"Masquerade at the Edge of Dreams" welcomes you to the Dreamscape, one of the most wonderful and dangerous planes in all the Omniverse.
Written in the form of verses ─for poetry is the only way to make sense of dreams ─ this book introduces the denizens of the living-world lurking beyond the waking hours; constructs of the mind given corporeal forms, embodying the best and the worst things hidden the dark recesses of our selves.
Come and meet them; join the party and choose your path. Within this dance-hall you might find allies, or enemies. Perhaps you will gain untold powers or simply vanish in a dark corner, never to be seen again. Or, if you so choose it, you may simply go alone and enjoy the party in solitude... and safety. But remember, at the end of this long night, whether you find Ascension, Corruption or Liberation, the choice is all yours.
This book is part of the Vortex Chronicles literary universe. If you want to know more about it, you can follow the rest of my work uploaded on Wattpad.

Not Just Words...
Not Just Words... is more than a collection of poetry...it's a raw, unfiltered journey through the landscapes of mental health, vulnerability, and resilience. Blending powerful verses with personal reflections, this book dives deep into the experiences of depression, anxiety, and the quiet battles we all fight within. For anyone who has ever felt lost, overwhelmed, or broken, these poems serve as a voice when words fail. They are a friend for the moments when life feels too heavy, and a source of hope for those searching for light in the darkness. Through every verse, I confront the shadows that have haunted me and, in doing so, invite you to reflect on your own struggles. The emotions here are real...sometimes painful, sometimes healing, but always genuine. This book isn't just a window into my soul...it's an invitation to face your own inner battles, to feel seen, and maybe even understood. How do you describe what it feels like to be human, to hurt, to heal? Maybe you don't. Maybe the words within these pages will do that for you. Not Just Words... is for anyone seeking connection, comfort, and the reassurance that they're not alone.Complete

The Ardent and The Bard
Ever wonder where your dreams go when you wake? Imagine if they drifted off, coalescing with the dreams of others to create a constantly shifting realm of imagination and memories. That is the realm that Shade the Scarecrow and Cole the Wanderer set off to explore. What begins as a simple research expedition escalates into a fight for survival and revelation. ---------------------------------- This is a work based on a D&D campaign I ran with my friends for 4 years (though it is not a "campaign journal"). It's part of a series of novellas I wrote for my players to let them know what their characters are up to. Naturally this means that it was written with the intent that the reader was already familiar with the world. I have done my best to adapt the story for new readers and included footnotes for lore that does not outright speak for itself. If you enjoy this, consider going to my main blog (taleofchampions.wordpress.com) where you can read the appendices and see new chapters early. Thank you for your time. ~-~smzippyyComplete

[THE DAY MY DREAM DIED]
When confronted with an impossible choice, how do you justify your decision? Lise is a dweller, a person who can influence her dreams in a world where dreams are a reflection of humanity's perception. She pursues a pack of nightmare beasts, called fiends, which live in the collective dream and feed off the minds of the vulnerable. Her little sister is hounded by these creatures into running away from home and spreads them wherever she goes like a plague. Lise must find a way to resolve a conflict of motivation. Save the innocent and risk losing her sister or leave the people to their fate in order to reach her in time. Whatever her answer, there is darkness ahead. Her eyes may never again be colored by the dawn. - This story takes place in a world where the day-night cycle spans the rough equivalent of a year. Years are divided into 4 quadrants: the first and fourth are the night quarters, the second and third are when the sun is visible in the sky. This is not explained explicitly in the text. Chapters are relatively short and can generally be read in 10-25 minutes. - Read chapters early on my website: https://www.distortedsense.com/
