    My name? Not important, what's important is that my girlfriend is a vampire! Her name? Not important, what's important is that my girlfriend is a vampire! I said that twice for extra pizaaaaz. This story? A romance comedy that breaks too many 4th walls and has honestly very nonsensical narrative. I think you're better off reading junji ito instead of this.

    In the summer of 1956, the quiet Tennessee county of Redwood Vale begins to rot from the inside out. An unexplained illness spreads through the high school first-students collapsing in hallways, coughing scarlet threads, whispering strange phrases in dead languages no one recognizes. At Redwood Vale High, the yearbook committee becomes the final witnesses to the world before it dies. Seventeen-year-old Evelyn "Eve" Mercer, a shy, brilliant student with an obsession for philosophy and Eastern cultivation tales, starts noticing impossible things: - classmates glowing faintly beneath their skin - shadows moving against the light - pages in the yearbook changing by themselves - teachers speaking in voices that aren't theirs As the sickness tears through the county, the outside world seals Redwood Vale in. Power lines fall. Roads are blocked. Radios chant warnings that twist midway into occult sermons. The teens realize the illness is not biological alone-it's spiritual, ritualistic, and hungry. Their only hope lies in decoding the symbols that appear in the yearbook margins every day, symbols linked to a forgotten Xianxia-style cultivation practice buried beneath Appalachian folklore. But every revelation drags them deeper into psychological horror, unraveling their sense of reality. As Redwood Vale collapses into a post-apocalyptic nightmare, Eve and her friends must navigate dark academia secrets, apocalyptic landscapes, and supernatural trials-and confront the truth that the illness isn't killing them...

    "The Beowulf Poet and His Real Monsters" opens a new line of inquiry into the Old English poem, specifically trauma theory, which attempts to map the psychological typography of an author and his or her culture, that is, when the text appears to be wrought of traumatic experience. Indicators of a “trauma text” are narrative techniques often associated with postmodernism — expressly, intertextuality, repetition, a dispersed or fragmented voice, and a search for powerful language. The anonymous Beowulf poet made extensive use of all four narrative techniques, suggesting he and his culture were suffering from traumatic stress. The author brings together knowledge from myriad disciplines — among them history, anthropology, sociology, biology, and psychology, with special emphases on the branches of psychoanalysis and neuropsychology — and focuses his trauma-theory reading on the poem’s original language. The monograph was awarded the D. Simon Evans Prize for distinguished scholarship, and it has been acquired by major libraries across the globe, including the British Library, the Library of Congress, Australian National University, Qatar National Library, Notre Dame University, Duke University, and Purdue University — to name just a few.

    A story set in post-modern times, a strange ars story we ended up thinking of, & constructing - In Peru, City of Lima, abandoned by its owner, it's people don't know of it yet & the income is being sucked dry, as such people resort to desperate measures, .the country is on trial to it's doom, electricity is longer a reliable source. This ties with the concept of government greed & instability, the concept of money, a dystopian world, safety is a word that nobody can buy without a penny - (also ties with steampunk, n' retro-futurisitic settings) written by me (akito) and kat, cover made by kat, TYSSMSMITS SOGOG

    This story I could best describe as a stream of consciousness. It was originally written because I got bored writing a report and had some time to kill. It's absurd, weird, somewhat post modern and I love it. Please enjoy 1980, a story that just sort of appeared and doesn't mean anything.

Most of the children in the clan are born with a "gift" that is discovered and unleashed during a rite of passage ceremony. This is The Tale of Natobu, a fledgling that must forge his own path in these savage jungles.

    What is an Apostle? Who is Mikey? Why does the dog run? Five hundred pages of wandering thoughts, repeated moments, and absurd observations. A story where meaning disappears, yet curiosity persists. Where lions, tigers, food, and skin diseases collide with consciousness. A chaotic reflection on desire, emptiness, and the illusion of understanding. Read. Watch. Think. Or don't. The meaning isn't here - it's in you.

    Words spill across the page, a kaleidoscope of borrowed phrases and fragmented thoughts. The narrator ... or is it the author ? -- pauses, unsure where the story begins or if it has ended already. "In a world..." No, too cliché. Delete. [Scene missing]

    Griselda Pules is a boring girl, the only unique scruple of her otherwise monotonous personality being her ardent love of science. However, the road to her future in the sciences is blockaded by the death of her grandfather, after which she must take up the carrier pigeon business he sustained. At first she's bemused, as pigeons are kind of stupid, but then she must learn to defy what the pigeons expect of her... ((cover image is from unsplash.com))
