When Terra is doomed, humanity's last hope launches into the stars aboard a generational vessel meant to carry civilization beyond extinction. But the crew is not humanity's best; only those bold enough to steal the future for themselves. Unbeknownst to them, a stowaway is trapped within the ship: a quiet technician who boarded only to correct a forgotten repair. He never meant to survive the end of the world; only to fix a mistake. From the shadows, he watches ambition rot into tyranny. In the vacuum between stars, fear becomes governance, governance becomes violence, and humanity's final sanctuary collapses into bloodshed. One by one, the self-appointed saviors destroy each other, leaving a single unintended witness drifting through eternity. Alone at the edge of existence, he confronts the question he has avoided his entire life: if survival is stripped of recognition, legacy, and audience what is its purpose? As the universe grows silent and the last human stands before infinite dark, THE END asks, "When clarity finally arrives, and there is no one left to see it, does it matter?"

Hercules Porter never wanted to become a hero. In fact, he hated most people, especially teenagers in his elite private school. The only person he believed to be worth saving was his sister. But then she goes missing. This forces Hercules to go on a hunt for her which leads him to The Eagles, a ragtag group of teenagers claiming to be heroes. He joins them and eventually goes on missions as he slowly begins to see the worth of humans. He has to fight crooks, masterminds and may have to kill the person who kidnaps his sister. Let the adventure begin. * This is a stand alone book from The Indigo Hero of Eagles but its more interesting if you read the other one first.

Poems about life and death, love and heartbreak and mustering the courage to go on - despite it all. Majority of this was written in 2020 and 2021 and hence is inspired by the COVID-19 pandemic, the lockdowns, the mandates and the heavy toll it took on our mental health. Having so much time to think about life led to a lot of existential angst - why are we here? and how do we come to terms with our ever-looming mortality? how do we grapple with the losses of people that we love? where do people go after they die? how do we cope with death? In short, it is a collection about both the darkness and lightness of life - about the realities of this ever-changing world that we find ourselves in. It was a way of coping for me in those long dark months - and I hope you will also find pieces of comfort and solace within these words - knowing that you are not alone, in your angst, in your worries, on your dark days.

A random exploration of a young woman's dream or fantasy guys inserted into the framework of a short story.

Coming of age is a quiet betrayal. We are promised a solid, dependable stage, only to find ourselves standing on the jagged bedrock of a profoundly cynical world. To cope with the cacophony, I spent years hiding behind the prospect of a "planned exit." I convinced myself that wielding the void as an emergency brake made me profound, treating my own fragility as a badge of honor. In truth, it was a grotesque charade. This is a reality check for anyone who has ever used the idea of the "end" to escape the grueling boredom of the "now." It is an exploration of what happens when the mask finally slips. We are all on a free-fall jaunt through the cosmos, and you will, inevitably, have to eat your share of the daily garbage. But once you accept the absolute finality of the great silence, you might just find a way to face the eventual oblivion on your feet, with a genuine smile on your face.

...well, where do I begin? we do not know where this story ends ..or where it will go , the writer writes according to intuition and...a word she will not say. she cannot think of a synopsis that will fit this story. read it if you will , or you might.. if you are an Artist, welcome. if you are a writer, welcome.. or you just want a good read. welcome... the Writer cannot guarantee, but try and stick to what soothes you. this might not be the norms of what you read it is fictional as well as realistic, a touch of the struggles of a person. a writer and an artist , with many other talents, struggles with anxiety, self worth, cynicism, depression, you've probably heard that before, might be cliche but I am at unawares, because this story is based on real life experiences. the experiences that probably have no idea. note. it is based. the writer will not disclose too much of herself. enjoy or ponder. the writer prefers you ponder.

A poor excuse of poetry.

Assorted poetry and prose. Basically a journal filled with cynicism and hope.

Meet Sara Waite. Beautiful. Charismatic. Intimidating. Philosophical. Bored. And frequently apathetic. Meet her best friend, Parker Bailey. Equally beautiful, charismatic, and intelligent – but slightly more approachable, and quite a bit less apathetic. And, finally, meet John, who has never backed down from a challenge. Ever. And he won't stop until he gets Sara to care about her life, the world – and, in the process, him.
