What is time? Time is what we use to measure something we cannot see, perhaps so that we can control the uncontrollable. You can live for a thousand years, but at the end of it you will always ask for one more day. Because even after a millenia, there are new things to be discovered, you want it to spend with the ones you love, and there is just never enough time. Time has no beginning and no end. Time is infinite, yet it always runs out. And here she is, a fifteen year old girl watching on in a bleak hospital room as her sister slowly fades away, wishing that she only had one more day because her time is running out and she's about to lose it, as well as herself.
This is my first story, and it's original. I'm not really good at writing, but I liked the plot and decided to try.

Stars of Freedom
Book 1 "I'm sorry I couldn't be the person you needed. I'm sorry I didn't fight harder. I'm sorry you won't remember this at all." *** In a fractured world where gods and mortals clash, a desperate band of misfits fights to stop a force of chaos that delights in unmaking reality itself. Haunted by past failures, bound by fragile promises, they gamble everything to protect each other against impossible odds. As the lines between destiny and manipulation blur, the last remnants of hope hinge on a brutal sacrifice - one that rewrites the fabric of existence and leaves only a single soul to remember the truth.

MYTH-TAKEN IDENTITY - a 2025 ONC novella
An introverted, recluse gamer accidentally finds out she's the reincarnation of a Greek god/goddess, and is stuck in a world-altering time-loop until she figures out WHICH god/goddess she's destined to become. ***** Ophelia Jones is...well, she's nothing. She asks for nothing. She WANTS nothing. Just to stay in her dark basement-apartment, do her mindless data-entering job by day, play video games by night. She refuses to participate in a real social life, and won't read the news or be active in the LGTBQIA+ scene that she belongs in. No, Ophelia is done giving a sh**. She'd rather live in her fantasy world, ignoring the real world around her. That is, until a mysterious puddle surfaces in her backyard, and she jokingly wonders if it'll be a portal to another world, someplace better - and she falls into it. Oh, she's transported to a new world, all right -- but not a parallel world or an alternate universe. She's transported to the past; into mythology, specifically. Greek mythology, to be even more exact. Because according to Alfie, her "spiritual guide", she's a reincarnated god or goddess, and has to figure out who. Problem? SHE KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT GREEK MYTHOLOGY. ONC prompts 37 + 5Complete
The Love of Aphrodite - Book 1
Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love and Beauty is forced into an unwanted marriage the very evening she emerges from the sea. While Hephaestus is not terrible to her, she can't help but be enticed by his forbidden brother, Ares, and the other Gods who send her longing glances. Will she settle for Hephaestus or will she search for more for her own love story? *This story follows along some of Aphrodite's romances while married to Hephaestus. This story will not be a perfect timeline but will however, follow along a rough timeline according to my other book, Hades and Persephone.* *Also, Aphrodite has her faults. A fair amount of faults in fact! If you know her mythology she turns out to be a very vengeful, self-centred, and self-involved Goddess, but this story is all about her slowly progressing throughout her marriage to Hephaestus. A sequel will follow beyond once this marriage ends.* *This story is also not meant to be factually accurate, and is simply an interpretation of the story.Complete
