A questionable collection, Inkblots & Blood Clots weaves tales that are based in truth, and bathed in blood. Balanced somewhere between the sane and the deranged, these stories will leave you wondering where the line between reality and fiction is crossed. While all these stories stem from first-hand experiences, they have been dramatized to some degree (except for those that haven't) for entertainment and artistic purposes . All names have been altered to protect anonymity. ⚠️ MATURE CONTENT AHEAD - Please see full trigger warning list. ꒷꒦︶꒷꒦︶ ๋ ࣭ ⭑꒷꒦꒷꒦︶꒷꒦︶ ๋ ࣭ ⭑꒷꒦꒷꒦︶꒷꒦︶ ๋ ࣭ ⭑꒷꒦꒷꒦︶꒷꒦︶ ๋ ࣭ Cover art by the talented @G0thicTemplE

In the kingdom of Qadar, where alien technology fuses with ancient tradition, Prince Zayd lives as a prisoner of duty. Refusing the cybernetic enhancements embraced by his brothers, Zayd clings to his humanity, even as his father's tyranny crushes his spirit. Desperate for freedom, he makes a deal with a Djinn bound in a glowing bottle. But the Djinn's deal comes with a hefty price. Cursed with cybernetic enhancements tied to his heart and erased from the world's memory. Zayd must journey east, beyond the Gridlands, to fulfill the Djinn's demand. He must confront the consequences of his wish. "The Bound Heart of Prince Zayd" serves as a prelude to the Qadarran fantasy novel series. The novels, blending the magic of Arabian Nights with a sci-fi universe, are set to debut on Wattpad in late 2025.

A misguidedly idealistic high school student founds a club to teach his classmates philosophy; when it becomes a cult, he must change course before the whole school drinks the Kool-Aid. Frank can think of no better way to prove his classmates have no moral compass than to write a manifesto satirically arguing for the virtues of selfishness; when this attempt at shining a light on his classmates' behavior is taken at face value, he creates a club to spread his teachings, hoping his ironies will be more obvious on a grander scale. The authoritarian rule of law he establishes meets little resistance from his club members, even as he wonders privately when they'll have enough and choose a more virtuous path. While Frank earnestly seeks to help his classmates, his methodology proves misguided in practice, and Frank must find where to draw the line before he permanently ruins his beloved high school. But then again, being a cult leader is too much fun to pass up... You Must Remember This adapts the foundation of Catch-22 in a high school setting, applying the same notion of dystopian bureaucracy to lampoon Silicon Valley's competitive spirit and, in these politically charged times, comment on the fragility of our own democracy. CW: minor character death (non-graphic), dark psychological themes (e.g. gaslighting), authoritarian regimes (including references to communism and Nazism) "Amazing, terrible, bourgeois horror" "At first I thought the story was about silicone implants" "I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves the classic American English course reading list or just wants to read something that will make them think."
