The Illusion Trap
Reality is perhaps no more than a dream. But what happens if one day we ask ourselves if we are dreaming our own reality? Is the world we live in objective or a reflection of our inner world? The Illusion Trap invites us on a journey where the spiritual, philosophical and scientific search for answers are intertwined in a twisting, multi-pronged story. Throughout the plot, the veil is gradually lifted on the truths of a past lost in a mystical haze, and the question is outlined through a duel of opposites that build a dualistic world: where is the line between reality and virtuality, rationality and mysticism, oppression and freedom? If reality is not independent of us, can we ourselves shape our own world every day with our thoughts and feelings into what we want it to be? Is there free will and to what extent can we live it? This book does not offer definitive answers, but encourages you to ask, reflect, meditate and find your own truth. A story that can lead you to yourself - if you are ready to look in the mirror.
The House That Whispers
It wasn't supposed to be a rescue. It wasn't even supposed to be real. A drunken dare. A reckless chase. A twisted game. Harry and his friends entered the house with one thought-to take what wasn't theirs. But the moment they crossed the threshold, the game turned against them. The doors locked. The walls shifted. Their desires became chains, their laughter swallowed by silence. At first, they thought it was a man-a monster lurking in the dark, toying with them. But the deeper they went, the more the truth clawed at their sanity. The house was alive. And it wanted them to suffer. Time unraveled. Lust turned to regret. Hunger turned to madness. Their mistakes tightened like a noose, and soon, Harry found himself losing more than just his way. He was losing them. And the house was still watching. Because no one leaves until it is done with them. The House That WhispersComplete

Genetically
Something is missing. The last pieces of a jigsaw puzzle that would finally make the picture whole. He feels it inside him-lingering in the spaces where his lost memories should be, whispering in a voice he almost recognizes. The more he uncovers the truth, the more it moves through him-slipping beneath his skin like a shadow, a presence stitched to his bones. What happens if he reveals the truth? Will it unlock his freedom-or awaken something beyond his control?
Amongst the Stars
My lungs and muscles burned. Everything in my body begging me to stop but I had to keep moving. I had to get away. I rather die than go back to that lab but this building was a maze! Never ending hallways and big metal sliding doors that you see in space movies. All I could hear was the patter of my bare feet, heavy breathing, and my heart beating in my ears. "Hey!!! Stop her! Whatever you do, do NOT let her get away!!" A man yelled after me but I couldn't look back. Even as I heard the whoosh of metal doors opening and the thudding of boots chasing after me.Complete
