'The true alchemists do not change lead into gold; they change the world into words.'
                                          - William H. Gass



The words that you dread, that you fear,
and those that you long to hear.
Yet, you never fear to communicate them: those words.

The burden of words, is born by the entire mankind. They've started wars, made love, redeemed evil and plunged the world into chaos. 

These are stories crudely imagined, and roughly put to reality; using those omniscient 'words'. After all, the debt of fantasy has a vile creditor called, letters, and an elusive guarantor named, fiction.

Where pirates and space junks, come alive splashed in vivid hues of greed, romance and vengeance-no, humor hasn't been forgotten-welcome, to another
 adventure.













P.S: Woah, how cringe is that?! I flinched. Well, you can ignore the essay above. There are just a few stories here, to read in your spare time : )

NEW VERSION IS PUBLISHED "He squints his eyes at me with an intense glare that makes me squirm. I don't know if it's the intense pain in my shoulder or his stare, but something sends a shiver down my spine. I have now extended to my full height and look up to realize this guy is towering over me, not looking too happy. I become aware of our close proximity and take a step back, averting my eyes from his intense gaze. I clear my throat and fumble with the edge of my apron, looking down as I say, 'Sorry 'bout that.' I hear no response. I wait a moment, then I look up and he's gone." Spencer Hastings knows one thing for sure: he hates Jack Summers. Everything about him. He hates his rude manners, his intense stare, his restless movements. But he just can't lay a finger on why Jack Summers unnerves him so much. Until now.

Oh How Times Have Changed

38 parts Complete

Eighteen. It's that time in your life that's nothing if not subjunctive: the mood you use when something might or might not have happened. It's a time that's full of change. Leaving school. Going to University. Leaving home. Saying goodbye to past people. Welcoming new people. Everything becomes different all at once. Parts are hard. Parts are easy. All of it: unavoidable. *** Approaching the end of his final year of education, Andy Williams feels lost. Life feels directionless and he craves something that he's not sure even exists. Going through the motions of life with no passion left to give feels numbing until he meets a friend that shows him there's light at the end of the tunnel.
