《Written in Bones [ Jurassic World]》Walk in the Park
Advertisement
Jennifer walked out of her room the next morning headed to the bathroom when she heard the shower already running. She was going to have to get used to the fact that she had a roommate. Not that she was opposed, she and Lily stayed up most of the evening talking about their lives over a couple of beers.
She heard Lily singing and edged closer.
"A is for Apatosaurus, B is for Brachiosaurus, C is for Corythosaurus..."
Jennifer covered her mouth to keep herself from laughing out loud. Finally, Lily came out to see Jennifer sitting at the kitchen table with an amused smile.
"Good morning."
"Morning." Jennifer grinned.
"Why are you smiling at me like that?" Lily asked ringing out her long hair with a towel before shaking it out like a dog.
"Singing your ABC's in there?"
Lilly puffed out her cheeks for exhaling. "You heard all that?"
"From Apatosaurus to Zigongosaurus." Jennifer said.
"Right...well that never leaves this house."
"You got it dude." Jennifer said. "Did you leave me any hot water?"
"Perhaps a drop." Lily said. Jennifer shot her a look. "I'm kidding, there's plenty left. Or at least there should be."
Lily looked at the Jurassic World uniform shirt on her bed. Her name was embroidered on the front of the white button up shirt.
"Who wears white at a dinosaur park?" she asked before putting it on. She pulled on a pair of jeans before slipping her feet into the pair of boots issued to her. She was attempting to lace one up while standing when she toppled over.
Jennifer opened the door poking her head in. Lily just laid there with a painful groan.
"Should I ask?"
"I rather you didn't."
"Okay." she closed the door.
"Alright this is yours." Jennifer handed her a radio. "And this." she placed a key in her hand.
"What's this for?" Lily asked.
"For your car. You plan on walking everywhere Goodwin?"
"Well no, but I hardly know where anything is."
"Just follow the signs, you'll figure it out quick. Mr. Masrani just wants you to take the day and roam around. Get your bearings."
"Right about that-" Jennifer was pushing her to the door.
"Have fun!"

Lily stood in front of the Mercedes-Benz G class SUV.
"Don't worry about getting dirty." Jennifer called from her vehicle before driving off.
"Yes, that's my concern, getting it dirty."
Lily drove around when she reached the Gyrospheres attraction. She stepped out when she saw Todd working on one of them.
"Todd!" she called. He looked over.
"Lily." he smiled wiping his hands on his pants. "What are you doing out here?" he asked. " I figured Masrani wouldn't have you out of his sight."
"Nah, they basically told me to go look around and get familiar with the area." she said.
"And you came here-"
"It was the first place I found from my home."
He chuckled. "Yeah, it's pretty easy to get turned around. How are you liking the park so far?"
"I dig it." she smiled.
"Nice, very punny" he tittered.
She stood proudly before looking at the machinery before her. "These things are crazy." she said touching the glass.
"Aren't they? They're designed to keep you upright the entire time, no matter what. Also, if you get too close they redirect you away."
"That's neat." she said.
"Not to mention we got Jimmy Falon giving the introduction video."
"Jimmy Falon? Why him?"
Todd shrugged. " I have no idea, but it works."
Suddenly, her radio went off startling her. She reached down and picked it up.
"Yes?"
"Ms. Goodwin , can you please come to the control room in the main centre?" a woman's voice asked.
"Uh sure." Lily placed the radio down. "If I can find my way there."
"I have to head back in to the main part to pick up another a piece for this one, I'll ride with you."
"Thank you!"
"Although, I'm not a hundred percent about all the roads either."
"Grreaat."
The two finally arrived, Todd took off to collect the needed piece while Lily walked into the main building. As she walked passed a few workers glanced at her and whispered. She made it to the control room and walked in to see a stern looking woman with red hair looking at her with pursed lips.
"About time you showed up. We've been waiting for ages." Lily saw Zara standing behind her with a clipboard in hand. She assumed this was Claire Dearing.

