    King Archidamus of Athens had a simple problem:Socrates was too logical, too loud, and too annoying. His solution was even simpler: a diseased monkey, delivered as a gift. A flawless plan. It was, the Narrator would later note, the single worst idea since the Trojan Horse. Now, Socrates is no longer a philosopher. He's a projectile of muscle in a loincloth, "solving" civic disputes by throwing people into rivers and inventing a new martial art called the Dialectic Fist. His new girlfriend is a conflicted assassin, his pet is the hyper-intelligent simian emperor leading an army against Greece, and his only hope for saving civilization is a vat of wine stomped by the feet of a thousand unwashed citizens. Logic is overrated. Sometimes, you just have to go ape. (A tale of philosophy, kickboxing, and very poor life choices, told by a Narrator who is deeply disappointed in everyone.)

    Welcome to the library, a realm born from the depths of a twisted mind, where logic pirouettes with madness and chaos reigns supreme. Here, the absurd and extraordinary collide: knives twirl through the air in deadly ballets, lava pits echo with the wails of tormented souls, candylands brim with grotesque creatures spawned from the union of nightmares and dreams, and cosmic entities swap destinies with mortals in an eternal cycle of ascension and fall. Among the infinite corridors lies a father defying the fiercest storm for love, a man returning to the past to face the haunting truth about a long-lost friend, and a dead man meeting the gods in bizarre landscapes from myth and legend This sentient labyrinth of shifting shelves and living tomes is presided over by a Librarian whose essence infuses every creak and shadow. Within these twisting halls, whimsy and horror play an eternal game of hide-and-seek. Darkness offers comfort while light blinds. Comedy and tragedy trade masks with gleeful abandon, and the boundaries of good and evil blur into a haunting nursery rhyme. Beware, traveler, crossing the threshold will not leave you unchanged. The library's secrets dig deeper than any wound, its stories unraveling the fabric of your reality and opening more eyes than you thought you had. So, tell me: will you take the risk? Within these walls, knowledge and peril are bound together. Here is your key and card-a gift and a warning. The Library is watching, waiting. Whatever you expect, it will not be what you find. Good luck, brave soul-your journey begins now.

    11x featured wattpad story. Before everything, it's assumed there was nothing, but what if there was no real difference between the two? Just two extreme philosophies from the first conflict. The planet Huom has been under observation for longer than should technically be possible. The primary watcher, a bitter black hole, is excited to see that there is finally a proverbial Darkness at the end of the tunnel. Meanwhile, on the planet, in the freezing mountains of Empris, Lyeasrakardsul, the oldest living sorcerer, suffers from devastating nightmares. At the same time, far away in the sandstone desert of Zenon, Herschel, a man filled to the brim with weird ideas is escaping a prison filled with strange old men. What does all this have to do with arsehole Gods, hairy Dwarfs, frustrated Afreets, curious Knomes, lizard-women, and nude Áettar? Perhaps Nothing, perhaps Everything... but why can't it be both?

    1979. Coventry, Britain. Frankie Duncan, a young vampire, makes a strange friend just moved to the U.K. from New York. Unknowingly, both of them stumble into an international plot to control the structure of space-time itself, woven together with an oddly-named portable discotheque and a truly awful independent ska band. The city is looking like a ghost town, the streets empty, no one else rising up to the challenge. In a gray haze of brutality, discrimination, and restriction, it looks like Frankie and their new friends will have to riot to secure any justice in this cruel world. It's up to them, whether they like it or not. Will Frankie and the gang stand up for themselves, or will they join the crowd and succumb to the same violence that masks the British atmosphere? Find out in the haunting reflection of Street Feeling.

