Once upon a millennium ago, there was a Gunsmith from Hell, and he made hellish guns with abilities that were beyond human: Hellfire Arms. Of course, using these guns required a certain price: the human soul But a "mishap" in Hell has caused many of the Arms to drop in the east coast city of Morissey, where not everyone is exactly a saint In this fantastical representation of 1940's America, private investigator Chance Gordon works with the city's finest in order to get the Hellfire Arms back where they belong before the human race is slaughtered by Hellfire. Bullets will be exchanged, and bodies will hit the floor.

Behind the scene of 1940's (Filipino/Tagalog)
Hong Kong1940 DecemberSa kalagitnaan ng tumitinding pangalawang digmaang pandaig ay wala paring tigil ang paroon at parito ng mga tao. Tulad na lamang ng magkapatid na sina Celio at Celia na kasalukuyang sakay ng naglalayag na pampasahirong barko mula Japan patungong Hong Kong.Maraming sakay ang barko na karamihan ay mga sino (Chinese), may mangilan-ngilang kanluranin din.Malaki ang kainan sa loob ng barko na halos puno na rin sa tanghaling iyon. Sa isang sulok na mesa ay makikita doon na nakapalibot ang limang ginoo na pangkanluranin ang kasootan.Dalawa sa mga ginoong iyon may mala mais na buhok, mapuputing balat at namamaga pa ang pisngi dahil sa lamig ng panahon kagaya ng isa pa na ang ipinagkaiba lang ay ang itim na buhok. Ang dalawang pang ginoo naman ay parihong may itim at kulot na buhok, maputi din ang mga ito marahil ay dahil sa matagal na pamamalagi sa kanlurang lupain, hindi nga lang tulad sa tatlo kanina na halata ang lahing kastila at amerikano.Masaya silang kumakain na animoy walang kagulohang nagaganap. May kung anu-anong pinag-uusapan na minsan ay nagkakatawanan pa. Marahil ay nakasanayan na lamang nila ang putukan, bumbahan at iyakan dahil sila ang mga sanggol na isinilang sa magulong panahon. At ngayon sa panahon ng kanilang tagsibol ay papaano nila gagampanan ang pagiging pag-asa ng bayan?"Nakakahiya mang aminin ngunit sasabihin ko parin." Wika ng isa na may mala mais na buhok na nagngangalang Alfredo Diaz. "Sa iyong kaanyuan ngayon ay mukhang higit ka pa yatang mas magandang lalake kaysa sa amin ginoong Celia."Sumang-ayon naman ang tatlo habang patuloy ang masayang kaninan."Ang pangit kasi, mas pagkakamalan pa akong babae kaysa sa kanya eh." Pagbibiro naman ng kapatid ni Celia na si Celio at napahalakhak ang mga kasama nilang mukhang mga kanluranin ngunit sa pilipinas isinilang at may lahing malaya."Nagsalita ang sampid." Banat naman ni Celia na kasalukuyang nakaayos ng panglalake dahil napagkatuwaan lamang nito."Ako sampid? Kala pala ang gwapo ko." Sinabayan pa iyon ni Celio ng malakas na tawa pati narin ng mga kasama nila kaya naman ay nagtinginan sa kanila ang iba pang naroon na kumakain din.Nagkasabay naman na siminyas ng katahimikan sina Manuel Revera na may mala mais ding buhok at Robert Taylor na siyang nag-iisa sa kanilang may lahing kano."Bukas ng umaga ay dadaong na ang barkong ito sa hongkong, may pupuntahan pa kaming tatlo kaya baka hindi na kami makasabay sa inyong magkapatid pauwi." Seryosong pahayag ni Robert.Natigilan naman si Celia dahil ibig sabihin niyan ay hindi na niya makikita ang matagal na niyang hinahangaan (daw) na walang iba kundi ang makisig na si Robert.Ano bang pwedi niyang gawin? Nais niya pang makasama ito ng matagal. At hindi niya pa nakukuha ang kailangan niya dito."Nako tamang-tama lamang iyon dahil nais din namin ng kapatid ko na mamasyal muna sa hongkong." Pagdadahilan ni Celia na sasalungatin sana ng nakababatang kapatid na nasa tabi niya, mabuti na lamang at tumingin muna ito sa kanya, at sa tinginan ng magkapatid ay nagkaintindihan sila. "Wala kaming kakilala dito sa Hong Kong, baka pweding sumama narin kami sa inyo?"Nagkatingin ang tatlo, halata sa mga mukha ng mga ito ang hindi pagsang-ayon sa sinabi ni Celia."Ah kasi..." Hindi naman alam ni Alfredo kung ano ang dapat sabihin."Kung hahayaan mong sumali si Celio sa amin ay pwedi namin kayong isama." Si Robert ang nagsalita. "We're not going there just for fun.""I can't let him join that secret org of you people." Pagtanggi naman ni Celia. "Bakit hindi nalang kaya ako ang pasalihin niyo?"Natawa ang mga ginoo sa winikang iyon ni Celia."Ayaw mong pasalihin si Celio pero gusto mong isali ang iyong sarili?" Pagpapalinaw ni Manuel kay Celia.

