    Spectatists, hostilists, and pacifists. Those are the three categories, configuration in which a "natural" can live by. Originally a philosophy book introduced in a dystopian sci-fi novella called "Die of Three" as a plot device, written by the same author, this fictional in-universe object has now been brought to life by the power of a sleep deprived 17-year-old. [THIS IS A WORK OF FICTION!]

    A heartfelt and comedic tale about a lesbian skeleton working for the Afterlife's tax agencies, an insomniac Chancellor of the Exchequer, and an omniscent narrator trying to live and make a world run by dying institutions change for the better. Whether through revolution, tears, laughs or the breaking of the Soul Economy - no matter what, they shall probably win out and save the Afterlife and the Mortal Realm from an impeding, totally preventable doom. . . . though, for legal reasons, I must stress an emphasis on the 'probably.'

    A sublime confession how love for a man can sometimes be one sided and that in order for it to prosper, one must carry on why thinking of thoughts that will leave an abstract hole between reality and spirituality. How each word spoken are melted plates of gold that will never glaciate, and will only live on as a dream. an abstract longing, incurable and dispiriting. Thinking simply of thoughts, one must weight the heaviness of such emotion amidst the crisis of change.

    HE JUST DOESN'T KNOW WHEN TO STOP After falling asleep to a video of the "nihilist penguin", Lian Min wakes at 3 a.m. to wet footprints and melting snow in his studio apartment in a country of perennial summer. On tracing the footprints to the corridor, he discovers a world in stasis where he is the only one who can still move. That's the least of his worries, however. Various flowers begin sprouting in his living room and the footprints change trails without warning, leading him to discover things about his neighbourhood that he never knew and perhaps should not know. Then the trail goes cold.

    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.

    In a world where milk disappeared first, then meat, and finally everything else, only artificial cheese remains. Chad Spencer is a hunter, one of those who roam abandoned supermarkets searching for food that is still clean. Day after day, he drives west, collecting the same smelly, worthless cheeses, following a routine that has long lost its purpose. Rejected by every collection center, surrounded by dust, ruined farms, and empty roads, Chad slowly realizes that no one needs what he carries anymore. Yet he keeps going. Because sometimes movement itself becomes the only reason to live. A bleak, absurd, and existential short story about routine, false purpose, and the quiet madness of moving forward when nothing is left.

    The sun doesn't care if you're tired. It just burns. He has no name, no goal, no plan. Just cigarettes, a past he can't bury, and the endless sun above him. His mother is dead. The sea still moves. People speak, but he rarely answers. The days blur together in heat, silence, and the absurd repetition of a world that offers nothing. But even nothing gets heavy after a while. Dust Beneath the Sun is a quiet, philosophical descent into the mind of a man who watches life from the outside - numb, curious, maybe already dead inside. For those who've ever felt like strangers in their own life.

    Another collection of poems and unused song lyrics. The earliest ones date back to 2015 and 2016. A lot of them are complete absurdity. Like the title says. I decided to include a few poems from a poetry project back in high school, because I heard that my English teacher passed away.

    The term "absurdity" is very well known in literature and frequently used by the writers of post 2nd World War. They use this term in the manner of its meaning or even more than that in their works. The effects of War and human sufferings from that caused absurdism to flourished and also spread Nihilism, meaninglessness, nothingness. The aim and motive of this paper is to prove that the idea of absurdism may be new which is observed by absurd writer on human bizarre situation, but the existence of absurdism was already been used in the writings of Elizabethan writers or before that. In these writers the king of drama, William Shakespeare was also one of the most prominent in whose writings the existence of absurdity can easily be traceable when he is well known for his tragedies and comedies. Although this existence was not noticed by or tagged by the writers or critics of that time as absurdism, there was its presence on the large scale. This paper is going to compare the level of absurdity among the playwrights of absurd and absurdism in the select works of Shakespeare. The idea here is that the writer who is still incomparable also created the levels of absurdity in his plays unintentionally without being aware of the notion of "Absurdism".

    This instruction manual was found in a carton of indomie noodles, written on a series of sticky notes, and translated from the language of Orcas. Many pages are missing, others are coffee-stained, and a few appear to be written in some kind of ancient dance. But don't worry - that's exactly how life works anyway. Inside, you'll find emergency protocols for surviving Tuesday afternoons, troubleshooting guides for when your smile gets stuck in traffic, and soothing tales for when to lick your wounds and rest. All poems and stories come with a lifetime warranty of absolutely no guarantees. Side effects may include: sudden urges to stare at clouds, inexplicable sighs, alighting from your vehicle to pet street animals, wondering why moles keep popping up, and the peculiar sensation that you're playing a game nobody explained the rules to.
