Surviving the Shadows
Amelia's life is an existence sculpted by relentless trauma and profound emotional isolation. From her earliest memories, her home is not a place of safety but a "pressure chamber" of fear, dominated by her volatile and cruel father. His presence is a constant threat, symbolized by the leather belt hanging over a doorway-a promise of pain for any perceived imperfection. Her survival depends on making herself invisible, a silent, flinching ghost in her own house. This oppressive environment is compounded by the chilling absence of her mother, a woman who has retreated into the "emotional desert" of alcoholism. She is a "sentient ghost," physically present but offering no protection, comfort, or love. Her indifference is a deep, unfixable wound, teaching Amelia the cruel lesson that she is utterly alone. Her only source of light is her grandmother, who sees her, loves her, and instils in her the belief that she is brave and destined for a true love that will make her whole. The slow, agonizing death of her grandmother to cancer is the single most devastating event of her young life, extinguishing her only beacon of hope and leaving her in total darkness. School offers no escape; it is merely another battlefield. The constant anxiety from her home life makes learning impossible, and her quiet, haunted demeanour makes her an easy target for cruel bullies. Her struggles are amplified by undiagnosed ADHD and autism traits, culminating in a diagnosis of hypothyroidism after she faints at work. Her father masterfully twists this medical reality into another personal failing, accusing her of being "dramatic" and "attention-seeking.""" By her teenage years, Amelia is a prisoner of a silent war, physically and psychologically exhausted, and convinced of the narrative her father has forced upon her: that she is a fundamentally flawed, worthless human being.

The Hidden Game
When Amelia Swanson was four, her parents were murdered. The killer was never caught. Twelve years later, something opens a door to her past. It doesn't offer Amelia any answers - only more questions. Dangerous questions. ...The kind people have died for. Now Amelia and her best friend Marv are being hunted. By a system built to suppress the past. By people who have killed to keep secrets buried. And by something dark that stalks her dreams-something that knows her name. As the net tightens around them, Amelia realises they aren't the only ones searching. Everyone is circling the same hidden conspiracy. Politicians. Journalists. Scientists. Secret societies. Resistance cells. Assassins. Amelia begins to understand the truth she was never meant to find: her parents weren't random victims. They were players in a hidden game. And she just stepped onto the board. ------ What to expect from The Hidden game: - A conspiracy thriller with underlying psychological horror elements. - A slow-burn investigation that constantly escalates into real danger and a large conspiracy. - A surveillance-state dystopia and critique of both systemic and algorithmic power. - Layered mysteries where every answer creates new questions. - The story has a strong focus on found family and fiercely loyal friendships. Content warning: parental death (past/flashback), trauma and PTSD, nightmares, occasional violence and death (no gore), and pervasive surveillance themes. ------ Release schedule: I'm aiming to release a new chapters every 10-14 days with short breaks (2-4 weeks) between seasons. Current status: Book 1, Season 1 complete (20 Transmissions, ~60k words). Season 2 is underway and the hunt is active. Planned scope: a trilogy of books split across 9 seasons (approximately 750k words).
Indecorous
(18+ EXPLICIT CONTENT) "Attract a lot of attention, huh beautiful?" His voice hit me like a wall, absurdly catching me off guard. It was deep, sensual, something any girl (or boy) could melt over. I was sort of speechless, yet trying my best to appear unafflicted. "Only the wrong ones." That was definitely drunken me talking, as I didn't usually have that much confidence. His lips twitched up into a smirk, expressing that he understood my comment. "Does that mean that I'm in that category?" My palms began to grow sweaty and my heart rate picked up, but otherwise my body remained relaxed, appearing completely fine. It similar to when you're on autopilot, completely withdrawn due to intoxication. "I suppose not," I crossed my arms, putting on this seductive persona just for him. This fueled his smirk, about to murmur another comment before I cut him off. "You'll have to show me, though." *** Amelia Hollis was a 23-year-old writer at one of the local publishing companies, assisting a very handsome man and writing articles left and right. Her and her best friend, Aviary, lived together in a cute little apartment off the central part of the city, yearning to create new memories and important moments. Amelia always lived for the moments, taking in every little detail and savoring it like it was her favorite meal. She was an optimist, hoping to change peoples lives with her dreams. James Vallette was a 34-year-old CEO, building his company from dirt with the help of his brother. He was a realist, not really having time to deal with dreams or even love. He knew this the night he laid eyes on Amelia. It was only casual; what harm could a one-night stand do? Oh yeah, he's her dad's boss.Complete
