《The Gods' Decree》Mouse Trap
Advertisement
The members of the different gangs were all looking with curious eyes as they listen to Brent' s tale. Then they all heard the name Mouse and went into an uproar.
" You said Mouse did this?"
A bulky tall man with a Viper tattoo on his face could not help but ask after the mere mention of Mouse.
" Brent tell us the damn details of the confrontation with the kid quickly. That brat has been nothing but a menace"
The Violet Sun and Eternal Death then became the centre of the room once more as all eyes viewed them.
Seeing this Brent sighed and tried to go over the events of the day without missing out.
He first described the disagreement the gangs had with each other and how it nearly broke out into a huge brawl.
Then he spoke of the sudden arrival of the mouse and his criminal tax, which he had stated he would be imposing on each gang within the city.
He went on to speak of his diabolical tactic used when they refused to cooperate and how he had used his two hammers to dispose of the 2 cooperating gangs.
All while he spoke, if anyone were to view the elderly man dressed in black they would see a change in his expression. With the more Brent described this youth, a look of excitement seems to have crept into his bone.
" Hehe, could this possibly be real? "
" To fight without a mere scratch after taking on 26 fully grown men. Isn't this the one I've been seeking"
" This youth seems to be the perfect one for my plans on attacking that Illusive stage"
" If he truly is said to be suitable, after using him, this old man no longer will need to depend on this mortal livestock"

While the elder was in his own world planning, the hundreds of gang members fumed with fury.
" What did he say?"
" Criminal taxes and he is the collector!!"
"This boy truly he seemingly does not fear death. It appears this mouse is now a cat and feels like it has nine lives".
The tall bulky man erupted after trying to contain his anger whenever he heard the words that mouse had said.
As too did the hundred of other members as they all went into an uproared after hearing the words spoken.
" Bishop, he seemed to have used our two gangs as a warning to all the remaining gangs. You all should be careful, as I'm sure you have all had confrontations with him in the past to know his personality".
A warning was given to Bishop by Brent the baldie as he showcased the member of both gangs. They were truly a sore sight for eyes, as limbs seem twisted in ways not conducive to viewing.
" Do you think my hubby and I fear that tiny mouse that you all dread so much. If anything we snake like the taste of fresh mouse in the morning "
A female with a seductive body that had a tattoo of a viper from her neck to face rubbed the tall man's shoulders.
" They say all men are created equally but we all know that is bull, as can be seen in the difference between you and my hubby"
A scornful looked was shown to Brent the baldie as her eyes passed by.
" Bitch Gamorra, why don't you slither back under the cow dunk you came from and let those with actually worth talk?"
Brent was truly infuriated at the moment. He had been humiliated enough for one day and swore he would not be for a second time.

Although he knew this woman's personality was vile to no ends, he would not let her have her moment.
" What did you call my Empress baldie?"
" Bitch??"
Bishop drew a long axe from his back as he seemed deathly calm as he looked at Brent.
" There are many things I can tolerate in life but unlucky for you, that's not on the list."
" Your head will be the penance to my love"
Footsteps could be heard as well as the dragging of a long axe on the floor.
" It seems the Viper gang has grown some fangs In recent times. The size of your group does not scare me. "
" Oh, I see, with the injured to my members we are now meat on the chopping block. Let see if that axe of yours is sharp enough though "
A blade brandished by Brent as he took steps forward, his bloodthirst had now truly been reignited.
...
"Although I'm not averse to the sight of blood, how about you all calm down and give me more information about this mouse".
Hearing the voice the two men came to a stop, then looked over to the elder who lazily sat on the chair.
" The Mouse is an orphan child who lives somewhere in the city. From a young age, he has stolen from each of our gangs and then disappeared"
Gamorra stepped forward and did the honours in offering information about the mouse and his origins.
"Before he would steal and then run like the rodent he is. However, In the past four years, he has become extremely skilled in battle. To the extent that it has been us that have to flee whenever we cross path"
When mentioning that some of the members had to flee, her voice was filled with hate for the mouse.
" I want to meet this mouse as soon as possible."
" Bring him to me and you all shall be greatly rewarded with special pills from the cultivation world"
The elder dressed in black knowingly enticed the gangs with the lure of pills from the other world.
His words seemingly had an immediate impact as they all had greedy looks placed on their faces with the mere mention of pills.
It is no secret that even the simplest of pills used my cultivator were godly things to mortals.
They could expand on the life, cure diseases and provide a means of unlimited strength. Who wouldn't be enticed by such premise as those mentioned?
" Senior we usually are not the ones that find the mouse but the other way around".
Brent the baldie interjected after calming himself down.
" How about you all let him find you. Let him collect his so-called taxes from you lot. Then he would only walk into the ready-made trap that was laid for a mouse."
A seemingly calm redhead mentioned as she looked on the puzzled group. It was Sara who had been quiet all along waiting for her moment to shine.
" You might be of actual use after all Sara"

Gaia Ark
Commander Coop, a four-armed, power-armored, super-soldier, undertakes a mission to assassinate the head of a religious cult bent on destroying the UPSF and everyone they protect. But no mission is ever that simple. GAIA ARK is an action adventure hero's journey featuring a cranky cyborg, vampiric sword, alien monsters, and enough self-discovery to provide a character arc. It's a little rough around the edges, a little crude. I started writing this story on November 2, 2018. This story is mid-composition. Please expect clunky prose, notes [in brackets], and incomplete...

Homeland
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER -- In Cory Doctorow’s wildly successful Little Brother, young Marcus Yallow was arbitrarily detained and brutalized by the government in the wake of a terrorist attack on San Francisco—an experience that led him to become a leader of the whole movement of technologically clued-in teenagers, fighting back against the tyrannical security state.A few years later, California's economy collapses, but Marcus’s hacktivist past lands him a job as webmaster for a crusading politician who promises reform. Soon his former nemesis Masha emerges from the political underground to gift him with a thumbdrive containing a Wikileaks-style cable-dump of hard evidence of corporate and governmental perfidy. It’s incendiary stuff—and if Masha goes missing, Marcus is supposed to release it to the world. Then Marcus sees Masha being kidnapped by the same government agents who detained and tortured Marcus years earlier.Marcus can leak the archive Masha gave him—but he can’t admit to being the leaker, because that will cost his employer the election. He’s surrounded by friends who remember what he did a few years ago and regard him as a hacker hero. He can’t even attend a demonstration without being dragged onstage and handed a mike. He’s not at all sure that just dumping the archive onto the Internet, before he’s gone through its millions of words, is the right thing to do.Meanwhile, people are beginning to shadow him, people who look like they’re used to inflicting pain until they get the answers they want. Fast-moving, passionate, and as current as next week, Homeland is every bit the equal of Little Brother—a paean to activism, to courage, to the drive to make the world a better place.
