A burning pain erupted through my throat. How could I let this happen? I was just trying to do a job with my partner Kyoko and then it happened. The stinging pain in my neck. She couldn't do anything to stop it. I just let the darkness consume me. Is this what it's like to die? "Shuichi!" "Shuichi!!" "SHUICHI!!" ... Maybe becoming something that you weren't meant to be can make your life better than it would have been...maybe somethings were always meant to happen, not for the pain but for the greater good. .... Saiouma/Oumasai Vampire AU I have wanted to write a vampire AU for a while and finally got around to it! Completed

"This book speaks to anyone with a neurodivergent brain, that may feel like an alien here on earth. I swear Browning made me laugh and cry and question reality...sometimes all in the same sentence." -JD Todd, author The universe is a very strange place. It will take even stranger heroes to save it. Potto is dim-witted, extremely forgetful and incredibly naïve. He wasn't always this way. Aye-Aye is devilishly shrewd and has boozed his way into a comfortable existence of incompetence and sleaze. How they ended up being two of the most wanted aliens in the galaxy is anyone's guess. Chased down by every oddball bounty hunter in the known universe, and befriended by a libidinous assassin, a fire-breathing reptilian, and a telepathic tree, their misadventures take them past Earth (the mall planet), to a floating sex circus, a planet of killer stuffed animals, an underground spaceship impound lot, and to a planet of reasonably priced bungalows. All while flying around in a ship powered by the brain waves of a psycho killer. A great prophecy proclaims that only "one of light, and one of dark" can save the universe from the dictatorship of The Node. That can't be Potto and Aye...Potto doesn't know what the word prophecy means, and neither know how to spell it. Part sci-fi epic, part absurd dark comedy, I Don't Seem So Bright in a Well-Lit Room is a comment on human behavior, depression, anxiety, and self-esteem. But way more fun than that sounds. So, do up your space seatbelts...it's going to be a bumpy ride. Despite the lack of potholes in space. (Sci-fi /Dark Humour/Absurd) *Completed! Enjoy!

Andrea Vlčková úspěšně odmaturovala na umělecké škole, dostala práci v jednom maličkém nakladatelství a teď ji čeká zasloužené volno. Ovšem se začátkem června zjišťuje, že tyhle prázdniny nevypadají tak dobře, jak si vysnila. Kamarádi ze střední se rozutekli domů, objevovat města, kam se přihlásili na univerzitu, nebo se opálit k moři, a poslední tři měsíce studentského života najednou nejsou vůbec tak skvělé, jak by měly. Celé léto se najednou ocitá v nudných šedivých tónech, které nepřebarví ani tempery, a kvůli nimž nestojí za to převlékat se z pyžama. Tuto rutinu nabourává až cesta do kavárny, kde se setkává s vrstevníkem Jakubem. Pěkný, hodný kluk, který se zdá naprosto bez chyb; neohlíží se za každou sukní, nemá zálibu v alkoholu, nezdravý vztah s expřítelkyní, a dokonce se ani nesnaží prorazit přes TikTok. Přesto má jedno velké tajemství, jehož udržení se stává čím dál těžší.
