I couldn't wait to see the children's faces! I heard the night guard walk in as I powered off then restarted as I heard screaming children rushing into the building. Only a few minutes it had took for the kids to find me. They crowded around my pink curtains that had a sign reading I peeked out my curtain to see about seven children gathered around and that's when the curtain opened. "Arrr kids, welcome to Kid's Cove where the only treasure is....fun and games! Feel like telling the kids one of your famous pirate stories, Green?" "Aye , Aye captain Toy Foxy!" The parrot answered, swooping down to a almost-invisible sensor that guided the parrot so he could only fly where the sensors were at; including one on Toy Foxy's shoulder. I sat down on my little stage, listening to Green's story when a boy about 5 with ginger hair and freckles wondered up to me. "Hey there cutie, what's your name?" I cooed. "Can I take off your hook?" I was surprised and held my hook with my other hand. "Wha-um Sorry kid but this hook has to stay on me..." shortly kids began ignoring Green's story and crowded around me, starting to pull my hook off, and my bow tie that was tied around my neck. Someone accidentally pulled off my whole arm when they pulled my hook off! "OWW!" I protested. "That-That hurts!" If I could tear up I would. Suddenly I wasn't so happy about seeing these kids anymore, I was scared...No...Terrified! Green swooping upon my shoulder, I ran into Kid's Cove, closing the curtain as the children were outside the curtain with my hook, whole right arm! bow tie, and my hat.
"Ho-how could they do this!" I had dropped my accent long ago, to angry at the Toy's. "Face it Foxy...we're old..." Bonnie whispered. I turned on him, growling. "You don't even have a face!" Chica growled at him and stood over to comfort Bonnie. "Lay off Foxy." She commanded and as her purple eyes pierced into my gold ones he huffed and leaned against a wall. Freddy was the only quiet one of the group as of right now. Suddenly I looked up from the floor when a certain yellow bear appeared in the room. Freddy immediately jumped up and looked over at his friend. "Golden Freddy!? What are you doing here?" The golden bear was also withered but Foxy recalled that Mari could repair the withered, returning Golden to his normal state also. "You think your so safe here..." he muttered. We all stared at him in confusion and he rolled his dark eyes. "This isn't a threat but rather a warning...something terrible is coming but I can not speak of his name. I dare not speak it..." he trailed off at the last part, his ears dropping down in sorrow then perked up ad he turned to me.

"So how are the toy's?" He randomly asked. "Jerks!" I growled, clinching my fists, striking the wall with my hook. Well not all of them. He thought, thinking of a familiar female fox. Golden Freddy nodded in understanding and was suddenly gone after giving a look to Freddy. I've always kind of wondered why Goldie and Freddy were so close, almost like brothers. "Well we can come out now." Freddy pushed open the door to see the Toy's also stretching after a long day.
I pushed open the lid of my box and climbed out. Stupid night guard. I thought but I couldn't let that get in my way now. Walking out I seen the toy's and the Withered staring both at me. "What?" I asked. "Will you fix us?" Chica pleaded then Toy Chica spoke up. "Why help them! They are old and useless." Then the animatronics started breaking out in a humongous argument.
"Bird-brain!"
"I'll smash your blue head in with your own guitar!"
"Puppet would never help you guys!"
I couldn't take it anymore. "STOP!" I shouted furiously making them all freeze immediately, staring at me once again. I rubbed my temples and walked over and sat down on the stage. Suddenly it was like all I could see was the withered standing there, pleading. Foxy, Bonnie, Freddy, Chica, and Golden Freddy... I hopped up and shook my head to see Goldie actually standing there. "G-Goldie?" I asked.
All of the animatronics looked at me but I didn't care. Freddy looked at me weirdly. "You know each other?" He asked. "Of course..." Golden Freddy trailed off, his voice glitching.
I sat and cried without any actual tears, because by the end of the day the kids managed to tear me "H-help!" I shouted but my voice box was very staticky. I sat and, if animatronics could cry, I would have cried right there and then even if they didn't care about me because I didn't need

