Simon Vincent, a man troubled by the monotony of his fastidious life, forever engulfed by the toxicity of neon is forced to take calls every night to due the bidding of these antediluvian fellows that plagued the soil of the ever blooming city of Pascom. 

Number crunched, services extended, and with open arms with a clutch do these individuals feel safe behind the coils of their mask. But to what particular purpose do the numbers mean nor how they take refuge upon his own apartment every night? 

All circumlocution best cut short when the phone rings. A beep on the line at the end of each calls made. Masks are worn, frenzies are spouted through the streams, and words are spoken. What are the calls for? Is it all in his own perception, the so called "destroyers" of his own body or is he playing the long cat and mouse game to the bidding of those people in the dark? or in addition, is there something virulent to the needles that could inoculate such moxie?

28-year-old Danica Monroe lives unapologetically. Her days blur into nights of neon lights, reckless freedom, and fleeting pleasures. She's not chasing love - she's chasing experience. With a sharp tongue and a guarded heart, Danica has mastered the art of keeping things casual. Relationships? Too messy. Too binding. She's built walls not out of bitterness, but out of survival. Then one night, everything shifts. She meets him. Ben Carter. Not her usual type - too composed, too intense, too... magnetic. Their chemistry is undeniable, but Danica brushes it off. Just another night. Just another man. Until it isn't.That one night lingers. Not in her body - in her mind. She hates that. She hates him for it. Because Danica doesn't do emotional hangovers. And yet, she can't stop replaying the way he looked at her like she was more than just a moment. Meanwhile, Ben Carter is the kind of man who built his empire brick by brick, sacrifice by sacrifice. At 35, he's the CEO of a tech conglomerate, a man who commands boardrooms and buries feelings beneath spreadsheets and strategy. Relationships are distractions. He doesn't date - he pays for discretion. His nights are transactional, his heart locked away until Danica. She's chaos wrapped in beauty. She's everything he shouldn't want - and everything he can't ignore. For the first time, Ben finds himself unravelling. She's not a business deal. She's not a fantasy. She's real. And she's dangerous to everything he's built. Now, both of them are on a collision course neither planned. Lust turns into longing. Fear turns into vulnerability. And the question looms: Can two people who run from love survive what it feels like to finally fall?--- Hey guys, just a quick note-this book isn't exactly dark and gritty, but it's not a fluffy romance either. It dances somewhere between the two. Trigger Warnings: Instances of rape Rape Instances of suicide Abuse Violence Death Language

Nov. 2020 First place in the Cosmic Rose Awards Sci-FI genre. March 2019 2nd place in the GQ awards LGBTQ genre . Currently ranking #213 in Sci-fi out of over 81k stories. The earth has suffered catastrophic climate change. Ben, a dreamer with a past and a price on his head, hides in the shadows and trusts no-one until he meets Per, another man who is also a misfit. Their relationship grows as their lives become ever more precarious, until together with an orphaned small boy, they risk everything and set off on a perilous journey to find a place to call home The violence of the climate change far exceeded even the most pessimistic 21st century scenarios The idealists who built the biosphere Eden city of Esperance to protect and shelter humanity were betrayed by the super-rich Tesh Viks to whom they turned for financial help. The Tesh Viks took the view that the city and its inhabitants were to be theirs to rule absolutely, dedicated to preserving a life of luxury and comfort for the few. Under their despotic rule Esperance is crumbling. Mired in corruption and incompetence the city is beginning to fall apart. Every free citizen lives with the fear of slipping down and over the line into debt bondage and slavery. Apathy, exhaustion and fear keep people obedient. Life is regulated by the City Code that governs all aspect of dress and behaviour. Fines and punishments for non-conformity are increasingly severe but people are trapped because everyone knows life outside the City is impossible...

The latter half of the 21st century has not been kind to anyone, but especially to the city of Phoenix. Forced into an entirely nocturnal existence following events aptly- or sensationally- branded "The Culling of the Phoenix" in which day-time temperatures have become lethal, the city sits forgotten in the shadows. However, opportunity glistens in the dark. And years later American trillionaire, Gary Godric, has invested interests in the city. After becoming the wealthiest man in the world through his discovery of a nuclear "miracle element", he has a plan to power half of the world through one giant reactor. A reactor which is under construction in the twilight city of Phoenix. Reborn and reinvigorated. When the story begins, Godric is set to unveil his ambitious project just a few days prior to the new century. Issues arise, though, when he is killed in a tragic- and accidently public- accident that stutters the whole world. Fast forward to later that same night, and the two main characters, the ardent Michael "Mikey" Cox, and the more level-headed Gregg Goyer, two regulatory agents for the city, get a call to respond to a high-profile incident. It's there that they end up stumbling into a rabbit hole that the trillionaire's death opened wide up and that neither can seem to escape from. Coincidences quickly becoming conspiracies, and conspiracies become their spiraling and increasingly violent realities. All the while, the birth of the 22nd century looms over all.

