《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 Bounty Hunter's War
Soldier. Survivor. Killer. Hunter. Legend. Hero. In truth, Jhena Cuuhl was but a drifter, wandering her way across the stars, plying her skills to the highest bidder. Little more than a weapon without a wielder, cutting her way through an uncaring galaxy. And then everything changed. A strange message crossing her eyes. The boundary between worlds collapsing. Death and destruction raining from above the skies, deadly creatures spilling out from beneath the ground. A catastrophe engulfing the entire universe. And so the galaxy turns to her, and places its fate in her hands. One last mission. One last chance. Can one woman save the universe? A System invades novel set in a Sci-fi universe. SciFi vs. Fantasy! Technically LitRPG but we won't see the MC's status much for story reasons. My entry for the June 2022 Royal Road Community Magazine Contest. Now complete at 15,653 words!
8 179Puppet Lord
In the year 2142, humanity’s technology has developed to the point of cybernetic and neural implants. People all have neural receptors attached to the brains, allowing for unfettered, 24 hour a day, global access to the neural net. A string of attempted break ins to a secure facility has authorities scratching their heads. Every few days, a new person is caught trying to force their way through checkpoints, reinforced doors, and cyber security. None of the perpetrators have any criminal history, and all are seemingly unconnected. Their methods are random, and worst of all, none of them have the foggiest idea why they there in the first place. Detective Jon Peld finally finds the common thread linking all the perps together, a vr mmo known as Istrius. Mind jacking is an outdated crime, one thought to have been completely eliminated centuries ago as the neural implant tech was perfected, but all the pieces fit. He can't convince his boss though, so there's only one thing left to do: investigate from the inside.

Many people say that vengeance is a sin, but is it really? Vengeance can be a drive, a desire, and a motivation for some people like Ye Meng. Orphan Ye Meng has always been an ordinary slightly talented alchemist and cultivator until he gets power far more than he ever expected. Watch how he climbs to the peak of the martial world while going through countless tribulations and calamities. He pays back all who have wronged him ten times over and now begins to live a life that's a bit more than ordinary.
