CREOLE FOR THE SOUL

Creole For The Soul My father became sick with an autoimmune condition last April, 2020 in the first wave of the pandemic hitting our Black community in the MidWest. As the ambulance drivers took him away, little did I know that would be the last time I would see him as his Caregiver/daughter for over a month. Later that afternoon in calling the hospital I found I was refused visitation. Everyone was refused visitation due to raging Covid-19 hospitalizations in our community. I was stunned. Me, a retired medical social worker has always been at my father's side for the last 15 years. Image-2.jpg As time went on, I didn't hear from a doctor for 12 days, nurse contact was sporadic. I heard from a nurse that my father had contracted Covid-19 at the hospital 3 days after he went in. I badgered, cajoled the hospital social worker to see him to no avail. My father was too weak to handle a phone, but I did have 1 conversation after 15 days. He was despondent worried about me and why I wasn't there. I had to tell him about the hospital's no visitation policy. No one had told him! He was relieved I was okay. All I could do was cry. Dad got placed in a nursing home briefly that had a Covid-19 unit to help with patients who were too weak to go home. (No visitation of course). Then back to the hospital again to go into hospice. I got a call after a week in hospice that they were planning to move my father back to the nursing home because he hadn't died. The nurse persuaded me to come in as visitation was available because the unit had extra PPE's for family to wear. My boyfriend and I grabbed the chance. We spent 1 1/2 hour with Dad, talking, saying prayers. My father upon hearing my boyfriend's voice, in a slightly morphine drugged stupor looked at me then him, and spoke for the first time in 2 weeks. It was garbled, but it seemed important to him. After about a minute, my father relaxed and slept. He died the next day. The city lost his body for 3 torturous weeks later. I thought I would lose my mind. Thankfully my boyfriend and friends kept me from being a stark raving lunatic then. Once I got his body identified and cremated (funeral homes were Leary if Covid 19 victims and way overcrowded then) I relaxed. The owner of the city facility noticed my French last name - being Creole. He was from Louisiana and missed good gumbo recipes. I offered to text him a couple of family recipes. Delighted, he put 3 people to work to find Dad's body. It worked! I think my father, a master gumbo maker, who have chuckled over the Where's Waldo search for his body - and that gumbo recipes got him found! I miss his dry, sardonic humor and smile. The guilt over not bring able to visit him during his hospitalization haunts me a year later. My art got me through all of this - drawing everyday my feelings of loss that I could not express to my father. Author and writer name :- priyanshu Chicago Priyanshu

Love is a posion

Although Madelyn Eve Villanueva is already a well-known actress, she still feels painful when she thinks of the rainy day. She made a promise to herself that she would never be affected by his presence. But she didn't expect the wind to change, and the promise she'd made to herself was slowly shattered... "I want to talk to you, and please ... I don't want to see your face again, ever," he said in a serious voice. "Is it a joke? Don't be like that Ethan, I'm nervous about what you're saying," I laughed but I knew it was just an effort. "Do I look like I'm joking with you?" his voice became sarcastic so I blinked and stared at him. He isn't the same man I remember. "E-ethan..what are you saying?" I asked confused. His fists were clenched and his jaw clenched. "Let's b-break up ..." Three words but very painful to listen to."

This did not stop art curator Wade Malkiel from falling in love at first sight with Vaughn Everette, the mayor’s son. But things did not go as planned, and Vaughn rejected Wade, so he vowed never to trust anyone and closed his heart to the feeling of love. He left Malta for Italy where he spent ten years until the ultimate demise of his godfather forced him to return home to Malta.

The Secrets of a Fox [BL]

