《Vampire's Beginnings》Chapter Thirty-two
Advertisement
Hydroplaning. It's the one of the things they worn you about when teaching you how to drive. I knew I was experiencing it the moment I felt the tire slip from beneath me. Making my heart stop. There was no way I could regain control as I flew off the motorcycle.
The rest happened in an instant. My mind couldn't process all that had happened. All I could remember was being in the air for what felt like forever before I crashed back onto the ground. The motorcycle and I both rolled. I'm pretty sure it even rolled over me once or twice. By the time it was over, I couldn't move as pain engulfed me.
My eyes stung every time I tried to open them and it was hard to breath. Every inch of me hurt and the iron smell of blood kept filling my nose. I am pretty sure that I'm going to die alone on this road. No one would know where I am because I just left without a plan. I didn't even know where I was.
As I lay on the ground, my thoughts began to wonder. It tried to think of ways that all of this could have been avoided in the first place. What I could have done differently to make sure the crash never happened. But this played out just like my dream in a way.
In my dream I die from a motorcycle accident. Funny how things can play out like that. It's like I predicted my own death. I would laugh if it didn't hurt so much. I'm pretty sure I lost my voice in all of the pain as well.
When they say that your life flashes before your eyes as you die is pretty much just you trying to remember all of the good times. All of your regrets are play out, making you wish you did something different. Then you think of the moment that got you into the mess that you are in. My heart ached with that last thought because I could have avoided it. I just don't know how and I'll never know.

Then my mind went to the biggest regret I was facing at this very moment. My actions were probably not only going to cost me my life, but also the life of my child. I wish that my need to run away from my problems wasn't ever there. Even if I didn't want to fight, I could at least have heard him out. But I'm sure he would regret making the mistake of having his temper get the best of him.
But due to my actions, I will never know if I was going to have a little girl or a little boy. I will never know if they will look more like me or more like their father. There will be no chance of watching them grow up into decent young citizens. That was what I regretted the most. Ruining a life before it even go the chance to live.
At some point a car must have seen the crash and pulled over. I could faintly hear voices, but they sounded so distant. My eyes stung from whatever was running into them that I could only make out blurry figures standing over me. There was even a figure walking around as if they were taking in the scene in front of them.
I'm no longer alone, was the thought that crossed my mind. It was comforting in a way. Even if I had no idea who these people were. But they were nice enough to stop and try to help me.
The feeling of hope poked it's small head into my heart. Telling me that if the people go me help soon enough, I could live. But the hope began to fade the moment my eyes got heavier and darkness began to cloud my vision. There was no way I was going to be saved in time.

As my vision slowly faded, I was able to make out another figure running up to the scene. The one walking around held them back from getting closer. I played with the thought that the new one was David coming to rescue me. It would be something he would do in times like these. Just the image made this whole thing less scary.
I'm pretty sure the person over me was trying to make sure I stayed away. They haven't stopped talking since I noticed them. The words were muffled and blended together that I couldn't be sure on what they were saying. But it sounded like a woman's voice. Making me remember Ashley's kindness and how she would try everything in her power to make sure it didn't hurt as much.
Just imagining my friends being with me made me feel better. It put my mind at ease as it got harder to stay away. My eyes slowly closed, making everything grow darker. There is no light when you die. Just darkness. Just like when you close your eyes to go to sleep. Maybe that is why some people call it the eternal slumber or something like that.
The last thought that ran through my head before I gave into the darkness was, I'm sorry.

NOVA INTERIT.US
It's 2063, and the town along with much of the nation are in disarray. The decay started years before the Great Event. Our town still had hope thanks to the five families, who'd created a blockchain based water distribution system for the locals, a valuable secret hidden from the Global Water Commission and their network of mercenaries. Earlier in the mid-2040's, right after the state secessions of Idaho, Montana, and Texas, the Global Council of Water Commissioners made their deals and moved into towns throughout the country. They called it "the integration." The Commission and their contractors integrated with municipal water departments, using their organized network to invade like parasites on local services. It all coincided with the 29th Amendment to the United States Constitution, later referred to as the Regional Trident Plan. Nova is a story about survival, power structures, the turning of relationships, and the networking between people and the systems to which they belong. It’s about A.I. blockchain possibility, and its potential for human betterment versus our detriment. It’s about the question of whether or not we need to be saved from ourselves, and by who or what? The Great Event at the end of the first chapter might just be what actually saves us. The epilogue will take place in 2517. This scene is fully sketched and the full arc of the novel is set. I expect to finish Nova Interitus by summer of 2023. This is realist hard-sci-fi dystopian fiction. I hope you find Nova to be a challenging and consuming story. This is not something I planned to write. It all came to me in a dream and I haven't been able to stop writing it. This Royal Road posting is basically a beta test with chapters and drafts to get some feedback and see if there's any readership for this narrative. For the full experience read Nova on Substack. I will be narrating a podcast version later this year there. https://novainteritus.substack.com/

The Faction Contributor [Sci-Fi LitRPG]
While casually studying for his upcoming university exam, Aven suddenly felt the world around him start warping. It started with flashes of light appearing from nowhere, quickly escalating into his whole world becoming an absolute mess of flickering pixels and chaotic color flows, as if reality had become a malfunctioning glitched screen. What he could recognize as numbers, letters, and strange symbols flew everywhere around him, obviously trying to form a coherent whole to be displayed before his eyes, but such attempts kept failing, again and again. Before he could even start thinking about how both mesmerizing and absurd this spectacle was, however, it all stopped, as suddenly as it had begun. Accompanying the end of this unique show, 2 things happened. First, knowledge had spontaneously appeared in his mind and he could perfectly understand it, as if it had always been there, just inaccessible. Second, a weird simultaneously hot and cold energy had made its apparition inside his body completely unannounced. Aven had just simply and purely awakened his innate ability and the energy potential of his cells, joining the world of the supers, a minority that had always controlled and protected the world since ancient times, by becoming one of them. *** Do you have a sci-fi itch to scratch? Maybe that story can help~ It’s not a comic story that doesn’t take itself seriously. It’s also not a grimdark story, going to the depth of making sure the environment is the worst one ever. It’s just a serious story, a rational one, one you can comfortably dive into, written by a guy who already got some writing experience by having seriously written more than 2 000 pages of another serious story prior to starting this one. Enjoy *** Update: 3 chapters every week (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) Chapters: Around 3 000 words each.
