《TRUST ISSUES || RIFF || WESTSIDESTORY2021》INTRODUCTION
Advertisement
Charlotte, or Lottie and her brother had always lived in Manhattan, New York, even when their parents kicked them out at fourteen. Lottie and Diesel were twins, he was only older by 3 minutes.
When they were kicked out they went to the cops only to be turned away and back out to the streets, From there on they lived off stealing and running, their house being an old caravan near the edge of the city.
When they turned 19 Lottie found work while Diesel met a gang called the jets. She worked in a post office, meeting her best friend Minnie, she was a lot younger than her only just turned 16, she earned enough money for the both of them to get a small apartment, with a kitchen, 2 bedrooms and a bathroom.
Once she got enough money for a while, she decided to work 2 days a week, Mondays and Thursdays. When she wasn't at work, she was either at home or stopping the Jets from going to prison. At first, they saw her as a treat but soon learned what would happen to them if any of them touched her. Apart from Riff that was.
Riff invited Diesel to the Jets, and when he saw Lottie for the first time, he couldn't keep his eyes off her. They bonded really easily and started picking up others around the streets. Starting a gang of 16 Jets, she knew almost all their names and would always patch them up after a rumble or fight in the streets.
She started to slowly drift from the Jets after she nearly died in a rumble, it was the same one that Tony (the former leader) was taken to prison. Lottie got beaten really bad, and Tony decided to avenge her, doing the same to the boy, the cops showed up just before the last hit to see Lottie and the Egyptian Kings boy on the floor barely breathing, all blooded up and bruised. Lottie had a scar on her Arm from where a knife was stabbed through it causing her to fall and get beaten by this boy who thought she was the weakest.

He was proven right after the 7th punch when she started coughing up blood. He didn't stop until Tony tackled him off and did the same to him, only he was punished to prison for a year. Riff and Diesel had been so worried of losing her that they decided she not to attend any more rumbles, she agreed having a mutual fear of the thought.
Riff stayed in their apartment so much he may as well helped with the rent. He would welcome himself in, eat their food and sleep in Lottie's bed with her. Diesel didn't like the idea at first but he soon got used to it knowing they were both sensible.
So Lottie looked after 'her boys' after every fight, cleaning them up, feeding them and giving them the couch to pass out on, the Jets wouldn't still be standing if it weren't for her, but each time a Jet would walk into her kitchen covered in dirt or blood her would increase, but she still agreed to clean and look after them.
The Jets loved 'their Lottie' and she loved 'her boys' and she did anything she could to protect them.

Vigilantes Make Us Safe: Rebel Rebel
When the world was on the brink in the 1940s a group of men and women with uncommon ability pulled the world from the brink. They inspired generations to come and led to a golden age of vigilantes protecting the world. Times change. By the early 2000s almost nowhere was willing to tolerate unregulated men and women dispensing their own form of justice. The dawn of the internet made operating in the shadows virtually impossible. Everyone thought the days of vigilantes were done but presidential candidate Richard Hughes, riding a wave of populism, has promised to bring these men and women into the light and empower them to keep us all safe. The passing of the Vigilantes Making Us Safe Act changes everything. All teenagers feel like they don’t fit in at times. Ryaan Asfour knows the feeling well. As part of an immigrant family in a country turning against immigrants, there’s a lot of people who don’t think he belongs. The election of Richard Hughes and the passage of the Vigilantes Making Us Safe Act hasn’t helped matters. Suddenly anyone who wants to discriminate can just say they’re keeping people safe and do whatever they want. Sudden popularity at school after hitting a game winning shot makes it even more apparent how much he doesn’t fit in with the rest of his world. A clash with a pair of vigilantes on his way home from school puts things in perspective. What can Ryaan do to protect his family and his neighborhood? Vigilantes Making Us Safe will follow a variety of lead characters including Serenity, Toxic, Hitbox, the Rebel and more.

Force Majeure: A web novel
In the Qursan Empire, the grey walls of the city press down on its subjects. It is a highly divided society which is based on the magical strength of its citizens. While the most powerful are trained as Mages, the majority of citizens use their limited skills with essence to power the city in their assigned jobs. Jano is pretty much the lowest of the low in the Qursan Empire. A Class Ten citizen forced into transitory work after having his power restricted. When he gets the opportunity to change all of that, he takes it with both hands. Please note this is an edited version of my story ‘city of captives’. It follows a similar structure but I’ve ironed out some of the kinks. If you read that version, much of this will be similar though there are some differences. This is a slow burning progression fantasy. Please expect at least two chapters per week. I love writing this story but I do have unfortunate things to deal with like work and life outside of writing. I may be able to write and edit more than that, but it will never be less! If you enjoy this, consider following me on Instagram by just searching Crow J Williams.
