《If It Was Caleb--Divergent alternative ending》Tobias' P.O.V.

Tris' eyes close and they wheel her off to the OR. (Operation room). I walk to the waiting room and sit down. The room is deserted. She will be out in about 7 hours. What will I do for 7 hours? I sit for an hour, just staring at the white walls of the hospital. Someone sits next to me and breaks my trance. It's Zeke. He hands me a burger and water. "Thanks" I say, my voice cracking a little. "She'll be fine Four." He says. "I know,but..." I don't finish. "But what if she's not?" I say. He seems to understand. "You need to do something." He says and stands up. "Follow me." He commands and I do, reluctantly. We walk to the Hancock building. Oh no.
He pulls out the stuff for the zip line. Great. Now he's going to make me do this. As he sets it up, I get more and more nervous. I don't want him to know that though. He waves me over. "Get in." He says and straps me into the harness. "One...two...three." he counts and pushes me.
My body dangles off the edge as I soar through the sky. The wind brushes against my face and I close my eyes, scared to look down. I open my eyes and look at how high up I am. Fear starts to overwhelm me and I hyperventilate. I think of Tris and calm myself before I skid to a stop. I unbuckle myself and drop to the ground. "How'd you like it?" He asks and I shrug. "It was fine." I say with an obvious smile on my face.
I walk back to the hospital and he walks to his apartment. Tris' surgery should be done in 5 hours. I rest my head on the white wall of the waiting room and drift off to sleep.

I wake up and see that I e been asleep for 6 hours! What if she woke up and I wasn't there?! I run to the receptionist. "Can I see her?!" I ask frantically and she nods. "Room 409." She says, not even looking up from her computer. I bolt to her room and burst through the door. She's lying, unconscious or asleep, on the bed. I sit down next to her and hold her hand. She has a brace around her neck and IVs pocking out of her arms. A single tear escapes my eye and rests on her hand. I need to see her eyes again. I need to feel her lips on mine.
A few minutes later, the doctor comes in. "When she wakes up, you cannot let her talk. If she does, it could make her much much worse." She commands and I nod. Way to make me feel calm. Thanks dumbass. As she leaves the room, I turn back to Tris. Her eyes are open. "Did you hear that?" I ask and she nods. A weak smile crosses her face. I can tell that any move she makes is painful.
Our eyes meet and she let's a tear escape. She mouths the words 'I love you'. I smile. "I love you more." She shakes her head like she always does.
Her eyes drift closed and she falls asleep. All tension releases and all the pain is gone. She is so beautiful. What did I do to deserve someone as wonderful as she?

Legendary Farmer (available on Kindle July 2022!)
NOTE: Legendary Farmer is now COMPLETE. The first book, Clearing, was released on Kindle Unlimited July 5, 2022 with significant edits. I will post the first chapter of Clearing, as well as three chapters of Cuckoo's Dream, another novel in the LF universe, as a stub, with a link to the first book, so if you love LF and want me to be able to keep writing consistently, please go give Clearing five stars! In the VRMMORPG, Veritas Online, things are getting a little stale. Since the game launched, only one world- wide event has occurred, and that was a year ago.. The players are still having fun, but everyone agrees it’s about time for something big to happen. Everybody tends to forget that big things grow from small things, and little things are always changing in Veritas.The human country of Quarternell is at peace for the first time in... ever. Aspen, a former war hero, feels like he’s earned a quiet life together with his animal companions. They’re tired of fighting, and other people in general. They plan to live peacefully, far away from the city. As soon as Aspen figures out this farming thing out, he’s never going to go anywhere again. Unfortunately for Aspen, his country and his goddess aren’t quite done with him yet.Rouge the Rogue is a casual gamer in Veritas Online. She’s just a kid, and her focus is supposed to be on school and hanging out with friends. Emphasis on ‘supposed to’. She’s already pretty good at the school thing, and she doesn’t actually have that many friends. What she really loves is exploring all the cool ways the developers of Veritas found to make their game unique and realistic. Then she’s offered a very special quest, and an opportunity to go beyond the average player. She’s never been that much of a rule follower anyway....Clearing is appropriate for most ages. It has minimal foul language, no sex, and some violence. It is LGBTQ+ friendly. (P.S. IMPORTANT! This book contains very mild profanity, no sex, and is meant to be FUN. Yes, the characters sometimes think Deep Thoughts, and idealism pretty much runs rampant, but, in the end, I hope you just enjoy reading it. Laugh, cry, share it with your kids, read it to your dog, whatever makes you happy. My goal is for it to be accessible to everyone from ages 12ish on up, so you could definitely consider it YA, but with lots of big words because I don't believe in talking down to my readers.) Book Two: Harrowing (Starts after the original Chapter Fifty, now Sixteen, since I condensed chapters from the same perspective together.) Zoey has started her summer internship at Veritas Corporation, and she can honestly say that being an adult is boring. Until she starts learning secrets she was never supposed to know. In game, Rouge is finally making progress on her big quest. Apparently Duke Penbrooke took too long to return to the world, so the world is coming to get him... in the form of a few assassins. Aspen is going to have to face the life he left behind, and deal with the fact that it's not as easy being 'dead' as he thought. When what he'd hoped would be a short trip back to civilization to resupply turns into a whole lot more, he'll have to fight for his life, his friends, and his kingdom. Book Three: Sowing Rouge and Aspen have reached Bright, only to find that their enemies were already expecting them. They will have to quickly unravel the mysteries of who their opponents actually are, because they're already ten steps behind. Rouge and Aspen are finally home, but that doesn't mean they can return to their peaceful days of farming. Their enemies are hot on their heels and determined to destroy everything they've managed to achieve. Join them and all their friends for the final volume of Legendary Farmer.

Celestial Spark
Mages traditionally make poor fodder, but with proper training and motivation, possess near limitless potential. For mage teams, the battle camps of the Upper Realms provide both, with missions ranging from orc hunts to political espionage. This tale follows one such team of four who strive to prove themselves in a world that would rather overlook them. Loyalty, honour, and devotion are contrasted by avarice, treachery, and apathy, though at times it can be difficult to separate vice from virtue. For though all people, whether they hail from the peripheries or the kingdom capital, are subjects whose fates are bound to the stars, their choices must be their own. Any comments or questions are welcomed.
