Advertisement
Backstory:
Cancer and Pisces are best friends and room mates. They're both 18 and share an apartment.
-o-o-o-o-
Pisces sits on her bed and quietly sobs. She feels alone and upset. She looks at the knife sitting on her desk and weeps more. No one will miss me... The sweet girl thinks. She grabs the small knife and cuts her arm. She winces at the pain but doesn't make a sound. She watches the blood trickle down her arm and sighs. She slides the blade over her wrist this time and sharply inhales.
Suddenly, the door creaks open and Cancer pops her head in.
"Hey, what do you-" She stops as she sees Pisces' arm covered in blood.
Cancer gasps and rushes over to Pisces. Pisces sobs and hangs her head low. Cancer grabs some tissues and tries to stop the bleeding while Pisces wails. Cancer gets some bandages from the bathroom and wraps Pisces wrist and forearm with them. Pisces sniffles and avoids meeting Cancer's eyes. Cancer hugs Pisces and whispers,
"It's all gonna be okay. Trust me. I know what you're going through. Please stop hurting yourself..."
"How do you know?" Pisces asks.
Cancer lifts up her shirt to reveal scars on her stomach. Pisces looks down again.
"O-oh..." She mutters.
Cancer takes Pisces' hand and leads her into the living room. They get two spoons and a container of ice cream and sit on the couch. They start eating it while watching T.V. Pisces' tears dry up and she laughs at the jokes made on T.V. Pisces turns to Cancer and smiles,
"It's gonna be okay!"

Aurora: Apocalypse
Currently participating in the April 2022 Royal Road Writeathon. This fiction will resume in May 2022 When Methuselah’s star explodes, the world burns under the impact of an extinction level event. Emmett Carter just wants one thing - to gather his family at the farm and keep them safe. Rated [M] for Mature Audiences. Contains Alcohol use, Drug use, Gore, Profanity, Smoking, Violence.Rated [D] for Drama. Contains emotional themes, interpersonal relationships, and character development. Author's note: You are reading a first draft, written mostly while drinking cheap whiskey. Expect it to read like hot garbage and I guarantee that it’ll meet your expectations. I’m a storyteller, not a writer - there’s a huge difference between the two professions. IMPORTANT! This story is told in a first-person limited, conversational style, with Emmett occasionally breaking the 4th wall and addressing the reader directly. This means that YOU and Emmett may have absolutely no idea why stuff is happening, because there will be little or no exposition or other POV's. Read the comments for spoilers, ask questions if you want to know something.This work incorporates blended aspects of Xianxia, Wuxia, Super powers, and Western Magic into a post-apocalyptic fantasy adventure. It is none of those things and all those things, mashed together. The MC is Over Powered, but so are many, many others. He just hasn't met them yet. Dear Student, What follows is an adaption of the diary of Emmett Carter before his Ascension. While the decades during and after the Aurora Apocalypse are lost to us, the Ascended himself has allowed us to publish this work so long as we warn the reader that it may not be entirely accurate or present an unbiased viewpoint of the events. One should also note that the Aurora was in flux during that time and some things that were possible in the early days are no longer possible, especially with the advent of the Akashic record. Editors have included footnotes when possible to explain pre-aurora technologies or concepts and how they relate to current magical technologies. The contents of this work may upset readers. If you’ve ever been in a natural disaster, had a house fire, witnessed a murder, lost a loved one to violence, or have a strong opinion on the sanctity of life, please do not read this. It contains dramatic scenes of a world in the throes of an apocalyptic event. There are no rainbows and unicorns, only loss, uncertainty, and death while the survivors struggle to rebuild their lives. Updates Thursdays and Sundays for now. Word count is about 2000 ~ 4000ish per chappie.
