Upon Wings of Change
by CrystalSchererNo one ever said what would happen when dragons and aliens meet. And no one told me that I would be in the middle of it.
Tasha was studying hard to get through her last year of university when she was kidnapped. She certainly did not expect to wake up with four feet and wings. Mad scientists are bad enough, but things get even more complicated when aliens appear and wipe out the human race.
Is there a way for her to hide her true identity in this new world while retaining her humanity?

Sneak Peek:
Taking a deep breath, I jumped over the lip of the tray and beat down hard with my wings, expecting to only slow my fall.
My powerful wingbeat plucked my feet from the sand as it threw me into the air. I squawked in surprise and spread my wings wide in alarm before gravity regained its hold on me. With several awkward back-winging motions of my wings, I landed lightly on the floor.
Well, at least I know my wings work. I glanced at the man in the corner as he was scribbling quick notes. I turned around to regard the tray again. Well, they say practice makes perfect. With another hop and a single light wingbeat, I managed to land in the sand tray with fanned wings slowing my momentum.
That was much more graceful. But a wing-assisted hop wasn’t true flight. And I still wasn’t on the windowsill.

Hidden Adversary
by Anim_TiHey Readers! So… this was the first story I ever wrote as a kid.
I posted it back in 2018 but i felt like bringing it back with some cleanup here and there. Grammar’s better now (a bit i guess?), but I didn’t touch the core. Figured I’d let the heart of it stay the same. Nostalgia, maybe. Or just respect for where I started.
You’ll probably notice how rough it is. I did too. Cringed a little, not gonna lie. But it’s part of the journey. I’ve come a bit of a long way since then, learned more about story flow, structure, all that. Still learning, honestly. Always will be, knowledge and experience are limitless... there's no end
Just think of this version like it’s from an alternate universe. Same characters, different path. I’m working on the new one now, so if you’re curious, keep a lookout.
Anyway, thanks for coming and reading it, especially if you stick through the mess my younger self made. Hope it doesn’t burn your eyes too badly.

The Box
by AnacondaThe Center.
The Center holds supernatural patients (teenagers)...
Against their will. Their abilities were infiltrated/inputted into their blood without consent. The Center is hidden from the outside world, so nobody really knows where their children head off to.
And they never will. It's such a shame. A real pity, really.
