They say, every possibility creates its own reality. Then every story that comes out of the imaginarium of a creative mind may be creating new realities, with or without the knowledge of their creators.
Over 20 years ago I started writing the first book of a series that would eventually become the Universe of One. 'Sunwalker' is the first short story of a potential anthology in the Universe of One. Hopefully, it will act as a gateway into this universe. The first full-length novel of the series One, called Epilogue of Hermesh is gradually being uploaded here on Wattpad as we speak.

THE SUNWALKER
Using alien technology to build a spaceship, two humans seek out the unknown, across the event horizon of a black hole cluster. What lay waiting there for them is beyond anything that they could ever have imagined in their wildest dreams, or nightmares. Discovery is, after all, also an act of faith.

ONE: Epilogue of Hermesh

They keep coming.* (No they are not zombies. They were never truly alive.) ********************** Epilogue of Hermesh ********************** In a galaxy called Hermesh, Commodore Reemon Erra, an Amarthian by birth, is a decorated war hero. He is the best Hermesh has!

Time flies by when you're sleeping
A massive alien ship and a human in a small pod, in cryogenic sleep, thousands of light-years away from earth. What could go wrong and how will he get back to earth? -------------------------------------- Notes: I felt tired one day and thought that I could use a long nap. This story is a result of that thought. I didn't use any movies or series for inspiration, the story is my original work. This is just the result of my weird imagination and brain thinking about what that character would do and telling me what to write. I hope you like it :) It's just a story, like all of my other stores. It doesn't have a deeper spiritual, moral or ethical meaning.Complete

Star Rider
Ami: "We may be in different worlds, but we share the same moon and stars." This is a sci-fi love story, dedicated to those people who had to depart... Can you still see the stars in the city's sky? Have you ever imagined that your imagination could transcend what meets the eye? Slowly soaring towards the outer reaches of the solar system, you will encounter Mars first, followed by the asteroid belt teeming with activity, and then the radiant Jupiter and the ringed Saturn. Continuing further, there's Uranus, and beyond Uranus lies the deep blue Neptune, followed by the Kuiper Belt. Farther still is the Oort Cloud, a journey that takes at least 20,000 years... This is a pilot's logbook from the era of interstellar exploration. During that time, fusion technology has become practical, and humanity has embarked on voyages into the frigid expanses of the outer solar system, exploring the Kuiper Belt. Earth remains a stage for political and economic struggles, while the explorers are busy bees of that era, pioneers venturing into various planetary belts, far removed from human civilization. This story encompasses love, longing, psychological descriptions, speculation, as well as themes of loneliness, social anxiety, and PTSD. If you're a tech enthusiast, you'll find foundational elements of interstellar travel here: astronomical units, speed and time, the asteroid belt, Kirkwood gaps, Trojan groups, the Kuiper Belt, Lagrange points, orbital resonance, gravity assist, centrifugal force, the structure and construction materials of interstellar space stations, fusion engines, magnetic confinement, propellant propulsion, and other technological concepts.Complete
Voyage of the Star Killer
Space Opera This is the voyage of the StarKiller, a ship of over 5000 lives. Exploration, battles, love, military.... Feedback welcome! Should I break each chapter into episodes and expand on them (essentially, each chapter would become its own book)? With everything going on in 2020, I wanted to portray my own feelings and hurt over the racism, the segregation, the spiritual, emotional, and mental attacks, as well as the physical harm we are causing our fellow man (humanity/mankind/personhood). I began writing this book in 2017. I dreamt it in 2018. I fleshed it out in 2019. And here we are, more than halfway through 2020, and I'm finally putting it out there. TRIGGER WARNING: Briefly discusses instances of abuse, sexual assault, rape, bullying, stalking, etc. Read with forewarning.Complete
