It All Began At This Creek

About It All Began At This Creek

Good morning, readers of the Bountiful Zone Gazette. It was twenty years ago on this day that some of our older readers might recall. An entire town searched for a missing boy lost in the Forest of Poisonous Fruits. The boy was found forty-eight hours later at a creek without a single scratch on him. He was wearing only light clothing that would not have kept him warm during the cold night. Yet, something had kept him from freezing to death. The forest got its name from the poisonous fruits that grow there. But somehow, he knew which fruit was safe to eat. Then, the strangest part of all, the creek, was more than a kilometre from where he went missing. And the terrain was not easy for a child to cross, I know, because it was hard even for me.

He’s all grown up now, and I tracked him down to see what he was up to. His family has a drilling business in Fruit Orchard Town, and it’s safe to say that since his rescue, his life has been uneventful. The only drama in his life is his penchant for spicy fruit relish, which he and his brother make the most fiery concoction at home.

Yet, while reporting this “where is he now” article, I uncovered a more intriguing discovery: a rock. Yes, a rock, but not just any rock, a rock with its origin is unknown and unearthly. It may be a fragment of the theoretical meteorite that shattered the moon and gave us our ring around the Earth. However, this rock might bring about a solution to a crisis facing our world. And it all began at the creek where the young missing boy eventually was found.

The Autobiography of an Infinite Being or How I Turned into a Bird on My 80th Birthday by Adrienne H. Lee

About The Autobiography of an Infinite Being or How I Turned into a Bird on My 80th Birthday by Adrienne H. Lee

Stories have immense power.

When Ailith wakes up on her 80th birthday to discover three crane toes where her human foot used to be, she knows she doesn’t have much time left. Ailith is an Infinite Being and her human experience is quickly coming to an end. In a race against the clock, she sets out to record the fantastic, and seemingly unbelievable, stories from her human iteration before her transition into bird form is complete. Ailith’s strange life includes tales of vampires and werewolves, wizards and mystics, and even a talking dog. But is it real or fantasy?

As Ailith reflects on her existence in human form to share the lessons she’s learned, it would be easy to say her life was like a fairy tale… but is there something more to Ailith’s story?

I Should Be Dead . . .: Instead They Call Me The Godfather by Sören Sörbo Samuelsson

Every life is rich with stories… and some people know how to tell them and transform them into nuggets of inspiration!
Have you ever had the thought that you shouldn’t be here? That the decisions you’ve made could very easily have cost you your life?

Sören Sörbo Samuelsson has… and that he’s here to tell the story is nothing short of a miracle.

With a creative and practical mind, Samuelsson has invented dozens of tools that have shaped the modern window cleaning industry, earning him the title of Godfather in the field—which is a surprising twist from some of the stories leading up to that point!

Rinnassa the Sorceress is on a mission to save her daughter from sexual submission to evil lesbians and nonhumans. She has struck a deal with her daughter’s traitorous little sexy demonic familiar, Alure. Rinnassa will let Alure use her sexually so that Alure will give up trying to seduce Rinnassa’s daughter.

However, there are things Rinnassa does not know, things that may spell doom for her freedom and her male-only, human-only sexuality.
Alure has already seduced and dominated Rinnassa’s daughter. It is too late to save her!
Mysty is no longer the loyal or good fairy that she’s been for decades. She’s been magically converted to evil and is now Alure’s minion. Mysty softened up Rinnassa and made her vulnerable to domination by bringing her to a state of needy orgasm denial just before Rinnassa traveled out to the Pleasure House.
Rinnassa goes to the Pleasure House thinking she knows what to do and what will happen there. She thinks wrong. Without allies and without a clue, Rinnassa will soon be surrounded by a cast of evil lesbians, many of them not even human, all of them wanting to dominate her and make her submit. They intend for her to join her daughter as a pleasure slave!
Can Rinnassa resist their evil plot? Can she resist her own surprising reactions to sexual domination? Can she save her daughter? Can she even save herself?
Many surprises are in store! The evil plot is farther ranging than most would expect and involves some shocking participants!

Bad Pharma

About Bad Pharma

Onward Pharmaceutical Labs (OPL), one of the world’s largest pharma companies, is completing the development of a new vaccine, RSVIX, to protect children from the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). OPL expects RSVIX to be their next blockbuster and hopes to capture a big chunk of the 7 Billion dollar U.S. market. The final clinical study before licensure is a head-to-head comparison with RESPIRWELL, the currently licensed vaccine produced by OPL’s rival, Beamer Labs.

Siddhartha Kumar, the OPL lead medical monitor assigned to the trial, discovers that RSVIX is not performing as planned, and notifies his superiors, recommending they stop the trial and offer a dose of RESPIRWELL to all the study participants to assure their protection. the company refuses to inoculate the trial population with the licensed vaccine, Sid questions the ethics behind this decision while continuing to advocate for the safety of the children. Sid’s insistence leads to his dismissal. He now is forced to advocate for his “patients” from the outside looking in with the help of some dear colleagues still working for the company.

Inspired by a true story, Bad Pharma delves into the ethical issues surrounding drug development, which often puts science and business at odds. Sometimes, the risk is just not worth the reward.

A poignant, heart wrenching yet heartwarming tale featuring captivating fantasy characters, warring conflicts, romance, and love

King Miserabelaherzeria, a very symbol of the dissatisfaction
and oftentimes misery that wealth can bring, is the wounded
heart that holds his vastly prosperous inherited land,
Immeragesucht, together; yet he is the mortal angel of a
hopeless little orphaned girl. After a long unending life of
suffering, he gives up on his everlasting endurance, and the
final beat of his heart must at last call his great kingdom to
fall; but despite the eternal death of his riches, upon the debris
of his deceased land will he find the thing, a seeming unreal
fathomless mystery, for which he, or perhaps all, had
unknowingly been long awaiting?