I had wandered off after Puppet sat on the stage. I notice one animatronic missing, Toy Foxy! "Toy Foxy?" I called into Kid's Cove. Static started up, getting louder and I flattened my blue ears and eyed the pink curtain. Cautiously making my way toward the curtain I tugged it open and gasped, covering my mouth. Toy Foxy was torn to parts! "MARIONETTE!" I screeched and quickly he came, the others following him, Goldie appearing in the room. "Oh my..." Mari trailed off and bent to his knees to pick up Toy Foxy, not even asking what happened. They...ThEy-c.c.c.c...alled me MAngLE!" The last word came out more of a screech and Puppet had to flinch a little as being so close to Toy Foxy's broken voice box.
He looked around as the other animatronics stared in shock. "Ma-Mangle...." Foxy whispered as Marionette pushed his way through them, staring gravely as he went.
I lay a hand on a Foxy's shoulder as he tried to follow Mari and Mangle. "Give Marionette some time to repair her." He muttered.
Foxy felt sorry for Goldie as he could only speak quietly without glitching out. I turned to him and breathed in a big breath. "How do you know Puppet?" Golden Freddy hesitated as the others turned to him expectantly. "Puppet is older then any of the other Toy's because he was shut off then turned back on." Freddy spoke up. "So you mean he was actually there when we had a restaurant?" Golden Freddy nodded and looked over at Freddy. "Remember what I told you..." he warned before disappearing. I couldn't help but think something was fishy, to fishy.

Living With Magic
Arthur, a young magician, is struggling with crippling social anxiety. The issue has reached a point where he likely won't graduate from University. Reaching a crossroads, he must decide whether to try and return to a family he despises or make his own path in the world. Is the magical power he has actually beneficial in the real world? Authors Note: I'm terrible at writing a synopsis, but over time I hope to write a better one. One of my favorite series of books is the Magicians by Lev Grossman and I hope to follow that same line of thinking within my story. How would a society built around magic actually exist and is power and magic actually as great as other stories make it out to be? The story and characters will be completely original and I will try to update the story on a regular basis. Also, any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

I'm Always Talking to Myself
My name is Zach. I’m a typical bland featureless protagonist type. The kind of guy who has purposefully few defining characteristics so that people can project whatever they want on me. Like Luke from Star Wars or what’s her name from Twilight. Most main characters are like me. Kind of flavorless blank slates because we all secretly doubt that we’re Harrison Ford, but pretty much anyone could be Mitt Romney. Yep. Yes indeed, I do spend basically my entire life running an internal dialog to no one. Usually I’m imagining that there are people listening. Like maybe philosophers from Ancient Greece, or researchers from another planet who act suspiciously like the characters from that Instagram comic with the aliens. Stupid Instagram comedians stealing my internal monologue and turning into a wildly successful enterprise which I would imagine has a vibrant merch dropshipping arm and hundreds of thousands of daily dopamine hits for loyal followers. I basically spend all of my time explaining random things to imaginary people (and aliens, and animals, and household items which have inexplicably gained sentience and frankly have some concerns about this whole existence thing). Honestly, it’s both highly entertaining to me, in that it makes me think about why we humans do all of the bizarre things that we do, but also horrifically exhausting and kind of makes you feel like you’re either, worst cast, losing your grip on reality, or best case, becoming Abed from Community. Anyway, I’m sure that I have some distinguishing characteristics, but, in the interest of hypnotic suggestion I’m choosing to omit them until I’m pretty sure that you have subconsciously come to identify with me, or until I feel like it. (By the way, in case I forgot to mention it, a higher power called Aww Thor or something told me to say that this is a slice-of-life comedy adventure and that it's set in a fantasy world with isekai and LitRPG elements.)

Shadowrun: The Wild Fire Tales
Shadowrun: The Wild Fire Tales is a web novel based on the Shadowrun tabletop RPG and video games. It tells the story of one Leon Eagles, formerly known as "Wild Fire", a quick and deadly gunslinger regarded as one of the best "shadowrunners" in North America. If you need someone to perform jobs in the shadows of society such as bodyguard duty, espionage, or even murder, Leon Eagles is the man to call. Together with his allies Sylvia Morrow and Brandon Rivers, Leon fights week-to-week to survive in a world of arcane magic and cutting-edge technology, a world of corporate suits and fire-breathing hellhounds, and a world where some of its biggest ever surprises are still yet to come...... This is my first web novel, brought over from ScribbleHub, and any comments and feedback are appreciated. Unique terms or further in-universe history for those unfamiliar to Shadowrun will be explained upon request, or you can check the ScribbleHub glossary here: https://www.scribblehub.com/series/297362/shadowrun-the-wild-fire-tales/glossary/. I hope non-Shadowrun fans become interested in the Shadowrun world at large, and I hope Shadowrun fans are entertained by my take on this great in-game universe!
