Thanks to the @ScienceFictionAmbassadors for adding my #speculativefiction #sci-fi #TheOneWhoEatsDreams to their #dystopocalypse reading list. The One Who Eats Dreams is a speculative fiction novelette, and a blend of fantasy, science fiction, and magical realism set in a dystopian South Africa, where the boundaries between dreams and reality blur. The story unfolds in a world marked by the rise of the Bubbles, shimmering domes that symbolise privilege, contrasting sharply with the struggles of those outside their confines. Central to the narrative is the legend of the Dream Eater, known as uMdli wephupho, (the one who eats dreams), a malevolent spirit that consumes dreams and has awakened due to the introduction of Dream Dust, a substance that offers an escape but leads to addiction and despair. The prologue introduces the rich mythology surrounding the Dream Eater, describing how it once served as a guardian of dreams but became corrupted by darkness. As technology advances, the whispers of ancestral wisdom fade, leaving dreamers vulnerable to this insatiable hunger. Review: The blending of African mythology with modern technology in "The One Who Eats Dreams" effectively captivates the imagination through its rich cultural context, emotional depth, and innovative storytelling. By exploring themes of identity, tradition versus modernity, and the consequences of escapism, the narrative invites readers on a thought-provoking journey that resonates on multiple levels. This unusual fusion not only enhances engagement but also encourages reflection on broader societal issues, making it an intriguing read for those interested in complex narratives that challenge conventional boundaries. The upcoming novelette explores themes of addiction, loss, and the struggle between tradition and modernity as characters grapple with their realities and strive to reclaim their dreams from an encroaching darkness. Willa and Melusi become: Mel-a. (Dedicated to you).

The Weaver and The Shaman is a modern fantasy ballad that weaves together romance and technology in a richly imagined future. At its heart are two unique characters: a dream weaver who spins protective dreamscapes with her ethereal magic, and a digital shaman who walks the sacred paths of code and technology. Their love story unfolds in the spaces between reality and dreams, where binary code meets ancestral magic, and technology dances with tradition. Through their complementary powers, they protect dreamers from the dangers of dream dust while discovering that their own destinies are intricately intertwined. The ballad explores themes of magical innovation, spiritual connection, and the power of love to bridge different forms of magic in a world where dreams and data coexist. Review: The Weaver and The Shaman - A Modern Techno-Mystical Romance This innovative ballad successfully merges traditional poetic form with contemporary speculative elements, creating a unique contribution to the growing genre of technological fantasy poetry. The piece stands out for its smooth integration of cyberpunk elements with mystical traditions, all while maintaining the classical ballad structure.

In the realm of Vellara, books are not just stories-they are living worlds, inked into existence by the hands of ancient scribes. For centuries, the Grand Archive has safeguarded these enchanted tomes, ensuring that no one disturbs the delicate balance between fiction and reality. Kael Dain is a young scribe apprentice burdened with an ability he was never meant to have-the power to "unwrite," to alter the words of any book and reshape the worlds within. It is a talent so rare and dangerous that the Grandmasters have forbidden its use. But when the legendary Codex Eternis, a book capable of rewriting existence itself, is stolen by the rogue scribe Orion Vale, Kael is the only one who can track it down before reality begins to unravel. To retrieve the Codex, Kael must step beyond the library's safety and into the very stories that have shaped his world. Journeying through magical realms-each with its own treacherous laws-he faces living myths, ink-born creatures, and a power far greater than his own. At his side is Riven Calder, a mercenary with secrets inked into his very skin and a past he refuses to reveal. Bound by an oath he won't explain, Riven becomes both Kael's protector and his greatest mystery. As Orion's rewrites twist reality into something unrecognizable, Kael begins to question his own role in the story. Why does the Codex seem to call to him? What truth has been erased from its pages? And as his bond with Riven deepens, Kael faces the most dangerous rewrite of all-one that could alter fate itself. With the world crumbling around him and the line between reality and fiction blurring, Kael must make an impossible choice: restore the book and preserve the story written by those before him or take up the pen and rewrite his own destiny.
