A retelling of old classics, and the creation of new stories to be told. . The year is 3015. In a world ruled by Gods, Aubrey Santiago finds himself being the lone wolf in every situation. Haunted by the weight of torment and knowledge, he knows that the system is corrupt and that his superiors are up to something wicked. When a secret so catastrophic gets out and Aubrey becomes the first to learn it, he realizes that the end is near for not only him, but for his fellow humans- or at least, what remnants of humanity he are left. With no where to go, Aubrey finds himself trusting those once deemed untrustworthy in an attempt to escape Olympus and help save what little of the population remains unscathed by the hands of the Gods, even if it means rioting against the very system that kept him alive all this time. It's a revolution in the making, and an untold Greek tragedy ready to be shared before it's too late. (Majority of the story was written between 2019-2021; not indicative of my current works)

[COMPLETED - ONLY MINORLY EDITED] ******************************************************** Greek myths - true or false? They should be false, and to 16-year-old Sophie Claire, it's never crossed her mind that they aren't. Until one day in History class when her teacher spends a day on Greek mythology and something strange starts happening - her friends and classmates begin to tell myths about certain Greek deities with frightening precision. And for some reason, she's began to feel a certain affinity for Persephone, the Greek maiden who was kidnapped by Hades, the Lord of the Underworld, and forced into a marriage with him. This isn't some coincidence or freak dream, she later finds out from a host of strange individuals who claim they're from Olympus, the grandoise home of the gods themselves. She is actually a modern reincarnation of the goddess Persephone, and she's not the only one. A few of her classmates also happen to represent the gods and goddesses from popular Greek myths, and the fact that all of them are present means that something monumental is about to happen. Something like being the girl to change Persephone's future, to break the cycle of kidnapper and victim - all by passing a trial. It won't be simple, she knows, and she's not quite that eager to take it up, but from the moment she found out that she was Persephone, there was no way to back out. She should've known, however, that dealing with all powerful, immortal deities wasn't going to be easy. They've got a few secrets and personality flaws up their sleeves, and they could be deadly. More than deadly - murderous.
