Before The Swallows Come Back Big W

"Football isn't just a game"—it's life. For 16-year-old David Jones, football is more than a sport; it's an escape, a calling, and the only thing that makes sense in a world full of challenges. The electric thrill of scoring a last-minute winner, the roar of the crowd—it’s the closest thing to freedom he knows. But David's journey is far from simple. Blessed with extraordinary talent yet burdened by fiery anger, he’s fighting battles on and off the pitch. Growing up as the son of a Nigerian immigrant and a British mother, David navigates the pressures of cultural expectations, the weight of his own ambitions, and the scrutiny of a sport that demands perfection. Passion drives him forward, but his temper holds him back. Can he channel his emotions and prove himself worthy of being football's next big star? David Jones: The Next big thing is a gripping coming-of-age story about resilience, identity, and the unrelenting pursuit of dreams. Disclaimer: This work is a work of fiction.

In the year 563 of the 333rd Lunar Cycle, the prophecy warned of a cataclysm that would annihilate Planet Arai and ripple across the 4th Galaxy. But the disaster came early—or so the people believed. In a single night, 95% of Arai’s population was wiped out, leaving the survivors to grapple with the horrifying truth: this was no prophesied calamity. Instead, it was a catastrophe triggered by human interference with the orbits of the planet's moons. But the biggest mystery remained—who was responsible? Two years after the event, Jaxon Altair, a determined scientist burdened by the weight of loss, uncovers the truth behind the so-called 'cataclysm.' The solution is both daring and perilous: to travel back in time, undo the damage, and prevent the tragedy from ever occurring.

In 1984, America's streets were already a powder keg of crime and chaos. Then came Sean Rockefeller – and he brought matches to the party. But calling him just another troublemaker would be missing the point entirely. Sean wasn't your typical player in America's underworld. While others fought over street corners, he was building an empire that would touch everything from Hollywood to Wall Street. This wasn't just another crime story. This was about transformation: From a pizza shop worker to legal mastermind From street survivor to entertainment mogul From nobody to somebody who made Hollywood executives sweat From target to the head of an elite security operation From hustler to legitimate businessman One bullet to the head should have ended his story. Instead, it was just the beginning. Sean didn't just survive in America's underworld – he rewrote the rules. His empire would stretch from the courtrooms to the movie studios, from private security to legitimate business ventures. Some called him a thug who got lucky. Others said he was a genius who gamed the system. But everyone agreed on one thing: Once Sean Rockefeller entered the game, nothing in America's criminal landscape would ever be the same. They say America is the land of reinvention. Sean Rockefeller took that idea and ran with it – all the way to the bank.
