《Just Yourself》21
Advertisement
It is funny how the ones who help are bullied, and the ones who care are thrown away. But when they give advice, everything changes. They become those wise and powerful people. The only explanation for this is that those people are normal people. These are the ones that will be able to make a change because they are true. They are true because no matter how many times you hurt them, they never change who they really are. With every scar, they get stronger instead of getting weaker, proving the whole world wrong. You are absolutely right to think that it is so weird and unbelievable, but it is true. Every knife is a lesson that they learn and become stronger. Every bullet teaches them not to treat others the way others treat them because they know it hurts. They learn that this pain is hard to overcome and they decide to stay pure. They help the broken because they know the needs of a broken heart.
Power comes from times of weakness. You may search for power everywhere but not in weakness, yet this is the only place where it can be found.

Overseer
From the nothingness I appeared. Bodiless, voiceless, ageless, I have only thoughts and emotions to guide me. My one connection to the world lies in the hearts of a small colony of lizards, just on the cusp of maturing. I reach out to them without hands, inspiring them to be more than what they are, shaping their bodies from visions of lost memories. But where do the memories come from? I am always left with more questions than answers. In my lonely shapeless existence the lizards cannot hear my words, and they cannot feel my touch, and I must wonder, do I even really exist? --- Called emotional, abstract, and beautiful by readers, this story is an observational account of a disembodied entity that has the power to influence and change a race of mildly intelligent lizard creatures. Memories of a previous life often serve as inspiration, but also generate questions as to whom the entity might have been before it became an Overseer. (presented in short chapters) (Thank you readers for getting my story into the top 5 ;u; ~

8 156Lesser Evil
In a perfect world, an alcoholic, hedonistic, mentally abusive individual like Audry Forge would never coincide with his attempts to stop the extinction of life. But there is no perfect world. There is no other person. Only the lesser of evils. Participant of the Royal Road Writathon challenge - 55k words Author's Note: This is story has been the easiest to write in my time of writing. I thoroughly enjoy it! You may not understand the premise in the first few chapters but need not worry buddy, I've been working ahead. Things will start rolling! I hope you enjoy it. Give me feedback and make sure to share it around! Other Info: Normally I wouldn't put any warnings but this story will be going down a pretty dark path (based on irl experiences) fairly early on. There will not be any overtly sexual content this early but some themes are suggestive. There is profanity. There are references to drugs and alcohol. There are dramatic relationships that I'm trying to base off of real life. There is more of a focus on characters. There will be unpleasant scenes in regards to death, while others will be brushed over. There will also be a fair amount of pop culture references too! Give it a try. You might like my form of storytelling!
