A story I began writing in response to a SAC prompt. I realised the idea I had was worth pursuing so I continued to add to it. It's nowhere near completion, but I will add more over time. The book is set out in short chapters, only a few paragraphs long, as I aim for the story to become much like a compressed novel.
Stop-Time follows the story of a man named William Roland, a scientist who is employed by the U.S. Government to develop a "stop-time' device. The purpose of the machine is for use in counter-terrorism efforts, with the purpose of stopping time in a designated area in order to allow for reassessment of the situation by relevant tactical forces. However, the device malfunctions and becomes something much more. It is after this malfunction that William and his assistant Neil attempt to save humanity from a foreseeable doom, but the implications in doing so are much more dire.

The Rat King
My name is Nolan Moore and something special happened to me. Or at least that is what the psychiatrist calls it. I think it was disturbing, too horrific for words. What happened to me was something that keeps me up at night. Sometimes I lay in bed and stare at the ceiling for hours, even days. I get shivers down my spine even writing this down, but I have a feeling that I will be gone soon. So, if you read this, then you get a glimpse of my soul. I pray that before the end of my story I will get forgiveness for everything I have done. Just remember I did this because I thought it was the best thing at the time. Clearly, it wasn't. Time is a thin line floating between what was and what will be. It's flowing through space hoping to reach an end. Normally whenever someone makes a choice, time itself splits and although we don't feel a thing, it still happens, nonetheless. But now something happened that had never happened before. Two new lines that were created flowed alongside each other through the endless void, seeking their old one. They were never supposed to collide, but one strange afternoon everything went wrong. The three timelines hit each other dead on. Three people ended up on an island, three exactly the same people.Complete

(DRAFT) Artificial Terror
*This novel is in its third draft and will be reworked sometime in 2025. One of the planned changes is a new chapter or two near the middle to help bring up the word count and strengthen some of the themes in the novel. Despite it, I'm posting it to see how it does with readers, and any feedback would be grateful. For his spring break trip, Timothy (Tim for short) Kerzenmacher joins his uncle, Dr. Henry Pierman, to the science facility he works at. Today's special due to one of the science teams powering on the piece de resistance of the future: a sentient A.I. named Charlotte. Of course, nothing goes right and she's bent on eradicating human error from her test results. Tim must survive the now hostile Athena Laboratories and escape with help on the way. Will he make it the surface? Will his perception on what makes us human change?Complete
The Flight To Death
A plane which went missing twenty six years back has suddenly come back from nowhere. Read on to find out where it was, and what happened to the passengers in the plane. The plot focuses on a family of four who were in the plane, and the chilling experiences they have after the plane went missing, their struggles for survival in a place they don't know and lots more. Readers are the motivation for writers to give bigger and better content. I humbly request everyone who read this story to kindly share your views on the story, so that I can make the upcoming parts better. I'm sure many of you would love this, because I've put a lot of hard work into thinking various sequences in this story. Also, I'm new to writing, so suggestions about grammar are most welcome. Thank you :)Complete
The Hawaiian Special Forces
This is the story I'm writing for NaNoWriMo 2015. The goal: 50,000 word RAW draft written entirely in the month of November. Unlike most of my stories, which I prefer to edit before posting, I'm actually going to post updates to this at the end of each day in chapter-sized chunks. The idea behind this story is that a terrorist attack in the near future causes the US to go hyper-isolationist, to the point that it abandons Hawaii and Alaska to fend for themselves. They do, forming the United Pacific States (maybe with a few other island countries). Hawaii then goes on to turn itself into the new world police with stealthy, genetically modified cyber-soldiers. I'm marking this story as mature because there will be action scenes, and probably some interesting perspectives on nudity and relationships. I'm not planning on anything explicit, but this won't be a kids book. Validated winner at 50,040 words!Complete

Silentium Universi
John awakened to a cold, concrete room, with no memory of how he got there, nor much of what occurred before. Approached with floating screens, and a new body, the world formed itself around him, leaving only a path forward. After fighting through an unforgivable scenario, he awakens years later in the 2nd layer, a dense, non-euclidian collection of offices, hotels, and common rooms, surrounded by an unending void. Eager to find others, he discovers that he's not alone... all of humanity has experienced the same thing, and many have lived in this hell for years, looking for answers. John must navigate this strange new world, dodging terrifying monsters, gaining power, and learning the boundaries of this insane reality. Note: This story does NOT use ai in any way, but the cover is a temporary AI cover, made by Gemini AI Image Generation, which serves as a placeholder and inspiration for when I eventually spend the time to make one myself. Once again, there is NO ai use in editing, brainstorming, proof-reading, or writing. The entire creative process is mine and mine alone. The cover art is not subject to copyright. This story can be found on Royal Road (the main publishing site I use, Wattpad, and Webnovel)

Now if you actually thought this story was over, I'm sorry to inform you, it's not. This is book Two, of Wake Up. And Wake Up holds a special place in my heart so I couldn't just leave it on such a unsatisfying ending. ------------ Damon Le'Odair died almost four and a half years. He died from a gunshot wound to the back of his head, from his father, Roman Odair, who was killed by Aaron Hotcher. Damon died in the same house he grew up in and watched his mother die in, then himself. The BAU team had a funeral for him and mourned his death. Getting back to work was weird without Damon there, sitting at the end of the table or next to the girls or Spencer. But when Hotch presented a case to the team, a case that shouldn't even be a case, the team didn't want to do it. Aaron Hotchner wanted to take down, the head of the CIA, Ryan Milkovich. Put him in prison. And when Hotch starts getting information that only someone from the inside would know, the team starts getting suspicious of why they're really working on this very dangerous, career ending case. And if it's worth it?
