《Cherry Bomb and Mouth (A Goonies Love Story)》NINETEEN
Advertisement
(Cherry Bomb's P.O.V.)
"OW my arm let me go you disgusting slimeball!" I shout at one of the gross and smelly Italian guys who has me.
"Shut it you little sarcastic brat!" Mama Fratelli yells at me.
I try to grab a hold of Mouth's hand but get yanked around and all of jewels and gold and stuff we'd found is emptied from our pockets and anywhere we could reach. I know this sounds gross but I hid a few necklaces in my underwear because I knew that the Fratellis would never check there.
My best friend is so quiet and I snicker a little saying, "You know Mouth, we call you that for a reason! Why so quiet all of a sudden are you scared?"
He shakes his head no and starts to make weird noises as he continues to empty his pockets, then Mama Fratelli says, "You're so quiet all of a sudden! You're the one they call Mouth."
He makes more funny noises and that's when I realize he had put things into his mouth, he tries to not swallow everything as the gross lady pulls pearls out of his mouth.
"Oh, my God! Is that all?"
"Mhmm." he lies.
Meanwhile, Andi and I are getting our wrists tied up as it all plays out, suddenly the old lady hits him in the back of the head and more jewels spill out of his mouth. She says, "Oh, my God!"
I panic and shout, "Stop hitting him you'll hurt him!"
She laughs and says, "Aw, is he your boyfriend?!"
I swallow hard and look up at my best friend and we make eye contact he looks scared but determined as he spits out the last jewel, then the old lady laughs again saying in a fake sweet voice, "Aw, how sweet Cherry Bomb and Mouth! Is he your boyfriend?"

I look at him once more and then smile as I think of all our great memories together then say, "Yes, you old witch he is, and this time I mean it!" I say looking more at Mouth than at her.
He smiles a little but then Andi and I are being forced to walk the plank she says, "Say goodbye to your little friends!"
"Brand!" Andi shouts.
I make eye contact with Mouth who looks like he's in pain from his hair being held onto so tightly at the last minute the old lady shoves me over into his arms just as Andi falls. Brand goes running and dives down to get her. We all try to rush up there but are pulled and thrust back Mouth and I are almost trampled on and everyone seemed to have forgotten about us,
"So you really meant it this time Cherry Bomb?" he asks.
"I'm your boyfriend?"
"Yes, I meant it Mouth, and I was hoping you'd say yes."
Before he can respond back the old lady yells, "Two down! Who's next?"
And suddenly the glasses guy grabs me off of Mouth's chest I scream and so does he grabbing for my hand but unable to reach me. Thankfully he grabs Mouth as well and we scream kicking the guy trying to get away but have no luck.
He sets us down on the plank and our backs are to each other but we share a look and in that one moment, I saw something there in his eyes that looked like love, maybe I'm wrong but I swear that's what I saw.

An Advance in Time
In the year 2050, nanotech was invented that allowed humanity to do what it does best: ignore reality. Jason was a project manager at Razor, Inc. where those simulations were crafted and improved every day. That is, until an accident with a power outage and a poorly-coded backup protocol saw his consciousness transferred to a server and his body in a coma for the foreseeable future. With the corporate vultures circling around what they see as a new piece of company software, Jason finds himself in one of the simulations he used to design. If you enjoy kingdom-building, strategy, technological progression and big challenges, you’ll likely enjoy An Advance In Time.

Primal Adaptation
The story of a little soul that ends up tangled in the games and bets of entities that utilize beasts of any primordial planet as a game avatar to make the Perfect Primal. This tale is not only its story because it will also share its destiny with the entity that will help it in its journey, and together they will rise from their particular situations one way or another. Primal Adaptation is a history with some RPG elements in it, but the MC can't look at a status screen or skill page because it's a beast through and through. I have implemented an evolution system for all the creatures of this story, where they grow or mutate depending on what they consume. In this tale, you won't find a Deus ex machina to give the protagonist power-ups. Everything must be learned and comprehended before its use unless it's something it gets immediately, or the abilities get understood by instinct. In essence, it is survival and gambit for opportunities, be it from one MC or the other.
