《Whodunnit》Chapter 14
Advertisement
We sat in our English class we were going to be having together. Cass was still not in school. I reached for my phone in my backpack so I could call or something. I sent a text message instead
"Cass where are you? We have English already"
She replied almost immediately and the reply notification was very loud that Mrs Freeman looked at me through her rounded frames whose lenses were as thick as glass bottles. I dropped my phone on my desk as I tried to duck her fiery stare. I wasn't ready to put a staring showdown with that lady.
As usual, the English class was the boring start of the day that got a lot of people yawning, too bad gum wasn't allowed, it could have helped.
I walked through the halls leading to the cafeteria holding my phone with my head down but I could still see if someone was approaching. At that time Cass texted me back that she had a driver's test and she wouldn't be coming to school. Great, just great
"Heading to the caf?" A voice from behind me chirped
"Yes Kyle, are you?" I was hoping he'd say no
"Let's go then"
We walked into the cafeteria laughing our butts out as he made an imitation of Mr Ramsbuttom. He was a vibe
"Hey what's up guys" a high pitched voice chirped from the entrance. I was already sitting in the middle of my meal when she walked in. Kyle had left since he had football practice and I wasn't particularly fast at eating.
"Cassandra Ann McClain woods" I said after properly swallowing the food in my mouth
She propped a chair beside me to sit
"Make that driver Cassandra" she replied as she waved a bunch of car keys to me

"Oh my God"
"I know right"
"This is soooo cool, Cassey. So worth missing maths class for" I rolled my eyes wishing I had gone for the test instead of her
"I could you drive you home today" she said as jabbed me amidst her contagious smile.
I sighed as I considered her enticing offer. I really would have wanted to ride with her and probably stop over somewhere before going home but that was in no way happening. I was even sure that if I wasn't careful I'd have gotten a motion detector for my 16th birthday present
"I don't think so" I mumbled after weighing the odds
"Why not?" She said, fury glaring in her eyes in an attempt to scare me
"Nick died last week" I said with a sniffle, it was so easy to cry nowadays
"Oh My God" she held her hands to her mouth

Viceroy's Pride
This story could be about the Tellask Empire, ruler of a thousand suns and faced with imminent peril at the hands of the Orakh hordes. It could be about Paltai Amberell, the scion of a noble elven House, fallen upon hard times and seeking to find the key that will restore his family's name and save the Empire itself. It could be the story of his voidship, The Viceroy's Pride, powered by magic and crewed by a team of crack marines as they search for adventure and the solution to the Empire's myriad problems. Instead, this is the story of Daniel Thrush, human electrical engineer, befuddled researcher and survivor of the debacle that was first contact with a spacefaring civilization. Due to a combination of luck, magic, hard work, and more luck he is thrust into the center of events as Earth is shoved onto a much larger stage rife with semi-immortal elves and magical kingdoms that predate the Earthly invention of agriculture. Earth is outnumbered, and we have precisely one wizard. Dan. He's not very good at it, but he's going to have to learn in a hurry or watch everything he knows get torn apart by massive spacefaring empires straight from the pages of a fantasy novel. ---------- Some readers have noted that the MC tends to be weak willed and pushed around a bit. A significant portion of the story is his character growth into not being a pushover (i.e. him being passive is in the early chapters on purpose). I'm just including this caveat/warning to make sure that readers aren't surprised/upset and that they stick with it until he learns to stand up for himself. His arc begins to crystallize around chapters 25-27. If that's too long to wait, I get it, I'm just trying to do my due diligence and warn you that the character development is a bit of a slow burn. This is NOT a harem novel. Nothing against them, just not what it is. --------- Updates Monday, Wednesday, and Sunday Feel free to bother me on our discord- Discord!

Gloryland
**for Quravin** It's the summer of 2010, and Evan Barker's older brother Jason has just committed suicide. His devastated parents are reeling from the Recession, his friends are shiftless drunks, and his younger sister has been committed after discovering Jason's body. In an attempt to assuage the trauma his family has experienced and break away from his own shitty existence, Evan decides to grab his portion of the modern American Dream by trying out for that year's American Idol auditions in Nashville. Never mind that Evan's a 21-year-old virgin with a self-image as poor as his social skills. Never mind that he's never even attempted to sing before. In 21st century America, anything is possible, or so Evan's been told by a cultural upbringing of "Follow your dreams" and "Everyone is special" and "True love awaits". Speaking of true love, Evan asks Lily Trent to accompany him on the journey. Lily is a childhood acquaintance with whom he's recently reconnected and developed a crush on. Lately Lily's been working as a stripper, a cynical and jaded young woman who may or may not have her own motivations for joining Evan on the trip. Evan hopes the time alone will spark reciprocal affections in Lily, and an improbable come-from-nowhere triumph on national TV will not only free his family from their blue collar burdens, but win him the respect and love he craves-- not just from others, but from himself. Together, Evan and Lily discover why learning how to fail may be their generation's greatest lesson. Cover art by Gerry Siorek

Body Modifier: Energy Required
Aria ate a fish. [Energy: 2] Finished, he ate another fish. [Energy: 2] ... [Energy: 3] Without realizing it, he had finished 5 fishes. He felt a little bloat, he lay down with a full stomach, occasionally burped. Even though he didn't want to be a big lump of meatball, he still had to keep eating. At least until he found another way to accumulate energy. After all, if he didn't take advantage of his advantages, wasn't that stupid? His mind then drifted imagining which one he would use the energy for. Should he use it on his eyes, so it shot a beam of laser, like a certain bespectacled mutant? Should he use it on his bones, so it regenerated infinitely, like a certain character from an anime? Should he use it on his brain, so he became a genius, like a scientist with a bald head? Or should he use it on his vital organ, so that he became the manliest person in the world? While he was imagining things, suddenly his ears felt pinched. "Ouch!" "Didn't mom already say you can't play with fire, you brat?!" There he realized, knowing that no matter what he chose, he was still a child in front of his mother.
