Embark on his journey as Apollo tries to piece together his surroundings, wondering what has happened to the world, where the people had disappeared to, or where that noise came from...

Post Plague Kidnapping - Published!
It's been five years since the plague struck. Leah knows there are other survivors, but she's avoiding them. She is doing just fine on her own. Surviving after everyone she knew died has made her physically strong and honed her intelligence, but she is emotionally devastated. There is nothing to fear if you don't make yourself emotionally vulnerable. James has spent the last five years helping to build up a colony of survivors. He believes in the small town they have populated and its mission to save humanity from extinction. He and his small team of men find scattered people and bring them in. Over the last two centuries, women have fought for and won more and more rights, gaining equality with men. Society, law, and technology bolsters and enforces these rights, but now they are gone. Women's equality with men is over. There are just too few of them. They aren't lesser but greater, more important, more valuable than men. Men are expendable. Men can stay outside alone if they like, but all women must be brought inside the safety of the Colony and properly taken care of. James has been searching the area Leah lives in. Her time of solitude is up. Leah sparks something in James he's never felt before. He's not letting this one get away, certainly not twice.

Artificial Heart.
A boy with trauma and trouble speaking to people meets the perfect match, a robot, uncapable of replicating humans. Until one day that comforting friendship is ripped away from him, only to be returned in another, (unwanted) way (I don't wanna spoil too much in the description) there's a lot of typos because I don't proof read
Baylo: The Cosmic Dog
CHAPTERS RELEASE EVERY TUESDAY! Baylo was just a loyal golden retriever, living a quiet life on the moon colony-until a surge of cosmic power changed everything. Suddenly, he's more than a pet; he's a force unlike anything the colony has seen. Alongside Ellio, the boy who has always been his closest friend, Baylo begins to uncover secrets buried deep within the colony's walls. Strange occurrences, hidden experiments, and a shadowy threat loom around every corner. For Baylo, courage, loyalty, and instincts will be tested like never before-and the fate of the home he loves may rest in his paws. ___________________________________________________________________ Preview: The pink sunset over the moon colony was silent. Its light beamed through the artificial atmosphere, soft and alien, casting a rose-hued tint across the glass domes and skeletal infrastructure. The colony itself was built around three immense dome structures, each one housing a different facet of survival-agriculture, research, habitation-all dwarfed by a single tower that rose above them like a needle through fabric. It watched over everything, unmoving, unblinking. The buildings-sleek, metallic, utilitarian-sat beneath the tower's shadow. Nothing moved with urgency. No birds. No wind. Only the hollow hum of recycled air and the distant hissing of pressure locks opening and closing. Inside the domes, colonists moved like clockwork. Farmers in soil labs adjusted nutrient tubes to the roots of synthetic crops. Engineers ran diagnostics on life-support units. Researchers stared into data displays, their faces washed in ghost-blue light. All of them were quiet. All of them were tired. No one laughed anymore. No one talked about their home world anymore. But even if no one said it, the grief clung to everything-the way people avoided eye contact, the hollow way they said "Good morning," and the way every hallway echoed too much, like the colony itself had grown too big for the shrunken souls inside.

Welcome readers to my fantasy world. I have brought you something beyond the constraints of my imagination, and I wonder if many are ready for it; however, a good story must be told, and I am fortunate to be the one to tell it. Imagine a world where the vile nature of mankind creeps its ugly head as humanity faces its first and last major catastrophe. The world plunged into everlasting darkness, entrenched in chaos and disorder, where hope is a distant flitting memory. The story I propose to my fellow readers follows Anthony Verdun, who was only a boy when all he knew was taken from him in an instant. Like many others, on that day, those who survived lost a part of themselves, forever scarred by the family, friends, and loved ones they lost. Their lives changed forever; how could it not? I welcome you to join the world I have created, indulge in this hypothetical, and dive into this what-if. What that is, well, you would have to read to find out.
