When creativity fades and inspiration dwindles, one young man's journey to reclaim his artistic voice becomes a quest for self-discovery.
Meet Alex, a talented but unfulfilled artist, stuck in a mundane job and longing for the freedom to express himself. With brown hair and grey eyes that once sparkled with imagination, Alex feels like a shadow of his former self.
As he navigates the monotony of his daily routine, Alex begins to sense a stirring within him - a fresh wind of thoughts and ideas that yearn to be set free. Embarking on a journey to awaken his dormant creativity, Alex delves into the depths of his soul, confronting fears, doubts, and the true source of his artistic blockage.
Will Alex find the courage to break free from the shackles of convention and unlock the full potential of his imagination? "Awakening" is a poignant and uplifting tale of self-discovery, creativity, and the transformative power of embracing one's true essence.

Neon Afterlife
"You're this gorgeous, ballet-dancer-poet who knows the bartender at the sexy underground club where you take this girl you just rescued from a slimeball at the bus station." She stunned herself with this revelation as she paced back and forth. "This can't be real. You can't be real. Are you secretly a prince too? Or maybe just a wealthy CEO of a big corporation?" "Did you say gorgeous?" he smirked. His charm was so disarming, but she couldn't let him in. She had too much to lose, too much to do. She couldn't let a boy get in the way of her promise to her mother. She mashed her palms into her eyes then looked at him to confirm he wasn't a mirage. He was still there. "Either you're a bad cliché or too good to be true. Neither one is what I need right now." She backed off further, "I've gotta go." He stepped towards her and she retreated more. "Don't," she said as turmoil swirled in her mind. "Clichés aren't all bad," he pleaded.

Safe Haven
Matilda Brown has never seen the world outside of the walls. Her community is relatively small, at least compared to the outside world, and yet she's still somehow an outcast.

Benjamin Langley is a university student navigating the loss of his best friend, when he discovers his ability to see the future.
