In a dystopian future where every word is monitored, staying neutral is the only way to survive. Sara has spent years avoiding attention-playing both sides, following the rules, and protecting her daughters at all costs. But when a routine school visit turns into a checkpoint interrogation, everything begins to unravel. One daughter is selected for the Ethnic Beauty Initiative-a programme designed to control bodies, loyalty, and the future. The other is already attracting the wrong kind of attention. And now Sara has been marked. With a surveillance badge tracking her every move, even her thoughts are no longer safe. As rival factions tighten their grip and fear spreads through the streets, a voice from her past offers something dangerous: a way out. But escape comes at a cost. Because in a world built on control, hope is rebellion-and rebellion is punished.

It claws at my mind, tearing through my brain to try to get outside. Alas, I won't let it. I'd be damned if I let it escape, so silent, I remain.

The poor pay more, yet they are the proudest. Pummeled, punished, and proud. But from a single invitation after years of unknown interaction, a fair but fierce maiden gets to see how the other half lives: unbound, unstressed, and unbelievably distant. When 30 million light-years at 30 times your size ask you on a date in a literal blink of an eye, can you say 'No?' (Cover made with Autodesk Sketchbook and Adobe Spark)

In the distant future, life on Earth is mysteriously coming to an end. To ensure that the last of mankind dies out in a peaceful and civilized manner, the authoritarian Elders manage both dwindling resources and human lives in a strict quota system. Yet none of their precise calculations could have predicted the Throwback Effect — the impending extinction is triggering the young men in their society to revert to a primitive state of pure survival instinct. Liam, a supply pilot, and Lily, the daughter of the Head Elder, are childhood sweethearts. After discovering that Lily has been ordered into Involuntary Suicide by her own father, Liam leads a group of Throwback rebels in trying to conquer and colonize a suspiciously Earth-like planet covertly protected by the Elders’ Council. Little does Liam know that he’s disrupting an ancient cycle that will prove catastrophic for both planets — and his future with Lily. Note from author: This is the first completed novel I'd ever written. I submitted it to publishers, got a revise and resubmit from a major house that didn't work out, and moved onto other projects. Now, a few books later, I woke up one day and decided it's time to give it another go. I'll be re-editing the original manuscript in segments with skills I didn't possess before, and post them here on a regular basis. Enjoy and please let me know what you think of it :) There's just something about this story that speaks to my heart, and I'm so honored to share it with you.

Valaz hates the organization, it's spread across the entire universe except for earth - the rebels' last safe haven. I may revise this later but it's 'complete' at the moment.

Poetry and prose reflecting the reality of life - from the murder of George Floyd to the brutal killing of Ejaz Choudry in Canada, the power imbalances in life create horrific nightmares for individuals, families and communities. My poems and prose reflect the raw emotions in these scenarios but also give a sense of hope in ultimate justice. They seek to shed light on some of the fundamental values we hold as human beings. As a Muslim I believe these values are universal - shared by everyone. I will try to add poems and short prose on a monthly basis or as the need arises. Enjoy and share. ~ Farhad

This dark, strategic Twilight universe story exposes the hidden war that never reached daylight, where rebellion didn't fail-it was erased. Deep beneath Volterra's ancient stones, a quiet movement formed. Not reckless. Not emotional. Calculated. Immortals who understood the system too well began coordinating beyond the Volturi's laws. No violence. No noise. Only intent. And that is why they were unstoppable. -until they were noticed. As Marcus senses bonds forming outside sanctioned loyalty, Caius demands immediate destruction. No trials. No mercy. Prevention over punishment. But it is Aro who makes the most dangerous choice of all: invisibility. No public executions. No martyrs. No memory. Because the greatest power is not terror-it is silence. What follows is a chilling dismantling of rebellion at its most vulnerable stage: Leaders removed before they are known Networks severed before they are visible Evidence buried before history can remember No battles. No heroes. No witnesses. Only obedience... perfected.

Lux in tenebris; a 'light in the dark fantasy' conveying grandiose themes through the lens of intimate storytelling and characters. Emphasized is the profundity of the individual, through the weight that certain individuals might carry with regards to convoluted webs, or organizations seeing resolution through the acknowledgment of the individual. Narratives that weigh lives disparately, deified authors, and insignificant death taint the world of storytelling as egoistic in nature, and innately cold. It is foremost a demonstration of the world's navigation tool, the mind, as well as all the nuances that accompany the gift of observation. A narrative may be observed through human eyes, but Kigeist is spoken through the mind. All men are born equal...? The process of equating is itself a byproduct of the ego. An impossibly powerful bureaucracy. An ancient genetic power revived in man. A maze of thrills draws you through the endless, storied world of a visionary action epic. Was it so that salvation rested out of reach as the distant blue stars? By the dream of night, you reach out. Are you called awake? To exist? Seek the truth. This book is available in seven full chapters at your favourite digital retailer: https://books2read.com/u/3nX096 Front illustration by Elena Krutenko. Masckerdoom