Lirin: Ah, why can’t I ever find good friends? Is my taste that bad? Maybe it’s because they’re all spirits...I should look for friends on earth! Unsuspecting ML and his friends group that suddenly get chills: ??? •————————————• The Spirit realm was an interesting place. Unless born there one would mostly have a hard time grasping the customs...because what kind of place is centered on illusion and trickery?! And what if you’re a resident who believes that they can get by without deception! Lirin was born into one of the many noble families. His family wasn’t anything special just nobles, nowhere near the top. But Lirin just happened to be a genius. Even so what good is your genius in a world where deception is key and you refuse to use it for trickery. Where you trust everyone around you only for them to fool you time and time again...One day the young fox’s friends take things a bit too far. So the boy decides to leave! He can definitely find better friends on earth! Right? Unfortunately unless he wants trouble he can’t reveal his identity...sadly he never quite grew out of that habit of reverting back to his fox form when he gets too comfortable... •————————————• Hello~ I’m Caramel Honey welcome to my novel! Please ignore the complete chaos that is this entire work. I’m looking for a beta, anyone who knows what they’re doing qualifies. All the names in this story are common names or ones I made up, searched their meaning on google and then shoved into the story. All places in the story are fictional (except for earth ofc) and are not intended to have any relation to real places or things. And now that that’s out of the way please give my novel a chance! ⚠️SLOW UPDATES⚠️ Edits: I’ve been stuck on a chapter for a while not knowing how to format it...my first chapter is like 18 pages. I started comparing it to other novels and it is apparently long by a lot of standards so I’ll be shortening my chapters maybe 2000 words instead of 4000? Idk we’ll see as it progresses. Also I know the novel’s really choppy and the writing quality is terrible but it’s like that for a reason. One I want to take my lowest works and raise the quality so my highest is even better. And two because I’m dealing with shit irl so my main focus is getting words published right now, once I reach a certain point in the plot-line (no I’m not telling that’s spoilers!) I plan on going back and rewriting most of the previous chapters. I may add in more info or plot points in the rewritten chapters as well as moving around certain events. Like I said we’ll see, I have plot-points planned out, not the novel. Like before I actually started writing this whole thing I could tell you the main character left the spirit realm because he had shitty friends. He didn’t even have a name until I was writing the chapter. I knew what facts I wanted to add in, like he should have twins who are his besties, he needed to be a red white and black fox with certain properties and things like that. But nothing I do is planned. I love being spontaneous like that! Give me more freedom and encourages my creativity! Even if nothing fits together quite yet...I just add in facts that I wanted in the story but am currently too lazy to work in properly like I should be doing... ¯\_(;¬ω¬)_/¯ (No seriously I’m completely ignoring things like world building in favor of advancing the plot. Originally I was going to do 3 chapters on Lirin’s life in the spirit realm but that’ll be for the reset now) So yea! Everything will be revamped later on! Currently the only thing you’ll actually get from this novel is the storyline...Oops? (〜;óヮò)〜*:･ﾟ✧

A Better World

This is the tale of a man who who woke up in a world not unlike his own. But different. Happier, healthier and generally less destroyed than his. With no way home, surrounded by the people he watched die, what will he do? (R-18 Cause I got no clue where this is heading.) [Alright, so I'm giving this another shot. With my caffeine filled boredom, I'll probably make it to... chapter 3? Anyway, I'm really only writing these here because I lose sleep thinking about how stories like these continue. If this ever sees the light of day or if you stumbled across this lying in the Webnovel dumpster, treat this work as a springboard of sorts. Maybe a platform to write your own stories off of. Hell, whatever you write can't be worse than me.]

It's my first time writing a novel so feel free to point out any mistakes. Qin Tian our protagonist lived a normal life in earth. He loved cultivation novels and wished he would be also transported to cultivation world. So someone up there listened and transmigrated our protagonist in a cultivation world. So let's join the adventures of Qin Tian in this crazy world. The MC will be fairly overpowered and I don't know if I will write romance in this novel. And of course our protagonist will have the almighty system.

A Personal Hell for A Winged Killer (Draft 1)

This has now become the rough draft of a new novel I intend to submit into the spirity awards of 2023. After a lot of thinking upon the idea, I’ve come to the conclusion that my alterations to the story would be so great that I should start from scratch, and the decision has been very helpful for me, allowing me to take time to look into how my story could be deserving of the eyes of readers like you and allowing me to make myself more proud of my work. A lot of aspects such as characters and powers will remain the same, but the core of the story itself will be crucially altered, adding even more mystery and building upon the world that I’ve been creating over the past 3-4 years much better than I have been. I would like to thank everyone for their support over the time since I typed my first rendition of A Personal Hell for A Winged Killer and I hope that you’ll follow the story again a year from now under a new name(Undecided). My journey as a guy who just writes for fun to someone who’s become dedicated to the story and characters I’ve imagined wouldn’t be the same without you, so once again, I thank you and hope you enjoyed your stay. This story will remain on pause until I decide what to do with it. I was thinking of making this an alternate side story for what I intend to replace it with or to just continue to use it for reference as the new story evolves and learns from its original. To contact me, for any reason, I leave some outlets: Twitter: @mrgoodeygoody Discord Server: https://discord.gg/UPwUE8y9 ——————————————————————————— ***Warning*** This novel has vivid depictions of mental illness, sexuality, and death. Reader Discretion is Advised before reading further into the novel.

