We spent a lot of time trying to play God with our sciences.
We thought we had to. You see, God had abandoned us.
Our world was doomed.
Someone had to do something, but you can't play God without making mistakes.
I created this, but I can't control it.
I told them I couldn't be trusted.

Daybreak Apocrypha - Arcus Primarius
Long ago, our planet was visited by beings from another world, and they built cities here and created human beings here based on their own DNA but modified to suit the Earth's environment. We humans referred to them as their gods, who taught them the knowledge of their world, on which our world was modeled after. But alas, they were flawed beings, just like us humans. They had complicated romantic relationships with each other and with humans, and also led human populations to fight war with each other using weapons of mass destruction over their petty disagreements. Human beings are still part of that legacy. A group of enlightened people who have reincarnated many times from those days to learn that this is not the way forward. Pooling their resources together, they have decided to try and put an end to this vicious cycle once and for all. But how much do they know? How much control do they have over their destiny? Will they succeed? Or will they fall prey to the machinations of their enemy, whose identity they don't even know.Complete

Heatwave
This I wrote for my little brother who is a techno-freak but also is obsessed with dragons, so here is a futuristic world where dragons still exist. To stay true to the fantasy, however, the beasts are capable of human speech with their mouths unlike those in my favorite fantasy-dragon world from the Inheritance Series. Please enjoy and comment as much as you can, the only reason this is here is because my little brother next wants me to make him a sequel to this and I'm at a loss for ideas. Feel free to point out any little mistakes as my writing speed tends to make things a bit messy and it was too much to proof read all in one sitting. So please, as I said, enjoy exploring my growing fantasy world from the point of view of the little monster it was written for, and comment. I'm ready for any ideas, additions, and general pointers in the right direction!Complete
Frozen Cherries
"I've tried to ignore it, but I can't anymore," "Holly, we shouldn't ," Knowing something was so different than believing it was wrong. You could know it was wrong and not believe it. Forcing yourself to think it wasn't wrong because you believe nothing bad could happen.
A Step Too Far
It isn't the bad things you intended to do that come back to haunt you. It's the ones you never meant to happen, that you can't bear to take responsibility for, that fester and grow over the decades. When you know you have nothing to lose, mistakes are inevitable. I've completed this story, but couldn't get any views on here, so I've tried Amazon's KDP Select instead. Read the first few chapters free here and look it up on Amazon under my name for the rest, it will be free if you are a Kindle Unlimited user.Complete
