We Promised Tomorrow is a dystopian novel set in March 2056. It begins when the commandment "Thou shalt not be forgiven" burns into every Bible across the world, triggering chaos. Rifts tear open the earth, unleashing demons that ravage cities-Chicago, Mumbai, Nairobi-reducing them to ash. Six survivors converge: Mara Evans, armed with a pitchfork; Elias Holt, wielding a shotgun; Aisha Mwangi, carrying a guitar; Lila, scarred by guilt; Father Mateo, clutching a Bible; and young Sam, with his teddy bear. They fight through ruined plains, gas stations, and caves, losing Vikram to a rift-sealing sacrifice. Blood-Vikram's, Lila's, Sam's-closes gates, but their confessions and will prove stronger, defying despair. Facing the devil's towering arm and a golden refuge, they reject escape, sealing the last rift in a valley. There, they rebuild among survivors, forging a fragile dawn from ash through choice, not grace.

The world did in fact not end with a bang, but a whisper. Nothing was left but a suffocating stillness. The air was thick with ash, the remnants of humanity left to crawl through a poisoned wasteland. The whispers of those we had lost haunted us. The line between predator and prey had began to blur. The dead did not rest but it was the survivors that plunged the earth into darkness. I had grew to watch the accustomed look of desperation between my group. Haunted by my past I became a distant memory to those I once looked to for hope. They just didn't understand that biding time wasn't a blessing, it was a curse. And I realised, as the sky grew white-the end was never the worst part; it was what came after. ---------- Book series: Book 1- In the Afterlife Book 2- Ashes of tomorrowComplet
Fear
Psychological Horror and Slow-burn Dark Romance. 18+ --------------------------- It's been five years since that fateful Friday night. I remember it like it was yesterday. The night I was kidnapped. I was held against my will. Tortured. Starved. Broken apart, piece by piece. All in the name of "curing" me. He didn't just steal my freedom. He rewrote the rules of pain, of fear - and then, somehow, of love. If you'd told me I'd fall for the man who ruined my life, I would've laughed in your face. But reality doesn't always follow logic. He's given me this journal and I'm going to write my story. This is my truth. My confession. My war cry. Because what he did to me deserves to be known. --------------------------- THIS BOOK CONTAINS TRAUMATIC CONTENT! TRIGGER WARNINGS: Kidnapping, assault, systemic abuse, mentions of Domestic Violence and childhood trauma, phobias, blood and gore, body horror, and mental illnesses including severe psychosis. READER DISCRETION IS STRONGLY ADVISED! --------------------------- Original: 2023-2024 Rewrite: Feb 2025 to Jan 2026 Vaguely inspired by: Fear by Lovelyseok.Complet
For the Taking ✅
The girl with no wolf. An extra mouth to feed. A liability. A defenseless miscreation. Seraphina had heard it all. She had felt it all too. The bone aching bruises, the defenseless claw scratches just shy of her neck on the edges of her collarbone, she had seen it all too. It had been so long since it had started that she couldn't recall a time when the degradation was compliments and not insults. Now, it was all she ever expected. If she had known five years ago that not having a wolf would cause this much hate she would have begged her parents to move to another pack. It felt like an eternity since it all happened. Or rather what didn't happen. She still could not shift. She was defective. A mistake in the gene pool. But she didn't know she would end up like this. She couldn't have, just like she couldn't have expected to come face to face with the Alpha Slayer. A man casted in shadow. Not many had ever seen his face, but that didn't make him any less real. Alphas after all were dethroned from the likes of him. Word spreads quickly. So, when Seraphina ends up in his line of sight she has a lot more to figure out than just not having a wolf, because it very well might cost her, her life. Updated: Weekly ⚠️Mature Content⚠️ Book is completed and currently being revised and rewritten. This is book one of the For the Taking Trilogy.Complet
The Queen's Slave (Book 1)
"So." She mused, sliding one black nail across her lip in a sensual caress as she stared at me with eyes the color of molten gold. "You are the one they call Huntress." Disregarding the pain in my side from the most recent beating, I straightened my shoulders and stood tall, my chin jutting out in defiance. "Yes." "Mm." Those intriguing eyes watched me from her languid position on the throne. "But, you are not just a huntress, are you?" I allowed the predatory instincts I usually worked so hard to keep hidden, to surface, feeling the burning of my eyes and shifting of bones under my skin. A slow grin slid across my face as my beast stared back at her through my human skin. The Queen didn't react to my sudden change of character, instead choosing to lean forward in interest. "How fascinating." • Once, the world was ruled by humans and technology. They were governed by a president that made choices for all. Vampires, werewolves alike hid their existence from the humans for centuries, blending in as a whole. Now, they hid no more. States are now territories governed by kings and queens, humans are regarded and used for no more than their blood and body before they are discarded and forgotten. Werewolves and vampires were at war, and it was said that the wolves had all been but snuffed out, save for one. When Adira is captured while hunting outside her homeland, she is unexpectedly sold to the Queen in the North. Wolf blood is sacred, it is said to hold inexplainable powers, and as the only wolf-borne known to humans and vampires alike, Adira fears for her life. Thrown into a world governed by everything she's been trained to hate, Adira fights for her rightful place in the world, a seat at the Queen's side. But proving her worth won't be easy, the price for failure is her life.Complet
