"Nothing that is baseless can be allowed to exist."
"But since when did the clear report of one's senses become invalid? This child is right here, can't you see him? There he goes running again, barely avoiding a nasty fall as he takes an unwise step. He gasps as he realises what happened. Can't you hear him gasp?
No, you cannot. You cannot hear him because the authorities do not recognise his existence."
"I often wonder, did they foresee or plan us anyhow? This equivalence of proof and being, this omniscient bureaucracy we have today?"
"There is no way to tell the entrance of this room from the exit."

Tesseract Diaries
This is my first attempt in writing a story, so don't judge too harshly pls. ☻︎ In a sterile, lifeless world ruled by the Administration-mechanical entities driven by cold logic-a single anomaly disrupts their perfect system. A human mind, fragmented and glitch-like, persists in defiance of their relentless scrutiny. Trapped within a simulated reality, where nothing is truly real, the protagonist wrestles with memories that might be fabricated, emotions that evade categorization, and the existential weight of being a question in a world that demands answers.
An Infestation.
With a bang, the door flew open and a woman dress who was dress in black from head-to-toe. She wore a smug on her red lipstick lips and threw her hands into the air in a dramatic manner. "I'm back!" She chimed and took a step foward into the room, "Well, what'd I miss?" In the room, the tension grew as all of the emotions said her name. "Depression!" And in response, she smirked at all of them. "The one and only, kiddies." *** Thomas Sanders lives a happy life, with his Personality Traits as his guides. Logic looks at things with a mind; Morality looks at things with the heart; Princey looks at things with creativity; and Anxiety looks at things with fear and doubt. But long ago, all of the Traits hid a dark infestation in a dark, locked, forgotten room in the back of the Thomas' mind. But when Anxiety went and messed with the room, he let Her out. Now it's up to the Traits to defeat the infestation and destroy Her before she effects Thomas' outside life. But how can you defeat a virus when She's controlling the one you love?Completa
Code: 213
TEASER: I sit comfortably in my makeshift shelter, planning my next voyage to the surface. Faint footsteps above ground snap me out of my thought. I silently reached to my loaded gun, an SKO Shorty, and carefully pulled back the hammer. I silently crept up the unstable metal stairs, aiming my gun at the door at the top. The heavy metal door creaked. Something was behind it. The door pushes open to reveal a man. A human. He slowly reaches into his pocket and pulls out a crinkled yellow paper. I grab the note, while lowering my gun. I look up only to find the man gone. I unfold the paper. It's hard to make out the words in red ink with the dim lighting of the sewer tunnel. Eventually, I'm able to decipher, "34.0522' N, 118.2437' W". Coordinates. At the bottom of the note, scribbled out in black in, there's one phrase. "Code: 213" *Please note this story includes graphic depictions of blood and violence.

Beneath the Shadowlanders
We knew something wasn't right from the moment we awoke. It was like something was missing - a part of our very souls - and we couldn't sense the deficiency, no matter how hard we tried. A hundred million eyes adjusted to the dark all at once, all surprised to be awakened so soon. We ran through our checklists of limbs and senses, drawing ourselves out of our dreams piece by piece. Some went back to sleep, unaware, unbothered, too tired to notice the difference. Some lay in bed, too anxious to stand until the light of dawn crept through their windows at last, and they were sure the monsters in their closets had gone back to sleep. Some leapt from their slumbers, more keenly aware than others that the missing pieces were important. But we didn't know. We couldn't have. Not until we found ourselves standing in the light and discovered: We no longer had shadows.Completa
Shadows of the Forsaken
Ever since she could remember, the experiments had been part of her life. As a child, they were harmless-just puzzles and strange potions given to her by the woman she called Mother. Back then, she believed it was all a game, a way to make her smarter, stronger. But as she grew, the tests changed. They became invasive. Painful. Each experiment carved new scars into her skin and left her mind tangled in unanswered questions. The woman she once trusted had become a stranger, her warmth replaced by cold calculation. And then the voices started. A shadow lurked within her, whispering, clawing at the edges of her sanity. She wasn't alone in her own body-something else had been forced inside her. Something ancient. Something hungry. Now, she's free... but for how long? With the past chasing her and the monster inside threatening to take control, she's left with one question: Was she ever meant to survive, or was she only meant to become something else?
Originate - Season 1
They call them Exelistis, a Greek word for The Evolver. One day the ground shook, and before anyone knew what was going on, they appeared. Bursting out of the ground, they wasted no time starting to scan people, and ultimately decided their fate. You were either judged unworthy and disposed of, or you were 'Accepted' and turned into a weapon. I saw as my best friend was murdered right before my eyes. Shaken up and unable to move, I knew it was my turn next. The machine picked me up, and with it's one eye, it looked at me and scanned me. Afterwords, it spoke "Chimera." What does that mean? The next thing I knew, I woke up, and my life was never the same again. A war had broken out between our own kind, separated by titles those mechanical things gave us: "Rejected or Accepted." All I know is I have to survive.Completa

But they have no idea what they are doing. Their lives are no longer their own, their freedom and rights non-existent in a world where they are believed to be the cause of a fatal virus. For that, they must pay by being drugged, abused, ill-treated and experimented on in order to combat the disease they started and cure the Ivories they unleashed it on. Naomi is an Ebony. But she is also an Ivory. Her curiosity and intelligence have led her to the truth. And she knows she must escape. But how can she escape when she is already dead?Completa
