What kind of nightmare lies between dream and reality? An inescapable place exists in the deepest depths of the mind where a clawed predator is on the prowl. Desperately running away or hiding is the prey's only hope for survival. And waking up is but a temporary relief as the sky must darken again. Pure mental torment. This is the gruesome fate of Dionte Harris on the first night of December. The new month brings a chilling ordeal that's impossible to forget, even long after the sun rises. When acts of betrayal can't be tried in a court of law, two victims sentence their enemies with their own punishment. These prisoners might not ever experience a peaceful sleep, and the wounded pair responsible can receive satisfaction in their suffering. Unless a beacon of light from above provides an exit, illuminating a path for the lost through the darkness.

The screens on the sides of buildings were already on, advertising Particle City as if it were a perfect world. Ads of the Emperor and his dazzling smile. Posters of "happy" street-sweepers. And on the side, there was a large image of a Particle City worker facing the city's symbol with these words in-between: 'Til Death Do Us Part. A couple of days ago, those pictures would've reassured her. Comforted her. And now, it only clawed sharper at the odd ache in her chest. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ In the dystopian society of Particle City, happiness is shoved so far down a person's throat, it's hard to tell what's real and what's not anymore. Most everyone there is internally crumbling, but under their commander, humanity is simply a suggestion. So they put on a happy face and do their work. Astra is one of the thousands upon thousands of victims trapped in this vicious cycle of fake smiles and oppression that seems unbreakable. When she finds out the secrets of her beloved society, things unravel into a rebellion she never saw coming.

Flip Sable is twelve, living in Sionisp-a territory where winter forces its people to migrate or die, and the woods are ruled by things no one names out loud. Life is quiet, tense, and fragile, held together by family routines and unspoken fear. When the season turns and the final migration begins, Flip finds themself caught between responsibility and instinct, faith and doubt, childhood and something far less forgiving. As the journey unfolds, strange signs, uneasy encounters, and old beliefs begin to press in. Flip must navigate a world shaped by gods, loss, and survival where watching, listening, and remembering may matter just as much as strength.

Earth, 20 October 2120 Today, I'm flying to Singapore to visit my brother. But something changed. Midway through the flight, our plane was attacked. Red snow began to fall, the sky darkened, and creatures from myth stirred in the clouds-watching, whispering nameless fears. Now, I can't tell who I'm supposed to save first... or if any of us can still be saved at all.

🌟AMBYS 2025 GRAND FAVORITE🌟 In 2052, a catastrophic scientific experiment tears four lives away from Earth and into Transitopia, a hidden realm where memory breathes, cities gleam like crystal, and nothing obeys the rules they once knew. Stella, Joshua, Darsy, and Dart wake in a world suspended between wonder and ruin, where the boundaries between human and something else begin to blur. As they struggle to survive, they are drawn into a conflict far older and more dangerous than they understand, one shaped by power, grief, and the fragile balance between worlds. Back on Earth, scientists race to explain the disaster that left their bodies behind. But in Transitopia, another war is already stirring, and the four may be the key to saving both realms or destroying them. As secrets unravel and reality begins to fracture, Stella, Joshua, Darsy, and Dart must decide who they are willing to become in a universe that has never stopped watching. In a story of loss, transformation, and parallel worlds on the brink of collapse, TRANSVERSUM asks one question: what if humanity was never alone to begin with?

Approx. 78000 words Also available for download at Smashwords (www.smashwords.com/books/view/929789 Background: When I was 12, I started reading a book that alludes me now, but I would love to remember what it was! There was a boy, in a cave...crystals were involved...it inspired me to start writing Crystal Guardian (then called Space Pirates - changed to avoid comparison to the children's show!) I'm a slow writer...I stop and start, and reedit. This novel looks nothing like the Space Pirates it came from! I didn't finish until I was 19. Before I started university to study writing...so it is flawed, but I look back on it fondly. Probably heavily inspired by Star Wars...oops.
