"if you are born into a burning house, you are often led to believe the whole world is on fire, even though it's not."
these lines have been engraved into my mind these last few years that i've sat in this house; engulfed in flames. the only problem is, i do strongly believe the whole world is on fire, and it's burning to the ground.
but all fires start with a flame, and all flames start with a spark.
as a child i was told i really had a spark in me. i know they meant i was gifted and had passion, but i've led myself to believe the spark that caused the chaos rests much deeper then just a house on fire.
the fire was inevitable. a spark born into a world made of gasoline, in a house built from cigarettes.
i look around me at all the rubble and ash and started to question, who was the arsonist?
and was i really born into a burning house?
is it even on fire?

8 158Office Days
Follow Captain Monday and the Weekdays team as they fight the good fight against the villainous Weekends. Oh, and file form a33-2 before eoq3. Comes with a dash of The Office and Office Space plus a side of Super Hero satire. Office Days is episodic in nature. So each story is standalone and may vary in length and focus. The Monday Case is the first episode and serves mostly to introduce the characters broadly. Comments get +Rep for effort. This setting was intended to be a comic series but I never found an artist for the job... probably for lack of trying. The "art" is for concept only... it took me far too long to make and it's still all sub-par.

8 120Displacement
or, Deux Navires Passant dans la Nuit If you wake up in a new world, with only your memories of home to guide you, you have to trust the first people you meet. The first people Leah meets seem to know her - but not her. Leah is thrust into a fighter's role that does not quite suit her, and those who 'rescued' her do their best to help her fit in. They hint at a world that Leah can only vaguely understand without serious research and exploration, but how to do that research, when everyone believes her to be a local of this place, and too many questions might draw unwanted attention? And what about home? The more Leah learns about this world, the less she believes that she woke up on the right side of the bed - or more accurately, on the right side of the conflict. With magic being strictly regulated in her current "home," maybe it's time to uproot and look for a new set of allies... -- Displacement is a queer / lgbt bodyswap isekai: Leah Armande falls out of a Quebecois city into an unfamiliar fantasy world, and Leah Talesh falls out of her adventuring party's homeland and into an unfamiliar industrial world. The story follows both women as they navigate their new surroundings, trying at times to find a way home, at times just to pass for a local, and at times to actually make a life for themselves in their new world. Expect in-depth politics and worldbuilding, sapphic moments, foibles, and far too much time spent either in libraries or convalescing (or sometimes both).
8 199Other-Terrestrial Episode 2 - "Vitriol"
After barely surviving their encounter with the sleeping Leviathan twenty-five light years from Earth, Captain Brooks and his crew search for an individual whose mere presence may protect them from the reality-warping abilities of the beings. While officially called Cerebral Readers, they are known in the wilds of space by a different name - Seers. Directed towards a distant colony, long cut off from Earth, they have nothing as much as a name to begin their search with . . . Other-Terrestrial is a hard sci-fi story with cosmic horror elements.
8 58Virtual reality: Chaos theory
Rak Devion is a Scion of the Devion family. Scion in this case meaning a descendant of a rich family. Rak like every other human is thrown into the virtual reality named after its creator, Chaos theory. This reality is the artful design, some would say machiniation, of the General Artificial Intelligence Chaos theory. Chaos theory has a singular purpose that has manifested itself in such a way that the world falls into its control but the apocalyptic end never comes and instead a rather dystopian world emerges, one in the form of a virtual reality and the other the changing reality everyone lives in. The story revolves around the experiences of Rak Devion, one of Devion’s family children. He enjoys creating business opportunities and follows the family motto to charge a head and forge new paths.
