Chapters On The Horizon Novels & Stories

We were the Authors of the Ordinary. "What now, Mommy?" Hope asked, leaning her head on my shoulder. I looked at the horizon, where the cracked moon was finally disappearing behind a bank of natural, grey clouds. "Now," I said, my voice warm and human. "We live the 192nd Chapter. And we don't worry about the Climax." The Audit is a Story. The Asset is a Memory. The North is Forever.

The January city had become the February city outside and the library was behind its hoarding and the bones were going up and the invisible preparation was happening in every direction simultaneously, the buds on every branch, the decisions made below the surface before anyone could see the becoming. Trust February. End of Chapter One Hundred and Seventeen

A new title appeared on every screen in the world, scrolling in a font made of starlight: "BOOK TWO: THE MARS AUDIT. PROTAGONIST: HOPE THORNE-VANCE. STATUS: INITIALIZING..." The sound of the 1977 cassette tape played one last time—Hiss. Click. Whir.—and then, the music changed. It wasn't a ballad anymore. It was an Anthem. "Check your pulse, Reader," Hope’s voice echoed through your device. "The first chapter of the future just dropped. And this time... You’re the Co-Author."

After that, a dark fire covered his whole body, making him scream in pain. My father tried to hold him, but the fire burned his hand and pushed him twenty feet away.

"Emma... the Sunless weren't just looking for power. They were running from something. My sensors picked up a secondary signature behind their fleet. Something much larger. Something... Ancient." I looked at the map in the Chronos-Vault. The "Test of the Horizon" was only just beginning. The 250th chapter was still forty-three milestones away, and the sky was starting to turn a dark, metallic silver. "Emma?" Félix whispered. "Yeah?" "I think we're going to need a bigger wall. And maybe some better heaters." I laughed, a tired, ragged sound that carried over the steaming sapphire waves. The journey was no longer a restoration. It was a Defense of the Light.

I’m not a gloomy person by any means, but when everyone thinks of you as this ray of sunshine, some high expectations come along with that, and I don’t like to disappoint people. Why do I have to be a ray of sunshine for everyone? When do I get to just be Aurora Williams: human being? _______________ Authors Note: To anyone familiar with my previous work, I will go ahead and tell you that this is nothing like what I've done before. I've written this book to challenge myself as a writer. Also, there are some rape scenes that may trigger some readers, so keep that in mind before you begin reading.

THE HOPE OF CHANGE Dr. Smith was on his weary state of mind, never he expected that there would be an unexpected change to happen. The humanoid held his shoulders and said. “Rise up, you have gone so far. That would be enough.” Still wondering, Dr. Smith found himself puzzled about it. But somehow there was a feeling of some easiness this time he strangely felt. He was trying to understand how this could possibly happen. But only one thing he is sure of, there is always a place for miracle. This is just another proof of how powerful faith is.

The Vow of the Horizon The chapter expands into a panoramic view of the continent. We see the "Rust-Walkers" of the East Coast becoming farmers. We see the "Recovery Scouts" of the South becoming "Independent" builders. The "Total Sector Liquidation" of the digital age had paved the way for a "Total Sector Rebirth."
