Cowboys and dinosaurs. Where the western world had saurian denizens as normal as six-shooters. ═══════ 𝙿𝚁𝙴𝚅𝙸𝙴𝚆 Randall's scowl deepened. "It seems we differ in our understanding of what constitutes cruelty to God's creatures. I have no desire to subjugate nature through force when harmony can be cultivated through ethical practices. Our goal is to empower mankind through merit, not shows of dominance." Shaw's smile tightened slightly at the rebuke. "You paint me as some brutal slavedriver. Where does your morality stand with the hadrosaurs that pull our carriages? The Centrosaurus' ploughing your fields without pay or vacation, helpless before any whip or spur? Even the natives have already made use of Pachies (Pachycephalosaurus) to safeguard their land. A few scars mean little to creatures that dedicate their lives to man's service. These dinosaurs depend utterly on humans for survival. We could shoot them all and make this a man's world when we wanted. Oh, that's right! We did." ═══════ 𝙰𝙲𝙷𝙸𝙴𝚅𝙴𝙼𝙴𝙽𝚃𝚂 x12🏆 Contests awarded x2⭐ FEATURED on @ReshapeIt and @HistoricalFiction ═══════ 𝙷𝙸𝙶𝙷𝙴𝚂𝚃 𝚁𝙰𝙽𝙺𝚂 #1 | Old West (2025) #1 | 19th Century (2025) #1 | 1880 (2024-2025) #1 | Animal Cruelty (2023-2025) #1 | English Literature (2023-2025) #1 | Speculative Fiction (2023) ═══════ Written and published: 5 July 2023 - 6 Oct 2024 Edited: 27 May 2025 - Present *33 Chapters total!

After losing all of his memories, a man wakes up in an unknown world where nothing makes sense. All the natural laws are broken, the objects have no physical logic. The only thing he has is his own mind and a diary to write everything he thinks of during his loneliness. Will he be able to achieve what he wants? To escape this new universe and go back home, to remember what happened and why he is lost, to finally find others like him in a world that isolated him? Or will he be trapped there forever with nothing more than a diary? "Dear Diary: Faded Home" is a psychological thriller that is meant to show a reality, but also an illusion of the real world. While the story is pure fiction and it is not based on real events, it can also happen in the real world even if we are not aware. But after all, reality can also be an illusion.
