Mindbender Stories

this is just a scene, just a chapter, just a page, just a life. -l.w.

Karl doesn't always understand why the Portals drop him off where they do, but he trusts to always land where he needs to be. To play the role he's been given. He certainly has no idea what his next move is when the Portals drop him on Dream's childhood backyard, long before the creation of the Admin he knows and fears.

EON VEIL A mind-bending sci-fi descent into identity, memory, and the spaces between stars. Adam wakes up alone on a starship called the Eon Veil. No past. No crew. No way home. Only the hum of the ship... and a voice that shouldn't exist. The Eon Veil isn't just sentient-it's responsive. It shifts with thought, adapts to fear, and reshapes itself based on what it remembers about its passengers... Or what it wants them to remember. As Adam explores the ship's labyrinthine corridors, he's pulled into otherworldly simulations, alien planets, and dreamscapes that blur the line between memory and reality. And just beyond the Veil's glass skin, strange celestial phenomena begin to appear, impossible anomalies that pulse and evolve in sync with Adam's mind. The deeper he searches, the more the universe seems to reflect him back at himself. Each step forward uncovers not just the truth of what happened aboard the Veil... But the truth of who he really is. Accompanied by a glitchy, sarcastic AI orb named DeadMouth and a haunting, shape-shifting presence known as NYX, Adam is forced to confront a terrifying possibility: He didn't survive a tragedy. He might have caused it. Or maybe... It never happened. Memory is a fragile construct. Especially when the ship remembers better than you do. THE VEIL is a lyrical, psychological sci-fi epic that fuses cosmic horror, emotional depth, and existential mystery. Perfect for fans of Annihilation, The Expanse, SOMA, Black Mirror, and anyone who likes their science fiction thoughtful, terrifying, and strangely beautiful. He's not just exploring a ship. Or alien worlds. He's unraveling himself, and the universe is listening. Some doors were never meant to open. But some were always waiting... just for him.

Twenty-two years after the tyrannical Vox Dominion crowned itself the single, righteous harmony of the world, the four elemental Orders smolder at their breaking point. The Resonants rule by Sound-nobles who weaponise vibration to rupture organs and shatter stone. The Cenobites drift in desert smoke, hiding the last prophecy of freedom beneath shifting ash. The Verdants grow armies from living wood, yet rot spreads through their once-immortal canopies. The Liminars steer currents of thought itself-scribes, spies, and silent rebels who remember every crime the Dominion tries to erase. When Kaiya Lannor, an illegitimate Liminar senator's daughter, steals an Imperial memory scroll that hints at a sleeping smoke-born weapon, she ignites a hunt that will redraw the map of power. Prince Zevran Vorres-scarred Resonant heir turned disgraced field captain-is ordered to track the thieves, only to glimpse the war's atrocities through Kaiya's forbidden mind-mirror. In the ashes of their first clash lies a truth neither can outrun: the ancient myth of the Concordant, a single soul able to bend every element, has awakened-and the Empire will deafen the world to claim her. Betrayals, sieges, and stolen memories spiral toward a reckoning where harmony itself becomes a blade. The first note of the Unison Wars has been struck; its echo will either unite the four Orders...or silence them forever.
