《I Believe in Miracles / Ramones》Room 54
Advertisement
"I can't believe I'm actually doing this..." I said to myself as I looked into the mirror while doing my make up.
Today is the day that I was so excited for but also dreaded for weeks now. I am about to start the new job that I applied for a month ago. It's also the first time that I'm going to meet my actual employers and have them ultimately decide if they want me or if they don't.
I got told that there is no dress code and that made choosing something to wear much harder than it already was. I stood in front of my closet for 2 hours until I finally decided to wear a simple black lacey crop top, covered up by a red leather jacket and some bell bottom jeans. I still didn't know if I should wear my doc martens or thigh highs. This might sound really over dressed but I want to go into the job being 100% myself. I might be an introvert most of the time but my clothing style definitely screams extrovert.
I straightened my jet black hair and tried to keep my make up as simple as possible. Some highlighter in the corner of my eyes and a tad on my cheek bones, red lipstick and silver eyeshadow. I didn't go over the top.
After I finally decided to wear my dr. martens I took a final look at the watch which confirmed that it was time for me to get ready. My first day of my new possible work is going to begin in 1 hour and it takes me about 40 minutes to get there. Being a little early won't hurt.

I quickly grabbed my bag and headed towards the reception of the hotel in which I was about to meet my new employers and went straight to the reception.

"Good Morning M'am how can I help you?"
"I have a meeting with-" I looked at my note "Room 54!"
The lady at the reception took a look at her book which had all the Room numbers and current guests in it.
"Mmmm... Yes Room 54... I just need your name before I can hand you the keys!"
"Elizabeth Rains!"
She smiled and handed me the keys. "Here you go. First floor!"
I thanked her and made my way to the stairs and went straight to Room 54. I took one last breath before putting the keys into the lock and entering the room to meet the people who would hopefully be my employers from now on. Everything could change within the following moments.
Why I got the keys to enter the room myself and not wait for them to let me in? Because they wouldn't let me in. They wouldn't let anyone in. So I have to let myself in.
After mentally preparing myself I finally built enough courage to open the door. Much to my surprise, the room was empty.
"Hello?"
"Hellooo?"
"Is anybody here? I'm Elizabeth Rains and I'm here for the position as a manager?"
Saying it out loud sounded so weird. I never thought I'd actually even get the chance to try and work as a manager one day. Yet here I was, applying as a manager for an upcoming band. Honestly I should just take my bag and head back home. This is stupid. I'm insane.
"Nice to finally meet you Mrs Rains!"
That was enough to make me jump. I did not see that man coming up behind me and reach out his hand to shake mine.
The guy laughed. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you. I'm Dee Dee! I heard a lot about you."

I smiled softly. "Nice to meet you too, Dee Dee." I finally shook his hand. "It's fine by the way! I just did not see you coming up behind me."
"You seemed pretty lost in your own thoughts as if you were contemplating your whole life choices."
Well, he wasn't wrong.
"I tend to do that quite a lot." I said and laughed awkwardly.
"That must suck. See the guys and me usually hide in the bedrooms when we hear someone enter the room. I know we've been around for only a year but some fans are already pretty passionate. Too passionate. So you can never be too sure." he assured me and then turned around "Guys you can come out now it's safe."
I looked in the direction of the other rooms to find three other guys walking out of them.
They all had dark hair with similar hair-do's and their height differences were quite amusing. One of them was extremely tall, one was average and one was only a little bit taller than me. I'm quite small. Not that it mattered, but it was still interesting to look at.
They took turns to come up to me and shake my hand as well.
The small one introduced himself as Tommy.
The average height one introduced himself as Johnny.
Last but not least, the tall one introduced himself as Joey.
I was very grateful for the little introduction round because other than how probably everyone else would have, I have never done any research of this band. I wanted to completely surprise myself and not get too worked up or nervous about first impressions that weren't my own.
Everything I knew so far was that the band goes by .

The Head That Wears The Crown
It's a tale as old as time. Boy goes to funeral. Boy gets sucked into a different world. Boy has to lead a settlement. Boy has to lead a settlement? Boy has to lead a settlement. This is a story about that settlement, and some other stuff. Maybe. Disclaimer: Not sure if it qualifies enough for a gore tag. There is a description of someone's death somewhere in this, but I don't think it is descriptive enough to justify a gore tag. Disclaimer part deux: I initially started writing this as background for another story but got so into it I just ended fleshing it out a bit. Disclaimer part tres: People love reading disclaimers don't they? It's why I've included so many. They're just for you. Disclaimer part four: I know, this is getting egregious. You're starting to find it less funny. Just wait till the twentieth disclaimer, it will start being funny again. Disclaimer part five: I'm kidding, this is the last one. I don't promise I'll read every comment or message, but I certainly welcome your feedback. Disclaimer part six: I lied, it wasn't the last one. I wrote this story without breaking it down into chapters. It just goes, that means that the chapter ends when it ends, not when there is a convenient break in the story. That means that it's very annoying for you as a reader since chapters can end mid sentence. Hah! Sucker! Disclaimer part seven: Get ready for slow updates. Who knows when this will continue. Toss it on read later and come back in fifty years. Disclaimer part eight: Cover Photo by Arthur Ogleznev on Unsplash

World Master
Hey! I once lived on your world back in 2056. But that was a long time ago and there’s probably no records of my existence. Or, maybe, I haven’t even been born yet… …I’m still figuring out of the timelines correspond. Anyways, I was or will be, or whatever you want to call it (maybe I am?), John Pitcher, a resident at St. Jude’s Hospital for the Mentally Ill. I was a computer programmer and my parents had me admitted there because I was convinced that I had been contacted by Set, the Egyptian god of chaos, about creating a world. Well, apparently, I’m something akin to the great times a hundred grandson of over 10 000 gods, and they didn’t want me to live an ordinary, dull life (well, except for the god of normalcy, but he doesn’t count). Set gave me three years to prepare myself. This begins right at the end of those three years. [participant in the NaNoWriMo Royal Road challenge] I originally had this as part of the prologue, then I realized that it made a better synopsis. Please note: this might seem a bit clunky because I haven't done a lot of writing, and this is supposed to be a kind of prequel to another story that I plan on doing in the future. I will not be fully explaining everything but instead will be explaining things in that other story. This is mainly to help fill in the lore of the world so that people will have at least a basic idea of how things function. Regardless of that, that story won't be written for at least another year, so deal with it. Note: I am using ideas from several different authors in order to make sure that this can be a proper story. You may or may not recognize where I got them. I am not writing a Fanfiction and do not claim these as my own. I will add to a list of titles below as I find myself using those ideas. World Keeper (obviously) The Wandering Inn The Legend of Randidly Ghosthound (not yet, but eventually) A bunch of others that I haven't thought of yet
