    They called it Jamaican food. They lied. Every bite, every smell, every morsel screamed neglect and disrespect. This isn't food-it's arrogance plated as cuisine. I've had real Haitian food. I know what care, love, and flavor taste like. This? It tastes like death. Like the animal was killed hours ago in someone's backyard and dumped onto a plate with zero respect. The meat is tough. The vegetables limp. The grains bitter. Every bite feels like a crime scene in my mouth. I can smell the indifference. I can feel the negligence clinging to me like a second skin. This story is unapologetic. It's raw. It's chaotic. It's the truth about a plate of food that claimed to be something it's not. I push the plate away, but the disrespect lingers. The energy of this "meal" haunts the table, the restaurant, and me. And I will not hold back. I will not sugarcoat. Life deserves honesty. Flavor deserves reverence. I deserve respect. If you've ever tasted food that insulted your soul, you'll understand this rage. If you've ever been promised culture and received death on a plate, this story is for you. Every word is a punch, every line a reminder to never swallow lies disguised as something real. This isn't just a rant. This is a rebellion. This is truth served raw, unapologetic, and explosive. Warning: This is not for the faint of heart. It's chaos, it's fury, it's honesty. If you can handle the taste of reality, read on.

    Welcome to HollowBrook a picturesque college town with smiling neighbors, scripted lives, and a stage beneath every streetlamp. When Kirius Vulpino enrolls at Orius Victus College Institution, he expects lectures, textbooks, maybe a bit of drama. What he finds instead is a town where nothing is real and everyone is watching. The sky never quite sets. The actors never quite blink. And the roles everyone plays? They're not just performances. They're bindings. Kirius begins to unravel the horrifying truth: HollowBrook isn't a place it's a show, and the audience is something far beyond human. Everyone has a part to play. Fail your role, and the Script rewrites you. But what if Kirius was never meant to follow the script Or is it just him following his role? A town of illusion. A cast of broken souls. A cosmic performance that cannot end. ⸻ CONTENT WARNINGS: Themes of existential dread, manipulation, mental breakdowns, unreality, trauma, and horror.

    We all think we know the true story of the past of Undertale. ... we THINK. But what if we don't really know? What if a far darker tale is yet to be told? What if a secret darkness lurks in the shadows, waiting to strike? What if it's what really got Chara... ...and what if it comes back? (This AU is by my friend Star. I asked her if I could write a fic of it and she approved. It's still a work in progress, but I'll add in more details later)

    Alice thought it would be another ordinary night at the morgue. But when she unzips the body bag on table number three, she finds more than a nameless corpse. The scars are hers.

    Deep in the heart of an African town lies a market that only appears at nightfall.
