"I never asked for friendship, yet you gave it to me." An introvert who likes to go outdoors. An extrovert who's friends with one person at a time. Summer's daytime lasts longer than the night, inviting everyone out to play. Sabito, a child who's lived through tragedy and neglect for his seven years of life, enjoys spending time in the playground built within his apartment complex. An orphaned child who lives with an aunt who can't be bothered to take care of him. Despite having a lazy aunt who can do nothing but suck the life out of a lit cigarette, Sabito's independence is greater than the typical seven-year-old child. Thanks to his father's teachings before that disaster, he can scrape by each day --alone. Unable to let go of the past and his deceased parents, Sabito becomes absorbed into his own mind, survivors guilt weighing down his small shoulders. As a prisoner of his own thoughts, he sits on the swings and tries to forget about the responsibilities he faces when the clock reads 'home time'. Squeals and shouts from other children make his hands move to his ears, but he can't block out the happiness in the air. Happiness comes looking for him. Valerie, the polar opposite of Sabito's reserved, sophisticated demeanour, comes along to unlock the naive side of a matured brain. As she begins to show him the world in colour, a friendship develops between the two. Best friends forever are what they say. Keyword: Forever. Content: Mentions of death/suicide

Following the murder of his species' ruler, riots make blood and suffering become Vishnear's daily life. He desires nothing more than peace for his people. The priest's life takes a turn, however, when the primordial deities elect him to be the next leader. They grant him godlike powers, and his people expect him to use them. The problem is he can't summon them-not without complications. Fearing failure, he elicits help from a god, Sytrix, who promises to reveal his true potential. But he finds more questions than answers when a feisty Wikev is captured. Yet, through everything, what Vishnear fears the most is not the threat of war, the awakening of the lost deities, or the budding, forbidden attraction between him and the female Wikev. It's the secret hiding beneath his skin. ***** First draft, so not refined yet. Started as myth shorts (hence strange beginning chapters). Constructive feedback appreciated, especially in chapters beyond chapter 3.

When a deepspace research facility goes silent the company sends Even Tennec to investigate. Here he finds an unimaginable horror. This is at its heart a story about a mystery. It is a story about survival in the face of horror. Story is a draft. There will be errors and problems. Edit: Draft is now complete. I enjoy comments so if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask. It is the year 2519 AD. Humanity has spread to the stars. Rosenrot RD104 is a red dwarf system on the outskirts of populated space. It has a single known satellite, a so called super earth, about which orbit a handful of moons and the ill-fated Rosenrot Station. Even Tennec is a company investigator, with a reputation for achieving results no matter the cost to others or himself. Even has secrets. Some secrets even the company does not know. But secrets are everyday life on Rosenrot Station.
