Within our sparse knowledge of the universe, the spacetime continuum is our presently known model that tells us where and when things happen. But what of the other questions, other dimensions, and possibly the beings of these other dimensions? In the world of the Shadow Beings, the 'darkest' Shadows - the Demons - wake from their dormancy. Secrets begin to unveil and Audrey, a Shadow-Trapper, has to somehow bring everyone and everything together to stop madness from happening; a way to stop war. In the midst of all this, she will understand who she truly is. ?namuh os yeht era yhw ...sgnieB 'lautiripS' Warning: At times this book can be very vague/metaphorical, so I would not recommend it to people looking for a light read.

A misguidedly idealistic high school student founds a club to teach his classmates philosophy; when it becomes a cult, he must change course before the whole school drinks the Kool-Aid. Frank can think of no better way to prove his classmates have no moral compass than to write a manifesto satirically arguing for the virtues of selfishness; when this attempt at shining a light on his classmates' behavior is taken at face value, he creates a club to spread his teachings, hoping his ironies will be more obvious on a grander scale. The authoritarian rule of law he establishes meets little resistance from his club members, even as he wonders privately when they'll have enough and choose a more virtuous path. While Frank earnestly seeks to help his classmates, his methodology proves misguided in practice, and Frank must find where to draw the line before he permanently ruins his beloved high school. But then again, being a cult leader is too much fun to pass up... You Must Remember This adapts the foundation of Catch-22 in a high school setting, applying the same notion of dystopian bureaucracy to lampoon Silicon Valley's competitive spirit and, in these politically charged times, comment on the fragility of our own democracy. CW: minor character death (non-graphic), dark psychological themes (e.g. gaslighting), authoritarian regimes (including references to communism and Nazism) "Amazing, terrible, bourgeois horror" "At first I thought the story was about silicone implants" "I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves the classic American English course reading list or just wants to read something that will make them think."

(TO BE REWRITTEN SOON) 𝘛𝘰 𝘴𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘺. Born out of sadness and despair, demonic beings known as "Outcasts" seek to corrupt human souls, posing a threat to humanity's innocence. Raia Allen, a remorseless warrior and healer, joins the Nirvana Order--an organization against wicked forces--and becomes an Aragon, an official disciple. Thus begins her journey with one goal in mind while treading a thin line between being human and being a weapon. Armed with weapons blessed with power, Raia and her team take on the duties of hunting demons and searching for the Core, the key that determines the fate of humanity. Along the way, they find themselves fighting something much greater as they strive to be saviors in a seemingly corrupted world. But she isn't here to save; she is here to destroy.

Alicia Carson is in her last year of high school and a somewhat proud employee who works at a Burger King inside the airport. She had been working there for about three moths now and had already become familiar with the loud, never-ending noise and the busy rustling of people across the cold, marble tiles. She had also become familiar with seeing an old lady waiting patiently in front of terminal 49 at two in the noon sharp and leaving at only half-past two, when the doors would close in preparation of the next flight to land. There are infinite rumours about the old lady, as countless as the stars in the sky; ranging from her being a ghost to running away from a mental institutions. If only she had the creative imagination of her co-workers. Maybe then, she could properly decide and finish her long-dreaded and still incomplete essay for collage whose deadline, by the way, was fast approaching. But nevertheless, her mother raised her nicely and besides, what better way to find out the truth than get it directly from the source? Copyrighted @2020 Cover made by me.
