    A meditation on the false glory of war and the price paid by those who fight it. Through the voice of a questioning witness, The King's Folly challenges the honor, courage, and victory often attributed to war, exposing instead the grief, loss, and destruction left behind when kings send others to die for their ambitions.

    Iron Coffin is a grim, two-chapter short story set on the Eastern Front during World War II. Following the crew of a German Panther tank during the Battle of Kursk, the narrative plunges readers into the suffocating reality of life inside an armored behemoth-an "iron coffin" that promises not glory, but an early grave. Through the eyes of Hans, the commander, and his weary crew-Otto, Paul, Ernst, and Karl-we see the slow erosion of hope as they push into a furnace of fire, smoke, and steel. The story refuses to glorify battle, instead laying bare the claustrophobia, fear, and futility that defined the Eastern Front. When the Panther is crippled and consumed by flames, the promise of invincibility shatters, leaving only loss, trauma, and silence in its wake. Iron Coffin is not a tale of victory or heroism, but of inevitability-an anti-war meditation on the human cost hidden inside machines of war.

    A short story blending fiction and poetry - a haunting tale of war, loss, and the unexpected power of a child's voice. When hatred fuels destruction, sometimes it's not a weapon, but a poem, that changes everything.

    One day, he was jogging along the Rhine River in Germany when he encountered fog. Lost in the fog, he switched to another planet. This planet was similar to Earth, but different. It was not a time travel, but a different planet. One obvious point here was that there was plenty of sunshine and no cold. The trust between people was much better than on Earth, and there was no war...

    A standalone, polished version of the poem from my story "Ink Over Swords." Written from the perspective of a 12-year-old girl caught in the crossfire of war, this piece is a plea for peace - a reminder that even in a world divided by borders, we all share the same sky, the same pain, and the same hope. Sometimes, the smallest voices carry the greatest truths.

    Válka nezná vítěze. Zná jen seznam věcí, které po nás zbydou. Deset mikropříběhů. Deset předmětů. Jeden konflikt, který mění lidi v čísla a domovy v sutiny. Od mrazivých zákopů u Vuhledaru přes vybombardované kuchyně v Pokrovsku až po klimatizované kanceláře na Západě. Inventář zbytečnosti je literární pitvou války na Ukrajině, která nehledá hrdiny ani padouchy. Je to příběh o: 📱 Modrých fajfkách na displeji, které se nikdy nezmění v odpověď. 🥾 Botách stažených z mrtvého těla nepřítele, které hřejí cizím teplem. ✒️ Peru, které jedním podpisem posílá smrt tisícům, aniž by se ušpinilo od krve. 🌲 Papírovém stromečku v kabině náklaďáku, který marně bojuje s pachem těl. V této sbírce neexistuje dobro a zlo. Existuje jen utrpení, špína a tenká hranice mezi člověkem a monstrem.

    Yaveria 1917, is a fictional story based on the Sentran universe. The time is set in 1917, exactly the last year of the 2nd Yaveral War. The story will be included three main characters, which will be set in different time settings, making three separate chapters in the series. The story will dive deeper into the soldier's insanity, the truth of what war itself is like, and the endless shellshocks that seemingly will never end. The only thing they know; is mud, iron, and their own blood. Survival is no longer seen as a hope, but pity from God himself. "Never think that war, no matter how necessary, nor how justified, is not a crime." - Ernest Hemingway Any artworks featured here is purely made by me. Inspired from Centaura, by ClassicMasterNoob

    L Company, famous for developing Bully Game-a morality game designed to teach players about the violence of bullying-released a full-scale war game titled InBel. In J Country, which had continued its military invasion of P Country under the banner of reclaiming a sacred land, InBel was adopted into military training programs to improve soldiers' battlefield judgment. But then frontline soldiers who had played the game began committing suicide one after another, and the fifty-year invasion of P Country started showing signs of collapse. Was InBel actually a secret weapon developed by P Country, a nation unable to match J Country's military power through conventional means?

    This is the story of Alfred Freeman, a boy who does everything he can; to serve humankind. He feeds five-thousand youths, salves-saves-and-soothes; and champions the maligned. He helps paralytics to feel fine, turns water into wine; and gives sight to the blind. When World War One draws near, his nation is plunged into fear; and so Alfred makes a stand. He opposes the war and calls for peace, disobeys the police; and speaks out across the land. He makes speeches, and he preaches; using statements which sound grand. But the authorities hit back, and launch a potent-attack; which is full of disgust-derision-and-disdain. Alfred is threatened with execution, and suffers from persecution; which leaves him writhing in pain. He struggles to survive, remain alive; keep cool and stay sane. 'Involution & Evolution' is a masterpiece of rhyme, with a message which echoes through time; and will get inside your head. With colourful-characters and poetic-flair, it is a scathing critique of modern-warfare; and all its gory-bloodshed. It's a novel which breaks new ground, is sure to astound; and really must be read!
