Ari Callahan has no idea how to talk to boys -- or how to talk to anyone for that matter. Enter Zac, the cute new guy in town who won't stop texting her. But is his interest real, or does he have a hidden agenda? ***** Found as a young child washed up on the beach, 17-year-old Ari Callahan has never uttered a word out loud to anyone -- not even her adoptive family. Psychologists have diagnosed her with a condition called selective mutism, but Ari can't help identifying with her namesake character, Ariel, the little mermaid in the fairytale whose voice was stolen by a sea witch. Mermaid-obsession aside, Ari's silence makes socializing tough. She's never had a boyfriend or been asked out on a date. Not until Zac, the confident new arrival in town, asks for her number. But Zac has his own reasons for texting with Ari. He's part of a movement to sabotage the artificial music app called SirenSong, threatening to render human singing obsolete. Zac's collaborators have scoured the globe in search of a singing voice perfect enough to break the SirenSong spell, and their search has led them straight to Ari's beachside town. Will her relationship with Zac help Ari find her voice and unlock the secrets of her origins? Or will he use her and leave her high and dry? Title: Ari and Zac (formerly The Mermaid Hypothesis) Content Warning: This story contains references to selective mutism, suicidal thoughts, and early childhood trauma.

Military #656 from 900+ Kaito was new to the highly revered Peace Department, an government and military associated department working to keep the country in order and in its absolute peace status quo. In his supposed first mission to foil a planned terrorist attack, the department was fed with false report nearly resulting in a complete annihilation of the elite team. In the wake of this danger, the department then decided to restart project S.U.T.S, a project to develop medicine that would gave birth to super soldiers. It was a straightforward plan, if only the original super soldier did not try to protect Kaito, if only the boy did not realise the truth behind the project, and if the traitor did not come from within the Peace Department itself. Shadow Under the Sun is a 61,000 words speculative fiction, a blend between thriller, action, and discussion on politics and governance set in a fictional dystopian country. The story follows the main character as he went from a nationalist to a rebel who plays a role in overthrowing the current totalitarian government. The setting of the country itself was subtly made in reference to the totalitarian New Order (Orde Baru) era in my home country, Indonesia.
