She had no reflection. He had every reason not to be believed. When Marsh arrives in the fog-bound valley town of Virenholm, he's carrying everything he couldn't leave behind - a difficult year, a history of not being believed, and a talent for noticing things he wishes he hadn't. His neighbour Annie is warm, perceptive, and exactly what he needs. She arrives at the right moments. She says the right things. She knows his history before he tells her. She has no mirrors in her flat. In the oval mirror in Marsh's bathroom, something is wrong. His reflection moves a half-second late. It raises the wrong hand. It mouths words he can't hear. And as the fog deepens and the canal holds still water, Marsh begins to understand that the most frightening thing in his flat is not the reflection - it's the person downstairs who is very carefully building the case that he's losing his mind. Drawing on Slavic Zerkalo mythology and South Asian Chaya tradition, The Hollow Twin is a folk horror novel about gaslighting, the self you can't perform away, and what it means to trust what you see - even when everyone tells you not to. For everyone who was told they were the crazy one.

Edmund comes to the remote village of Black Thickett to escape the life grief has carved out of him. He wants silence. Distance. A place where memories can't follow.

And on a noticeboard full of dry flyers, only one poster is wet. A missing boy, smiling as if he doesn't know he's lost. The villagers won't talk about the disappearances. The forest at the edge of the village seems to breathe, and the deeper Edmund goes, the calmer he feels... dangerously calm. The forest can quiet his pain. It can ease his grief. It can make him forget. But not everything that heals you wants you to survive. Welcome to Black Thickett, where you'll find my entry into the ONC 2026.

Kitsune means fox in Japanese. The japanese believed that all foxes had powers. it is said that the foxes like to play pranks on people some are harmless others are lethal. Not all foxes are said to be pranksters some are kind to humans though it is rare.

I think some of these might be cringe, I haven't checked. Anyways I hope you enjoy. I spend a lot of time on these and always think I improve with each one. Most are based on Japanese stuff (hence the names)

A boy and girl who grew up entwined and tangled get split up by the sharp knife of envy and the heft axe blows of competition.

The fragile space between the ordinary and the unexplainable- where a passing shadow lingers too long, a stranger knows your secrets, and familiar places turn quietly hostile. Each story explores true events my near and dear ones encountered and I got to know from their mouths. A moment of crossing: a step taken at the wrong hour, a voice heard when no one is there, a choice that cannot be undone. The characters who wander into these pages are ordinary people- until they find themselves standing at the threshold of something vast, watchful, and unknowable. Not all encounters leave you unchanged. And not everyone returns.
