《The Land of Stories: The Adventure Continues》Mother and Son

Matthew and Carrie walked up the stairs of the university.
"Carrie try and text them again please." Matthew said.
"Ok, I think it will work here." Carrie said. She took out her phone and typed...
"Hi Scott. My brother and sister and I took our Dad to see his sister. We'll be back Saturday. Please tell Henry." Scott soon texted her back saying. "Ok I will. Also why does it say you are texting me from the year 2025?"
Carrie decided not to answer him back. She didn't want to explain the long story to him, and she didn't even know if he would believe her.
"Ok Matt I told him. Let's find Mom, so we can save Dad." Carrie said walking into the University.
"Mom has to be around here somewhere. Do you think we'll recognize her?" Matthew asked.
"I think we would." Carrie and Matthew looked around and saw lots of students and teachers but not their mom. Matthew then tapped a teacher on the shoulder.
"Hey, do you know a girl named Bree Bailey?" Matthew asked him.
"Well, I know a Conner Bailey. He was in my class last year. I do know he is dating Bree Campbell. Is that who you mean?"
"Yes, he does. Do you know where she is?" Carrie asked.
"Yes, she should be getting out of class right now." The teacher said. "Oh there she is. The blond with the ponytail with bangs, on her phone."
"Thank you so much." Matthew said. The two walked over to her, they were like 5 feet away from her when they stopped. Tears formed in Matthew's eyes. He hadn't seen his mom in a little less than a year, and a bunch of memories started to flow through his brain.
Matthew sat on the kitchen table doing his homework struggling with his kindergarten homework. He tried to do it himself, but it just never worked. Matthew didn't like school, and he was for sure he'd fail if it wasn't for his mothers help.
"Hey bud, what are you doing it's Saturday. I'm taking your sister to the movies to see that new princess movie, do you want to come?" Conner said walking over to Matthew.
"Dad, why would I want to see a princess movie? I want to see that new superhero movie." Matthew said.

"Hey I do too, believe me." Conner said. "But I promised I would take your sister to the movies, if she got a hundred on her test, and she did."
"If I get a hundred on my spelling test this week will you take me to see the movie?" Matthew asked.
"Of course I will." Conner said.
"Daddy let's go! The movies going to start in an hour." Elizabeth said running down the stairs.
"We have to wait for mom to get home. We can't leave Matt here alone."
"Where is mom?" Matthew asked.
"She went to take Carrie to the doctor to get her shots." Conner said.
"Dad, why did you and mom have to have another baby?" Matthew asked.
"Yeah, wasn't I enough?" Elizabeth asked.
"You mean weren't we enough? We're only a year apart." Matthew said.
"No I meant me?" Elizabeth said and smiled.
"Come here Elizabeth." Conner said and sat down at the table. Elizabeth walked over and sat on her dads lap. "We had this same conversation a year ago remember? You know that mommy and I will always love you the exact same way we always have. But we have always said we wanted a big family, and we wanted you to have another little brother or sister."
"But that makes me the loser forgotten middle kid." Matthew said.
"Hey, your not the loser forgotten middle kid!"
"But that's what everyone says. The middle kid is always the one who is forgotten." Matthew said.
"Hey whoever said that is wrong. Being the middle kid is great! Your not the youngest and your not the oldest. It's perfect."
"Yeah being the oldest kid is hard. It's hard bossing you around." Elizabeth said. Matthew sighed and rolled his eyes.
"Well I wanted a baby brother, not a sister." Matthew said.
"Well, hey maybe mommy and I will have another baby, and maybe it'll be a boy." Conner said.
"Really! Can I have a brother?" Matthew said. "Because right now we're in a house full of girls."
"That's the way it should be. Girls rule!" Elizabeth said and put her fist in the air.
"Hey everyone, we're home." Bree said with 2 year old Carrie in her arms.
"Hey mommy, are you going to have another baby?" Elizabeth asked.

