《Steam of Britain》Chapter 59: Bringing them Together
Advertisement
It was 1968, and the last steam powered train was being pulled across the country of Britain. At least for a while. Many engines were now lined up, and there were some that was very long.
Daniel then looked at them, and he was smiling very excitedly. "Well," said Harry, "I guess this is it." "No, it's not," said Daniel, "I've spoken with the railway board, and they, along with a special preservation organization, have made a place for you all at King's Cross!!" "What do you mean?" asked Mallard. "You're all preserved, and are about to be overhauled!!!" The engines were shocked. "What are you saying?" "You still get to work here on the rails!!" The engines were excited now. Daniel then pulled them all to the works, there, they were fitted with some new parts, and paint of their choice.
During that time, there were some diesels that were disgusted by this. They then thought of a plan. That night, while everyone was sleeping. They each went into the works, and coupled up to one of the engines. They then pulled out, carefully, but Daniel was there, and he saw everything. He blew his horn loudly, and yelled, "KIDNAPPING!!!! KIDNAPPING!!!!" The lights turned on, and everyone saw the diesels pulling the steam engines away. They were stopped, and the points switched against them, trapping them from escaping.
Every member of the railway board came, in their pajamas, and not very happy with what was happening. "What is the meaning of this!?! You have caused a disturbance!!" "We were fixing a mistake!!" said one of the diesels. "And what would that be?" "These engines!" said another, "They're old, and out of date! No steamie deserves preservation!" The railway board looked at them in anger, and the head screamed at the top of his lungs, "YOU MOTHER ************ *****, YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY DIP****S!!! AND THERE FOR, YOU LOT WILL BE SCRAPPED, AND YOU WILL NEVER BOTHER THESE ENGINES AGAIN!!!!" The diesels laughed, until one of them felt their fuel being drained. "Guys, he's not joking!" The leader then said, "BUT, WE'RE INDISPENSABLE, AND WE-" "PUT A DAMN CORK IN IT!!!" said the manager, "YOU THINK YOU'RE INDISPENSABLE, YOU'RE AS DISPOSABLE AS ANY OTHER ENGINE!!! GOOD NIGHT!!!"

The next morning, the diesel gang was hauled off by Daniel, and they were not happy about this. "I hope you're happy with yourselves!" scolded Daniel. "I bet you wanted this to happen, you little-" NO!!!" snapped Daniel, "THIS, is the result of YOUR actions, and no one else's!!! Honestly, it's engines like you all that give us diesels a bad reputation, NOT steam engines!!"
Daniel then left, and the diesels were now freaking out.
Present......
"Wow," said Tornado, "So that's what happened?" "Yes," said Max, "It was quite the ride, but we managed to get through." "And we wouldn't have been here if it wasn't for Daniel," said Duchess. "We have him to thank for us being here." The engines then fell asleep, knowing that they would be here, for years to come.

8 154Sixth Finger
Year 506. The last human empire surrenders to the Great Majin Lord and joins his cause. As the continent in its entirety is submitted to the absolute rule of an undead stories arise of inhuman creatures that led his majesty's armies to terrifying success. While the demon lord grasps the entire world in his hand, generals and comrades eleven of his most loyal and trusted serve as the extension of his will and power. Common world knows these beings only by their position's names. Fingers. Goblins goblins goblins... I hate those pesky creatures. Not smart enough to talk, but intelligent enough to kill. Well. In this world of madness where blood spills left and right fantasy creatures run rampart alongside crazed devotees of long dead gods all meanwhile the frickin Demon Lord is slowly gaining power in order to take over the world precisely without causing its immediate collapse, our little Gob will have quite a chance to find true strength and maybe even understand why humans often do stupid things for this weird word that starts with the letter "L". Who knows, maybe he will even get a better name than Gob in the process... The story is posted daily in short chapters (from 900 to 2000 words per chapter) The story is NOT an Isekai. It's a high fantasy story with isekai element's at best (Majin lord is a Majin after all). I spent some time to create a custom, magic system I hope to properly explore together with you my dear reader. So what are you doing? Go read those early chapters! The story is said to only get better after you drink it... I mean read it. Seriously. After 15 chapters you won't stop. I just feel like pointing something out. I never read "The Iron Teeth: A Goblin's Tale" which seems to be the first thing my fiction will be compared to... P.S. Cover artwork was made by my very own me (hurray me!) PM if you want something painted (no promises). I sometimes lurk in RR discord.
8 212Mecha Dragons of Mars
It's the not-too-distant future and Earth is no more; the planet was accidentally blown up by explosives expert Cole Rapp after being deemed no longer habitable. Humanity (or at least what remains of it) has relocated to nearby newly terraformed Mars to try to start anew.Other than the recent immigrants, no signs of terrestrial life have been found on the fourth rock from the sun. But recent strange sightings and unexplainable fires seem to suggest that Earthlings are not alone. Could it be Martians, mysterious and hostile? Or is it something far more dangerous?

8 172The Origins Of The Races [Español!]
Primero quiero decir que como veras esta historia esta en español ya que mi ingles es muy malo para hacer una novela. Segundo puse todas las advertencias para más libertad de expresión. En un mundo tan grande, los orígenes de las cosas pueden ser muy interesantes desde la casualidad, por Dios o por simples mortales. Al haber muchas razas cada uno tiene sus Orígenes ya sea el más débil o el más fuerte cada uno tiene su razón de estar hasta el que dicen que si se extingue mañana no pasaría nada. porque las razas no son solo un grupo de seres ellos representan una emoción o más y aunque otros pueden sentirlos no viven por ello. Vamos a ver desde el punto de vista de muchos personajes históricos de este cosmos como se origino muchas razas, hechos de culturas, tecnología, frases, facciones y demás. ¿Te atreves a leer estos mitos? Soportaras el intento inútil de Finnegan, verás como Stacy tiene una mala infancia, verás como Yare hace todo lo posible por amor aunque el sea un Yandere. Si te atreves a leerlo porque esto es solo el comienzo. Quiero decir que si quieres saber bien de qué se trata la historia con leer el prologo no basta ya que solo lo hice para dar un trasfondo a la historia y no se puede tomar muy en cuenta de cómo es la historia, si quieres saber bien cómo es lee el primer capítulo y el primer pensamiento del autor que está después del primer capítulo. La portada tiene de base una foto de Fotos de Stock por Vecteezy y editada por mi. Horario: lunes,miércoles,viernes y domingo por ahora la hora especifica está en cambios.

8 239Try Again
How do you picture the phrase, incapable of dying? Invulnerability? Invincibility? Immortality? Whatever word you choose, it seems like a useful ability to have, right? While others might think it would be great to never die, I think it might just be a curse. Would you choose to be incapable of dying if it meant that every time you were going to die you just restarted your whole life all over again?
