I open my eyes with a bright white light stinging them. I look to my left and see Lawan sitting in a chair next to me sleeping. I sit up and look around the room.
Hospital
I hang my legs over the bed and try to stand up.
"Ow!" I yell out in pain. I sit right back down. My whole body is aching.
"You okay?!" Lawan said immediately getting up and walking in front of me.
"My whole body hurts. REAL BAD."
"I'm finna go get the nurse." He said starting to walk towards the door.
"And don't try to stand up again." He said before leaving out.
I lay back down and stare at the ceiling in thought.
I think about the last thing I remember happening. I touch my side and felt a bandage on it.
Who the fuck was dem people?
What da hell I do to dem?
How they know where to find me?
I had so many questions that I wanted answers to.
Taking me outta my thoughts, a nurse came in. She gave me a check up, told me they had to give me stitches because of how deep the stab wound was, and that I had to stay about two more days. She gave me pain medicine after that and left.
"How long I been here?" I asked Lawan.
"Two days." He said.
"Mm."
"How I get here?" I asked him.
"I got a call from you, but you didn't say anything, so I called India. She went over to yo house, but nobody was there." He explained.
"How did you find me tho?" I asked him.
"She called Na Na who put your brother on the phone. He told us where yo location said you were." He said.

"He was about to go over to you himself, but he was way too far to get there, so I went. I found you laying there. Knocked out and covered in blood and bruises." He said looking down with a sad expression.
Must've been traumatizing to see.
"Who did that shit to you? Why?" He asked me.
"I don't even know. I couldn't even see ghee. They pepper sprayed me."
He looked at me with a very concerned expression.
There was just a moment of silence before Mere busted in the room.
He immediately pulled me into a tight hug.
"Not too much now. You gon pop the stitches." He lets go.
"My bad." He said rubbing the back of his head.
"I've had real bad anxiety since the moment I knew something had happened. I'm mad I couldn't come sooner." He said.
"Tell me what happened." He said.
I told him all I remembered and his face went from concerned to angry.
"You see who did it?" He asked.
"No. The pepper spray had my eyes stinging bad."
"Fuck!" He yelled standing up and walking around.
"I shouldn't have left you alone." He said.
"I mean you gotta work, and I'm basically grown. Imma be on my own sometimes."
"You know I'm not finna leave you alone nomo right? And you not aloud at night unless I know where you gon be and approve of who you gon be with." He said.
I smacked my lips.
Just when I was starting to get some freedom.
"For yo safety." He said.
"I know. I know."
"Say." He said turning to Lawan.
"Yea?" Lawan said.
"Thank you, for real." Mere said holding his hand out.
"Of course. I'm just relieved I made it in time." He said grabbing his hand and shaking it.

Dungeon Core/Realm Heart
Dao Lord Brandr has cheated death many times over the millennia, enough to know that this time he should have died. There was just no surviving what had happened to him. Fortunately or unfortunately, he did. Well... that depends on what you call surviving really. His body is gone and so is pretty much all of his mighty cultivation base. To add to this, he has suffered severe damage to his soul and as if that wasn't bad enough he's lost, far away from any world he knows and maybe even his universe. Now, he's just learned from a being called a sprite that he's some sort of sentient mystic realm called a dungeon and that just for the crime of existing, there would be legions of enemies planning to pillage and destroy him. It's okay though. Apparently, he can make legions of his own. Seeing what he has to work with, Brandr decides that perhaps, all is not lost after all...

Doctored Chance: The Unpleasant Preceding of "Pajama Boy" and What Drove Him to Murder
I, Mick Chadwick, regret to inform my readers that this memoir contains nothing but the truth, which in the case of Tobias MacClain, most ridiculed as Pajama Boy, is far from pleasant. If you seek to relate to a hero more than to aspire to them and have the stomach for unpleasant things such as a hero left for dead, villainous scars, bomb threats, and murderous intent, then look no further. All of these gruesome things and more await from my research, and though I do not wish them on any man or woman, I cannot bear this burden on my own much longer. In the words of Tobias MacClain himself, "Sometimes, a villainous act can cause the greatest good." I hope that all my villainous acts of sneaking, blackmailing, diary-reading, and grave-digging, among others, will be redeemed as I present this complete and truthful memoir to the world, and with any luck, open eyes to the truth of what we call "villainy". Doctored Chance: The Unpleasant Preceding of "Pajama Boy" and What Drove Him to Murder ********* MATURE FILTER IS FOR:- violence- graphic imagery (blood, burns, fairly dark headspaces)- cartoon depiction of burn scars for visual aid Despite graphics, Mick Chadwick's writing keeps Mr. MacClain's terrible tale light somehow. This is foremostly a comedy.

Prey No More
Imagine being given a second chance at life. Not only that but with a life you chose (sort of). This is exactly the situation that our character is in. He was once a Biology Graduate Student involved in a special program in Alaska studying Polar Bears. In an ironic twist of fate his life is ended by exactly that which he was trying to study. Now, in a new world, he refuses to be anything but the top of the food chain. IMPORTANT NOTE: This is a story I began writing a year and a half ago and decided to shelf, I'm coming back to it now because I miss writing; however, I have not carved out any time specifically for this and, as of now, it will be something I do on the side for fun. Currently I have 9 chapters plus a prologue written; I'm going to be going through and editting it to be in a present tense (from past), as well as changing some of the story and grammar. Let me know what you think, and thanks for reading.
