It's the story of a child. Called useless, fragile, weak, pathetic, flawed and a waste of space. The story of a person who has lost them selves and been broken. The story of a people-pleaser. A person who bends, breaks, and changes soley based on the likes and dislikes of others. Someone who has built them selves to serve others, be useful and productive to all. Someone who changes who they are just so that one day someone will find actual worth and sentiment in them. Until that day comes how ever, they are erratic. Afraid of being useless and flawed. Afraid of being anything but pleasant and purposeful. A person who can do anything in essence, only to serve those around them because if they can't do anything and everything then what use are they? This person inside screams and cries, and is confused as to who they are. This person outside is smiles, devotion, adaptable, and pleasantry. A person who doesn't know if they can handle it for much longer. That is the story.

The Rubber Band Theory
After Tadashi and Hiro have a close call, they discover they have abilities they wouldn't have dreamed were possible. When they discover that the fire that almost took Tadashi's life was intentional, they start on a journey that will change their lives forever. ------------------------------------ Some say that the mind is like a rubber band; it stretches and grows with use, never returning to the state it began in, and like a rubber band, it can grow brittle and hard with disuse. People tell stories of individuals with extraordinary abilities, abilities that extend with the use of their minds: Pyrokinesis, Telekinesis, Cyrokinesis, Pathokinesis, Telepathy, and any number of other abilities. But every story has a grain of truth, doesn't it? People have long forgotten that little grain of truth; there were some people who truly possessed abilities of those calibers. But when you leave a rubber band alone for too long, it shrinks and snaps easily. And like the forgotten truth, the rubber band was lost in time. Until now. *DISCLAIMER*: I do not own Big Hero 6 or any of the characters in it. This is a retelling of the movie with a twist. All credit beyond my own spin belong to Marvel and Disney.Complete
Emotions Unmotivated
The human mind is a labyrinth-its darkest corners often shrouded in shadows we'd rather not illuminate. This story dares to venture into that obscurity, exploring the chilling yet captivating reality of a psychopathic mind. But this is not a tale of monsters. It is a tale of humanity-flawed, fragile, and, at times, deeply unsettling. In this book, you will not find the clear dichotomy of good versus evil. Instead, you will discover shades of gray where morality bends and fractures under the weight of ambition, desire, and survival. It is a journey through the eyes of someone who sees the world differently, whose thoughts and actions are shaped by the absence of the constraints most of us take for granted. This is a story about a person-not a diagnosis. It is not meant to explain, excuse, or justify, but rather to provoke thought, challenge assumptions, and confront the uncomfortable truths that dwell within us all.Complete

Sound of a Broken Drum
Syd is living on the edge of his broken psyche when he comes across the person he had been waiting his entire life to meet. As things flourish, the rude awakening of the edict "nothing gold can stay" changes the tune of Syd's life as he finds out a truth that is completely devastating. And in the world of mental illness, this is a particularly harsh reality where Syd has to make a difficult decision on what he has to give up in his life. But even a broken drum has to keep beating. The entire story has been published from Chapter 1 to the Epilogue. It is broken into three parts, each quite distinct from the others as Syd's life is altered dramatically. This thing is a labor of love. After completing the story, I realized how much it meant to me personally. I learned things about myself I did not know until I wrote it. I feel as if from writing "Sound of a Broken Drum", my life has changed. In the way I perceive it and in the way I perceive the world around me. This story is not for everyone. There are a lot of people I know who would never want to read something like this. It's not for the apathetic, the privileged, the ones who coast and indulge in the bullshit. I know a lot of people like that. Maybe I wrote it as a means to get away from them. There are certainly people I feel who would read something like this. The mentally-pained, the loners, introverts, the lonely, those who struggle through the everyday things many people take for granted. Those who know too much. And feel too much. I know what that is like. And I know this is why I wrote it. Because we can share each other's experiences through words, no one has to ever feel like they are alone, regardless of how distant the world is. And regardless of how much trash and clutter from society there is in the way of your field of vision, always know there are those few you will find who will make the struggle well-worth it. Hope you enjoy the story, beautiful soul.Complete

Love Misunderstood
I only ever met one man I'd call truly noble. He was a man who was misunderstood and worthy of the world, yet everyone saw him differently. That was until I saw his true colours. The more I caught his eye the more he noticed me. We would pass each other, I would always stare a little longer at his back, wondering his story. People used to move out of the hallways if they saw him approaching whereas people would come and talk to me. He kept to himself, I was never alone, he had no friends, I was friends with everyone, I never saw him talk to anyone I spoke to many. we were polar opposites. At least that's what I thought until that day in the library, that is where I will start this story. Everyone is different, I hate the word "different", I much prefer the word unique. Unique is the only way to describe him. This is not just a story about love, it is about helping two souls who act differently but are the same on the inside, it shows the messy parts that aren't shown in movies, the tragedy, and the comedy but most of all the sizzling romance between two broken people who became one. Who is this story about? Caden James. But this is not just his story, It is ours.Complete

Foul Play
**WARNING** ~contains explicit content that may not be acceptable to all viewers. discretion advised~ "The question, 'why shouldn't I?' played on a loop in my head.

They say to be kind. To love. To live your life purely. Not to expect anything in return. Why then, did it seem like all anyone wanted was to take from me? Take and take and take until there was nothing left, and even then, try to take more. I had been told, over and over, that if I lived by the principles I had been taught, it would all pay off.
