Meeting the Millers Chapter 2
Advertisement
••
You never realise how crazy life can get unless you sit and think. I tend to avoid my thoughts because I like to think of them as drugs, doing too much of it can leave a negative affect but then again there are some positives to it. They help you decide on what you want to feel or what you wanna do, they alert you of the dangers around you and all that shit. But back to the negatives, if your an over thinker like me then you know how thoughts can keep you up all night and that they can lead to anxiety
The only reason I mention this is because I've had a lot of time to think lately. Think about things such as my best friend -or should I say ex- June and how she stopped talking to me. And it's not the kind of thing where she became the queen bee of the school and started hating me or shit like that, she just slowly faded away. I'd ask why but I think it's better to pretend that you don't give a shit at all, it works better that way. Anyway that was months ago, I still have my other two closest friends Sienna and Zoe, I won't lie and say that I tell them everything that I would tell June but the bond is still there.
Defining my school life is pretty much simple, I pass all my classes, earn A's and B's, I stay out of trouble.... Unless I cause it. It's pretty hard for me to get myself involved in all that shit, especially with the family that I have. My older brothers like to take it upon themselves to make sure that no one comes after me personally, but hey I'm not complaining. I do the exact same with our younger siblings, there's seven of us in total for those interested. And everyone knows that when you've got a big family, shit can get chaotic real quick. In terms of relationships with my parents, I'm closer with dad.... I'll be honest, my mom annoys the shit out of me. Nothing much to add, those that get it get it.

Our school gave everybody two weeks off due to the fact that they were going under construction and if you can't tell already, I'm not excited to go back at all.
But life goes on
The front door slams shut and I keep my eyes on the tv, "Hey"
My oldest brother sits on the couch beside me before drinking from his bottle of beer, "Hey"
"Where've you been, it's almost midnight?" I frown
"Well Mom if you must know, I was getting pussy" Daniel replies
I hit him on the arm with disgust, "Demasiada information"
"You asked" He says amused
And I regret doing that
"If your staying over then you have to sleep in Enzo's room"
"Where's mom and dad?" He questions
"Working late shifts"
We hear footsteps run down the stairs, "Who is it? Daniel!" Matteo says excitedly before jumping onto our brother
Daniel looks at him with amusement, "Hey Matty"
"Why are you awake? School tomorrow, get into your pyjamas"
"You're awake" He replies to me
"And you need more hours of sleep"
"But I wanna talk to Daniel" He complains
"It's ok buddy, I'll talk to you tomorrow" Daniel promises
Matteo gets up, "Night" He mumbles before trudging up the stairs
"Are you actually going to be here tomorrow?"
Daniel lies back, "It depends, I might leave a little early for college"
"Lucky you" I mumble
"Why, what's going on with you?"
Ha, I think that questions like that are pointless. People are crazy if they think that they'd actually get an honest answer after asking that
"Nothing"
"I haven't seen June in awhile"
Why do we need to bring up that month, "You've missed ten episodes Dan, we don't speak"
He frowns, "What? Why?"
I shrug as I get up, "You'd have to ask her"
He narrows his eyes, "I'm going to bed, incase your not here in the morning. Love you"
"Buenas noches"
I take my phone with me before heading up the stairs

From the Final World
I have lived a long, long time. Longer than the universe knows; longer than any star has seen or traveling light records. My memories; that is all that is left that knows that length, and that which was seen within it. Then again, that is all that ever did. When I am gone, it will be forgotten, a truth and a history lost forever no matter who or what tries to find it. I think that is why I write this now. A record, or a lament, of the most significant being of all time. It is a prideful exaltation of endless triumph, or the dread condemnation of infinite evil. I don’t know which; I shall leave it for others to judge. I could explain further, of course. I could list the sins that have been committed, the deeds that have been done. Yet for now, I believe this is enough. Her story will speak for itself. About the good, and evil, in the heart of a single girl burdened with more than her fair share. And how she reacted to it. So, I will tell her story. Of gods and devils, mortals and monsters, of legends long forgotten and civilizations long turned to dust. And in the end, I hope she knows herself, whether it is salvation, or destruction, she should receive.

