But the more he attempts to mold Aikaterine into a worthy second-in-command, the more she disagrees with the Lord's methods and cruelty. Semius is a poor kid from the slums of the Northern Clans.

A sorrowful man spends most of his time inside his own mind as he deals with feeling of detachment and melancholy.

She doesn't speak about what happened. Not directly. Not yet. She writes it instead in fragments, in whispers, in red. ROOTS is not a traditional memoir. It's a body remembering. A girl vanishing. A woman returning through poems, letters, and the ghosts that won't let her go. "Some stories ain't meant to be told straight. Some got to be danced outta the bones." Told in a voice that is part stage, part prayer, part scream, ROOTS invites you to listen closely, but don't expect answers. Only echoes.

Work in progress the following collection of short stories is one that i've written and created myself, this is my first attempt at a short story collection so I hope it turned out ok! The Genre of said stories may vary but i put just as much effort into each one, hope you like it.

Lucile Bradle defies her mothers orders and leaves the comfort of Shollowbrooke, to explore the dark forest surrounding the village. What she hopes to find is far different from the dark horror hidden amongst the trees, watching and waiting.

In response to Reader requests, I have created & compiled a brief Index, a FAQ if you will, detailing some of the BASIC foundational tenets of The Withered Land and its universe. This is in no way meant to be a complete and encyclopedic listing of the many and diverse details about the planet Teshiwahur and its peoples, but it does serve to provide a central rallying point for the most common Whys and Wherefores of D'Spayr's world. Enjoy!!

"The Withered Land, The Empire Falls: Abyssium" is another early tale in the epic saga of D'Spayr's haunted youth, set three years Earth-time after the events of "Hell's Avatar" and nine years BEFORE he meets his comrades, Nygeia and Lumynn. He falls into the role of sellsword as he infiltrates the cabal of thuggish, bloodthirsty criminals among the forces of the government's army while assigned to the soon-to-be decommissioned moonbase of "Pex'Insava" orbiting some 380,000 miles above the surface of Teshiwahur. There, along with his scheming and duplicitous brother, he meets the artificially-evolved super-soldiers called "The Fae-spawn" and he accepts duties in one of their brigade-units as a mercenary consultant. The brigade runs afoul of a clandestine scheme to conquer Pex'Insava by insurrectionist terrorists using the Emperium's own fascist, anti-human mutant force, a ferocious Special Operations Counter-Insurgency military unit known as "The Nahztreme". Once the conspiracy is revealed, D'Spayr finds himself hunted and friendless except for the camaraderie of one of the most advanced members of The Fae-spawn, a vengeful, godlike super-being known as "Anthus Rohggym", and an enigmatic, moonborn woman-warrior named Reihn Valkonurr." ****************************************************************************************** Phenominal cover art by Stefanie Saw: @seventhstar

D'Spayr, the EARLY YEARS ... nearly two decades before meeting the Sorcerer-Princess Nygeia and before encountering the Traveler In Red, a young journeyman Knight named D'Spayr encounters a dangerous secret sect, battles against an angel-like rogue alien with a sinister plan, encounters mercenaries from the Emperium's galactic militia, and encounters the sinister predecessor to his most persistent enemy, The Pilgrim, in a sprawling adventure across Space and Time! *********************************************************************************************** Terrific cover art by Stefanie Saw: @seventhstar

Welcome to the future, where the line between reality and gaming has blurred. In this brave new world, Rosalind Grey is the queen of code, the architect of XP: Experiential Points, the first video game to take place in reality. But as launch day approaches, she is unceremoniously fired and her meticulously crafted game is let loose on an unsuspecting world. It's a worst-case scenario come to life, and only Rosalind and a crew of misfits can put the genie back in the bottle. They must navigate a world overtaken by the game, uncover the culprit behind the sabotage, and save humanity before the tropes and set-pieces usually found in JRPGs destroy them all.

**The fates of a barista, a dancing criminal, and a deadly stranger become tangled in a world where the apocalypse is old news** All Mads Capot wants to do is run her coffee shop in peace and to be able to pay her bills until the next wave of intragalactic tourists arrives.

Luc is mysterious and adaptable, a drifter with a dark past and a score to settle with one of the galaxy's most infamous criminals. When he crosses paths with Mads, he inadvertently draws her into a complicated world of outlaws, renegades, and ancient curses existing on the fringe of a destroyed world. Can they put aside their differences to survive, or will they end up as two more nameless corpses?

Just some short stories from a prompt book I got to get the cogs in my brain to start working. They will most likely cover a few different genres and, to be honest, won't be very good. I appreciate any tips, feedback, and constructive criticism from any seasoned writers! Please enjoy my interpretations of these prompts :)

"I'm not chasing ghosts. I'm just trying to find something that feels real, something that doesn't slip through my fingers like sand."

I'm really f**ked up, so here's something to shed light on it however you see fit.

They may have escaped the cultish laboratory of their youth, but now have to navigate normal human life without exposing their secret.
