"Hey have any of you guys ever hear of Detroit?" Data asked, reading a newspaper.
"No"
"Yes"
The boys gave me a stare "what? My aunt lives there" I shrugged, and sat down next to Data.
annd, Mouth did the same,
"It's got the highest murder rate in the country." Mouth says, "well, let me tell you something.. that's where we're moving when we lose our house tomorrow" Data looks at me and Mouth. "hey. I can visit you sometime Data, I'm probably gonna move back to Detroit also." I said.
"won't you guys shut up about that? It'll never happen, My dad will fix it!" Mikey points his finger at us three.
"Yeah, sure he will. If he gets his next four hundred paycheques by tomorrow afternoon" Brand tells Mikey as he flips himself upside down on the workout thing,
"That's wrong brand, it won't happen!"
"Mikey.. you do realize that if you try to glue it back on it'll stick on?" I asked sarcastically, the blue eyed boy stared at me with a glare. "go look for glue then." He replied, I shrugged "sure, Mouth come with me" I said, "Mouths fine here" Mikey said as he kept trying to fix the part.
damn man what crawled up your peephole?
"geez okay." I walked to the kitchen area, opening a drawer filled with a ton of stuff.
•••
After 10 minutes, I heard a woman walk in,
Mrs Walsh..
I put everything back into place and walked out of the kitchen.
"Uh.. Oh hi mom!" Mikey and Chunk hid the broken statue behind their backs.
"Hi Mrs Walsh" I waved, "Oh hello June, hello boys... I can see data dropped by" Mrs Walsh said, referring to the broken screen door,

I held in my laugh, "Boys, and June.. this is Rosalita, she will be helping me with the packing at least until my arm is better." Irene introduced the lady on her right,
"Hola" Me and Mouth said in unison.
"Uh, boys.. June, Rosalita doesn't speak a word of English, and I know some of you had taken Spanish in school." She took off her scarf and held up a book.
"Mrs Walsh.. I speak perfect Spanish, and if it's any help to you, I'd be glad to communicate with Rosalita." Mouth smiled
Oh that little shit.
"He's lying" I mumbled under my breath, but unfortunately mouth heard me, "Shut up toolbrain" Mouth whispered,
I chuckled.
"You're a life saver Clarke, come with us will you?" Mrs Walsh asked Mouth,
I rolled my eyes for the fifth or fourth time this day.
"Mikey no more potato chips, I've told you this many times before." Mrs Walsh said as Mikey puts another chip in his mouth.
Irene walked into the other room with Rosalita and Mouth,
Chunk started talking gibberish, "what?!" Mikey asked "I said.. do you think your mom is gonna notice?"
"I wonder if she'll notice" Mikey ruffled his hair "that's what I said!" says chunk, his mouth was full of chips.
"Well of course she'll notice, she notices everything" Mikey pulled out his inhaler, "did you find the glue then June?" Mikey asked "No.. couldn't." I replied "Then how the hell are we gonna put it back into place??"
"I don't know okay? I'm not a scientist, I can't always figure stuff out for you, you idiot" I walked back into the kitchen
"Where you going?" Mikey yelled "I'm looking for the glue! Now shut up and try find the perfect spot!"

oh my god that sounded gross,
I laughed at myself for what I finally understood.
•••
"Find it yet?" A voice asked, I looked back and saw Mikey. "no" I said and faced back to the drawer.
"try look in the other one." Mikey said "why don't you?" I asked,
If he wants to be a little bit rude I can too
"Because I'm trying to handle everything. So excuse me for telling you to do one thing" Mikey leaned onto the side of the wall. I looked up and gave Mikey a stare.
I opened the other drawer and found the glue, I tossed it over to Mikey "there's your glue." I said and walked out of the kitchen.
•••
After the boys were trying to glue it back on, "how about that?" Chuck asked us, I looked at the statue and the part was upside down.
I started laughing "You idiot, you glued it upside down!" Mikey smacked Chunks arm.
"Chunk, If god made you that way you'd be pissing in your face" Brand growls, Mikey laughed at his comment and so did the rest.. well except for Chunk.

Hawkin. Bronze Ranked Brewer.
07/11/2022 Update: We're currently at the end of the 7th arc, out of 10. My plan is to continue to publish a chapter at least 4-5x a week for the next few months. Synopsis: Hawkin found his place in the world, far from humans and monsters. He abandoned the adventuring life long ago and left civilization, opting for peace and isolation instead. After ten years out in the northern forests, he befriends a strange creature and his life changes. A traveling trio of monks then show up in Hawkin's woods and share with him the best beer he's ever had. After that beer, Hawkin wants to do nothing but accept the brewer's path and brew. This story is intended to be slow and easy. It involves a slow progression of power and brewing more powerful beers. There is occasional conflict.

After the End: Serenity
We all want to believe we are heroes of our own story - unless we want to be the villain, of course. At the end of everything, the Final Reaper decided he hadn’t been a hero. Driven by a desire to right the wrongs he was subjected to, he killed everyone who wronged him or his people - which turned out to be everyone that wasn’t killed by someone else first. He'd won - but it was a hollow victory. Eventually, Order’s Voice found a way out. If the only existing being would agree to give up most of his power, the Voice could reset the multiverse to an earlier time with a few minor changes. Of course, the Voice couldn't ask it that way. It could only ask if the Final Reaper was willing to start over from when Earth was first brought into Order. It was an easy decision, and yet it wasn’t. Was he willing to go through eons of pain again to not be alone? Yes. In a heartbeat. Not that his heart beat anymore. Now it would. Perhaps he could even be a hero, this time. When he landed in his old body - more or less - on Earth, the Final Reaper once again became Thomas. He was both and neither. He needed a new name for a new life. Serenity. ------------------------------------------ While this is technically a System Apocalypse story, it's a System Apocalypse that is designed to have a large percentage of the population survive and prosper. There are a lot of problems that come with the appearance of the Voice, and it's entirely possible to lose. Earth has some special opportunities, but also special challenges. The first time around, Earth won the first round and lost the second. Serenity has ten years from when the Voice arrives to prevent that from happening. It will be a group effort; Serenity can't win alone - which is difficult for someone who's been alone for as long as he has. Of course, that's only his second priority. ------------------------------------------- Updates Daily A note on the nonhuman lead tag: He isn't human, and hasn't been human for a very, very long time (or maybe not long at all, depending on how you count it). He still thinks of himself as human, either way. The content warnings are mostly to give me room to write; this fiction is not intended to be edgy, but once in a while a character will swear or someone will get seriously injured. The cover image is a Chandra/Hubble composite image of VV 340 / Arp 302 / UGC 9618. While we're not going to space itself any time soon in the story, people from elsewhere are coming to Earth and Serenity will visit other planets. Plus, I like space imagery.
