《Please...Wake Up》Words Really Do Hurt.
Advertisement
Leonardo had gone to far today. He finally crossed the line. Weren't they passed this? Hadn't they already argued and threw stuff at each other already? Screamed, cursed cried, shouted until they couldn't say another word, they've thrown things, broke things, threw fist. Hadn't they hurt each other enough?
It was stupid. How it all began, how fast it went to blue to red. How over a small amount of time the only thing they had with each other blew up in their faces. How much time and love they shared, blew away in the wind from their screams. How it broke when they threw punches. How it's cracked because it got so cold. How it vanished. Like a stone sinking to the bottle of the river.
How much it hurt. What happened? Why was there so much violence all of a sudden. Please wake me up...please. I can't take this nightmare. What was going to happen. He was right. Raphael knew this. But did he have to say? Did he have to scream it to the world? Leo why? Was is just a game..? Did he love him at all?
Why would you hurt me?! Raphael knew the words he said were true. He knew all a long but he needed to have Leo say it himself. "For her? OUT OF ALL THE PEOPLE LEO! WHY?!" Leo knew what he said was wrong "because..I still love her." Like a bullet had pierced through his lung he dropped to his knees.
He couldn't breath. Couldn't see. He had to run. All he ever had with Leo was nothing, he couldn't NEVER forgive him. He could never look at him again. Raphael took off his mask and let it drop to the floor. He didn't know what to do anymore. He looked at his love one last time. Then let the wind take him away.

Everything was muffled. Raphael ran fast. He had to find someone who he could trust. Someone who would keep him off the ledge. His best friend.
Tonight was proof that
words really can
hurt.

Save me from this nightmare.

The Ascendant: Endless Reincarnation
My name is Richard Brooks. I died while saving a kid. Kicking the bucket at 28 was really depressing, you know? There’s so much I still wanted to do. But instead of passing on, I was thrust into an endless series of reincarnations. Whenever I die, I earn Karma points based on my achievements and growth. These points can be exchanged for weapons, spells, or other bonuses to make my next lives more interesting. “What kills me only makes me stronger!” Or something like that. Honestly, it feels like I’m stuck in an RPG. The difficulty setting can be pretty ridiculous too. Sometimes all I can do is grit my teeth in frustration as I die an ignoble death. But I won’t complain. Even when it’s dangerous and painful, I love life. This is all an opportunity; I’ll do my best, no matter what kind of sadistic fate the System throws at me. I will swing the warhammer of justice! Craft and enhance the most amazing artifacts! Overwhelm opponents with a barrage of auto-casting spells! Lead powerful vassals in Domain wars! All for the sake of creating an eternal sanctuary. With my unique power of Runecrafting, maybe I’ll even become strong enough one day to overturn fate… or at least find out what the hell is really going on. It might take a few hundred or a thousand lifetimes, but what’s the rush? I have all the time in the world now. (Note: R15+ This is the work of a very inexperienced author with a full time job. Please expect an erratic release schedule.)

Vigilantes Make Us Safe: Rebel Rebel
When the world was on the brink in the 1940s a group of men and women with uncommon ability pulled the world from the brink. They inspired generations to come and led to a golden age of vigilantes protecting the world. Times change. By the early 2000s almost nowhere was willing to tolerate unregulated men and women dispensing their own form of justice. The dawn of the internet made operating in the shadows virtually impossible. Everyone thought the days of vigilantes were done but presidential candidate Richard Hughes, riding a wave of populism, has promised to bring these men and women into the light and empower them to keep us all safe. The passing of the Vigilantes Making Us Safe Act changes everything. All teenagers feel like they don’t fit in at times. Ryaan Asfour knows the feeling well. As part of an immigrant family in a country turning against immigrants, there’s a lot of people who don’t think he belongs. The election of Richard Hughes and the passage of the Vigilantes Making Us Safe Act hasn’t helped matters. Suddenly anyone who wants to discriminate can just say they’re keeping people safe and do whatever they want. Sudden popularity at school after hitting a game winning shot makes it even more apparent how much he doesn’t fit in with the rest of his world. A clash with a pair of vigilantes on his way home from school puts things in perspective. What can Ryaan do to protect his family and his neighborhood? Vigilantes Making Us Safe will follow a variety of lead characters including Serenity, Toxic, Hitbox, the Rebel and more. I'll keep the cover image and title updated to reflect the current protagonist but I encourage you to check them all out.
