Subterranean Stories

In the Tangle, a name is a luxury. Individualism is a crime. When Chancellor Lucius Vane assassinates the legendary rebel KING, he enacts a ruthless decree to fuel his utopian "Surface." Traditional names are outlawed, turning billions of citizens into literal conduits whose collective will is siphoned to build his paradise. But a perfect machine cannot tolerate even a single unpredictable variable. Arthur had a steady life, until the decree upended everything. Working for the crimelord Asiro Vex, he is handed a mysterious, advanced AI neural core that becomes a lethal asset as he prepares to enter a dangerous new expanse. Drake refuses to be erased. Eclipsed by his siblings and stripped of his dignity by a family that only values utility, he voluntarily steps onto an operating table to undergo volatile cybernetic trials, sacrificing his flesh to force them to recognize his worth. High above, ruling her own district, is Vivian Syrne. A wildcard seductress lusted over by the masses, she aligned with Vane to secure her own board pieces, and she answers to no one. In an empire engineered to siphon your very will, reclaiming who you are is the ultimate act of defiance.

We did not kill the planet, we made it nearly uninhabitable. The few surviving societies of humanity begin to recover from an extinction level threat, but as their numbers grow they realize there isn't enough land to support them. In an attempt to solve this problem the "Expansion Project" is created. The Expansion Project is an attempt to rectify the population density issue by dispersing their people within livable underground spaces. With tons of materials harvested and living space growing every day, thus far, the project has been a solid success. Young excavator and engineer Peter McKenna is going about his business as usual. Leaving the towering streets of Littleton, New Colorado, as he and his co-workers descend fifteen kilometers down the mouth of the mine. Together they carve deeper and deeper into the Earth's crust only to discover what secrets lie within the deep biosphere unseen by human eyes.

The first time I heard music had been completely by accident. I could never quite remember where the noise came from, but I can still recall every note. Over the years, I have convinced myself that there had been a group playing music that day. Someone with a guitar and skillful hands. A man with a cluster of bells. A pair of lips sealing around a whistle. I regretted missing the opportunity to watch them play. I'd never seen a musician before. Still haven't. But I think maybe I imagined the song itself and my parents' rush to get me back to the chute train. After all, who in their right mind would play music out in public in a city like Apocrypha?

Something isn't right about this particular tube journey....

Charlie always wondered what has been hiding behind the doors of his grandad's treehouse. But his grandad would just say, 'THE TREEHOUSE IS A NO GO PLACE' and would not entertain any questions of that sort. Even though last year, Charlie was convinced he had heard footsteps echoing through the night from the broken window of the treehouse, his grandad reassured him, they were just the long branches of the old oak tree knocking against the old cottage. His annoying, teenage cousin Eric, however, had a different theory, making up stories of an abominable old troll living in the treehouse, giggling viciously behind their bedroom window. This summer, Charlie was determined to find the secret of the treehouse. But never in million years, did he expect, his curiosity would eventually lead him to the deepest darkest underground tunnels, caverns sculpted of the most beautiful limestone and peculiar hidden worlds, in search of the key to the Kingdom of Solis, whilst being pursued by Zoutarus - the sinister leader of the Graves of Ozaar. ...and little did he know, his journey would eventually lead him to uncover the truth about his father's disappearance.

Picture this: We live on the outside of a planet with a secret interior world containing countless lost civilizations. Or maybe planets as we know it don't exist... we've got the whole idea inside out! The deeper you go, the further out into space you get! Anything's possible with the Hollow Earth!

A writing exercise from my Creative Writing class' Drama unit.

The West Sea is an Aqua-punk Adventure Story that is set in an alternate universe where most of the land mass of the planet is deep underwater. We follow the story of Arman Bruno, a recent recruit for the Aseatic Defense Division, where he survives a devastating attack aboard the West Sea Citadel known as the Buhawi. Bleeding in his arms is the Fleet Admiral Amihan, the hero of the West Sea War, who reveals to him that someone inside the government was working against the New Republic. With the help of his fellow recruits Marcus and Dara, they go back to the mainland to find the city in chaos; The Crimson Legion was running rampant in the Metro. It is now up to them and their Amanium-powered submersibles to devise a plan to save the city, reveal the traitor, and hopefully change the course of history in one of the most contested waters in the planet: The West Sea.

From the subterranean to the elevated of life and the World.

In a sense, the world has fallen. Ever since the AU-35 incident, things haven't been the same. Radiation from neighboring universes plagued the land. Large chunks of the earths crust and layers were ripped out from our reality and transported to another. The sinkholes that followed led to the destruction of many cities, forcing many to rebuild from scratch. But Lady Luck smiles upon one city in particular. Chicago. Yes, it was effected by its very own sinkhole, but instead of ripping everything apart, the hole foundation just went downwards. Taller buildings were crushed, but smaller ones have a good outline for rebuilding. People live in the other sinkholes too. And eventually, the word split in two halves. Those who live underground with protection from the radioactive winds of the over world. And those who looked upon the barren horizon and saw a fresh start rather than a wasteland. This is the story of how it all began, the aftermath, and that changes the AU-35 brought upon the world.

A reimagining of the Greek pantheon, underground. Zeus is determined to break through to the surface and rule the overworld. But he'll need allies to stand against his father, who probably wants to have Zeus eaten.
