Larval Haze is a continuation of the short story Strange Harvest.
This series of short stories immerses readers in a world shrouded in mystery and danger-the planet Surface, a mirror-earth in a distant start system called Lux. Our protagonist finds himself in captivity, trapped not only by his physical surroundings but also by a haunting sense of responsibility. With every passing moment, questions compound: What secrets are hidden from him by his captors? What will happen to the wasp queen's rare and delicate eggs?
Delve into the minds of harvesters and dusters alike, each entangled in their own struggles, unfolding a tale filled with suspense, emotion, and mysterious connections to an alien planet. "Larval Haze" is more than a story of survival; it is a challenge to question what it means to be human and the sacrifices one might make in the name of something beyond human understanding.

⋆The Survivors [UNDER CONSTRUCTION]⋆
In the last few centuries, humans have pushed themselves almost to the brink of extinction with wars, famine, and disease. But we have managed to survive and persevere despite everything that has happened. The year 2147 was a year of hope for us, with the arrival of the Golik, an alien race, who were kind and wanted nothing more than to help us. Alongside the Golik, we had five years of peace and prosperity with them, both races gaining knowledge from the other and building to create a wonderful relationship with the other. After five years of peace and prosperity, then the peace ran out and the invasion began.

Phantoms And Flesh
What lurks beneath our skin? What whispers from beyond the stars? In this collection of sixteen nerve-shattering tales, reality peels away like dead flesh to reveal the horrors that have always lived alongside us. From body-warping metamorphoses to cosmic entities that defy comprehension, from vengeful spirits to the terrifying truth of human consciousness itself, these stories probe the darkest corners of existence. Each tale peels back another layer of sanity, asking questions better left unanswered: What if our bodies aren't really our own? What if humanity's greatest achievements are just bait in a cosmic trap? What if death isn't the end, but merely a beginning too horrible to imagine? Phantoms and Flesh will crawl under your skin and nest in your nightmares. Some books are meant to be read. This one is meant to be survived.Complete
