[SC] Chapter III. Without a Shot
III. Jonas – Without a Shot
So we open up our eyes at midnight
See the setting of the sun
Foundation is crumbling
The inner structure's gone
Used up by corruption
And the passage of time
We hope we've got some fight left
Cause our children
Our children are dying
Without a Shot – John Cougar Mellencamp

Jonas stepped off of the shooting range, systematically dismantling the pistol before handing it over to the attendant. The report was simple and sweet; a few tweaks needed to be made to lessen the recoil, but he gave it the highest ratings for accuracy, power, and sound suppression
“What was your first time like?” Brent ran a hand through his hair, letting the tangles and mess stick out where they pleased. He felt Jonas shift uncomfortably next to him, the darkness trying to mask their hiding spot on the rooftop.
“I don’t want to talk about it in front of Layla. It isn’t proper to talk about in front of girls.” Jonas nodded towards her, but Layla only rolled her eyes from where she sat across the rooftop from them.
“I probably did it before you; I’m not that much younger and I’m sure as hell not a petite little girl who needs protecting.” Emerald eyes glowere

II. Tristan – Little Talks
Soon it will be over and buried with our past
We used to play outside when we were young
And full of life and full of love.
Some days I don't know if I am wrong or right
Your mind is playing tricks on you, my dear
'Cause though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore

There was pizza in the backroom, of that Tristan was sure. There were few things that he was completely positive about, but this was definitely one of them. He was impressed that Nyx had gone out of her way to get pizza again this week, bu
I. Phineus - Madness
The roar of fire rings out on high
And flames light up the black night sky
A child screams out in fear
A hopeless cry for help but no one is near enough to hear
As walls collapse and timbers flare
The smell of death hangs in the air
Madness – Elton John
--------------------------------------
Phineus' eyes darted up from his work just long enough to see Fallon heading into the lab. It was a rare occurrence to see the other man here and Phineus wondered to what he owed this rare treat. The quiet thud of papers hitting the table next to his arm dragged his eyes that way, though the magazine was turn

The Literature Community Experiment VI
Remember the cool things BeccaJS (https://www.deviantart.com/beccajs) did here, over here, and here, oh, this one too, and this one? Yes? No? Well buckle up, my lovelies, because we're doing something similar. The plan is simple, get people together and get people talking to each other! Since it's been a while we'll start off with a bunch of questions. Please snoop around in the comments and start talking to people, we're all different, but we're all on DA for a reason, so lets get to know one another!
I'm going to try to get this cross-posted to as many groups possible, so please spread the word, put it in your journal, mention it to your friend, someone new, someone old
Stay up-to-date on the literature community.
[Last updated: November 2nd]
This is theWrittenRevolution (https://www.deviantart.com/thewrittenrevolution)'s blog for literature community new promotion. I'll post highlights from my 'Love dA Lit' news series, as well as listing some updates from our affiliates! This journal will also contain various 'Literature Links' that I find and will be updated once a week, on Sunday, along with my news article. Please feel free to comment or send me (HugQueen (https://www.deviantart.com/hugqueen)) a note with any comments, questions, or suggestions! I am always happy to include literature relevant things[or things from our affiliates I might have missed]! :eager:

When she cries herself to sleep
six out of seven nights a week you must
say nothing. You must simply take
her in your arms and kiss her gaunt,
pale cheeks and wait for her to
slumber at the sound of your heart.
two.
On the days where she wishes she
were part of the stars, tell her
no. Tell her that there are too many
lights in the sky and that just one
would be forgotten the moment you looked
away from it. Tell her that she is perfect
the way she is: completely human.

Don't let her think about the scars
that no one but her can see. If she

What do I do? Here on dA you'll find me most often in the Literature forums. I troll try to help out around there when I can, by offering advice, critiques, or simple feedback.
I'm currently working on a novel (working title: Soul Choppers). Feel free to leave feedback if you get a chance, I'd love to hear from you. I have zero interest in actually becoming published- I write because it's an outlet and a form of therapy for me.
Periodically I photo-dump around here as well. I currently have a DSLR on loan from a friend, so I've been fiddling with that and trying to figure out all the quirks. It's hit and miss. :)