Out of the Motherland
Russia, 1941. Operation Barbarossa. Winter has set in and the German advance is stalling before Moscow. Temperatures are dropping as the promised end to the Russian invasion has not arrived. The winter is the coldest of the century, and German troops are freezing as they push themselves through the snow towards the enemy. Meanwhile, dissent stirs among the German ranks and on their home front. Karl Tesdorpf, a captain in the 30. Infanterie-Division, is caught between his family and the Schutzstaffel - he escapes, but becomes a fugitive among his own allies. Russia, 1941. Western Front. The Soviet frontlines have been overrun again and again. Their great people are completely on the defensive. While reserves are brought in to stem the German forces, the troops on the front line are left with limited supplies and support. Whole Soviet armies are wiped out as they are surrounded and cut off, and for the troops on the ground and in the air victories are few and far between. Amid this chaos, his rifle division reduced to a tenth of their size by enemy armour, Oryl Denikin walks away from the conflict. He heads home, into German-occupied territory, but he is soon to find that his motherland is no longer the place he knew and lived. As both sides funnel their resources into the second great war in a generation, trying to force the other to break first, millions upon millions of men are caught in the middle. This is the tale of just two of them. Dedicated to Gerhard, of #55 - the reason this story exists.

Birth of an AntiHero
AntiHero's FIRST REWRITE IN THE WORKS - thanks!! :] EDIT 2/28/22 - sorry, health problems right now, but I will post after rewriting the first 80-90,000 words or so and start fresh from there! Expect the change to be uploaded before summer! So long as I can keep using my hands, that is~! ^_^ X] This story will indeed get fleshed out as my vision improves for the better. But I feel the need to emphasize that a lot of parts are written in improvised comic book format as my primary writing style, and this first book is actually the entry point and starting novel for an entire very vast series I am in the works of developing. Many side characters here will eventually be main characters with there own stories; long or short. But this one particularly will be focused and centralized around Noel. Because of this, I do plan to leave the introduction for side characters as still having a special flow for readers to witness a tad of their background, so keep that in mind after my 'obviously many' rewrites from now and going into the future! Sorry for the troubles! I will improve on my style and implementation of the story!(Although I DO plan to keep parts as 'play style' or rather, comic book style, since I find it easier for certain dialogue instances as well as the fact that the novel is inspired by that 'feeling' you get while reading comic books. But my style is still evolving, you were warned!) Thank you! - Noel Tyler Malierano. He's the youngest 'son' to receive approval from 'The Malierano Family': A Criminal Organization of hitmen and hitwomen that specialize in killing, even maintaining success within a vastly superpowered society. Noel finally manages to complete his training as the newest 'Elite' killer his family created...but, there's just one problem - He doesn't want to kill! Come along and delve into a society of conflicting morals through the eyes of a boy, desperately searching for a new path to follow. Can he even manage to free himself from his father's engrained teachings and ideals? Conversely, will killing prove a lot more difficult to ignore? --- --> Thank you very much for reading! It would be helpful for me if you all consider leaving me a comment or an inbox suggestion, a review or even a full rating wherever AND whenever you believe I need to improve on anything or if something I wrote irked you! I appreciate EVERYONE that comes to read my story, however I DO want to improve my work as a writer. I hope all of you who don't like my work will let me know somehow, so I can edit and IMPROVE my story as a whole! Thank you everyone for your time! --- JUST TO NOTE!! When a character has a cultural name like, say, a Japanese or Russian name, that is because that character IS Japanese or Russian! They don't have to be FULL of one ethnicity either - sometimes they will be mixed. This story mainly takes place on an artificial continent where all countries have sent over their respective talents, meaning characters of ALL cultures and ethnic backgrounds will show hints of that in their names. Please don't assume I'm just randomly naming characters names that don't match them. And feel free to talk to me about whatever in my story troubles you - no matter how small! I love to improve. ^-^ X] --- Just to note: Characters will slowly grow as time passes. Slow pace. THANKS for reading! Enjoy! :] --- Decided to post 2 chapters every Tuesday and Friday instead of taking a small break, but I MAY upload once in a while on different days, such as Sundays, in addition to those two. :]
