Adventure

Big Bad Wolf
Sometimes it pays to be overly paranoid, at least in my case it did. I surveyed the area again carefully for any danger. Ever since I was little, I was obsessed with worlds other than my own. Far off planets and magical realms where mythical beasts roamed free. I never thought that one day those fantasies would actually come true.

A TALE TAIL HEART tale no.2
Freyja couldn’t figure out how she had been caught, but she knew that Bogran must have flipped on her the second her locket started burning inside her chest. It wasn’t just the normal soul-sucking sensation, it felt like her sternum was being ripped inward as the wicked thing took sinew and bone with it. It damned near felt like it would take the earth beneath her feet if she stood still for too long. Worse than that, the one installed in Delphi was starting to send jolts and her little neck was red. She could hardly breathe. Those massive fucking assholes. Big gaping pile-stricken taint pustules… enough.

DECISIONS, OPPORTUNITY OR FATE!!
Hi friends, welcome to my adventure book! When I was young, and even as an adult, I loved those old Adventure books where I got to pick my own ending. They were awesome, with a huge amount of different ends to choose from. Some had maybe fifty different endings, so I sat here thinking how I could write an adventure book and make it my own, something different then anyone I have seen out there or heard of before. Then it struck me, I decided to write an Adventure book based on one main character, You, the reader.

Rush
Chapter Five A Face in the Crowd The big night is finally here. Father and Parker look so charming in their suits, and I’m not hating the way I look in this dress! Mother curled my hair and pinned the delicate strands into a bun on top of my head. Alyvia and Taylor came over to get ready, and over-excitedly agreed to do my make-up. I feel like a princess, with the best looking entourage a girl could ask for.

The End of Us
It’s almost time. We’ve known it for a while. There’s a quiet settling into the bones of the world, into the ash and the air. The birds are gone, the soil turned soft and sterile. Even the wind rests.

Operation Phoenix
Our skies are mostly clear but there’s a storm among us. Our homes, our families, and our friends are being taken by the ricochet of bullets, bombs, and other weapons of mass destruction- all of which have been overlooked by empty promises made for peace. We were once a prosperous nation now held hostage by cowards. Our freedom is what we want, and what I want too. My actions tell another story. My hands pull the trigger. I’m a vessel, a gear in the machine, which does the storm’s bidding.

Genes’ Journal
July 7, 2510 It all started 5 years ago, just out of the blue 3 Celestial beings each the size of the sun or more surrounding our Earth and causing it to change into this apocalyptic hellscape we know today. I can recall exactly what I was doing on the day of the attack. My wife and I were on a vacation in New York City when suddenly, a blinding flash of light went off in the sky. We then hear tires screeching on the pavement outside, glass breaking and the echoes of countless car alarms going off around us like an orchestra of destruction throughout the entire city.

Teething
Mechanical whirring just below the cliffside roused Eden from sleep. It was almost engulfed by the burbling of the water in the cut bank below, but quietly persistent, like a forlorn mosquito in his ear. Despite the exhaustion weighing his limbs back to earth, Eden pushed himself into a seated position, checking his mask's straps on the back of his head and kicking his capelet off his legs as he stood. The log fire’s surviving embers emphasized the way dust flew up under the heavy wool, burning each particle a glowing orange against the dark.

The Underground Gateway
The red glow of the eternal fluorescent lights. The tunnel was littered with gaping doorways that led even deeper into the underground. Brina was exactly where she shouldn’t be, as close to the surface as she could be. She heard a sound like the sound of an animal scuttling on the floor. It gave her cause to turn as she walked. When she faced forward it was to see to solemn boys standing before her.

Fallout
”Friends are welcome, you’re not a friend,” she said calmly as the drag of cigarette smoke curled around her lips. The click and lock of her gun exposed as she pulled it from her tattered wool coat.

Work in Progress
It was later than usual when we departed on our next adventure. It had been two weeks since our Las Vegas blackout. I was in a turmoil fighting down panic attacks leading up to the day. The benefit of this trip was that we were in the company of a group of friends and family. Therefore any time alone seemed like it would be out of the question. I was traveling with my cousin this time and due to the fact that she was a teacher preparing for her upcoming year, we could not leave till the late evening hours. I had spent much of the morning locating floating devices for four of us due to the fact that the rental I was supposed to have been in was extracted once the owner realized he's lost interest and would not be attending the Regatta with us. I was not made aware of this till midnight the night before when I was at his house looking at his pathetic puppy dog face deciding to now charge me $200.00 for deposit and rental for what originally was going to be free. I and suddenly very irritated by the change in events is told him to go fuck himself and took my tired ass home and straight to bed. The next morning I took myself to two different Big 5s and paid $45.00 each for two rafts that were not only two seaters but they each had an inflatable cooler in between I was relieved that something had actual been found at the last minute.
