Bring Glory(Us) Life
God's eye shone bright in a clear blue sky, casting warm light upon the earth, nurturing the blooming life of spring. The scents of new flowers impregnated the moist air, birds flew in the sky, people smiled and laughed. It truly was a glorious day to die. The boy with the sad gray eyes stared down at the ground, far, far below, his short dark hair blown back by the wind. His bare toes curled nervously over the edge of the building, knocking tiny bits of stone down, down, down ten stories of brick walls and dusty windows to the empty pavement below. The streets were empty in this part of town where aspiring artists set up shop in abandoned warehouses and old factories. No one would stop him here.

Confronting the Demon
For lovers of Jacqueline Carey, Brent Weeks and Storm Constantine. Fantasy with mystery, romance and a paranormal twist.The powerful wizard, Alloran, lurks in the stinking muck of the back alleys of the city of Ehsan. Posing as a common labourer, he struggles to hide from his lover, his best friend, the authorities – and his past. But beneath the garbage of the backstreets he discovers a new horror: a trail of gruesome bodies, gnawed on by demons, and left gift-wrapped for him to find. Someone is brutally murdering people from his past, and threatening to finish with his lover, Gisayne. What dark secret from Alloran's youth cripples his ability to fight back? In a world where hellcats stalk the shadows, and a flaming demon lays waste to the citadel of the wizards, Alloran must risk losing himself to a powerful addiction, or abandon Gisayne to hell.Jack Magnus for Readers' Favorite said: "...fast-paced and enthralling. I was amazed by how swiftly I got caught up in Alloran's situation. The author uses just the right combination of description and action to get her readers immersed in her fantasy world, causing them to hit the ground running along with the beleaguered wizard. While I can sometimes become a bit impatient with contemporary epic fantasy offerings, I was surprised and thrilled by how much I was enjoying reading Confronting the Demon. Ballintyne's work shows flashes of inspiration from Robert E. Howard's sword and sorcery stories as well as the works of more traditional epic fantasy authors. ...an accomplished and impressive debut offering, and it is most highly recommended."

Hi! this is my first story lmao I'm afraid xdPlease don't hate me honey I'm afraid and with free time lmao Hola!Esta es mi primera historia lmao tengo miedo ahPor favor no me odies, cariño tengo miedo y tiempo libre xd//Siempre hemos estado todos muy encarrilados con las historias detrás de las canciones de Twenty One Pilots, incluso desde la era Blurryface (O vessel, según algunos), y últimamente nos podemos dar cuenta de lo elaborada que esta su historia de TRENCH (LMAO TYLER LO HA PLANEADO TODO DESDE QUE NACIÓ) y de lo interesante de los Banditos y DEMA Nico y los obispos... Pero... nos hemos olvidado por completo de Clancy, el personaje atrapado en DEMA que le enviaba cartas a Tyler contándole sobre DEMA y sobre como lleva atrapado ahí años.Vimos a Clary en el tiempo de DEMA.org, pero... ¿qué más hemos sabido de este peculiar personaje? Nada. Es como si Tyler y Josh se hubieran olvidado totalmente de "Clancy".Clancy... podría tener más importancia? Podrá tener una historia más interesante?Yo creo que sí. Y me he ideado esta.Espero les guste.
The Ugly Diary
I write what I want. I write what I feel.Whatever I write you may perceive it in any way you want but if you think you found the true one don't speak, let others continue to thrive in their own thoughts.It's not poetry, it's not lyrics.It don't know what it is but it's precious to me.Are your thoughts not precious to you?I just like it this way.Also chances for grammatical mistakes are high, I'll try to avoid those but if you find one let it be. I left it on purpose because I found the feeling better expressed that way. If it's incomprehensible it's not my fault, you are just too uptight.If you are depressed or mentally unstable please don't read. And if you still decide to read, please understand brain, mind, emotions, feelings, thoughts such stuff can never be fully tamed. Therefore we express it in weird ways, such as this. I am able to write this because I am still alive, you are able to read it because you are still alive, that is one reason to be grateful to be alive and still live on.Life can be ugly but let us still thrive on small happiness like this.
