It was all blue.
Blue and white, to be exact.
The room around me was all blue and white, not a single window, not one opening, no way for any colour to seep into the space. Even as I stood, colour seemed to elude me - blue, white, blue, white...
Where the hell was I?
My hand flew to my temples as I felt myself fall, my body hitting the cold, white tiles as an image formed in my head.
It was late at night, and I was all alone on the road. 150 on the dash, the headlights my only company, the music at full volume as the moonlight hit the water to my left.
Being alone was peaceful, I thought.
But I wished...
I wished I was with her.
I felt my nerves loosen, my complexion relaxing as the image of this girl formed in my head, this girl whose name I couldn't remember, who I couldn't quite place.
Her hair is the most beautiful thing about her, thick and the richest shade of brown. It frames those big, brown eyes, that seem to mesmerise me in a way that I can't really explain.
Her lips, held in half a smile and half a smirk, hold me captive. The way in which she holds herself, the epitome of determination and confidence, draw me in. Her skin shimmers even though there is no light touching it. Not here, in this colourless place.
I imagine sitting across from her, driving with her by my side, the way the moon would highlight the sharp angles of her face.
Who is she?
"Son?"
I jerk upwards, rising to my feet.
"Son, are you alright?"
Father.
It's like I'm a cicuitboard, and I've been reset.
My mind seems to blank as my eyes close and my body makes contact with soft bedsheets.

White bedsheets.
And, like clockwork, the same, disturbing thought resurfaces.
Who am I?
I slip into another world as my body once again relaxes, words, colours, places flooding my thoughts, some sort of malfunctioning loop that won't stop playing.
It was late at night, and I was all alone on the road. 150 on the dash, the headlights my only company, the music at full volume as the moonlight hit the water to my left.
Being alone was peaceful, I thought.
But I wished...
I wished I was with her.
My nerves loosen again. Clockwork, as the hand reaches the top of the hour.
Her hair is the most beautiful thing about her, thick and the richest shade of brown. It frames those big, brown eyes that seem to mesmerise me in a way that I can't really explain.
Her lips, held in half a smile and half a smirk, hold me captive. The way in which she holds herself, the epitome of determination and confidence, draw me in. Her skin shimmers even though there is no light touching it. Not here, in this colourless place.
I imagine sitting across from her, driving with her by my side, the way the moon would highlight the sharp angles of her face.
Who is she?
There it is again. The same thoughts, plaguing me, eating away at whatever sanity I had left.
Who am I?
Who am I?
Who am-
"Son."
Father.
And once again, darkness floods my visions, the unfathomably monotone inky blackness of the void flooding my brain.

Leftover Apocalypse
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] This is a story about the newly-adult Calliope Smith having a terrible day that ends in her getting mysteriously teleported from Phoenix, Arizona to a fantasy world where her life is in constant danger. She considers this an upgrade. Someone evil is looking for her, and she doesn't know why. Someone who seems to know a lot about her has promised they'll help her, but she doesn't know who they are. All that matters to Callie is that magic is real and one way or another she's going to learn it. The end of the world is coming up, sure, but Callie won't need to worry about that. In fact, by the time she even finds out about it one of the doomsday devices will already be destroyed, and the authorities will be well on the way to dealing with the other one. It's fine. Everything will be smooth sailing. Almost certainly. Probably. Chapters are usually about 2500-3500 words, and the goal is to post 2-3 per week but I sometimes get busy or have some writers block. It's your standard portal fantasy / Isekai premise, but unlike some the main character's time on Earth and how she got pulled into another world will (eventually) be explored. Some slight GameLit-feeling stuff later, no menus or level-ups but there's something suspiciously like a skill tree when the magic system gets going. No number crunching, and while the main character will get to do some silly stuff she won't be a god like in some fics (and will in fact spend a lot of time being badly outclassed by her enemies). Some reader interaction, ranging from adding to the worldbuilding to occasionally making big important decisions about skill progression. Please note that the main character is flawed and impulsive, and will make some stupid decisions. That's part of the story, but I get that it's not for everyone. Trigger Warnings: Foster care system references, crappy parenting. Some mental health adjacent stuff, specifically the main character has some issues where she experiences varying levels of empathy and emotional vulnerability depending on the day (it's complicated and not meant to portray any real-world conditions). Occasional violence including mention of death and grievous bodily harm, but no detailed descriptions of gore.

The Monster Inside: The First Vampire
Despite appearances, there was once a time where monsters did not exist. Where peace and prosperity reigned over all life. But those sinful and demonic forces that had hidden themselves in the shadows just couldn't help themselves could they? They wanted a piece of that prosperity too. They wanted to taint it, corrupt it, revel in its dark side.This is the story of a boy who was tainted. Of a boy who unintentionally bore a seed of sin and who in his naivety let it out. This is the story of how that boy was shamed and disgraced. Of how he was outcast for simply being. This is the story of how that boy learned to embrace the darkness that made him different. A darkness that would later make him known as the Lord of Night. Note to Reader: I understand this book is not for everyone, if there is a writer that can write to please everyone, I have never heard of them. The MC can be frustrating in his decisions as he learns to grow and accept what and who he is. I believe this reality is unavoidable. That being said, if you feel the need to give a review, please do so, just know that I will report you if all that review seems to do is blab toxic language and insult my literary choices without giving constructive advice or alternatives. That's not just a me policy, that's a policy of this website. I'm not writing this note because I'm a writer who does not acknowledge that there are faults in my work. I know there are. That's what happens when it hasn't been professionally edited by someone other than the author. I'm saying this because I'm sick of reading 1 star or 0.5 star rated reviews that seem to do nothing but hate on the book because they don't like the story. No comments on grammar, ways to improve or suggestions for better story arcs. Just plain hate. It's not on, and I frankly shouldn't have to write this note, but needed to get it off my chest. In saying all that, thank you to those who do leave reviews that don't fall into the above category. Your appreciation of my work, or alternatively, your willingness to give advice for improvement, is appreciated.

Infested
One billion people from one hundred thousand universes have been dropped onto a singular planet five times larger than Earth. In the corner of their eye were three numbers: 1,000,000,000. 15. 10. Nobody could figure out what it meant until fifteen years after the initial transportation, as out of the blue, a message repeated itself in their minds for twenty-four hours. “Only ten can return. The rest will die. There is no time limit,” Following the global message, genocides ran rampant, with established friendships broken, families ripped apart, blood alliances betrayed, and leaders felled in seconds. How? [The Evgnomon] The Beholden; hidden throughout the realm were artefacts: weapons, information, tools from beings and societies of a higher plane. It was up to the humans to scour the land and take them by hook or by crook if they ever wished to go back. Whisked into this world as a mere babe, I suppose it was lucky I didn’t die in the chaos. But as I stare into the rotten, tattered pages of the accursed book laid upon the pedestal in front of me; and the unnerving gaze of our professor trained onto the back of my head silently pressuring me to become the avatar of grotesques unspeakable and undecipherable to the human mind. O, how I wish I did...