"Well, I don't know, maybe. Hey aren't you two supposed to be at a movie?" Bree said.
"Yes we were just leaving." Conner said as they walked towards the door. "Might want to talk to Matt, he seems a little down."
Bree nodded and walked over to the table and sat next to him with Carrie still in her arms.
"Hey, what's wrong?" Bree asked.
"I feel like I have nothing going for me. I'm not smart like you, I'm not creative like Dad. So what am I supposed to be when I grow up?"
"Why do you think your not smart and not creative? Your only 4, you have so much time to think about what your going to be." Bree said.
"So I don't have to be a writer, or whatever you are."
Bree laughed and smiled at her son. "I'm a Senator for the United States of America, you'll learn more about my job when your older, and no you don't have too. You could be an artist, you could be a firefighter and save people. Matt there are so many things you could be. Some jobs don't even exist yet and you could be the one to create them."
"Really! I thought I had to be what you are."
"No, of course not, you can be whatever you want to be." Bree said and smiled.
"Thanks mom." Matthew said and hugged her and his little sister. "And I wouldn't mind if you had another baby...as long as it's a boy."
Bree chuckled and smiled at her son. "Right now, I am perfectly fine with you, and Elizabeth, and Carrie. Also your father. I think our family is complete."
Matt and Carrie stood there, but Bree didn't notice them, becuase she was too drilled into her phone.
"What do we start with? Oh hey we're your kids from the future?" Carrie whispered.
"I don't know. But definitely not that." Matthew said. He tapped her on the shoulder and Bree turned around and looked at them.
"Hi, are you Bree Campbell?" Matthew asked.
"Yes, I am. Can I help you?" She asked.
"Um, we're not really sure what to say. But what would you think if we said we were your children?" Matthew said.
"I would think your crazy." Bree said and looked at them like they were crazy.
"What my brother is trying to explain is that we're from the future. To be specific, 2080." Carrie said.
"Ok, is this a joke? Did my boyfriend put you up to this?" Bree said.
"Um no. We're telling the truth." Carrie said.
"Listen! It's been a really weird day, we've fallen into a book, seen a ghost, got beat up by a unicorn, flew through portal, and I have ripped my $500 dollar jeans! So I'm not in a good mood right now!" Matthew yelled.
"Ok, ok dude chill. Wait did you say unicorn and portal?" Bree asked. Carrie and Matthew nodded. "Come with me."
The three walked out of the university and down the stairs. Bree soon spotted Conner, with Elizabeth and Charlie.
"Conner Johnathan Bailey, what did you do?" Bree said and crossed her arms.
"I didn't do anything. They came here by themselves, with help from my grandmother." Conner said. "Listen they say something has happened in their time in the Fairytale World, and they need our help.
Bree sighed and looked at the ground. She really didn't want this to happen right now. She had just started to study for her masters degree and she needed to focus. Bree and Conner haven't seen a crisis in years and now there is one, it just wasn't the right time for it to be happening.
"Bree if you don't want to come that's fine. Alex, and the rest of us can handle it." Conner said.
"Hell no. There's no way your leaving me out of this. I'll just tell my teachers there's been a family emergency and I have to go home."
"Ok then. Oh yeah this is apparently our oldest daughter Elizabeth and her daughter our granddaughter Charlie." Conner said.
"Nice to meet you, and I'm not really sure who these two are, but this one here likes to complain and yell a lot." Bree said and pointed to Matthew.
"The one who complains a lot is your middle child Matthew, and the red headed girl if your favorite child Carrie." Elizabeth said.
"Are we going to get Aunt Alex?" Charlie asked.
"Yes we are. All we have to do it go back to our apartment. I have something there to get us to where she is." Conner said.

Extant Expanse
The answer to an overpopulated, unemployed, robot replaced, under-resourced, power crisis, climate crisis, a poverty-stricken world, where the few have and most have not? It took a few decades of technology development, a few genius minds, and a few corporate takeovers, and a planet in crisis. Yet that answer should be obvious. * * * This is a first time writing attempt. I have no idea what's going to happen or where this story is headed. I simply had an idea for a story I wanted to explore. Fanfiction elements. I hope to release monthly, no guarantees though. * * * Unknown Cover Art
8 87The Gothamite
Following his parents’ brutal murder, a young man sets out to find justice against a system and city that makes decent men feel the need to turn to crime. But when a man with godlike abilities arrives, he’ll need to investigate – and possibly intervene – on behalf of humanity. THE GOTHAMITE is a BATMAN-centric sidequel to The Metropolitan Man, by Alexander Wales, though it is intended to be able to stand on its own. Content Warnings will be posted alongside new chapters, which will be published weekly on Thursdays (however, since this is just now being uploaded to Royal Road, I'll be publishing a chapter every day until it's caught up with the other places it's hosted. For now, enjoy the first two chapters and the first of the Origin Stories).
8 79Hero's Resort
The story takes place in the generic setting of heroes, demons, monsters, magic, advanced lost civilizations, and all the between. Except, what we're actually focusing on, is the 'normal' life of a hot spring owner. Ch 4 100% done proofread 50%(Being dyslexic expect some, hiccups down the road.)

A collection of my Reddit's Writing Prompts replies. This is a cleaned collection of various prompts I have replied to over the years. Some will just have grammar and spelling corrected. Others will get expanded. Some are simple, especially my early ones. Many of the later submissions are a complete short story. Most are just a self-contained story, but I will carry over the existing ideas if the prompt inspires something. Though I hope that some will become more than a simple prompt submission. https://old.reddit.com/r/SilverLuckyScriptures/ Moved over to Royal Roads as the UI is superior for naviation and enjoyment.
