 -First paragraph to a story can be used to explain the relationships between all characters and layout the context of where everything is happening and how they will. Not all stories can be jumped into because the reader won't always have prior knowledge of the main characters in the writing. In Kincaid's Mahabharata the introductory paragraph does nothing but explain how the main characters came to be and their relationships with others in the story. -When writing multiple short stories in the same post, remember to lead into the next story with a short transition sentence at the end of the previous one. This gives the impression of an ongoing adventure that the reader is following. -Introducing new characters in the middle of the story can be done in a way that doesn't halt the flow of storytelling. In Kincaid's Mahabharata, new characters are dropped and their relations to others are quickly explained in the same sentence without pausing the story. Burning of Khanda

Homer's Iliad has been my favorite reading so far since I finally know the story serving as source material for my favorite Greek mythology books as a kid.  I chose this image because it represents the world I write all my stories in     In the future I hope to improve on my fusion between ancient tales and the futuristic setting of the Cyberpunk world, as I heavily enjoy writing these adaptions.

     Night City was a breeding ground for legends, both good and evil. No matter the time period, they would rise and fall, continuing this cycle like a natural order of the universe. The next legend of Night City would start this cycle anew when he entered the scene, his future uncertain but great. One meeting with his opposite would change his path forever.     Enter Yorinobu Arasaka, son and heir to the Arasaka empire. A rebellious youth with no respect to his father's values and visions of the future, his reputation was already notorious and widespread after the mistakes of his youth. Breaking away from the family at one point, Yorinobu led a gang known as the Steel Dragons, made up of ten trusted associates nicknamed the Ten-Necks of Yorinobu. Their time as an organization was short, but one filled with terror as Yorinobu led them to be quick, effective, and ruthless in their work.     Yorinobu did not care for the corporate world the way his father did, and the source of his