All in the Mind
Jenny Twist was born in York and brought up in the West Yorkshire mill town of Heckmondwike, the eldest grandchild of a huge extended family. She left school at fifteen and went to work in an asbestos factory. After working in various jobs, including bacon-packer and escapologist’s assistant (she was The Lovely Tanya), she returned to full-time education and did a BA in history, at Manchester and post-graduate studies at Oxford. She stayed in Oxford working as a recruitment consultant for many years and it was there that she met and married her husband, Vic. In 2001 they retired and moved to Southern Spain where they live with their rather eccentric dogs and cat. Besides writing, she enjoys reading, knitting and attempting to do fiendishly difficult logic puzzles. In July 2018 she won the Author Show TOP FEMALE AUTHOR Fantasy/Horror/Paranormal/Science Fiction award. Tilly wakes up in the dark, alone and very frightened. She finds she is in a strange room inexplicably furnished in 1940s style. However did she get here? Has she somehow slipped into the past? Has she been kidnapped? Of one thing she is absolutely certain, she has never seen this place in her life before. All in the Mind is a fascinating tale exploring the human capacity to overcome any obstacle, no matter how great, as long as you believe you can. Tilly is part of an experiment working on a cure for Alzheimer's disease. She and most of the other patients taking part in the experiment seem to make a full recovery, but there is a strange side effect. Tilly and her fellow experimental subjects appear to be getting younger. Can the same experiment be repeated for Tilly's beloved husband so that he can recover from a stroke? Tilly thinks it can and she will move heaven and earth to make sure it happens. A charming and thought-provoking story full of reminiscences of a bygone age, All in the Mind also deals with the dilemmas posed by new developments in a society whose culture is geared to the idea that the natural span of a human life is three-score years and ten.

The Old Man and the Sea
The Old Man and the Sea is one of Hemingway's most famous novels. The old fisherman Santiago has caught nothing for eighty-four days. Then things change. Ernest Miller Hemingway (July 21, 1899 – July 2, 1961) was an American novelist, short story writer, and journalist. His economical and understated style had a strong influence on 20th-century fiction, while his life of adventure and his public image influenced later generations. Hemingway produced most of his work between the mid-1920s and the mid-1950s and won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954. He published seven novels, six short story collections, and two non-fiction works. Additional works, including three novels, four short story collections, and three non-fiction works, were published posthumously. Many of his works are considered classics of American literature. Giancarlo Rossini Real ePublisher Ernest Hemingway, Writer Born: 21 July 1899 Birthplace: Oak Park, Illinois Died: 2 July 1961 (suicide) Best Known As: Famously manly author of For Whom the Bell Tolls Hemingway is one of the 20th century's most famous American writers. His books include The Sun Also Rises (1926), A Farewell to Arms (1929), and For Whom the Bell Tolls (1940). Hemingway's plainspoken no-frills writing style became so famous that it was (and is) frequently parodied. His dashing machismo was almost as famous as his writing: he lived in Paris, Cuba and Key West, fancied bullfighting and big game hunting, and served as a war correspondent in WWII and the Spanish Civil War. He sealed his own notoriety when he killed himself with a shotgun in 1961. Hemingway was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1954... Hemingway is sometimes called by his familiar nickname "Papa"... His birthdate is sometimes listed in error as 1898. According to a 1954 article in the New York Times, "In most reference books and in his own conversation he is one year older because he gave 1898 as his birth date when he tried to enlist [in the army] early in 1917, and stuck to that date ever since"... Hemingway's father also committed suicide, shooting himself with a Civil War pistol in 1928. Works: Novels • (1925) The Torrents of Spring • (1926) The Sun Also Rises • (1929) A Farewell to Arms • (1937) To Have and Have Not • (1940) For Whom the Bell Tolls • (1950) Across the River and Into the Trees • (1952) The Old Man and the Sea (1962) Adventures of a Young Man • (1970) Islands in the Stream • (1986) The Garden of Eden Nonfiction • (1932) Death in the Afternoon • (1935) Green Hills of Africa • (1960) The Dangerous Summer • (1964) A Moveable Feast • (2003) Ernest Hemingway Selected Letters 1917-1961 • (2005) Under Kilimanjaro Short story collections • (1923) Three Stories and Ten Poems • (1925) In Our Time • (1927) Men Without Women • (1932) The Snows of Kilimanjaro • (1933) Winner Take Nothing • (1938) The Fifth Column and the First Forty-Nine Stories • (1947) The Essential Hemingway • (1953) The Hemingway Reader • (1972) The Nick Adams Stories • (1976) The Complete Short Stories of Ernest Hemingway • (1995) Collected Stories

Reborn as a... Flak Tower on Tank Treads?!
A 17-year old redditor was minding his own business, browsing, as you would have guessed in case you haven't already noticed, reddit, when a humongous 42-feet long Oil Tanker truck exploded due to some... mishandling of the loaders (and also because of this lazy author)... and somehow hit his house, exactly on his room where he was using his PC, killing him and burning that part of his house. I don't need to explain what happened to his body, and life.After some mourning and disorientation, he reincarnates into a G-Tower Flak Tower used by the Germans during the 1940s in the defense of Berlin against the soviets, except it's on fucking tank treads, and can move at 60 km/h for god's sake!Not to mention, he has a fucking leveling system! And to put the cherry on top, he's in another world (surprise-surprise) with monsters, reincarnated heroes like him except their human or some other race, magic, kingdoms, and medieval feuds.Come and join his journey of being transmigrated into this body -if you could even call it a body, since its made out of reinforced concrete, Anti-everything guns, missiles, and the chassis of a tank- and trying to survive, in another world with demon lords, angels, heroes, dragons, golems, and a whole lot of utter isekai-genre bullshittery.(Imma try to write this shit along with the other novel I have hihi, this is all for fun so you might see some inaccuracies with some of the weapons, but yeah, hope you check it out!I got this idea while browsing reddit too irl lol so I thought to myself "Why not make this bullshit idea a thing?", and my mind gave birth to this abominable stupidity)
