"I cannot believe we're actually doing this. This doesn't feel normal...Dan." I ignore Lana and look at my parents door. I don't think neither of us wants to be here right now. "I know it's well fucking odd but we're going to have to tell them at some point." The reason why I'm so nervous is that I know I'm gonna get get embarrassed. Lana is the woman who I cheated with...and now she is my girlfriend. My parents know that I've cheated on Maisie but they don't know who with...and now they're going to.
We can necessarily lie and say we just met each other because for starters that would be weird and secondly - Maisie knows now. Maisie and my parents are still close apparently. It's no shit Maisie would've told mum my partners name, especially since my own mum lives for all of the gossip.
"Telling then two months after your daughters death is not the fucking right thing to do!" Lana loudly whispers while I throw my eyes backwards. "Never is literally going to be the fucking right time. Can you not make me anymore anxious? Jesus." Even the woman who I slept with behind my ex's back is complaining about me being a chest. I get that I'm a bad person...but is it really worth reminding me every twenty fucking seconds.
I can't breathe.
"If I get murdered by your mum before I find out what happens in that film I still want to watch then I'm going to fucking haunt you." Okay. So I laugh. I mean who cannot crack a smile at Lana's shitty jokes. "Laugh all you want but I'm still going to possess the shit out of you." I think she's joking?

Whatever. She's weird. I'm weird. And we're about to do something weird. "So are we gonna stare at the door all day or are we going to knock or-" before Lana can continue to talk the door opens. Both of us, who didn't even ring the doorbell, jump back startled. "Jesus fucking Christ., Dan. We thought you was a murderer! Why can't you be normal for once in your life and ring the bell without giving mum a heart attack?" I don't even bother answering that question. I just shrug.
"And...who is this?" Dad points to Lana.
I take a deep breath in. "This is Lana. She's my...girlfriend..." Dad's eyes widen for half a second before he turns around. He doesn't seem impressed. "Close the door behind you." He almost grunts as he walks into the living room. Lana besides me has a stupid smile on her face - my dad is her kind of person. She likes weirdos. "Seriously?" I can't help but laugh as I walk in first while she follows me after I lock the door, of course.
Me and Lana then walk into living room. Mum doesn't get up out of her seat. Instead she remains sitting down, dad sits down besides her. "Who is this?" Is the first thing to come out of her mouth.
Lana looks at me wearily. I'm not sure if she even wants to be here in the room that smells of cinnamon...with my parents. I wouldn't either. "Hi...Mrs Smith" Lana smiles as she walks up to the sofa. "I'm Lana Knight." Mum already is scolding Lana. It's unfair. I was the one who ruined my relationship with Maisie, sure Lana didn't help but it was all my fault. Lana is the genuinely kindest person alive.

"I'm Dan's...girlfriend, it's lovely to finally meet you and Mr Smith." Hopefully there might be a slim possibility that my parents like her? Maisie called them by their actual names from the start. Compared to Lana...Maisie was sort of as you would say 'unclassy'.
"Are we the first ones you've told since...what happened a few months back?" I nod my head, even though I'm not sure that Lana might've told her aunt. Lana lived on a manor estate back when she was little. She had a really wealthy upbringing, her parents aren't dead or anything - she just hates them. So much so that her aunt brought her up on that estate.
Mum then looks away.
"He'll probably chest again. Do you know that?" Lana immediately looks at me as my eyes widen. "I'm not. Like. This is it...forever." I never really thought about having a relationship with Maisie in the future - if I did I didn't really mean it. Me and her got along so well that...it was a bore. Our whole relationship was shit and only revolved around Bee, whereas Lana...she makes every day feel brand new and exciting. I'll never be able to predict what will come out of her mouth next. She's dreamy and incredible. I fucking love her.
"Mrs Smith, I won't let that happen. But thank you for your...warning." She's only jealous that Lana isn't her adorable Maisie.
I hope she'll warm up to her...over time.

The Dungeon Traveler
I spent most of my life trying to get by with whatever happiness I could, that included alcohol, food, and porn.My death was unpleasant and humiliating. However, death is something we all need to go through. A bit like a proctology exam; necessary but never anything one wants to go through while it's happening.However, death was supposed to be the end of it. Either way, the pain, suffering, and failures were supposed to be over. I was supposed to wink out, or perhaps take a trip to a lovely afterlife!No, I ended up as a small stone, strapped to a table, while a pimple-faced teenager rubbed my facets and told me how 'lovely' I was. Last time I checked, birth wasn't supposed to be as embarrassing as death!Life as a dungeon core isn't all bad. I like watching lizard love triangles and snooping on militaristic dwarves; though there is that issue where I'm trying to free myself from the entanglements of the Gods....ok, yeah that last one is a bit of a problem. Completed and available on Amazon

8 278A Fractured Song
Just because you’re transported to another world, doesn’t mean you’ll escape from your pain. Abused by her parents, thirteen-year-old Frances only wants to be safe and for her life not to hurt so much. And when she and her class are transported to the magical world of Durannon to fight the monsters invading the human kingdoms and defeat the self-titled Demon King, Frances is presented with a golden opportunity. If she succeeds, Frances will have the home she never had. If she fails, Frances will be summoned back to the home she escaped. Yet, despite her newfound magic and friends, Frances finds that trauma is not so easily lost. She is dogged by her abuse and its physical and invisible scars. Not only does she have to learn magic, she has to survive the nightmares of her past, and wrestle with her feelings of doubt and self-loathing. If she can heal from her trauma, though, she might be able to defeat the Demon King and maybe, just maybe, she can find a home for herself.

8 81The Reborn Otaku's Code of Practice for the Apocalypse
Lacking a pocket dimension, lacking a power, lacking a thigh to hug onto and the three life advantages (money, power, and looks), he had been cautiously living in the apocalypse for ten full years, getting closer to falling into the zombies' mouths, but unexpectedly he had the bad luck to be caught in a fight between two gangs and die, it really left people feeling disappointed. But when he opened his eyes, he had returned to a decade ago, three months before the apocalypse! Like before he still lacked an ability, an ordinary person without a pocket dimension, but he did have ten full years of experience in living in the apocalypse! Even if he didn't fight zombies, didn't hunt monsters, he could still live a careful farming life in the safe zone. Find a safe house, utilize all kinds of skills from his previous life to farm in exchange for meat, and if possible, find a person to peacefully spend the rest of his life with; ordinary people had their own ordinary little pieces of happiness. Originally believing he had picked up a beauty he returned home to prepare a golden house, but on the contrary he was the one being pushed down;someone once said, whether it is people or matters, by no means can you only look at the surface!This is not my work.
