《Her Choice | ✓EDITING》Hurt.13
Advertisement
For the past few months I've been working at this cute little diner. Levi isn't too very happy because he says he can take care of me. But secretly I don't want that.
I got a job because if I ever do get a divorce, I want enough money for my own place.
I don't know how many times I've greeted people and asked if I can take their orders. It's kind of tiring job. Walking around all day, writing down orders, taking them to the kitchen, then more orders, then you hear the bell call out your order, and then you have to get the food, take it to the customer. Then it all repeats itself.
Carter had to go out of state for work. Something about catching a drug dealer.
Levi has been like a glue. I know he's just trying to make everything better but I need some space. He's been talking a lot about kids.
He says that he's already 30 and that he wants some babies. Then he smiles and makes me swoon. But then I think about Carter and I feel hopeless.
As I park my car in the marriage counseling lot.
We sit in the office waiting for our counselor.
"How was your day?" He says.
"It's good, how about you?" I smile.
"It was okay. I thought about us having again." He chuckles.
"I already told you Levi. I don't know if I want a baby with...you." I look down.
"Look I know that you're not completely over this Aurora but I want you to think about it at least. I've missed you. You don't act the same anymore. We haven't had sex in months. I've been missing your touch." He whispers.
"Levi I want a di-."

I get cut off by a door opening and our counselor coming in.
"Hey guys, how are you two?" He says and sits in front of us.
"We've been doing alright. Aurora has been a little distant though." Levi says.
"How do you that she's being distant Levi?"
"She doesn't kiss me anymore without me kissing her first, she doesn't hug me, she barely even acknowledges I'm with here, we don't even have sex anymore. We're just two strangers who sleep in the same bed." He says sadly.
"How do you feel about what Levi is saying Aurora?"
"He's right. I've been distant. Because I don't know what I feel anymore. I love Levi but I don't understand what's wrong with me." I say.
"Is this about Cassandra?" He looks at me.
"No Levi it's not about her or what you did with her. It's about me and trust. I don't know if I can trust you. But I want to because I still love you. But then there's also someone else in my heart." I say.
"Did you cheat on me back?" He raises his voice a little.
"I-I no I didn't. I just kissed someone bu-."
"You what?!" He yells and jump a little in my seat.
"Levi why don't you calm down?" Our counselor says.
"No! I'm not calming down. I'm doing everything for you Aurora! I want us to be happy together again. But now you're telling me you kissed and you don't know where your heart belongs?! I'm your husband it should belong to me!" He yells at me.
"Levi I understand but when I kissed the guy I was still vulnerable and sad. I'm sorry for doing that to you." I look at him.
"Who was the guy?" He says.
"But Le-."
"No Aurora, tell me who was the guy."
"It was Carter..." I say.

The Choice of Twilight
Growing up has always been difficult. It's even worse when you have to do it all in one night. On the eve of his thirteenth birthday, Ty awakes to find himself in a dreamworld, one-so he is told-that exists to pit him against his greatest fears and insecurities. And to ready him for a final choice. Luckily, Ty is not without friends. He soon meets Gentry, a wooden puppet his grandfather made for him years ago, walking and talking, ready to help Ty learn what he needs to return home in one piece. But that won't be easy when a cruel and abnormally tall skeleton dressed in mockery of Santa Claus and his suit hates Ty's guts. San wants nothing more than to best Ty and do what none of his kind has ever done before: defeat a child that has made "the choice." But Ty will stop at nothing to fight back against everything San's got in order to face his fears and grow up. Because, if he doesn't, he will end up a kid forever. Or, worse...never wake up again. This story is perfect for you if you are a fan of Coraline and Kingdom Hearts, both of those stories greatly inspired this one. I have recently added the Isekai tag after being unsure if it counts or not. I've decided it fits the description of what it is but not the current trends in the genre. If you go in with Coraline in mind I think you will have a better idea of the kind of Isekai this is. And I've also added the Slice of Life tag, that is only for the first five or six chapters though, then Ty enters the dream world and it pretty quickly becoms a progression fantasy, a mix of more traditional fairy tale like trappings alongside more anime action and acquisition of slowly increasing powers. With all that out of the way, please enjoy! Updates every Tuesday and Thursday! What time of day? It's a mystery! (For now)

Courier
Zoe Blanco moved to New York after fleeing the small town she grew up in and the Purity Church that controls it. The Church believes in keeping humanity pure. This means none of the NanoPCs known as Frames or any other cybernetics that most of the rest of the world uses and enjoys everyday. Upon arriving in the Big Apple, Zoe is picked up by her cousin and witnesses a courier weaving their motorcycle through traffic. Zoe envies the courier's freedom. Couriers transport data and on occasion small objects for anyone willing to pay the price. Secured delivery is guaranteed and no questions are asked. Like having a human servant in this corporate owned world, using couriers is seen as a status symbol for the wealthy and corporate elite. New York's criminal underground uses couriers for similar reasons. This gives the hundreds of couriers in NYC steady work. After weeks of not finding a job while living with her aunt and cousin, Zoe turns to her slicing skills to steal credits from the Purity Church and turns to the mob so she can get a loan to pay for the internal secure storage space a courier needs and a frame for herself. After making an unlicensed run or two, Zoe finds employment with a transport company and truly starts her life as a courier. This story is a mix of light scifi, cyberpunk, slice of life, a dash of action, and a smidge of fantasy. Slicing is what hacking is called in this story. Credits are currency in this story.
