Everyone has that one wish for when they grow up and graduate. Everyone has that one dream that want to fulfill. Even the young witch, Minjae, has her own dream. But what happens when something so general stands in your way? What happens when you get thrown into a life you never wished to live? Suddenly, your world seems to be crumbling at the edges and your dreams turn to nightmares. The people you thought to trust with your life can no longer be trusted, and those you hold most dear get stripped away. What will you do when you're thrown into a conflict you never wished to participate in? Who will decide which road you take this time? Aren't you supposed to deside your own destiny?

All Your Fates (Currently editing/updating)
They say in life there are no second chances. But what if you had blown it with the girl of your dreams? What would you do knowing that she was out there, in other realities, realities you hadn't screwed up? That kind of thing could really mess you up... and it could make you do "some crazy." Down-on-his-luck David Blunt is as loser as a loser you can get; recently kicked out of school and fired from his dead end job, David's been squatting in his flop-house apartment, avoiding his landlord and subsisting on stale fortune cookies and cheap street meat for weeks. But when David reads a fortune that predicts an epic future for him, he starts to think that his luck is about to change. Emma Gossett is a spirited world traveler full of wanderlust, and never stays put in one place long enough to form any attachments. Her lovable and eccentric Gran insists this is because she was hidden from the Norns as a babe to keep them from naming Emma's fate, a fable Emma puts little faith in. But when Emma meets David, her faith in reality is shaken to the core. Does this rambling cynical romantic hold the answer to the prevailing sense of déjà vu she's been feeling lately? Or is it just something else, as her new and mysterious and magnetic acquaintance Gabriel insists? Perhaps he holds the key to the mysterious sensations she has felt of living another life alongside her own. All Your Fates is a multiverse mindwarp with supernatural elements that one reader commented: "This story is twisting into ways a pretzel couldn't even try!!"Complete
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

Shadow of the Returned
When the endless Nightmare finally collapsed, Ashen believed he had won. He had slain the last of the dream gods, torn himself free of a realm that fed on fear, and wished only for one thing: to go home. But the world he returns to is nothing like the one he left behind. Centuries have passed, the cities have fallen into ruin, and the land itself is being consumed by a spreading mist that carries living shadows. Humanity survives behind broken walls, haunted by the creatures that once belonged only to dreams. They speak in whispers about the Returned, warriors who came back from the Nightmare changed, powerful, and cursed. Ashen is one of them. To the people he is a weapon, to the Dominion he is a threat, and to the growing darkness that infects the waking world he is something even worse - a seed. With Mira, a healer who still believes in light even when surrounded by ruin, Ashen begins to face what he has become: a man caught between saving what remains of humanity and destroying it. As the line between dream and reality fades, he must decide whether he will fight the darkness within him or finally surrender to it.
