“I didn’t want to wake up. To be honest, I wish I hadn’t. It was my last opportunity to just sleep it off and pretend this entire life had never happened.”

This is just a diary, and how you take this story is completely up to you. It’s full of lies, and it’s full of memories. I can’t tell which is which anymore, but maybe you can.

A/N: It's not a fun read, and it’s probably offensive to some people. I’m writing the entire thing in a single sitting, and I’m not even proofreading. I'm not writing for views or publicity, but because I wanted to write this; as I said, this is a diary. A very twisted diary of someone I keep inside my head.

Oh, and...trigger warning for suicide. <<less

Elske wants to achieve the power of a god, but it may come with a different sort of price

As Mary would summarize her story:
“It all started when I found a wallet. Routine maintenance on a fifteen-passenger van and out drops a... more>> wallet. That gets me fired. The next day I am in Fort Meade, home of the National Security Agency. They have a job for me. For reasons of their own, they want me to do a series of YouTube videos on car maintenance for women. Odd, right? Six months later, I am popular enough to warrant an invitation to a big convention and a chance to meet auto executives. One was from China. The guy was gorgeous. Treated me right. Would I go with him to China? Absolutely.
Loved the man, lived with the man, almost married the man. Change in direction (he married someone else). I stayed in China and did some tourism videos for Chinese cities. That somehow led to bit parts in local movies. Bit parts became bigger parts. The movies I did were of interest to the Chinese government, and to our government. My interest was in the director. Loved the man, lived with the man, decided he would be my husband and the father of my children. Complications along the way? Yup. But he was the one. I was sure. Well, mostly sure.” <<less

"The catgirls have nothing to lose but their collars. They have a world to win.
WORKING CATS OF ALL COUNTRIES, UNITE!"... more>>

Japan is an island by the sea filled with volcanoes, humans, and bipedal, humanoid cats. Known as the “cat paradise”, the nation boasts an impressive population of around nine million domestic catfolk with even more unaccounted-for strays. The “nekonomy” of Japan is the largest in the world; many would assume that such a large economy would trickle down to bring prosperity to the catfolk.

Prosperity for the common cat is nothing but a dream in a catpitalist system rife with fat-cats and nekonomic exploitation.

Cats, those that are “domestic” at least, are second-class citizens who can only freely travel with government-issued certification in the form of a bell around their neck. Those who don’t have a family are less than second-class citizens; strays (which compromise a majority of the cat population) are forced into workhouses and exploited as cheap labor. Those who cannot work in a profitable manner are kicked out of the workhouses and left to die on the harsh streets.

Despite these abysmal conditions, most people pay no mind to the horrors of the nekonomy. Many go about their day, enjoying cheap products manufactured from the blood and sweat of the catfolk.

Who do mind are the exploited catfolk themselves; a specter is haunting Japan – the specter of total nekonomic collapse, aided by another specter from a century past. <<less

Young Jennifer Barakat had a dream, to be like no one ever was, to never be like her parents who were always obsessed over their work.... more>>

While she wouldn’t go as far as saying she hated her parents, she did resent them for always prioritizing their life’s ambitions first rather than their family first.

It was one of the reasons why they didn’t live together.

Not that they weren’t still married or didn’t love each other; which they are and do still love each other, very much!

But the problem was their work.

Her mother was a front runner and figurehead in the protection of the region she was from; keeping it safe from a terrorist group that threatened her homeland.

Her father, from another region, was dedicated to his own work in discovering and helping categorize the creatures there to help the professor he worked under.

After a certain incident, Jennifer’s mother was scared for her daughter’s safety like never before. She then sent Jennifer to go live with her father: her parents hoping to help keep their daughter safe and out of harms way by living with him, rather than living in the Ejalup region.

Now, with her ticket in hand. Fourteen year old Jennifer Barakat sets out towards her father’s homeland, her second home.

The Hoenn region. <<less
