2033By: Roger Bron FikIn the shadow of the Presidential Election of 2016 the author of "2033" was reminded of the recently tossed around "fact" that empires allegedly last only around 250 years.

Was time almost up?Panter Colobasi, flawed hero of the effort to save the USA, wages struggle against the forces of yet another secession - complicated by the duplicity he encounters at every turn. Good suffers while evil thrives. Our hero, amidst the treachery and violence around him, finds time to love and although the start was bumpy, Chloe detects in him a rough nobility and allows him in her life. But their love cannot survive in a loveless world and Panter's last words serve as a measure of his dismay.About the AuthorRoger Bron Fik is a graduate of State University of New York at Buffalo, NY with degrees in Mathematics and Philosophy.

So it is peculiarly ironic that the author's very first submission of any kind should pass muster. Or, as seems more correct, "Pure dumb luck!"

SubordinateBy: Amiee GoodwinSometimes life throws challenges our way that seem cruel and beyond unfair. And most of the time, they happen for no reason. For Aaryah, this could not be more true.

Others closest to her have turned their backs on her completely. Some are more vicious than others, but they are people she should be able to trust beyond everyone else. If that weren't bad enough, some of Aaryah's packmates end up dead under unlikely and baffling circumstances. As the storm clouds gather, Aaryah is determined to find out what is happening to her pack, as well as what caused some of her family to change toward her. The one shining light that she finds through all the darkness is Luke, a new student that moves to the small town on Quill Valley where the Quill pack lives. Will Luke become the normal Aaryah needs, or does he have ulterior motives like the other people in her life?

Whose Story Is It Anyway? (Workbook)By: Bryan VealWhose Story Is It Anyway? (Workbook)provides an opportunity for introspection and enables individuals to examine why they think and act the way they do, what stories have they been told, what stories they have made up that are controlling their lives. This workbook will provide the ability to create a new way of thinking, thus changing unwanted behaviors. You will see how you have been programmed to think a certain way by other people's stories and society's stories. If you feel stuck or have settled for where you are or convinced yourself that you are where you want to be, this workbook will help you move to a place that you REALLY want to be...unless you are that 1 percent of the world that is doing what they really want to do.About the AuthorBryan Veal was born in Roswell, New Mexico, and raised in San Francisco, California. He was raised in a traditional, two-parent, middle-class family home with a brother and two sisters. He has been in the counseling field for over twenty years. He has gone from student body president and Who's Who amongst high school juniors throughout the United States to a homeless, drug-addicted individual on the streets of San Francisco and the Bay Area.

Chaotic ReasoningBy: Carter OssianAn aging man in an unkempt home, Dad has struggled severely with taking care of his environment and himself, since the passing of Kathy, the love of his life, whom he lost to cancer years ago. At the peak of his sadness, he is visited by his daughter, Penny. In taking shared responsibility for his state with her four siblings, she invites them all together after months of intentional separation, to see what they can do to help. Because of their vast differences, they struggle to come up with a plausible solution. Augustus, the middle child, proposes that they gift their father an old farmhouse like the one they grew up with to renew his purpose. All seems to go according to plan, for several days. All transport and access to the outside world is lost through a series of mysterious events, leading to the idea that the true purpose for their gathering is much more malicious.About the AuthorCarter Ossian has always had a love for all things mystery, favoring pieces that integrate a sense of subjectivity, as well as multiple thought-provoking elements. Works of literature that lead the audience to search through the possibilities of the conclusion are, in his opinion, the most impactful, as they allow the reader to become part of the story, playing along as if they were the detective piecing together clues. His piece, Chaotic Reasoning, beautifully demonstrates this in a unique fashion. By excluding key details and points of view while keeping the true intention of the piece at the forefront, Ossian leaves the audience second-guessing each character's potential motives until the very end. An upcoming, motivated writer, Ossian has published several short stories and poems in his time as a college student, preparing him for his biggest writing feat to date: Chaotic Reasoning.

Misguided RetributionBy: James HughesOn the third date, Marlene and the seemingly charming Sheldon Wilson go back to her home for coffee after dinner. Marlene finishes making coffee when he grabs Marlene, kisses her, and says they belong together.

He had pounded first on her front door begging to come in and talk. All they needed to do was talk. He could explain his actions the previous night was his plea.

Unnecessary filler or texture was discouraged in those writings. Now free to expand his writing, he could add as much descriptive material as he felt necessary to advance the story.

If the characters were properly described, then the dialog that flowed between them would proceed logically. As a fan of O'Henrys writing, he liked to interject twists or surprises in a story and always attempted to do so.

From Queen Elizabeth's court with this dynamic and grand personage, where her ancestor, William Brewster, served in the 1580s, to the signing of the Mayflower Compact aboard the ship upon arrival in 1620, Ms. Kuhry found the real story to be exciting, inspiring, and most of all, great drama.
