    Rustik didn't like to talk. What he knew, he kept to himself. He'd seen the tracks in the snow and the fear in Dyatlov's eyes. 'So we're being hunted... and what's more, our leadership has been quiet about that fact,' he thought to himself. He pulled his skis up the frozen hill behind a long line of Russian coats shielding sweating students. Frightened by man or beast he did not know, but Dyatlov was leading the group out of the trees long before it was safe to brave the high howling Siberian peaks at night. He was unmoored, Rustik knew that... Zolotov, Doro, and Zina were uneasy, too.There had been strange sounds late in the night and that awful stench of rotting meat. 'Was that all it took to unsettle these seasoned hikers? No, there is something more than folklore with us here in the Urals, thousands of miles away from human settlements.' Rustik reassured himself with a grunt and adjusted his pack to excuse a cautious glance behind him at the frost-tipped pines disappearing down the slope. All that savage-hearted northland was silent and still and nature's will for that remote place focused on making all of life's attempts to infiltrate the Arctic tundra also silent and still.

    Young Phillip Wisher had grown accustomed to living in a rapidly industrializing world. Man's genius has achieved breakthrough after breakthrough, forming stronger and more complex societies. Impressive machinery and scientific discoveries have unlocked capabilities of amazing creation and destruction. However, this world his kind had long made for themselves left Phillip a small, directionless life. After meeting a group of masked environmentalists, he refuses to succumb to suffocation civilization. Nature itself has called him to rid the Earth of its greatest mistake, humanity. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cover made by Alexile Art. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So, after my novel did not turn out quite in the state I would have liked, I had an idea. What if I just posted my next work by the chapter for free as a hobby? Well that is what I'm trying to do. Once finished, I will likely combine the whole thing into perhaps three books in a state with stronger editing. We shall see...

    The James Webb telescope put up late last year discovers much more than expected. It reveals the early fate for humanity. I wrote this short story as a project when I really should have been revising. It's about the new James Webb telescope put up by NASA late last year, and how it discovers something horrifying out in space. Writing this I managed to break a lot of the rules of physics and make up a lot of technical terms :D I've posted it on some other social medias but thought I would add it here

    Elias Thorne is one week away from losing everything. His childhood home is in foreclosure, and his only hope is a rusted iron key and a set of GPS coordinates left by his "crazy" late grandfather. The coordinates lead directly into The Blackwood Sector-a massive stretch of wilderness walled off by the government twenty years ago. The official reason? "Environmental hazards." The rumors? Something much more dangerous. With a debt collector at his back and a dead man's warnings in his pocket, Elias crosses the fence. But the inheritance isn't a pile of gold-it's a secret that has stayed buried for a reason. In a forest filled with lethal traps and silent watchers, Elias quickly realizes he isn't the only one hunting for the truth. To get out alive, he'll have to solve his grandfather's puzzles before the forest-or the people guarding it-claims him forever.
