《Gifts From Morpheus》 Almost first story I actually had a story I just dreamed like an hour ago and felt compelled enough to write but as I went to make this fiction I slowly forgot a lot of details ( it takes a surprising amount of time to fill out the boxes when you go to submit stories) as you do with dreams and I don''t feel like I have enough to write about. Also I want my first story/chapter to be special so I wont write one that is too incomplete as the first chapter because I wont anybody that comes across this to at least enjoy the first story a little bit. The tags placed were for this story too so we will see if we can come across them again in later stories. I guess I should also mention some tags that most likely will never be in my stories such as Psychological because although I enjoy reading these I don''t feel I am capable to write such stories, Gender Bender because I don''t really like reading these stories so I will not write about them, Female MC I will not write about for the simple reason of me liking stories with male mc over female. Rough draft/ Story 1 Set in modern timestold mostly from older brothers point of view abouthislife living with his younger brother and mother. they move around a lot and the younger bro is not happy about leaveing all his friends everytime, his age is about 11 and his older bro is 16. younger bro thinks he has a pretty normal family besides the moving but dosent know what his mother has done and what his big brother is protecting him from. his mother abducted his brother when he was 5 and has given him nothing but unending abuse and scars that now cover his chest and back. the younger bro was taken at a much younger age at 2 1/2 and was saved from the abuse by the older one. the women they call mother took the identity of another family by arrangeing a slaughter of a family that moved into the city recently but mostly stayed to them selves. this is werethe mother found the younger brother and was stopped from killing him by the older one who was now 7.now in present time the big bro is attending high school and the younger was finshing 5 grade. now here the story can split by having the older one confront themom and the both die in a fight while the younger one is left in the dark about what happened yet left in the care of his older brothers friends hands, in which case the story will switch over too his prospective and be contined from their.You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story. Rough draft/ Story 2 a 16 to 18 year old male wakes up in a concoon in the middle of a forest with no memiroys and posseipns on his body. he slowly works his way out off the concoon that he has found himself in and has set his eyes on the surroundings. he sees a beautiful lush forest on all sides with plant growing in abundance and trees stretching as far as this young man can see. behind him is a tree that appears very withered and on the brik of death but has a cocoon hanging on one of its branchs that has bent towards the ground from the weight of it. the young man aproaches the withered tree and finds a hole in the truck witch contains a duffel bag. curious he opens to finds a change of clothesalong with some food and water. however what catches his eye is a book with strange markings across it. he opens the book to find thst most of the pages contain inroformation on diffrent types of insects there likes, dislikes, habit, weaknesses, behaviorl patterens, and times when you can expect them to come. the page next to this information contains diagrams and step by step instrucions on what to do when you incounter them. shocked by the amount of deatiled information that the bokk contains he reads more till he comes across a strange change in the book. he realizes he cant turn anymore pages of the book even though it has alot of pages he hasnt read yet. finding it strange he puts the book back into the duffel and changes into the clothes that were inside the bag. as he was putting on the pants he notices a key chain in them and pulls them out to find in address written on it. after changing clothes the young mandecides that he should try to find the address on the keychain so he climbs a strong looking tree to see if he could spot some buildings in the distance. he climbs the tree in a matter of secounds which would surprise any who were watching into silence and looks to the north to see a couple builings on the horizon so he jumps down and strats heading towards the north. so a very small part of this contains stuff from my dream as most of that is in the middle to end of this story that i hope to write latter but you have to make a start first to get to those endings so thats it up there, i thought after i woke up that this dream would be a good movie as supposed to aseries but thats a dream so what do i know. . now im going to write some key poins of the dream done here that i hope to get to latter so this mc has been living for hundreds of years and is suffuring with a curse that he has made some progress in dealing with. he gets swarmed feasted on and tore to bits by diffrent kinds of inscets at set intrvels if he cant overcome or ward off them he dies and is revied 5 years later in the some spot he died coverd in dead inscets. his past is kinda undeiced right now but im thinking a curse from a god he offended or mabye a curse for over stepping his bounds as a mortal. so the world has changed alot in thepressent time he is in now humanity has advanced in technoliges and has implanted dna from animals and other living beings from earth into people to be used as a defence program to battle the enlarged inhabits that the animals have evoveld into(pretty much huge animals and insects now threaten human socitey) this program contains mostly girls as they found them to be more combatible and survive the prosses with little to no side effects as most of the males died groutse deaths. the program is over looked by a 30 year old women who trains these young girls to fight the enlared animals. the mc meets a princess/noble women around 16 to 18 years old has some sort of connection with her.(cant remember much anymore.) the mc ways to deal with the curse made the curse evole to make the gaint insects and animals that the humans are fighting against. he started of dieing repeatedly when the curse was frist inflected upon him but started to keep info on every action theat the made while fight them of and asking people what the dislike to keep them away from him and it worked for awhile but was soon overcome and he had to find new methods to fight them off which eventually would still event to the same outcome his painful and aginusing death. he wanted to go insane to trully lose his mind but the curse refused to allow him too it also kept him young to arose suspision from people and treat him as a demon causeing his death at the hands of humans in strange and in unimaginablely painful ways off course the god seeing his curse making his life more painful was happy at what those humansdidtohim and reward them with bountiful harvest and protection from animals and other people. so they countined his torture every time he came backalive to continueand thinkup diffrent methods to gain more and more benifets from the god. eventually ecaspes which leads to himto stay away from humans for fear ofthe same thing happening again butafter enjoyingthe torture that has been inflicted uponhim for for years god wasunhappy about his desions to aviod human contact and spend up the time that the incects would devor him. seeing this the man had no chioce but to mingle with humans butwas very cautious about them finding about him and wanting to repeat what was previously inflicted upon him. as time passed he went all over the world to find ways to help him remove or delay the curse with no luck, all he gained was a deeper understaning of the creatures and insects that would devor him no matter the passing of time. during his jouney he was losing hope and overheard a conversion about a sage that would give advice about your problems that one was facing as long as you told him everything prtaning to the problem one was facing. unsure of meeting this sagethat was mostlikly unable to help him he decide that he wouldnt go so he left continueing his jouney and leaving the city far behind him. years later he is hearing more rumors of this sage sprending far and wide he decides that it woulnt hurt to vist after all worst that could happen would be more torture and death for him if they found gods blessing enticeing. so he traveld to this

Rough draft/ Story 3 One day at an orphanage a young boy arrived he didnt talk or try to intract with the other children or adults when he frist arrived. People figured he was a shy child who would eventually open up but soon found out that he was a rather strange child. when he arrived he didnt show any fear or unwillingness to being brought here in fact he was rather calm for what they figured was a 5 year old child being introduced to a new evoriment. After the staff introduce themselves to the child they showed him around the orphanage(provide details about a fairly big place with a courtyard and large amount of rooms for the residnets) As they were showing the boy around they were very curious about how he was acting, they found him looking intoevery room they passedas if looking for something then gettingsad that he didnt find it in that room. The tour contined until aparently he found what he was looking for in a room that was almost at the center of the compound, the room was unocupied and was preety much the same as every other room they passed. It had a bed in the corner of the room along witha desk and a chair used for writing. As he entered the room he looked around and noded his head after a few secounds as if to show his approvall, he then walked over to the desk and took out a peice of paper and wrote " I would like to have this room please" then handed it over to the staff worker. Although surprised at the actions of the young boy who at this point hadn''ttalked or tried to communicate with them she agreed tothe request of the boy. The worker thenasked "Can you tell me your name and age" as ithad been bothering her alot.The boy nodded and wrote "(name) age 5" then handed the workerthe note.This tale has been unlawfully lifted without the author''s consent.
