When Amelia married the king, she had no idea about his terrible secret. Now a victim of his bloodlust, she must find a way to survive while navigating the strange new world of court life. 

There are twelve endings: 6 bad ends, 3 normal ends, 2 good ends, and 1 true end.

Elliot hears news that his aunt is dying. He has to trek through a forest haunted by his own memories in order to see her before she passes. There are two paths through the forest and two true endings. They are both clearly marked as 'epilogue.' The maturity level is probably a bit of an exaggeration but there's some material that is definitely mature in one of the paths.

When the scientists at HappyCo created a one time injection that makes you feel nothing but happiness for the rest of your life, people lined up to get it. Unfortunately, the world soon found out that happy people aren't motivated to do much of anything and the global economy collapsed. There's no real estimate on how many people didn't get the mandatory injection but Mike, a serial killer in Texas, is determined to find as many of them as possible.

Penthos, the Greek daimon of grief, begins destroying Seattle, forcing people to feel more grief than ever. There are three true endings, each clearly labeled 'epilogue.' This is my entry for the 2017 Chaos contest.

Warning: rated 7/8 for a reason. It's about the apocalypse, so naturally, there is gore. Not excessively detailed gore, but it is still present.

Jesse Jordan is the best mayor Cougar Valley has ever had, or at least that's what he's trying to make the people in his small town believe. With competition ramping up and an attitude not unlike spoiled milk, will Jesse be able to keep his squeaky clean reputation? More importantly, will he be able to win the election? 

The goddess of an orchard has been alone with only trees for company for the last thousand years. Then one day, a little boy comes to her orchard. There is one true ending, you'll know when you find it because it says "true ending."

I'm probably a 6/8 cook when I actually try, but most days I just dice up whatever I have laying around, bake it on a sheet tray, and call it a day. As for just boiling rice, I'm easily an 8/8 so at least I have that going for me. 

I won?! Woohoo! Thank you for hosting the contest, Sherb! And a huge thank you to everyone who read and reviewed Re-Election Campaign, especially Fluxion and Crimson who have such well thought out, detailed reviews. I'm still working on reading all the entries but the ones I've read so far are great.

I certainly appreciated your review for whatever that's worth :)

I will refrain from complaining because I have to listen to everyone in my life complain today, and then for the next four years thereafter.

(Hint: It may take a few playthroughs to learn what's really going on in Cougar Valley)

True word count is much lower, maybe 70-80k. Variations on scenes makes it seem higher than it is.

I look forward to reading everyone else's entries!

I appreciate you so much.

Didn't your prime minister just get arrested? And you're worried about Serbian whores?

I think this is well written. Your use of imagery is great! I can almost feel MC's pain when you describe the wound. The story feels like the embodiment of whiplash and completely out of sorts while the MC is transported to all these scenes. Memories? Points in time? Dreams? Unsure. My only criticism is the ending. I suppose it works thematically having such an open-ended ending seeing as the whole story is out of sorts, but in my opinion it would be nice to have some sort of solid ground at the end to show that it's over. I am curious if this is a stand alone piece or part of a longer work. Overall, well done!
