Thanks for the reminder. My brain worked really hard to forget that one.

Her name was Nay then it was Amber im confused

Is she going by a different name and not telling the mom yet?

If anyone wants to read a book that actually does this, look up Sophie's World. It markets itself as an introductory philosophy textbook with some story beats in between the lessons, but halfway through the book starts getting super meta.

Who is Nay?

Good to see you learn from your mistakes.

Terra was as Creative and persistent, more than most to be honest. It’s these qualities that drive me to her and made me fall in love. Her dream as a child was to change lives, now, it’s to do that through literature. “Change for the now by terra grace”. That’s the book she wrote, an inspirational sort of Novel that might cater to the younger generation, one that had humor, sadness and inspiration written in its pages. After proof reading it I was beyond excited to see it hit the shelves, key word being was.

The day came for the book drop, only available online I naturally preordered one even though she insisted I didn’t. As to why she wanted me not to read it, well at the time I couldn’t imagine, thought she might be embarrassed, but how could she, I already read the first rough copy and loved it, I pushed that thought aside.

The book came in, neatly packaged with a weird medallion taped to it. The medallion had a fist clenching what seemed to be an assault rifle, the words “occidere omnem resistentiam” inscribed across, weird, I don’t remember that at all.

I opened to page 1, “introduction to the fight” in italic read across the top, none of these words looked familiar. As I kept reading I realized something horrible, this wasn’t a motivational book at all, this was a manifesto, a plan, a guide. I realized that she planned to rally and overthrow the existing government and all its sympathizers, this woman, this tame, beautiful soft spoken loving women, was planning mass murder and treason, and it was happening right under my nose.

“I tried to stop you Cody”. It was her, but she was speaking in a cold grey tone, not with love, but with irritation. “You could’ve kept yourself from knowing, and you would’ve been fine, but no, you had to give in to curiousity” she stated. “Why though, why lie to me, deicieve me, did our vows mean nothing”, “no” she said, no emotion in her answer. “I could’ve spared you, you fucked that yo Cody, now you join them”. She pointed the concealed 9mm she kept in her pocket and pointed it at me, and sent a slug through my brain.

I awoke in the hospital about 2 months later, she had tried but failed to kill me. The neighbor heard the shot, called The cops, and the whole operation was seized, she was given life in federal prison for conspiracy of treason, I had to relearn how to walk. 9,567 other members were tried and convicted, bringin down the Largest treason plotting in history.

Oh my god an entire plane of Hallmark villains

Wow, that's one of the best compliments I got. I'm surprised my story worked so well, but damn does it make my day. Thanks a lot, glad you liked it that much, it's really encouraging for me.

That's one of the perks of being a villain, you get to set your hours. Downside is some of the people you have to put up with, villains and heroes alike. It's better when you get to select and train your own minions.

Personally, being kept untouched because an unfathomable being has taken a fancy in me without giving me a choice while the world outside turns into something unrecognizable sounds pretty horrible.

But since fifty shades of grey came out, I realized the definition of wholesome and romantic varies a lot more wildly than I would have expected.

That's brilliant

Literally watched it in my head lol

if your audience is telling you they’re not scared, the audience isn’t as scared as you intended. this concept may have gone over better in your head, but it’s not exactly fleshed out enough to elicit fear in your readers. maybe if you expanded further on your idea and shown the narrator gradually realizing the books are changing or having that experience with more books, the audience could better feel what you’re going for.

Ah. I see you're just trolling and this is a riff on the Geico commercial where they're scared of how happy the savings make them feel.

I should to. But I don’t write enough. But I did make a lesbian character the other day.

Not fratricide? Or is it both? Royalty family trees can get tricky sometimes.

Holy fuck, I rarely take notice of the prompts and its even rarer for me to read the whole thing. I'm so glad this was the exception. This has got to be one of the best stories I've ever read on this sub. It was really fucking creepy in a way that horror rarely ever hits me. It goes up there with that story where Death becomes known as Life, the story about the Skips, and the story about not looking at the Moon, as far as impact goes. Awesome story!!! I aspire to be this good of a writer.
