Silence is Suicide.
Chapter Sixteen.
The little bell dinged as Jeremy and I walked into the small shop.
"Aye! Jeremy!" a short, chubby old man happily greeted my new friend. He noticed me standing behind Jeremy.
"Who's this?" the old man turned to me, "in for a tattoo or piercing?" he laughed a hearty laugh.
Jeremy chuckled. "Nahh, this is my buddy, Emerson. He's just going to chill with me today. That okay Pops?"
"Ahh, hello Emerson. You can call me Pops if you'd like." Jeremy's father smiled at me. He turned back to his son, "That's fine... but we're going to have to put this little guy to work." He looked back at me and laughed a friendly laugh.
"Thanks Pops." Jeremy said patting his father on the back. He started to walk toward the back room, motioning for me to follow him.
"When Pops said he needs you to do some work, he means it. First I'm going to have you sterilize the needles. When you're done with that, come and find me and I'll give you another task to do." Jeremy grabbed a large bottle of sterilization formula, a few small towels, and lead me toward the needles.
Jeremy showed me how to properly clean each instrument. He made it clear that I thoroughly clean each instrument. He watched me clean the first one and praised me while patting me on the back.
He let me work on my own for awhile.
Jeremy must get his homely character from his father. They're both very kind people... from what I know so far.
I finally finished with the sterilization 45 minutes later and began to search for Jeremy. He was sitting in the back room getting all the inks ready.

"All done bro?" he said after he noticed me.
I nodded.
"Great. Now I'll have you sweep outside the shop then inside." he got up and handed me a broom. I pivoted and headed outside.
I began to sweep outside and watched all the people walk past. I got a few glares and some people rolled their eyes at me. I loathe the looks I always get and who knows why they give me those glares. I became annoyed and decided it was time to sweep on the inside of the shop.
Jeremy's father whistled a tune from behind the counter. "Slow day here." he said quietly to himself. "Although, we should have some kid coming here for a tattoo soon."
I continued to sweep. A few moments later, the little bell on top of the door rang.
"I'm here for my appointment." a male voice stated.
The bell dinged again.
"Emerson...?" a familiar female voice quietly said a few seconds after she walked in.

A Broken World [Rewrite]
In a world of floating islands of stone in the sky, where rivers flow through the air and defy gravity from one island to another, and ancient ruins can be found containing wonders beyond what can be produced by the lands current inhabitants- a millenia long war rages. In the distant past, beyond recorded history, when the crown of humanity's glory, the city of Uri, had stood whole against the enroaching demon swarms- even as hope seemed lost, a band of heroes, against all odds, managed to steal powerful magical knowledge from the demons. With the demon's forbidden knowledge, in the heart of Uri a new ritual was made. Called, "The Millenial Summoning," the ritual had the power to call a being from another world that would have the power to change the world forever. The first being summoned became known as "The Speaker," and he brought the power of the Gods to the world. With the blessings and power of the new priests, the unstoppable demon hordes were finally halted. A thousand years later, the ritual was used again and "The First Sorceress" was brought to the world. She brought the knowledge of advanced magics, and techniques to find and refine magical talent. With the magic power now added to the battlefield, the stalemate was broken. And for the first time, the demons were pushed back. Another thousand years later, and all of humanites hope for a final victory were dashed. Traitors slew the ritual's participants and took their places, and humanity quaked as The Demon King stepped into the world. His name, his nature, where he came from none of these are known, but what is known is his overwhelming power and his brilliant strategic leadership of the formerly formless hordes. Still, despite their position being even more dire than it has ever been since history has been recorded, humanity held on for another thousand years. Aided, thankfully, by The Demon King not taking the field after the first few years and battles. Now, the ritual is being cast again and a new hero is being summoned. In our world, after nearly three decades of study and hard work, Lucas Jaeger is making his dreams come true. With a double doctorate in both genetics and microbiology, as well as an associates degree in accounting, he has finally, after nearly driving himself mad from stress and sick from overwork, been able to put to together a presentation and ask for a business loan. His long time dream, earned by his own blood and sweat, to start his own commercial genetic company is finally coming to fruition. Lucas's car never left the banks parking lot and Lucas was never seen again in our world. This is a rewrite of "A Broken World." It is basically the same story, just a thousand times better and with decent length chapters!

Devil's Basement: Colony Ragnarok
Far beneath the surface of a planet wrapped in a toxic atmosphere, competing political ideologies stare each other down over a heavily militarised line that cuts through the city on their border.

In this claustrophobic environment, those who desire peace must act quickly or these tunnels will collapse in the fires of war. _____ This story is based on a role-playing map game I GM'd awhile ago. The four main characters are based on the four players from that map game, and the general sequence of events follows the game as well. Cover art: inncect (formerly astrxphoria) from wattpad.com, where this story was first published.
