Post-modern Stories

The year is 2008(AD), and the world is in the throes of another 70s revival. Nobody knew how or why it all began. That is the least of humanity's problems, however. Reality itself seems to be breaking down, to the dismay of scientists, corporate titans and the ruling elites/reptilian demigods that have lorded it over the existing structure for countless eons. Secret agent Cassius Croon is hired to investigate a series of particularly bizarre events transpiring around the globe. They suspect he is the One. Actually, he is the None.

The winner takes it all, and the loser has to fall. ╱ ORIGINAL

Albuquerque East High is supposed to be the most progressive, PR‑friendly school in New Mexico... so of course it's a disaster. Between taxpayer-funded K-pop pep rallies, mandatory "mindfulness" workshops, and a Student Council that runs the halls like a pink-washed dictatorship, the air here is thick with manufactured joy and desperate clout. It's a place where the social hierarchy is decided by TikTok views, and the chemistry teacher looks like he's one bad day away from a very violent career change. Into this circus walks Sebastian Vale: a gothic shadow with an old‑school 80s aesthetic, a razor‑sharp tongue, and a hatred for clout culture. He fronts a niche goth band called The Stigmata, hangs with the art freaks and rivetheads, and would rather set himself on fire than join Drama Club or Glee. The only thing weirder than the fact he might be psychic is that he's one of the few actually sane people on campus. Colliding with him-literally-is Lexi Monroe: East High royalty, Cheerios darling, social media it‑girl, and self‑branded "future icon." She lives online as @LexiLuxe, drives a pink Mercedes, wears Lava Springs money, and thinks "goth" means Billie Eilish core. One hallway crash, one spilled latte, and one ill‑fated eye contact later, Lexi decides Sebastian is her next project: the brooding goth boy she'll turn into the internet's newest aesthetic obsession. He wants to stay underground. She wants him to go viral. Surrounded by Wildcats, Plastics, Glee kids, skaters, juggalos, conspiracy nerds, foreign exchange weirdos, and a chemistry teacher who's one bad day away from breaking bad, Sebastian and Lexi stumble into a messy, darkly comic romance. This is a story about love, cliques, and the ugly truth behind "picture‑perfect" high school culture. Welcome to East High, where not everyone sings, not everyone is okay, and the real drama isn't on the stage, it's in the comments.

STUPID PEOPLE ON TV is a surrealist slacker hangout trip through the strange nature of time, identity, and cable programming. Bones, Carla, and Lucky-three overeducated twenty-somethings with a loose grip on reality-gather in a half-furnished rental house to watch bad television and drink thawed peyote tea. As the analog signal flickers and the cactus kicks in, their jokes and digressions spiral deeper into surrealist philosophical weirdness. Bleakly funny, Stupid People On TV is a lo-fi psychedelic chamber play about lost love, loops in time, and the dream of meaning in a world that mostly wants you to shut up and watch the ads.

Angelie Dubois, a French-Filipino supermodel from a high-rise city, has lived a gloomy childhood. Like autumn leaves, she felt her life was falling apart bit by bit. And like a wilted tree, her heart shriveled and crumbled in thoughts of her forgotten love. In Autumn, everything withers. The blades of grass are turning brown, dried leaves are falling down, days are getting shorter, nights are getting longer, and hearts are falling in and out of love. Though autumn looks depressing, it's the sunset of every year. It is a symbol of the end and a new beginning. Life starts over again when it gets crisp in the fall. - Written in English (only) - Pending... - Stand-alone [though in the same universe with Passions of Spring]

"I can't sleep but I can dream of us." Luke Jones has always been an insomniac. His lack of a full four hour sleep has got him convinced it's the source of his poetic powers but also that he's dying soon. So he makes the most of his nights, writing songs and playing them when no one can hear. That is, until Nora Perry heard the ruckus that kept her awake. The noise which actually became one of her favorite things to listen to. Soon, Luke gains more than a muse and Nora loses more than her sleep as midnight walks, rooftop talks, and secret serenades became the norm. But as the sun comes up, college classes, current relationships and their vastly different futures dawn on them. Will their feelings ever make it past the sunrise or is their love too skinny to last?
