New updates every Sunday & Thursday (sometimes I go rogue)

Named after one of my favorite books and albums, Things Fall Apart is an epic tale of lust, greed, betrayal, vengeance and, above all else, growth.

New Updates Every Sunday & Thursday (sometimes I Go Rogue)

This story never started as a legacy nor was it intended to be anything other than gameplay.  However, these characters evolved and, as such, so did their stories; each intertwined and forever impacted by the others. 

Written, played and photographed by me circa 2015. This story is best read/viewed on a laptop, tablet or PC.

Should you choose to continue, please note that this story is rated MA for Mature Audiences and contains strong language, violence, adult themes, strong sexual content, nudity and a variety of triggers appropriately tagged for depression and abuse in all of its forms. This story is not suitable for anyone under the age of 18 (DNI).

Author's Note:

This story has been a labor of love, writing is a hobby and so is gaming. Combining the two has helped me in ways I cannot put into words. I am thankful to you for enjoying this hobby with me. Writing urban fiction using the sims, for me, will forever be inspired by mochasims, rest in paradise, dear friend. Mocha created a community for Black storytellers where one didn't exist anywhere in the Sims Community and paved the way for other Black writers to follow with her epic tale of Men and Stilettos and of course Kasim's adventures!

I will be forever grateful for the safe space she created to tell real, Black ass stories. Much love sis.

"To fight against your skeleton is to fight. war impossible to win."
This white frame it's all that I've got left
'cause not even you could chew through my bones
I've got very strong bones
He knew the anguish of the marrow
The ague of the skeleton;
No contact possible to the flesh
Allayed the fever of the bone.
Whoever had designed the skeletons of creatures had even less imagination than whoever had done the outsides. At least the outside-designer had tried a few novelties in the spots, wool and stripes department, but the bone-builder had generally just put a skull on a ribcage, shoved a pelvis in further along, stuck on some arms and legs and had the rest of the day off. Some ribcages were longer, some legs were shorter, some hands became wings, but they all seemed to be based on one design, one size stretched or shrunk to fit all.
Take the thoughts that like the wind
Blow my body out of mind
Take this heart to go with it
And pass it on from rat to rat;
Take them, said the skeleton,
But leave my bones alone.
I don't get why a person's smile is considered attractive. When someone smiles, they're showing their skeleton.
All the remains of a cadaver of days
I keep hidden away, keep them there just in case
I wanna visit that place, blow the dust from the bones
Off a body of years that I leave all alone
