《Disappearance》Chapter 9
Advertisement
I never thought I would be back in here so soon but I've been taking my medicine and getting better. Jahreem visits me literally everyday never misses a day.
"Knock knock". Someone said causing me to look up from Haisley's ultrasound picture.
"Hey". I said smiling standing up.
"Hey baby how you been". Jahreem said with a huge smile on his face.
"Good I miss you I'm ready to come home". I said with a pout on my face as he brung me into a hug.
"I know I miss you too". He said as we take a seat on my bed.
"I bought you some Hot Cheetos". He said pulling the bag out waving it in my face causing me to smile.
"What about my chips ahoy". I ask with my eyebrow raised.
"Come on now you know be better than that, BAM". He said whipping them out of the bag.
"Thank you". I said kissing him as he smiled.
And we sat there in silence.
"You know she would have been have been 5 months today". I said laying my head on his shoulder.
"I sometimes wonder what her smile would look like, what she smelled like, what she looks like". He said looking off to the side.
"I know you don't want to but do you want to visit her grave today". He said looking over at me.
I don't want to see her like that but maybe it'll help me come to terms with it.
"Yeah I'll go". I said lowly while nodding.
"Really". He asked in shock since he's been asking me for a while now.
"Yeah". I said with a half smile.
"Put your shoes and jacket on and let's go". He said and I nod standing up.
Grabbing my jacket I throw it on before putting on my shoes. Grabbing my hand he leads me to the front desk.

"I'd like to sign her out for 2 hours". He said to sally the front desk lady.
"Sign here". She said pointing to a clipboard on the desk.
He signed it and we walked out of the building. He opened the door for me and I got in.
Looking out of the window I see people walking the streets as he got in starting the car up. As he pulled off I cut the radio on.
Getting out of the car I grab Jahreems hand because I don't know where her tombstone is.
We walked for a minute or two before we came in front of an angel tombstone and he stopped.
"This is her". He said looking down at it.
"I can't look". I said turning my head as tears began to form.
"Take a seat". He said pulling me down and I continued to look at the ground.
Looking up I see her name engraved.
"You have anything you want to say". He asked looking over at me and I shook my head.
"Not right now". I said and he nodded.
"Hey babygirl it's daddy again and I finally brought mommy with me". He said as I stared at the tombstone.
"You know when you were inside mommies tummy and I would play music for you and you would dance I just knew you would be a dancer I was going to take you to classes and dance with you". He said tearing up and I pulled him into me and he started crying into my chest.
We got up and started heading towards the car.
"You want some frozen yogurt". He asked as he opened my door.
"Yeah". I said nodding and he closed the door walking around the car getting in.
Leaning back I watch as building pass by as he drove.

Since the yogurt place wasn't far we made it there in five minutes. Getting out he throws his arm over my shoulder as we walk in.
We pick our cup and what flavor and toppings we wanted before going to the counter and paying. Walking over we take a seat at a table by the window.
"How's work been". I ask eating some of my yogurt.
"Good I got a 25 cent raise it's not much but it adds up". He said smiling cause me to smile.
The bell on the door run and I looked over seeing a lady pushing a stroller in. She walks past our table and I look at the baby and I see a heart shaped birthmark just like the one our daughter had.
"That's her that's our baby girl". I mumbled to myself staring at the baby in the stroller.
"What".He asked looking at me confused.
"That's our daughter". I said louder this time standing up and making my way over to the lady that just walked in.
"PUT ME DOWN THAT'S MY BABY I KNOW IT". I yell as he carries me outside putting me in the car and getting in himself.
"What is wrong with you". He asked looking over at me as he drove.
"That was our daughter". I said and he shook his head.
"That wasn't our daughter Marlowe you can't just go up saying peoples daughter is ours". He said and I didn't say anything the rest of the ride.
We made it back to the institute and I got out walking inside the building.
As he signed me in I make my way to my room.
"Look". He started but I cut him off.
"I'm pretty tired I think you should go".I said taking off my jacket and shoes.
"Really Marlowe". He asked as I laid on the bed.
"Bye". I said turning facing the wall.
"I love you". He said as I stared at the wall.
"I love you too". I said and I could hear him walk out of the room closing the door.
Letting out a sigh I close my eyes.
That was my baby I just know it...

Ari-os
Ari-os is a story about a 21-year-old woman who woke up in an abandoned lab with little to no memories of her past. Turns out she is in the future now and the world became a very different place from what it used to be. Magic appeared in the world, changing it forever, and humanity created a way to control it, allowing people to increase their physical and mental abilities while shaping the world according to their will, but something caused civilization to regress, becoming a mere shadow of what it used to be. In her journey to figure out who she was, what happened to the world, and how much time has passed, Kali will discover ancient ruins, fight horrendous creatures, find how humanity has fared in this harsh world and meet with droids that walk the land as remnants from the technology that the world once had. In this story, you are going to see Litrpg elements such as a system with panels, skills, and stats (Although not inside a game, the main character has access to information about her growth much like an RPG). Survival elements will be present but it won't be the focus of the story, but crafting and enchanting on the other hand are going to be quite prevalent. Please, do let me know what you think in a comment or review, all criticisms are welcome. Also, English is not my native language so if you see any grammar mistakes, do tell me :) Chapters of ~2700 words each.

Falling
It is often unclear when a thing comes to an end, the world itself no exception. In the event of the world ending, it was both abrupt and unnoticed, something down right confusing to most involved. Due to this confusion, we will quickly cover the short window of events that led to the destruction of the generally known universe, following the primary instigators to hopefully give the whole thing a little much needed context. ... Author’s Note: I intend to release regularly, hopefully weakly, within the planned three arcs. However, it may go on hiatus between arcs, but it should be clear that an arc has ended. Regardless, I currently plan to go on hiatus after the third arc, which is intended to be a natural breaking point. This is with the hope of not dropping off in the middle of narrative, and I am mentioning it now so no one is surprised if there are planned pauses. Content Warnings: I do not plan to include anything I would see as profanity, gore or traumatizing content. However, I do expect my bar for what qualifies is both above some people’s and below others. Therefore, I am including the Content Warnings so people are not surprised when my view is different. If you find something you do not like, I wish you luck in moving on without it farther concerning you. If I was not as extreme as you were hoping, I apologize for not meeting expectations. I have not marked sexual content, since I do not intend to include explicit sexual acts. However, sex and sexuality still exists and may come up as both an offscreen event or subject. Cover Art: The art work is by me, and I will take it down immediately at request from the artist.

Humans Are Evil (completed)
A world of magic, where empires rise and fall, and where civilization is never safe from the perpetual menace of the monsters that roam the land. In this volatile landscape Fera is reborn and must adapt to this new and ever-changing world. She will grasp at whatever opportunities she finds to escape her unfortunate birth as an orphan. Either excelling, or wallowing in self-pity, Fera will question if this world of magic was as fantastical as she initially thought. Note: The story is technically a litRPG, but much less like a game and more akin to real life, for example obtaining a class does not give free skills to the individual, it’s the other way around! Skills are what unlock your class, so an individual who learns magic skills will unlock mage classes, classes then provide passive buffs and stats, in my opinion this makes everything feel more earned so that the power levels in the world are more natural, rather than every single random person being a powerhouse.