    Abandoned by the famous novelist who gave birth to her, Evangeline is being raised in a trailer park by a scruffy cat who smells like burnt toast, and the wind-up chambermaid (with key and torsion spring built-in) who found her in a laundry hamper. The teen years of a misunderstood artistic genius are tough. Her dreams of becoming a writer got quashed in infancy, and she only manages to earn a few crumbs of approval after she pivots to ballet. Too bad they come from Miskomin, the cheeky liar who lives a few doors down. As Evangeline's adolescence unfolds, the appearance of an unexpected competitor erodes her burgeoning self-confidence, and a predatory artistic director attempts to rewrite her entire world. Her desperate reactions to these influences and her subsequent return to storytelling bring her inner demons to life. Literally. Eager to master herself, Evangeline tackles a series of monsters, operates a murderous sewing machine, and befriends a sentient doll. Her misadventures help unearth latent abilities and force her relationship with neighbour and frenemy, Miskomin, to undergo a surprising evolution. As her creative journey unfolds, Evangeline gains the understanding and experience she needs to face the final boss: Herself. Will she learn to look beyond the artist she wants to be and accept the person she is? *I'm writing this novel as I go. This is a rough draft. I update every Friday evening Eastern Time. **Note regarding chapter images: AI is devastating the environment. Instead of continuing to use it to generate chapter images, I thought it would be fun to instead post non-ai images created by fans and digital artists eager to promote their work. Interested in contributing? Contact me via Discord: bjorkobirka. Artwork will be credited to the artist, and I can share the artist's contact information if desired. PG images only. Thank you!! I very much hope this story finds the readers it resonates with. Shout-out to my fellow weirdos!! Happy reading!

    Welcome to the Companion Update. Valve and Facepunch created advanced AI companions to fill in servers, pulling characters from every franchise imaginable, complete with their personalities and memories. The problem? The Companions are genuinely sentient. They have no idea they're in a video game. To them, players are "Operators", glitches are "reality anomalies", and their manic, basement-dwelling terminally online bosses are incomprehensible entities. This anthology chronicles their assignments as they try to survive a reality that doesn't make sense.

    [READ]: This book contains strong language and mentions of violence. Suitable for a 16+ demographic. The book cover is originally drawn by the author themselves, too. With the passage of time, the empty seat of the Director of the Sombre Arts remains void of any of the art's successors sitting on it for years. Its recent possessor of both seat and title mysteriously vanished and was presumed dead due to extensive searches throughout the continent of Agmadoren with no leads. However, instances of chaos began appearing without reason throughout the entire nation of Galamona; the balance of natural law descended into madness, as if foul play was involved. Would our protagonist, a champion of the Maidens of Darkness, find the source of the blight that begins to seep its mayhem throughout the peaceful nation? Set in a fusion of a steampunk world filled with European-Asian inspirations, read more as you delve into this whimsical, fantasy web novel with political play, as well as an extremely detailed look at the various creatures, magic, and locations scattered in the Path of Cathedra.

    Adrienne Thomas moves to Phoenix in 2020 for a reset: college classes, open mics, session gigs, and a desperate attempt to outrun a past she isn't ready to face. She expects heatstroke and paperwork. She does not expect the universe to hand her five musical weirdos who feel suspiciously like family. She meets Ryan first-polite, brilliant, mildly haunted by chord progressions. Ryan drags in Robert, a bassist and growler with a soft heart, a long fuse, and a denim vest with more lore than most novels. Robert reconnects with Edwin, a quiet guitarist whose riffs sound like ancient prophecies (and whose emotional vocabulary consists mostly of "asu"). Edwin recommends Marcus, a drummer from Norway who can keep perfect tempo and also deliver sarcasm in Mandarin. And Robert, against better judgment, calls Tom Helvering-a volatile thrash-metal savant with a talent level in the red and life choices in the blue. Together, they're a disaster. Together, they're perfect. Their first jam session is a mess that becomes magic. Their first group chat becomes a war zone of memes and screaming. Their first show is a basement fire hazard with great acoustics. And somewhere between the laughter, the noise, and the accidentally-spiritual chord changes, they find something they never expected: each other. This is the story of how Lightkeeper began. Of six strangers who didn't just form a band. They built a home.

    There is another dimension beyond that which is known to fictional characters. A collection of short stories, poems, snippets, vignettes, and everything else that crosses my mind and has no place in my current publications, or is waiting in the wings to find its forever home. Here is either where ideas are born, or where they go to die. We will be cruising at an altitude of morally dubious. The time is lost. The weather is sarcastic with a high chance of misdirection. Please, sit back, fasten your seatbelts, and enjoy the ride. Just know, there will be turbulence, and there is a shortage of chairs.