"Err... sorry, still trying to figure out where I'm going."
"We'll get you a map." Claire said."You need to prompt here Ms. Goodwin."
Lily rubbed her arm. She saw Lowery from the previous night along with a woman beside him giving her sympathetic looks.
"Did you call me here to scold me?" she asked.
Claire's eyes widened slightly before she raised a brow. "No, Mr. Masrani wanted me to formally meet you."
"Is this how you formally greet people?"
Zara motioned her to stop, waving her hands.
"No," Claire said through a clenched jaw forcing a smile on her face. It was slightly frightening. "Miss Goodwin, I am Claire Dearing , the park operations manager."
"Lily Goodwin. It's nice to meet you Ms. Dearing." Lily smiled widely at her.
Lily decided to visit Winston in the hatchery.
"There she is!" Winston smiled. "I'm glad you're here, I need some help with feedings."
"Are you by yourself?" she asked walking over to him.
"Unfortunately a nasty little cold is spreading around here. So, I'm the only one here today."
"I'm more than glad to help." she told him.
She sat down at a nest and began feeding a couple of ankylosaurus babies who pulled at the droppers.
"Hey!" she mused.
"Be careful with those ones, greedy little things."
She settled in front of a couple of small triceratops, one of them was rubbing it's head against the wall of the nest.
"I can't figure out why they do that." Winston said standing beside her.
"Boredom." Lily said plainly.
"Boredom?"
"I can only assume. For example, in some cases a horse will crib when faced with extreme boredom."
"Go on."
"Well...if these eggs were to hatch in a nest outside of the lab, they would be wandering around by now figuring out their new surroundings, they're babies, they are bound to be curious. But right now, when they hatch, they're encased in these walls."
"That's a good point. Never thought about it in those respects."
"I could be wrong." she said quickly. "I wouldn't take my word to heart!"
"Why not? It makes sense." he said. "You ought to have more faith in your words." he patted her back before walking lamely over to the counter. He turned to see Lily eyeing his leg before she looked away quickly.
"Car accident." he said.
"Huh?"
"It was a car accident, messed up my leg back when I had a full head of hair."
Lily frowned slightly. "I'm sorry..."
"No need to apologize, you're not the one who hit my car." he said with a kind smile.
Lily was sitting outside the Innovation Centre that evening attempting to find some cell service to call her father while she waited to meet up with Jennifer to grab dinner but it seemed she would have to wait until she got home. She sat down on the edge of a fountain placing her phone aside when she heard grumbling.
Owen was shaking his head while muttering under his breath.
"You seem flustered." she said. He jolted before looking over at her.
"Jesus, you scared the hell out of me."
"Sorry." she snickered.
"Do you just sit out here in the dark?"
"Do you always walk around muttering in the dark?" she countered.
He made a face at her before sitting down beside her. "I was not just walking around, I was leaving."
"Leaving from?"
"Someone's being nosey." he said poking her nose.
"Humor me, I've been sitting here for the last half hour trying to catch a cell signal." she told him.
"Sounds better than my night. I was on a date."
"Dates are supposed to be fun."
"Not when your date prints out an itinerary."
"I could see where that could be a bit of a mood killer."
"Destroyer is more like it."
"Who was it?"
"Claire Dearing." he said.
Lily blinked. "She does seem very-"
"Batshit crazy?"
"I was going to say organized, but sure, we can go with that."
She looked to his attire for the date. " Was it your intent to whoo her in board shorts?" she asked cheekily.
"Hey!" he laughed.
"I only say it because I can imagine she showed up prim and proper in a dress and you showed up looking like you were going to a pool party."
"Well, well, well, aren't we the fashion police?" he said.
"Right, because Paris Fashion Week is calling me up about my button up. Add a vest and I look like McLovin' from Superbad."
Owen laughed. "You did not just say that."
"Well, it's true!"
"Far from it Goodwin. Far from it."

Iron and Wood - A Tale Of Empire and Clans
For centuries, the Midlands had been split into fragments. A once glorious, united Empire has become a shadow of its former self. Unity has not returned, and not for the lack of trying. The greatest of these successor states were the Li Dynasty to the south, the rulers of old, and the Emerald Empire to the North, with its vibrant vitality. Unity is the end goal, and both will sacrifice anything to attain this elusive dream. For unity would surely solve the conflict that had long plagued this once prosperous continent. The Ironwood Clan was a prime player. Some would consider them the ones holding the reigns to the horse named 'Unification'. Iron and wood were the backbones of civilization; similarly, the Ironwoods were the backbones of the Northern Empire, and by extension, the people of the Midlands. Their methods, as questionable as they might be, had strengthened the North. Yet, were they enough? In the midst of it all, a young Ironwood who had lost his path must once again find his way. For the sake of his own wellbeing; for the sake of his clan; and for the sake of the Empire and its subjects. However, is he willing to sacrifice for the good of all? Is he willing to condemn some for the sake of others? Is he willing to make the right, albeit harsh, decisions? Only the heavens would know. Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, businesses, events and incidents are the products of the author’s imagination. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental. Additionally, any views and beliefs expressed by the characters are not the author's own. The story is also not an endorsement of any actions taken within. The 'profanity' and 'sexual content' warning tags are there to be safe (and to leave room for potential future changes), but for now these two things are not inside this novel. This is my take on 'cultivation', though it might be somewhat disconnected from the general idea of the genre. Release schedule: Two chapters a week. The cover was created using wombo art. While I believe that creations using the app are in the public domain, if that is not the case, I will take it down.

The Eye in the Sky
People have always thought that the undead would come from hell - that they would rise from their graves to bring their torments upon the earth. They never thought that they would come from the heavens instead and rain upon the world like divine judgment. Ten years had passed since that day. Evan had thought that he had seen all there is to see. What remained of civilized society couldn't recover. Millions of zombies wandered in every city, and thousands more roam the countryside. Every day was a struggle to survive just as it had always been. He, as well as most of the survivors that remained on earth, had resigned themselves to a life of wandering until their deaths. Their last hope was news of an underground settlement being constructed to the far west, outside the eyes of the wandering and falling undead. But then they encounter a girl who had survived in the middle of a heavily-infested city. She claims that she knows of a way to end the apocalypse once and for all. What should he and his group do?
