*3rd Place in the Four Leafed Clover Awards* My original anthology of unsettling flash fiction. Short and 'sickly'-sweet chapters. Stories range from: ✓ ageless Russian high schoolers, ✓ a guy that dies every time he travels between dimensions ✓ star-walkers who wear the dead, and ✓ a bio-tech virus that consumes animals and humans There's even a 3-part horror ARG (Alternate Reality Game) about a Nature Reserve where children go missing and come back differently after interacting with [REDACTED] Primates. Oh, and there's a drawing of a not-frog that promises he's a real frog. Allegedly. 🐸

Heba Badran grew up in a funeral home, raised by an Egyptian mortician. She believed her night terrors were nothing more than bad luck. Until they spoke on her sixteenth birthday. The protection of her Anubis amulet waned, and the voices were no longer contained: they were horrors forged in chaos, hunting for demigods' hearts... And they wanted hers. Soon, Heba discovered a hidden world filled with children of the gods who are ruled by laws, judgments, and Egyptian deities who do not forget. Silence, anger and pain once kept Heba safe. Now it may be the reason she's hunted. **FIRST DRAFT** + SHORT CHAPTERS + INCLUDES DIGITAL DRAWINGS + POLLS AFTER EVERY CHAPTER +WEEKLY UPDATES Follow the story in real time. 👻✌️💀

*****A gothic Wednesday AU***** Reichenbach Academy has always thrived on silence. Pressed uniforms. Polished stone. Perfect control. And something ancient buried far beneath its halls. When a student collapses mid-class with glowing sigils carved into his skin, the administration insists the situation is contained. The students don't believe them. Thorn Rosales, a half-vampire psychic known for trouble, hears the disturbance before anyone names it. A song threading through the academy's bones. Xavier Thorpe, haunted by the Hyde and his past at Nevermore, begins drawing the same symbols appearing across campus, as if something is guiding his hand. Together, they uncover a truth Reichenbach has spent centuries burying. This is a slow-burn, lore-heavy gothic mystery about power, memory, and forbidden connection. Where silence is a weapon, and the walls are starting to sing.