guys please don't read this anymore lmao i write totally differently now💋 _________________ In a future where humans are genetically modified -- 'altered' -- at the age of sixteen, the world has been, until now, a safe place. Without changing a person's personality, undergoing the Alteration perfects their appearance, IQ, and even their immunity to diseases. No human passes the age of sixteen without being Altered. In the blink of an eye, things change. An ominous message is sent out to all of those below the age of sixteen, providing precise instructions that suggest they flee. Simultaneously, a deadly virus starts to spread all about the world, attacking only the Altered -- every human over the age of sixteen. The virus eats at the modified human brain, and soon the Unaltered begin to realise that the Altered are losing their minds. Home is no longer safe. Friends and family turn on one another, losing control of their own minds and bodies. The Unaltered aren't safe. Even if the virus isn't attacking them, the ones with the virus are. Set on a pristine, futuristic Earth, this is the apocalypse like you've never seen it before. (Rated mature for graphic depictions of violence and mild language.)

Let me tell you what it was to be made vampire. It wasn't birth. Birth implies pushing, tearing forth into the light, screaming. Becoming immortal was to be pulled, to be tugged irrevocably into darkness, and it was silent. I should have fought, any person should fight, but my mind had been filled with a hazy calm which forbade any battle. Struggling had been the last thing on my mind, even when my bus arrived and my assailant waved it on, dismissing my last hope of escape. Yet my lack of rebellion was far from the most unsettling part of the stranger's control over me. The truth was that the man could've asked anything of me and I would've complied, but he didn't need to vocalise his request. I knew instinctively what he wanted. I sighed and surrendered myself as he held me against his front in a lover's embrace, tipping my head and willingly giving him access to my throat. "One day you'll understand," he whispered, his tone subdued. I've often wondered since if he was really talking to me. Perhaps he'd been talking to himself, persuading himself that one day I'd know and accept his reasons for what he'd planned for me. I wouldn't. I couldn't. Because when my fangs came in, my world altered irrevocably. It became somewhere dark, somewhere filled with murder and blood, where magic was sinister and where even my closest ally seemed more like an enemy... Even if he did make my heart skip a beat.

A deaf boy, named Nigel, settles in the image of what everyone sees him as: a once hearing-to-deaf and pitiful teen. With that, he's able to hide the his true and dark nature that allows him to take revenge out on those who hurt someone he cared for the most. Until one of those people he intends to punish, Evan, happens to be someone he didn't expect to care for. Someone he can't decide to hurt, or protect from his own nature he can't help. *** "Why are you looking at my lips?" Evan questions him, and he saw Nigel look back at them again. "Are you into dudes or something? Listen, I'm straight, but I don't have a problem with gay dudes. Just don't try to force your sexuality onto me, that's pretty shitty." The more he spoke, the more Nigel would look at his lips. Evan began to cover his mouth now and saw Nigel almost look offended by him doing so. Now he was confused and raised his eyebrow. Only to see Nigel sigh, stepping back as he looked down at Evan in contempt. "I am deaf, but I can read lips perfectly. You really have no filter, saying whatever you want without the consideration of how others might feel." Nigel spoke up, shocking Evan as he heard his voice for the first time. "I'm bisexual, not gay; but you don't need to worry. I wouldn't dream of forcing anything upon anyone. Besides, I'd never like somebody like you." Evan watched as Nigel began to reach behind the counter, pulling up a camera out of nowhere. That's when his picture was taken on the spot and he flinched. Except Nigel just connected the camera to the computer as Evan's picture was extracted. Set on a template for a library card, he saw Nigel working on it. He didn't care about that though as it was the words that he said. 'Besides, I'd never like somebody like you.' That was ringing in his mind more than anything else because... "Wait, I think I heard you wrong."

Bit has been on the streets of Night City since he was very young. Escaping from the Tyger Claws with his strange abilities, now he does his best to get by while dealing with intense chronic pain. Sensing a very bad pain day, Bit follows his mysterious instincts to a spot that rings with promised safety. Little does he know that this decision would change the course of his life forever. safety, comfort, treatment, self doubt, danger, and maybe even love are laid bare. human hybrid x minotaur gang leader & orc gang leader This takes place in a slightly different version of the Cyberpunk 2077 world. With all the tech and augmentation, is anyone really surprised that humans aren't the only things kicking around? Elves, orcs, minotaurs, dragons, and more roam the streets of Night City alongside humans. Hybrids are common, but human hybrids are rare. This is thanks to the fact that humans are either incompatible or hyper compatible with other species. Meaning that when humans mate with someone from another species they either won't be able to have children, or the children will either be human or their other parent's species. So human hybrids are stupid rare.
