《The Midnight Man》Chapter 13 - Crazy Lady
Advertisement
May hid behind a nearby tree as she watched thirty Midnight Men pile out of the building. She knew she couldn't stop them. All she could do was watch as they made their way to the other buildings. May ran through the dense trees behind the building and quickly dug a hole big enough to crawl underneath the metal fence.
May ran for her life until she was in the big busy city. She could see the cars zoom past on the road. She could feel the nice cool breeze in her hair. It was a cold day, with a few clouds in the sky. May ran across the road and into the nearest shopping centre.
"HELP!" She screamed, running down the aisles, "HELP! SOMEONE! ANYONE! WE NEED TO STOP THEM! THEY'LL KILL EVERYONE HERE!" Customers leapt out of her way as she stormed to the front counter and started screaming at the cashier. She looked crazy. "THEY'RE COMING! THEY'RE COMING! QUICK, WE ALL NEED TO HIDE!!!" She screamed at him
"Ma'am, please calm down," He said in a low voice. "Can you tell me who is coming?"
"T-T-THE MIDNIGHT MEN!"
"The what?"
"THE MIDNIGHT MEN! THEY'RE COMING! THEY'LL FIND ME!"
"Okay, just stay calm. Where are they?"
"THEY WERE IN THE BUILDING! THEY WERE IN THERE WITH ME! THIRTY OF THEM! I ESCAPED THOUGH! I CRAWLED UNDER THE FENCE AND RAN!"
"Ummm..." The poor cashier had no idea what to say. There were now about fifty customers listing to the conversation, trying to figure out what was going on and everyone was thinking the same thing. Had she escaped from the looney bin? Everyone just stood there staring at the crazy lady at the front counter.
"Come on!" May shouted, "Do something already!"
"Okay, um, I'm going to call the police..." The cashier said nervously.
"Police? No, we need the army! The Midnight Men are demons! My son killed one and now they want to take over the world! They were holding me captive! They killed my friends and stuffed their bodies with candle wax!!!" May shouted.
"Okay, so, um... Let's see what the police can do to help you..."

The Chronicles of Shard: Never a Name Spoken
Shard, a world drowned, yet dotted with islands, is set at odds in a war older than memory. One, Lagoon, feels remarkably at peace. With the war far from their shores, they’re free to focus on a greater concern . . . the witch. Imprisoned upon Gabriel’s Tear, a nearby rock jutting from the sea, the witch crooned powerless in all her telepathic fury. Though all were awash with fear, should they wander within range of her all-seeing eye. Bedtime stories were told to keep children in check, lest they be whisked away in the night and devoured. None dared speak her name. Ciroc, a young boy, was soon to be enmeshed in her future . . . and that of the council, who controlled all in an iron grip. Not even Mother Sea could predict the outcome. Woe be to this blue planet. Woe be to this blue marble called Shard.

The Heretic Legion
Cover Art: Undead Master by Changling Assassin. Located at: http://fav.me/dbm60ex Used under license Creative Commons attribution non-commercial 3.0 per bottom right of the linked page. Summary: Just the story of a necromancer and his eventual army. Currently, the only major thing of note is a pretty fleshed out magic system. No set list of spells or specific incantations. Just rules similar to the laws of physics, within those laws you can do whatever is possible. Updates: I work Sunday thru Wednesday and updates tend to revolve around my scheduled days off. Currently, I release content as I feel it's ready for release because that's what I myself would prefer from an author. Warnings: This story is graphic. blood/necromancy magic that requires self-harm to use. explicit descriptions of sexuality. (though fairly tame outside of the marked chapters, at least compared to said chapters) and is generally darker in tone. If you're concerned you might start to read only to be turned off by these elements. See 7. Teetering on the Edge for an example of the graphic nature of violence or 9. Explicit Content for a fairly self-contained example of the most explicit of the sexual content.

The First's Apostle
Another one down. He wiped the sweat from his brow, once again cursing his luck. Out of anyone, this had to happen to him... Michael had just gotten his shit together, he even went back to getting an education. Just a normal sixteen year old boy. Now he was sent to the middle of fucking nowhere, to fight things that didn't exist. Hell, he wasn't even sure he was allowed to be here. The goddess wasn't exactly being secretive about that. Probably another way to have him depend on her. She had him in the palm of her hands and he wanted to jump off. He knew he'd be dead without her help though, just for now he had to play along. He had to follow orders.

Seize the Sky
A missed opportunity...A second Chance....Justin McClain, a poor web-developer, is killed on the night he means to propose. Instead of dying he finds himself reborn into a child's body in a strange and alien world. Will he repeat his past mistakes or will he use his knowledge and Seize the Sky?This is going to be my attempt at a Wuxia/Xianxia/Cultivation Novel. I've been reading a ton of Chinese web-novels recently and Couldn't resist trying to write my own. This story will contain lots of action and martial arts and will most likely make the MC pretty OP, but that's sorta the point of wuxia novels. This is also going to be focused on pokemon like animals and will be somewhat along the vein of Long Live Summons although less haremy. It will contain mature content although I have no idea how much. Also, this is a secondary project for me. I've already got a novel on here I don't update enough so I'm treating this as a side project. Be prepared for very sporadic updates.
