Retelling Stories

A retelling/reimagining of Poppy Playtime based on the events of Poppy Playtime Chapters 1 through 5. The story follows a young adult man in his mid-to-late 20's by the name of Cameron Wallace, who interned at the Playtime Co. toy factory over a decade ago as a teenager due to his father, Patrick Wallace, working there as well. After the mysterious disappearance of the staff just days after he and his father left, Cameron receives a lead over a decade later that his former co-workers may still be alive but trapped within the factory. Following the clues left to him, Cameron returns to the abandoned Playtime Co. factory once more to see if he can solve the mystery of what happened on August 8th, 1995, as well as what was going on within the factory that led to his father's suicide years after their departure from Playtime. (This story, like the original game, may describe unsettling topics. Take caution while reading.)

He made her coffee every morning. He picked up their son from school. He loved her like it was the only thing he knew how to do. She had him framed for crimes that didn't exist. He is Aditya Deshmukh: betrayed by his wife, hated by his son, wronged by the system, loved by an obsessive woman. She loved him even after knowing he loved another woman. She loved him so much that she pushed him into the jaws of death. She wished him dead and now that he's dead, she'll do anything to get him justice. She is Medha Gehlot: the woman who was never chosen by the man who was her everything. Note: This is for readers who loved The Count of Monte Cristo. For readers who want a revenge story that asks whether one must become a monster himself to defeat the monsters responsible for the rot in the whole world. For readers tired of perfect heroines - who want flawed, obsessive, impulsive female leads who have the heart to go into the depths of hell for love but lack the maturity and wisdom to choose letting go. Content note: contains prison violence, institutional injustice, and emotional devastation. You've been warned."

"Ye shaadi humare liye sirf ek sauda hai aur kuch nahi." In the golden sands of Jaisalmer, Abhay Pratap Singh is the Reaper-a king who rules with an iron fist. He took a throne through bloodshed and forced a woman into a marriage of revenge, only to exile himself to the shadows of London. Two years later, the Prince of Ice has returned, but he finds Kashi waiting with a sword to his throat and a fire he can no longer control. But the Sheesh Mahal holds more than one ghost. Samar Pratap Singh, the younger prince, returns from a decade in exile to a debt of honor he never signed for. Bound by a father's vow to a woman who has every reason to loathe his name, Samar is forced into an engagement with Gauri-his childhood sweetheart turned stranger. The Storm is fighting to keep his heart from melting; the Sea is trying to bridge a trench of ten years of silence and lies. Two brothers. Two destinies. One palace of mirrors where every secret is a heartbeat and every kiss is a battlefield. In the Sheesh Mahal, trust is the most expensive commodity... and the price of love is paid in blood. A Little Rambling... "This story is a heartfelt tribute to the legends that shaped my imagination; certain characters and arcs are lovingly inspired by my favorite works. I carry their essence forward in this new journey of my own. If you recognize the ghosts in these mirrors, know that they are here as guests of my heart." (An Alternate Universe retelling written to explore these characters and their dynamics through a healthier, different lens.)

One disciple stayed when all others ran. One disciple understood what love truly means. This is the story of John, the one Jesus loved, a retelling of the Gospels that explores the deep, faithful, and holy bond between them. A story about how love is never a sin, how perfect love casts out fear, and how the greatest commandment was always simply to love, freely, fully, and without shame."

"Who are you?" she asked me exasperated. Her breath uneven, features frustrated. You know me I want to say, I don't reply. I watch her. "Where the hell did you come from?" she staggers in her steps. Tilting sideways, going off balance. I catch her in my arms. Breaking her fall, steadying her. A faraway land of another time, I want to say. Her frustration builds up and my silence only fuels it. With angry tears in her heavenly eyes, she grasps on my shirt. "You haunt me. I close my eyes, I see you. You are always there, but never quite in reach. I can't stop thinking about you. Look at what have you done to me? You made me insane" "Laura" is all I say and she collapses. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Never in all these years, she thought she would see her again. But the beautiful thing about history is, it repeats. And when it does, it is so hauntingly perfect. Then it plays the cards. Same people, Same setting A tale long lost, repeating

Swept to a magical land by a tornado, Dorothy Gale and her dog Toto, must find their way back home to Kansas. Along the challenging adventure, they make three new friends who are each searching for their own hearts desire. The friends encounter many obstacles along the way, including a vengeful Wicked Witch and other strange and interesting creatures that live in the land, all while learning more about themselves in the process. Loosely based off the book The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is a 1900 children's novel written by author L. Frank Baum and illustrated by W. W. Denslow. It is the first novel in my version of the Oz series of books. *** The first tale in my adaption of the fantastical Oz series by L. Frank Baum. My adaptation of Baum's first book, "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz," remains faithful to the original narrative structure, while introducing captivating modifications to the storyline, origins of certain characters, and the fusion of select chapters. In crafting this rendition, I sought to pay homage to the rich tapestry of Oz adaptations that have graced our screens over the years. Notably, I drew inspiration from the iconic 1939 MGM classic and its enchanting Disney 1985 semi-Sequel, "Return to Oz," as well as the beloved "Wicked" series, SyFy's enthralling "Tin Man" miniseries from 2007, Oz the Great and Powerful (2013), and the captivating Oz episodes of "Once Upon a Time." To breathe life into the pages, I decided to create live-action illustrations for the book. Drawing upon the characters from Disney's "Return to Oz," I found that they closely resembled the original character illustrations by W.W. Denslow and John R. Neill. Employing the power of AI and Photoshop, I meticulously crafted these illustrations, ensuring they captured the essence and wonder of Baum's fantastical world.

In this adaption, I have merged the characters of Mombi from "The Marvelous Land of Oz" with Princess Langwidere from "Ozma of Oz," echoing the creative fusion of that character seen in the Return to Oz (1985). The character of the Nome King from Ozma of Oz has been infused with General Jinjur from the Marvelous Land of Oz, and reimagined as the Nome Queen. Princess Mombi also takes some of Jinjur's traits. Many other changes to characters and events from the books can be seen throughout my adaption as well.
