Emily is a normal girl working at Big Burger who has the unfortunate luck to look exactly like Big City's superhero darling, the Chosen One. It has been the bane of her existence, as it disrupts her life and the lives of those around her when supervillains come knocking, wanting to prove their mettle by fighting the Chosen One. With common sense and years of rage built up inside, she usually serves their butts to them on a platter, asking, "Did you want fries with that?"

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 83
Fallen, but not defeated. Betrayed by those she trusted, Isalla was cast down from the heavens and into the heart of the hells. Bereft of her wings, the angel was rescued by Kanae, a demoness who challenges Isalla's belief of what demons should be. She has little choice but to accept Kanae's help, with as far from her homeland as she is, and slowly she begins to understand, then even admire Kanae. Unfortunately, the forces in the shadows have not forgotten Isalla, and they are willing to target anyone close to her, no matter how highly placed they may be.

Who says you can’t go home again? Philadelphia real estate broker Devyn Winters is at the peak of her career, closing multi-million dollar deals and relishing it.

And when did boring Elizabeth Draper get so beautiful?

Excellent, Survivalist Short Story after Earth Hit by Meteor and Nukes
Earth has been hit first by a large Meteor, then the Government's left use Nukes on each other, now people are just trying to survive best they can on there own or in crazy groups who might eat you for food. Its not a nice world, Stepping into that world today is Liz on her Electronic Bike, not for food or for something they really need but for something pretty for her girl. The world has not changed completely. The story is so very well written as are all Mr. Schubach's, I think I have become his biggest Fan. He always deliver strong stories, with strong characters! This is a joy to listen too, even if you are not a strong sci-fi fan, the story of young love (for one woman for another) and the lengths she is going just to get her something pretty.

Something Pretty
Any additional comments?
Another fine story by Erik Schubach. The only problem i have with it, is that it is a short story and not a full book. It feels like there is soo much more story to be told here yet. But no matter what it is still a good read/listen.

Yuk
MC's thought process about love interest was mysogynistic/anti-femins. Really hope most people (any gender/orientation) don't think that way.... After TEOTWAWKI the "hero" values a person/romantic partner so little as to think "I don't know why I keep her around"... Yuk...
Also re: writing style - really needs a refresher on show, don't tell.

Cute short story
The story was fascinating, a lot of the elements were fun. The characters weren't bad. The narrative could have had more feeling.
That's not to say Jessica is bad as a narrator, she's got potential to grow but she has a constant tone in here voice that just READS the story as it sounds. Not enough inflection. Well maybe here and there like in the last two chapters. I chalk it up to nervousness. Other than that, I enjoyed the story. Good on you Eric

The story was intense (in a good way) but the narration was a bit off... it didn't flow very well with the plot.
