* CURRENTLY ON A HIATUS * "Live for the people. Wait for morning." In this world, Xenophobia, also known as the fear of the unknown, is different. The people fear "the Unknown," which is a place home to a terrifying dream or nightmare no one would ever want to have. Everyone loves dreams - from soaring inhumanely high in the sky to twisting and bending what we all assume is the impossible. But, there are always those dreadful nightmares that we all loathe. They come to haunt you in your deep slumber, and, just like dreams, anything and everything are possible. Nightmares - the deepest, most appalling thoughts in your mind - come alive, as soon as your consciousness dissipates. You're vulnerable in your sleep, whether it be in a dream or a nightmare. Every night at exactly 10:00 PM, life in the city of Kanix comes to an abrupt halt, and everyone enters a dystopian, chaotic universe known to mankind as the Unknown. People die in this odious hell of a nightmare, and all they can do is wait to see if morning comes. There may be many creatures lurking in the shadows from dusk till dawn, but the Unknown is home to one beast in particular: The Grim Reaper. Every injury, from a mere scratch to a broken bone, is real. Everything that occurs...is real. And it's all because of the otherworldly beings that surreptitiously control the city and its people. The population of Kanix refers to them as "Karmaniacs." They are puppeteers that control each citizen, and they enjoy every moment of death, heartbreak, and vulnerability as if it were a game. After all, they don't experience fear. (cover made by the lovely @TorissaNikole)

[COMPLETE ✓] Rumour has it that a new guy is joining our class this year. All the girls are going crazy, imagining all the case scenarios from cliché YA books: mysterious, rebel, bad boy, werewolf, fallen angel, even vampire! The worst part, I don't even think they have read the books; they only watched the films. However, it doesn't make much difference to me, it's not like he is going to see me. No one sees me. Oh but don't worry, I got used to this and I learnt to enjoy it. Believe me, being unseen has its perks. I'll show you. ⋙⋘ Illustrator: Sarah Bochaton
