A TASTE OF FICTION
A world where fiction, fantasy and reality collides. An open-world imagination, where the writer, follows his steps back to his dreams and nightmares upon waking up. He tries to remember those mysterious dreams he had and on a fine morning the following day, with a cup of coffee in his left hand and a pen in his right, starts inking them remembering each and every detail. Even though, hardly possible to exactly trace back the dreams in details by any human, the writer links them to the reality in a logical way to make sense such as in political and current aspects. One fine example is 'The Nuclear War' and one could be 'Covid Zombies'. Read and dive deep into the anthologies with the intersection of dreams and reality -What is real and what is not... Better try figuring it out...! Peace ☮️ Reach Kunal on Instagram @authorkunal246Complete
the depth of short stories and microfiction
I am pleased to present my short stories and micro-fiction collection, a compilation of carefully crafted narratives that aim to captivate readers with their depth and intricacy. Each story is meticulously written, with a focus on character development and thought-provoking themes. The collection covers a wide range of genres, from suspenseful thrillers to heartwrenching dramas, ensuring that there is something for every reader's taste. Despite the considerable effort put into this collection, I must express my disappointment with the lack of recognition it has received thus far. The stories within this collection are deserving of a wider audience, as they offer a unique and engaging reading experience.

Redemption Reserved for Superheros
(edit) I forgot to add that this started out as a confessional journal about becoming clean after a 10 year + addiction to OTC cold meds, but that was not my style of writing, I liked the material so I wanted to expand it into a novel length work featuring the journal elements. To say this work is a roller coaster would put it lightly. Although there are elements of time travel I would consider my sudden transitions reality travel. I use actual experience and dreams as a foundation, then toss in some fourth wall breaking narratives (meta-fiction), with a sprinkling of facts and quotations from songs and factual articles. It tends to be written similarly to an essay sans the boring. I have been influenced strongly by Vonnegut and W. S. Burroughs , and a wide variety of album rock, and that bleeds through. The tags dystopian and dark humor describe the whole piece best but there is a lot of genre jumping. I've done a good deal of research, not just for factual things but for the type of writing I do. Although not technically fan fiction, there is a nod to Final Fantasy games. The cover photo is a shared copyright, Brian Barbour took the photo, I added treatments.Complete
Spectrum Chronicles: Shattered Fates
Reality fractures in Halcyon Ridge. So do the people. They came for a medical study. They stayed because there was no way out. By morning, someone is dead. The roads have vanished. And something in the town is awake. Each of them bears eyes too vivid to be natural, powers they don't yet understand, and memories they would rather keep buried. In Halcyon Ridge, the past doesn't stay quiet. It hunts. Fear spreads faster than truth. Trust collapses. And the realization comes too late: The killer isn't hiding among them. It's part of them. In a town where time lies and reality splinters, survival demands remembering what was never meant to surface. Trust no one. Not even yourself.Complete

Our Conscious Fields; What is living?
Slow paced narrative set in a world awakened to panpsychism and innate abilities following the fall and rise of society. A gentle approach to world building with a bit of humor, romanticism, and just enough hints of drama without going into it. When everyone writes about how it could all go wrong or what happens after it does; who wants to read about what happens if it just goes right for once? Still conflict and drama but, the hard work is already done. Now you just get to see a glimpse of what happens in a reality where it all works out. Work in progress - Inspired by Ready Players?; One Chaotic Answer This will be a slower update than Ready Players? but hopefully be more full in edits and depth. Comments and suggestions considered, otherwise please enjoy as this book and story unfolds. Thank you
