《Stress Reliever》Feeling
Advertisement
When nothing in particular is wrong,
When everything in general is alright,
but you still want to cry? That's when you know you've become an adult.
Recently I've been listening to a lot of emotional music. I'm glad to see that I can still cry.
This sensation of 'feeling', it's becoming more and more foreign everyday.
Yes, I feel tired, and I feel frustration,
but happiness has always been fleeting.
I've indulged in sadness for a very long time. It's become familiar, but now it too feels foreign.
I've detached myself from happiness and sadness.
I don't have an emotional anchor.
Floating. I'm floating.
Drifting.
You're in a room. Alone.
For all you know, everyone outside is dead.
There is only you in the reflection of the window.
Who do you see?
Who am I?
I think that's a wrong question.
Who do I want to be?
I've been dreaming of a future.
Everything feels false, but my senses tell me that they are real.
When I close my eyes, does the world still exist?
If I don't feel it, is it still there?
Words have as much meaning as we give it to them.
Why am I writing this? Well, to relieve stress.
I'm alone. Are you alone too?
Goodbye, drifter.

The Adventures of Alan
What happens when a university professor somehow ends up in another world, where magic bends the laws of nature? Alan is, albeit unwillingly, about to find out. As a professor of physics, he has a decent understanding of how the world works, or so he likes to think. Armed only with his knowledge, Alan is thrown into a world very different from his own. In his new reality, he will meet both friends and foe, he will seek knowledge, he will build power, and perhaps he will even find love again? Follow Alan through his adventures, and find out for yourselves how he deals with the challenges thrown at him by a new world, while struggling with the issues brought with him from his old one. * Author’s note: A fair warning. This is the first time I’ve published anything, and basically the first time I’ve written anything more than mandatory school-stuff. The story will probably have inconsistencies, grammatical errors (not my native tongue, though that excuse is getting old), and potentially confusing (missing?) plot. I will naturally do my best to write something worth reading, but my main goal in writing this story is to have fun and explore the limits of my own creativity. My hope in publishing it here, is that I’ll reach someone who enjoy the story, and can push me forward towards writing more, as it is difficult at times to find the motivation to write just for myself. Additionally, I can’t really promise to have regular updates, as I have a full-time job that often likes to take the ‘full-time’ part literally, and a sporadic social life that occasionally surprises me (happy surprises mostly, so I shouldn’t complain). I’ll aim for once a week to start with, and take it from there. Happy reading! Cover photo by Jeff Hire (/photographer/gun4hire-58415), from https://freeimages.com/.

Spot of Mummery: Tales of the Bard Technologist
-Webfiction/RolePlay set in the FFXIV MMORPG world of Hydaelyn- In ancient times, Amon was an infamous, immortal Technologist - one of the legends of the late Allagan Empire. However, when calamity strikes his civilization, he's forced to place himself and the remaining Allagans into a time-locked sleep in order to survive. Fast forward many ages later when Amon and his people awaken once more. The world has drastically changed, and his kind is now deemed a threat. The heroic Alliance responded by sending a raid to eradicate the last Allagans, where Amon was ultimately defeated ...or so the world thought. Through his ingenuity and aetheric technology, Amon manged to cheat death. Only, things didn't quite work out the way he planned. Stripped of his magic and technological resources, Amon now takes on the guise of a bard as he struggles to build a new life in a time long after the fall of his empire. But, should the people of this modern time discover who Amon once was, he fears they would put an end to the bard technologist's tale. I've been writing Spot of Mummery since 2018, so there's quite a backlog of story to post! This story was also written before the changes made to lore released in the Endwalker expansion (December 2021). I will address these changes eventually, but only in later chapters - ones written after the expansion came out. I hope that you enjoy and look forward to hearing your thoughts!

Some cooking and some daydreaming within. (I see you slice of life) --------- WIP art by Katie Z.
