The Colossal Collapse: A Guide For Survivors

About The Colossal Collapse: A Guide For Survivors

To avoid the Freedom Gangs, law-abiding citizens resorted to campsites far away from the cities, towns and suburbs. If you stay in your house despite having no electricity or gas, the Freedom Gangs will still break in and rob you. They will strip the copper wire clean from the walls, take anything metallic, and even if there isn’t any electricity, they will grab your appliances.
They call themselves the Freedom Gangs because the Colossal Collapse has neither no law nor police to stop them from committing their crimes and giving them the freedom to rampage their desires. A gang member will state that if there is no law, he is not committing a crime. The gangs call this era other names; Total Freedom or Absolute Opportunity.
Those who knew the Colossal Collapse was imminent had stocked up well, both on food and guns and with plenty of ammunition to spare. To their shock and horror, the Freedom Gangs wore special armoured suits that made those weapons obsolete. Blasting away round after round at the assailant only to find he just keeps walking towards you and knocks you out cold.
How the gangs got these high-tech suits that even the military and authorities never obtained is a mystery.
Their once-safe homes now remain derelict and an easy target which drove good obedient citizens to hide in the forests. By not having anything of value, albeit food and guns, the citizens thought they were now safe from the gangs.
Until one day, a robotic dog with a large mounted machine gun had gunned down the campers. The campers’ guns were pointless, and once all the adults were dead, the gangs took the one most valuable possession; the children.

World of Shawn

About World of Shawn

-= MLK WEEKEND GIVEAWAY =-

This is the story of a lonely kid who develops a computer game, using what little of quantum physics that he has read, that renders game levels from maps of any format; the result is just a little too realistic. When he tries to combine this “World of Shawn” with a favorite game of his childhood, “World of One,” he soon finds Worlds colliding, to the detriment of his friends. Shawn must step up and rectify things, rescue the princess and save the World. The interaction and constant dialogue between the characters in this story, as well as the humor and action intertwined, have drawn comparison to that in such works as “The Lord of the Rings,” “Harry Potter,” and “Narnia,” so if a reader has an interest in any of those, as well as an interest in video games, either in the past or the present, it would be a safe bet that they would enjoy getting to know Shawn and his World! — “Your Hero” (Book Excerpt) I watch you from afar, You don’t know who I am, But I care for you, And would die to defend you. You are my Princess, And I am here to save you. I am Always, Your Hero — “The One” (Bonus Material) When no one else is around, you are the one who listens. When all is darkness, you are the one who turns on the lights. When the evil in this world seems to have overcome the good and all that was once true is utterly gone, You are the one who keeps me going just one more day. You are the one that holds back the tide. You are the One. — These are songs that helped me in the development of “World of Shawn” and songs that help recall scenes and elements from Shawn’s World, in chronological order.

The Binaries: part one

About The Binaries: part one

After holding his dying younger brother in his arms, the defector became disenfranchised with the world he lives in. It is obvious the arch-appointee is the villain and despite not having any superpowers he seemingly has a spell over the people. Each of his fingers is adorned with a gold ring yet the people praise his modesty and humbleness. He is the source of all of their misery, but he is the protector of their zone and without his leadership and protection, those vile people of the other zones would climb over the wall and steal what little they had. And what little they did have is given to the arch-appointee. Every morning the giant beast that lives on the other side of the world disk (people here believe the world is flat) would eat the sun. The only way to lure it away from the life-giving sun is to feed it gold. Gold that people don’t have and have gone into great debt to obtain. If you think simply not paying the gold would solve the problem, you would then be deemed an outcast, a non-normal which the common person fears the most. If someone were to tell the people the arch-appointee is a charlatan and there is no giant beast trying to eat the sun, then they would be met with the violent rage of the people. How does one liberate those who don’t even know they are slaves and being in debt is slave-hood. But the defector has a powerful force on his side, a force much stronger than the lies of the arch-appointee. That force is the truth and he must find a way to expose the powers that be who they truly are.

Synopsis
It started out like any other day at Valley View Middle School. Dave Jupiter, simply known as Jupiter to his friends, was ditching class and trashing the halls with his partner in crime, Eddie Larone. But after the school custodian catches a glimpse of the havoc, this otherwise normal day takes a serious turn.

Dave is thrown into the school dumpster, but instead of hitting the trash at the bottom, he enters a mysterious portal and falls through endless darkness. When he finally lands on solid ground, Dave finds himself a prisoner of the Kingdom of the Centaurs, the place where all “bad” middle schoolers go and stay… forever.

Can Dave realize the error of his ways? Can he learn to be grateful for what he once had? And most importantly, can he escape the grip of the malevolent centaurs and return home for a second chance? Only time will tell. Until then, these ominous words echo through his mind:

“Welcome to the Kingdom of the Centaurs,
Where the bad middle schoolers go.
You were reckless, selfish and destructive,
Now you’ll pay for what you owe…”

You’ll never look at doughnuts the same way again.

Now that Kallie Grande-White has reluctantly agreed to find the one who stole her grandmother’s top secret, radioactive doughnut recipe, she’s more than a little inconvienced by the entire thing — especially since her superhero alter-ego is “Fatgirl,” Cuttingham City’s would-be superhero who, unbeknowst to them, accidentally saved the city from a terrorist attack.

Kallie’s grandmother, Aubela-Blanca, is constantly pestering her to do things that make Kallie uncomfortable on top of inconvienced — such as visiting a Model Middle America producer’s fiance, while he’s in a fit of seeing the ghost of his dead wife; going to the gun range instead of the nail salon for “Girl’s Night”; and accepting Zeus into her confidence, even though it’s clear his family doesn’t want to deal with Fatgirl’s collateral baggage.

Will things ever go back to normal?

Will Kallie ever see her mother again?

Is AB more of the good guy, or the bad guy?

Find out in the next Omnibus installment of Fatgirl!

About Fatgirl: Fat Chance

A Head in the Rolls …

As one of the popular girls at her high school, Kallie Grande-White knows how to influence the crowds as her model-ready un-super self. But when a pair of campaigning politicians come to Cuttingham City in hopes of winning Fatgirl’s endorsement, Kallie is quick to send them packing. Between all the attention from the Model Middle America show, social media, and the news, she’s had enough people talking for her that she doesn’t want to actually say anything — and it doesn’t help that she’s not sure how John Weber and James Walter are really that different from each other …

When John and James both corner Zeus on his connection to Fatgirl’s fansite, Kallie’s had enough, and she’s ready to push back — until some familiar, radioactive doughnuts appear — from a single donor, which could lead Kallie and AB directly to the person behind all the Alterants and their transformations.

Can Kallie court the politicians’ favor long enough to find out who is behind all the mysterious doughnut attacks in Cuttingham City — and save Zeus from public scrutiny? Find out in this delicious episode of Fatgirl!