Dickhead Syndrome
The story of bullying and romance and gangs. And abuse. It shows how any life can get out of hand. "My boyfriends father is choking me! Because I won't let him rape me!" Does she give in or not? "My family will be looking for you and me. They will come save me so you better let me go." "Your family isn't your family no more we hear that you have gone different paths is that not true. And before you lie. We have a lie detector here. And if anyone goes looking for you they will see your note that you will be gone for awhile." My fear started to eat at me. The overthrowing urge of vomiting came across my body. Does she get out or is she gone forever.Complet
A World Once Lost
The world ended not with a whisper, but with fire. Now, in the ashes of a nation, one spark of rebellion could ignite everything. President Truman Jones promised freedom. What he delivered was surveillance, silence, and slaughter. From the safety of his underground bunker, he unleashed a storm of war that scorched the earth and shattered the old world. Now, the remnants of humanity live in fear-haunted by the masked enforcers of SILO, hunted for any act of defiance. In the rubble of a once-thriving town, a small group of survivors clings to each other, scraping together hope from broken dreams and rusted steel. But when a routine mission leads to tragedy-and a child goes missing-Missy Rees and her makeshift family are forced into a desperate chase for answers. Haunted by grief, driven by love, and pursued by monsters in uniform, they will risk everything to unravel the truth behind SILO... and confront the shadows of their pasts. In a world built on fear, courage is a rebellion. And sometimes, the smallest spark is all it takes to set the world on fire.Complet
24 Hours to the Reaper
What if you could relive the apocalypse... every damn day? Ethan Reyes: 20-year-old coder in steamy Florida, nursing a crush on sketch artist Lila, surviving roommate Jake's antics, and haunted by his dad's cosmic vanishing act. Until 10 a.m. glitches reality. The sky tears. Reaper Light blasts down, torching cities, dissolving flesh, silencing screams. Ethan incinerates-then jolts awake, 24 hours back. Same buzz. Same brew. Doom clock reset. Nightmare? Curse. He tests it: lotto wins, frozen watch at doomsday hour. Now he's hacking shadows-a rogue NASA quantum lab, alien signals hunting loopers. Allies emerge: Lila's prophetic art igniting sparks (and romance); Jake's grins cracking under pressure; Prof. Voss, her gaze hiding world-shattering code. Loops choke tighter. Truth drops: Not chaos-a vengeful cosmic invite, sparked by human arrogance. Screw up, and it's permanent endgame. Pals perish for keeps. Love chars away. World fades in infinite what ifs. Ethan races his echo: shatter the cycle, shield his circle, stare down the Reaper in the glass. Tick-tock. 24 hours. Game over-again.
Drowning Fish by Heron Djenne Canvasback
Welcome to the future, written in the past. A mutant plague has rendered part of the population as zombie-like humanoids. They have a conscious mind though, but their craving for brains is a bit of an antisocial issue. Being mostly made up of impoverished individuals, it is not surprised that they got cured cheaply and lastly, despite being the main test subjects. Lochlyn is their representative. She just wanted an education beyond elementary school. A little luckier stricken part of the infected population evolved into reverents. Reverants have a feudal system over the zombies to "keep them in order". The luck may have had to do with them being upper-class when being treated. Basilica is their representative. At eighteen, she wanted body modifications, a job, and etc... as a rite of passage entering adulthood. At least that's what she was thinking. The more she was told no, the more she wondered what she could do. There are still uninfected humans left in the U.S.A. Most of them are middle-class. Katrina is their representative. She gained a family member, but lost two. She aches to find out why she can never return home again. The three eighteen-year-old females, along with their beaus, journey for truth, equality, justice, restoration, love, and freedom lead them to the same end: the capital.

Her Secret
I sighed heavily as I scanned the forest. I had heard something or someone to be specific, wandering about. I decided I would leave once I affirmed they weren't a danger. "What are you doing in my land, human?" A deep enchanting voice spoke I sighed once again "I'm not human, just smell like one" I spoke as I turned around to see the most stunning man I have ever seen "Mate" he spoke "Find another female, Lycan" I spat He only growled at me in response. Men. My brother was the same way. It's kinda funny how all, correction, most shifter men think alike. I would've thought he would be different, after all, he is Lycan. Something of myths. But then again, so are the supernatural. I turned away from him, not even looking at him. I didn't want to remember what he looked like so I didn't give him a second glance. I heard him move closer. I quickly grabbed the knife out of my holster and threw it at a tree next to him. He stops moving then. "Heed my warning. It's the only one you'll get" I spoke coldly "I will find you. Then you will have no escape from me" he spoke as he backed away I could understand. Lycans, like lion-shifters, were going extinct. Therefore mates were even more important to them. But, even if I understood I still didn't want to be someone's mate. After all, I was Destiny Requalhi, Creator and Destructor of All. ------------------------------ Destiny Requalhi, a girl with a rough past and set in stone future. She wanted to be a normal lioness when she grew up but got so much more. She constantly is looking behind her back ready for a random attack to bestow itself upon her.
