he reminds me of atlas
world resting on his shoulders
waiting for the day his knees will crush
under the weight of his guilt
he whispers his apologies like a hymn
there's no love in staying with him
for he is burdened with the sky you cannot hold
he reminds me of hades
lurking in the shadows
pressing his pomegranate seeds in his palms
waiting for the day
his persephone arrives
he whispers his apologies like a hymn
there's no love in keeping her there
for she was born to bring out the spring
he reminds me of apollo
blinded in his love
drowning in his sorrows
he whispers his apologies like a hymn
there's no love in bringing him back
for hyacinthus is dead

A reoccurring nightmare afflicted Khan's nights since the Second Impact. His dreams replayed the scenes of the crash of the Nak's spaceship, an alien race that the humans had defeated five hundred years ago.

This book follows five regular people that find themselves in the midst of the zombie outbreak. Here they must face themselves, the infected and their many mutated counter parts and other survivors.

8 181Purple Scales - A Reincarnation Story
Ssssssss...... A simple story of a man brought into a world of fantasy, magic, and systems by a crude God as some sort of a deal we may never know. Although.... he's a snake. Your typical honest-to-goodness brightly coloured danger noodle with venoms and all. To be precise, a magical snake with lots of growth potential. Follow the story of Randy, a pushover whose commands by God only being "survive, and grow big", on a journey to... well... survive and grow big, as he discovers what the world truly has to offer. Which is not much. Hopefully, not too much. A typical reincarnation story, really, but it might just satisfy your thirst for these kinds of stories. I'm just an amateur writer hobby-writing on my spare time, mostly for private consumption. This is also a practice on me developing gamelike-systems in literature. Will contain lots of swearing Any criticisms and feedback regarding storyline, language, and thematics are welcome. As this is a spare-time hobby, updates are not, will not, and will never be predictable. I will try my best, but don't get your hopes up. Inspired by a few other works on this site.
