《Seventeen One-Shots》-5- Hoshi Revised
Advertisement
You were running around backstage like a chicken with it's head cut off, trying to find the sound board someone hid from you. Being head of the tech crew in high school theatre was rough for you. Everyone loved playing pranks on you.
It was the middle of class and you weren't in class, playing warm up games with everyone else...like you were supposed to. You were to worried about learning the commands for the new sound board. You missed the old one. Sure it was from the 80's and shorted out sometimes but it was simple and familiar. This new one worked off of an app on an Ipad. It annoyed you that you had to depend on a confusing app that didn't work more times than none.
You looked everywhere for that stupid ipad. The girl's dressing room. The boy's dressing room. The costume closets...All 10 of them. The balcony over the stage. Out in the seats of the auditorium.
You couldn't find it anywhere. You layed out in the isle of chairs and started groaning in frustration.
You stayed like that for 20 minutes.
You could hear someone slam the door connecting the auditorium to the black box. "I don't see her!" You heard your classmate, Soonyoung yell. "I hear though!" He laughed.
You sat up and walked onto the stage. "Teach is looking for you." "And I'm looking for that stupid ipad." "The one with the sound board app on it?" "What other ipad would I be looking for?" "I was playing around with it in teach's office. I'll get it for you."
Soonyoung ran back into the classroom and back out to the stage with the ipad. "I am going to murder you." "And the Stage director is gonna murder you for being a poor sport and not doing warm up exercises with us." "I'm not an actor. It's not necessary." "It's good for you." "If you're an actor. I don't have time for red leather yellow leffer." You misspoke. "See?! You need the warm ups!" "Fight me!" Soonyoung rolled his eyes at you and mumbled something about 'tech geeks'. "Pfft! Background dancer!" You yelled spitefully. He turned back around with wide eyes. "Background is better than backstage!" He yelled, his voice just as full of spite as yours. Your eyes grew wide and you felt highly offended. "I'm triggered." You mumbled. "So am I." He mumbled too, crossing his arms.

"I make your job possible, you know?" You said, pouting a little. "Without us actors...you wouldn't have a job to do." Soonyoung smarted off, infuriating you further. "Without us tech geeks, nobody would notice you!" You yelled in his face, balling your fist.
You had taken enough crap from actors thinking they were better than everyone else just because they're on stage and seen by everyone. You weren't mad at Soonyoung specifically. His actions just pushed you over and you needed to hit something.
He started laughing. "What is so funny?" You questioned. Y'all were in the middle of a rather heated argument and he just started laughing. He made no sense and was confusing the shit out of you.
"I'm sorry...I've been egging you on to get you pissy. You're so cute when you're angry." He starts laughing hysterically.
You took in a sharp breath and cooled off a little.
Your face burned because he called you cute though.
"Give me my sound board...idiot." You shook your head. "I need a kiss as payment for my labor." He smirked.
You looked at him, unamused by his actions. Not even 2 minutes ago were y'all spitting venom in each other's faces. What was his issue?,
"We were literally just fighting. Quit flirti-" You were cut off by Soonyoung slamming your body against his and wrapping his arms around your waist tightly.
You were slammed into silence.
His touch made you forget the last 5 minutes of your life and you felt at peace.
Tell me why I've got people sliding into my DM's as if I don't have my current boyfriend plastered all over my IG

Apex Predator
Earth is a fairly small place, but it's all Bath has. It's the only home he's ever known for all of his 500-or-so-million years of life. One day, Bath realized his treasured Earth was being drawn into the next mass extinction ahead of schedule. So, fascinated by the humans and their quick rise to power (after all, setting off a mass extinction is a pretty sizable achievement), what's a nearly all-powerful, somewhat bored, morally ambiguous, savagely violent, shapeshifting alien entity to do other than assume the form of a human and do some front-line investigating? Little did Bath know he would soon stumble upon a mysterious human organization with a gate leading to planets eons away. And that's just the beginning... A story with aliens, intergalactic space travel, mind powers, and an abundance of adventure! Author's note: ON HIATUS! Hello and thank you for reading! Constructive criticism and grammar-policing are both appreciated. Parts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 are complete at 1271 pages! Part 7 is in progress! If you've ever read any other web serials, you might've noticed that authors get better with time (that is, their art or writing improves). Wutosama of Metaworld Chronicles noted that the first 20 chaps are always a mess. This is also the case with Apex Predator. The first two parts (ranging just under 30 chapters, or 161 pages) are absolutely subpar. While I have edited them as of 7-10-18, they require a rewrite, which is currently in the works but not complete. For a sample that gives insight into what the latter ~80% of the story's writing style is like, check out chapter 56. Vote for Apex Predator on Top Web Fiction! The Apex Predator Discord is here. Cover: original work done by me, the author, caerulex.

Bleached Nightmare
500 years into the future, technological progress has stagnated. Wracked by a series of problems like climate change, lack of resources and the innate human lust for war, the geopolitical landscape of planet Earth is radically different, and quality of life is far from what it was in the past. While technical development and research into realistically feasible space travel has made leaps and bounds, this has come at the cost of a world that is reeling from centuries of technical stagnation in other aspects of life. The establishment of a mining colony on Mars has led to the discovery of a new, rare material called sarinium; though it is extremely tensile and durable, it has a very low melting point. The discovery of this metal leads to large mechanical infantry- dubbed 'Spirit Striders', they are six to ten meters tall and as famed for the pride they provide a nation as they are a lethally mobile heavy weapons platform. The story follows the character of Marilin, who must both figure the enigma that is her past, and what this means for her allegiances in the future. Despite her genetically physical frailty, she seeks to gain power through a vessel that will channel her wish to change the world- the Spirit Strider. --- I hope you all enjoy my work. This is a story that I began writing over four years ago in my beginning years of high school, and have cast aside unfinished in the past two years. Though it is not up to my current standards, I hope you all may find some enjoyment in it. Happy reading.

My goal is to establish a believable fantasy world, and I want to pace the story so that I can do that properly. If that sounds appealing to you please give this story a chance.
