The Novel by jkultra23

Plot: The plot focuses on an unnamed depressed apathetic writer experiencing writer's block. After the success of his critically acclaimed debut novel, The Novel, he runs out of ideas to write for another masterpiece. He goes on a journey, even having to do things he wouldn't normally do just for the sake of getting ideas, just to reclaim his lost creativity, and he also reflects his experiences in life and love. The novel is part satire, part philosophical, due to its existentialist blend inspired from the works of Camus, Sartre, Dostoyevsky, and Kafka with a mix of my trademarks—surreal and dark humor, violence, parody, satirical commentary, horror and shock value, depression, and nihilism. Genre: Transgressive Fiction, Absurdist Fiction R-Rated. For mature readers only. (as usual)

Can You Hear Them Calling by Djmags77

Enter the shoes of a man who experienced the fullness of life and death to an extent which none even him could never comprehend, but all knew even him who thought that he understood---was a call from whom? He doesn't know, from what? He doesn't know. What truly is certain of him is that everything that he knew was a mere empty space in a larger picture of life, death, and in what he presumes is called "reality" for he slowly realized that reality is only a reflection of his own human nature. Experience reality in its entirety. Discover what your own reality means and why it calls you for.

An Infestation. by Fangirl_extravegansa

With a bang, the door flew open and a woman dress who was dress in black from head-to-toe. She wore a smug on her red lipstick lips and threw her hands into the air in a dramatic manner. "I'm back!" She chimed and took a step foward into the room, "Well, what'd I miss?" In the room, the tension grew as all of the emotions said her name. "Depression!" And in response, she smirked at all of them.

The Cliff in Mount Vernon by nnapenas

Straight out of the university, the unnamed narrator moves toward north to start his life in the township of Palette--the quiet suburban neighbor to the flashing Neubark City. Here he finds himself an apartment to settle in and befriends a forty-seven year old man who owns a record store. Falling head over heels with the enormity of his new world, little does he know that it will change him forever. Four years forward, he suddenly realizes his derailment from the tracks he once anticipated to take. His comings and goings in the north has changed since then; the monochromatic, monotonous flow of his daily risings and settings consumes him brick by brick. He stays out of the circle, distant to the vivacious life of the natives. And then he meets someone he thinks would turn the things around. Caught up in a torrent of human affairs, emotions and frustrations, he seeks his saving grace through a mountain hike, where he finally confronts the crisis of his age: the odd, the strange and the absurd.

Originate - Season 1 by Samunachan

They call them Exelistis, a Greek word for The Evolver. One day the ground shook, and before anyone knew what was going on, they appeared. Bursting out of the ground, they wasted no time starting to scan people, and ultimately decided their fate. You were either judged unworthy and disposed of, or you were 'Accepted' and turned into a weapon. I saw as my best friend was murdered right before my eyes. Shaken up and unable to move, I knew it was my turn next. The machine picked me up, and with it's one eye, it looked at me and scanned me. Afterwords, it spoke "Chimera." What does that mean? The next thing I knew, I woke up, and my life was never the same again. A war had broken out between our own kind, separated by titles those mechanical things gave us: "Rejected or Accepted." All I know is I have to survive.
