Chapter 7: Power Trio Here's the seventh chapter of Switched, bringing the second story arc to its conclusion. This is highly episodic, so go back and read the earlier stuff if you like stories that make sense. The story contains some gender-switching elements, so be warned if you're turned off by that type of thing. And haven't read any previous chapters....
\\Author's note: If you saw the category(or the tags), you know where this is ultimately going. However, this story delves into some heavy subject matter along the way. The setup is intense, but so is the payoff. The underlying theme to all of this is something that I think a lot of Lit readers can identify with, so hopefully you'll give this a chance. Th...
This story was inspired by "THE FINE" a song/YouTube video by Young Scrolls. I'm pretty sure this is the longest thing I've ever written, but... it's weird. It's really meta, as well. I can't remember writing a lot of this, even though it's been the only thing I've done for a few weeks. It can also be taken as a metaphor of my writing thus far. I realized th...

They would be away from the regular world, lost in the woods and surrounded by their best friends. Ashton and Candice followed behind Jared and his girlfriend....
This started out as part of my Conversations universe, but turned out a much longer story than I usually write. I do not apologise for its length, however, having received several emails complaining that I just write flash stories and offer nothing that readers can really get their teeth into. If you're not keen on long stories -- don't read it. If you're...
Pulling up to Emma's house I waited in the Astra and put some music on. It was one of the cleaner streets I had been on. There were trees where I had parked, saplings held with stakes in the earth, one every forty metres on both pavements. The bins had been put out for tomorrow. I saw a fluttering of curtains in the window of Emma's house and recognised th...
My thanks to blackrandl1958. ***** Chapter 1: Complacence and Discontent Every life has physical or emotional tragedy that must be endured. Suffering is part of our condition. A birth defect, an accidental crippling, an early demise: all lives include tragedies, eventually. The great tragedy of my personal life came to light because of another tragedy, a...
