit. ------ This story will mostly be a slow burn, though I am considering including bits of time skips to reduce the repetitive stuff while also keeping up the pace. Synopsis will undergo if it can be bettered. ------ Tags and content warnings are mainly to give me creative freedom later on. This is my first novel ever, and English isn’t my native language, so please spare me, my lord/ladies. Any feedback is more than welcome with a bucketful of thanks.