My World is Truth

AN: This story contains mature language and at times extremely graphic content. You have been warned. After a war between angels and demons, humans are nearly extinct due to a targeted attack from the demons. A thousand years later, humans are still on the verge of complete extinction and use their abnormal abilities as "Dismantlers" to help every other creature from dangers that were left behind from the war as well as new dangers. Come the MC, Morden, a 24 year old pure human trained to be a Dismantler from a young age. Despite his lack of talent, his hard work and preparation make him an exceptional hunter. When Morden leaves his village on a hunt, he discovers an incredible power hidden inside of a grand memorial. The power gained, however, is confusing, random, and at times eats away at his sanity. Great strength means distinction, but is it worth the cost of losing his mind? "Can I find a way to revive my people? Should I focus on becoming the best Dismantler in all of history? Maybe become the ruler of a kingdom?" These questions haunt Morden as he learns more about the true nature of his power as well as the hidden truths of his world that only he can find. - AN: I grew tired of reading stories where characters have crazy anime tropes. One guy is so stingy even though he's a millionaire, another doesn't think he's evil but he's just kills people without hesitation making him edgy, etc. I wanted a story where characters were believable and set in a world that was original. The main character acts in ways that a normal person does and the people around him as well. Cringe is something I try to avoid as much as possible and I try to write in a way that won't make you scratch your head and wonder why I used the same word 3 times in one paragraph. I am no published writer and I make mistakes mainly from auto corrections or mistyped. Please have mercy on my poor soul. This world that I created is as original as I could design it to be. The creatures and being found in this world are many that we know and have seen many times before but with my own twist to many of them. Most creatures live in harmony (with exceptions) despite our typical knowledge. No elf vs dwarves rivalry, very few naturally evil races or characters who are trying to ruin the world for the sake of it. I try to have as little relation to our world to give off the feel of immersion, keeping only what is necessary for our understanding (our day length, month, year, the sun, etc.). Keeping with this theme, I try to make original sounding names and places that don't have a strong correlation with what we all know. Thank you all for reading and supporting me!

A Contract to Marry the Cold-hearted CEO

A one-night stand that should not have happened. A perfect night that had gone wrong. Was it fate or a mistake? Jules Morgan was just like any other girl. She dared to dream of marrying the ideal husband and living on a white picket fence. But such was not her luck when she found herself in bed with a stranger the fateful night before her wedding day. She had given herself to another man. Due to guilt, she ditched her groom at the altar, leaving Dale with a note that the wedding was off. She believed she did not deserve a good man like him. As if that was not bad enough, after a few weeks, Jules discovered she had conceived a child from her transgression. Now, she believed she had reached rock bottom. However, she was mistaken. That was not yet the worst part, as she uncovered the identity of her father's child. She knew right then she had to escape him. He could never know that they had a child. Besides, she did not have the heart to hurt Dale again by parading another man's child, especially this man's child. She left everything and attempted to raise her child alone. She was doing fine until her child ended up in the hospital in critical condition. She needed a large sum of money that she did not have. She had no family and barely had friends. She had no one. Except for Damon, the father of her child. She guessed desperate times required desperate measures. But what if he wanted more than she bargained for? *** "A child..." He looked at her with contempt. "You dare to tell me that we have a son." Then, a bellowing laughter echoed in the room. "I am telling the truth. And Oliver needs your help." She knew naming her son might help convince him. "He is very sick." "I am not a doctor. I can't cure him." He said philosophically, obviously mocking her. "I don't need you to treat him. I need your money." She blurted due to her frustration and desperation. The last thing she wanted was to reach out to him and ask for his help, but she had no more choices left. "Finally..." His eyes stared at her, making her feel like they were drilling into her skull. "... we are finally getting somewhere." "What do I get by giving you money?" He asked after a long silence. She looked at him dumbfounded. "You get to help your son." She shouted angrily, infuriated with the heartless man. She still could not understand how she ended up sleeping with him. If she had been only sensible that night, she would never have slept with him, not even in her dreams. "I don't even know if he was my son. For all I know, you could have slept with another guest that night." With that said, her hand swung hard toward his face. The contact was swift, causing her to wince from the impact, feeling the pain in her palm and fingers. But she could not help but wonder if she hurt him when he hardly moved. "Damn you!" She finally found her voice as she turned to leave. She did not need him or his money. She just had to find another way. "Not so fast." Suddenly, he grabbed her arm and yanked her back into his side. "Don't you want to hear my proposal," He added with a vicious smile. "I will give you the money you need and more if you help me with one thing." "What?" "Marry me."

Origin And Antiquity of the cult of the Lord Jagannath

In the Rig-Veda, 10.155.3, there is mention of a Daru (log of wood) floating in the ocean. Vedic prayers have indicated for taking shelter in the Daru. In spite of the fact that Acharya Sayana, the noted commentator on the Vedas, has categorically interpreted the hymn with Jagannath as the Daru floating at the sea shores, some scholars have refuted this interpretation under the argument that the hymn deals with ‘Alaxmi Stava’ of Arayi.
