dad and i sat around the fire instead of eating inside the house like everyone else.
he's pissed off at everyone right now but me. he don't get mad at me often.
we just sat in silence staring at the fire. carol informed us that lori is missing and dad told her that she probably went off looking for rick.
and dad snapped at carol and walked away from the scene. i sighed and just continued to look at the fire. i didn't feel like going after him to be honest.
dad went over to where we clean the animals we killed. a little while later carol went there to talk to him again. instead dad lashed out on her. all i heard was him yelling at her. i just tried to ignore it. it's best to leave dad alone when he's like this.
i didn't even consider getting involved until i heard carol say "i'd rather you take this out on me than your daughter. so go ahead. yell. do whatever you need to". they both looked over at me. i started to listen in.
"i ain't like your husband. i ain't gonna do nothin' wrong to my daughter. hell, that girl is my entire world! just because my dad was an asshole doesn't mean i'm gonna be a shitty dad. don't bring my daughter into this shit" he yelled in carols face. he looked over at me. he must have noticed i was listening in.
"reagan mind your own damn business!" he yelled. i quickly turned my head back fo face the fire.
the next morning i joined dad, shane, t-dog, and andrea by one of the cars. dad and i are finally carrying around our bows again. and speaking of dad, i'm just trying to keep my mind off the mess that happened last night.

we started discussing things when a car started to drive into hershel's property. it was rick and the others. dad and i started walking towards it.
rick came out of the carl along with hershel and glenn. "patricia, prepare the bed for surgery. reagan, stay on stand by. i might need your help" hershel said walking into his house. hershel may hate most of the people in our group at the current moment, but he still loves me.
dad and i started walking towards the car when t-dog pointed out the fact that there's a guy in there. his name is apparently randall.
i stood outside of the room while hershel preformed surgery. i helped him out with a few parts. nothing major though.
dad went off on his own. he didn't come back until we we all discussing the randall situation. i came walking in with hershel. i stood in the corner of the dining room and dad came over to me and stood protectively next to me.
once we were all done talking, carol came up to dad and i. dad stormed off and i followed him.

The Casual
Notice: On hiatus. *profanity tag added just in case a bit of swearing is required, but I'll try to keep it as profanity-lite as possible* RealWorldIII came with the motto "Bringing the imagination back into the gaming" with an innovative skill combination system that promises to create unique (see: not-actually-unique) characters tailored to each player's preferences (see: we-swear-it's-not-random) Alex is a random guy with the motto "Well... whatever" with a history of being at the top of the gaming scene (see: he was a kid back then) that after twenty years of working for daily necessities finds himself facing a tough dilemma: do I go back to being a corporate slave, or do I gain money by playing a game no questions asked? (see: not really a dilemma) The only question is, can an actual "casual", even if ex-pro, survive constantly playing a game? or will he end banging his head on the wall? The story will unfold mainly in-game, with little if any real life events happening.

Outlook: The Stars (Consciousness Unbound Book 1)
The year is 2152. Rune Yahui is a nineteen-year-old failure, not having gained entrance to college or the military, with no significant prospects in life. Even worse, Rune is the poorest of the poor, hailing from the mega-slums of New Southern Chicago, the lowest pit of America. In a desperate last-ditch attempt to gain a future more lustrous than toiling the rest of his days away in abhorrent conditions in one of the near sweat-shop level factories that dot the megapolis, Rune signs up for the Virtual Citizen program, a program to cull the excessive world population by transferring just their brains into a video game. In a stroke of rare luck, Rune is admitted into the program and happily submits himself to the surgery and digitization process. Unfortunately for him, he wakes up several hundred years later than he expected... or does he? **Author's Note** This isn't a type of story typical to RRL. You may have noticed LitRPG in the tags, but it's a relatively minor element in the story until later. You may also notice Slice of Life is in the tags. This story is going to be slow and there won't be any power tripping until way later if at all. The focus will be on character development. That doesn't mean I won't still have action/excitement, however. I encourage you to give the story a try. Maybe it will be your thing, maybe it won't. Thanks for even taking the time to read this, and if you do give my fiction a try, I hope you enjoy it. If you don't, well, I hope you find something that you do enjoy. Happy reading!

Aside from my own personal problems with depression, there were many, many things I came to dislike about the way it was progressing. With the low quality of the earlier chapters, it was in dire need of at least an editing run. Instead of just editing the subpar chapters, I decided to just do it over again and change what I did not like. Please also note that I am not a native English speaker and thus might make mistakes. I have tried hard to find and correct most, but I am certainly not perfect.If you notice anything that is wrong just leave a comment below the chapter and I will try to get to it.
