A twisted, terror-filled game of cat and mouse in deep space!
An interplanetary smuggler stumbles upon a gigantic ghost ship. He believes it to be abandoned, until he steps inside and someone hails him over a loudspeaker. The sinister deck proves to be an obstacle-rich labyrinth. The spontaneous rescue operation turns into a nightmare. The rescuer and rescuee are driven insane by mutual distrust - even before they ever met in person. The long-trapped, enigmatic woman can only rely on phonecalls to guide the astronaut to herself, all the way to the heart of the metal colossus, where everything shall be answered:
Who is the derelict's tour guide?
What sort of catastrophe caused the mountainous machine's breakdown and the crew's extinction?
Was there an ulterior motive behind the woman's luring of the captain?
Is there any hope of escaping?
11,700 words / 40 pages. Psychological thriller, in a sci-fi setting. Experimental plot. Twist upon twist. Have a good read! :)

Bound in Roses and Chains || Park Jimin
"You're a psychopath." "Awh, sweetheart, you really mean that?" • • • [ENEMIES TO LOVERS] In a cyberpunk world, low-life smuggler Park Jimin lives in the Undercity, a dangerous underground with over one hundred levels, each with their own traits and dangers. Aboveground is the Royal Court, the governing faction who rarely bothers to stick their head in to check on their dying people. Jimin smuggles all kinds of goods down the levels, but no one ever goes up. Going up is asking for death. Only someone with no sense of self-preservation would ever try to smuggle goods up. Yet Jimin finds himself smuggling goods up. And not just any goods―a member of the Royal Court. Princess Y/n L/n is trapped 42 levels down in the Undercity. Park Jimin is her only hope, but their drastically different personalities clash and lead to fatal mistakes, betrayals around every corner, and a mysterious past Y/n hides from Jimin. The ultimate question is what awaits at the Royal Court, and, most importantly, can Y/n and Jimin make it, or will they die trying? Or, more likely, will they kill each other first? --- If you are reading this story on any other platform other than Wattpad you are very likely to be at risk of a malware attack and reading a plagiarized copy of my work.

Surviving the Theseus
Regina, trained to find the dregs of humanity, trained to kill, is forced into vacation because her peers are getting murdered. At first, the massive cruise vessel she chooses as her resort destination seems... tolerable, and then, in the span of a few hours, everyone disappears, thousands of passengers vanish. As Regina explores the ship, not only does she discover pile after pile of clothing and no bodies, she finds a fear not felt for years. Although she cannot know for certain something is there, an ominous orange light appearing out of nowhere leaves little doubt some unseen thing hunts her. And all that is just the beginning. It is a time of restricted space travel so enforced that almost nobody can veer off course, but nobody knows why. They're about to find out. Get ready for a Sci-Fi/Horror/Thriller roller coaster ride. Author's Note: This novel contains strong language, intense scenes, and a sexually described event. If this novel were a movie, it would be rated R. I originally published this novel back in 2010 and had a re-edit done in 2015. In that time, I've not done much of anything to promote myself so I'm hoping to get a fan or two through Wattpad. Thanks and I really hope you enjoy it. If you would be so kind I would appreciate any feedback and a star if you liked it at all. Thanks so much.

"Alien: Apollo 23: Dark Side of the Moon" A Alien Universe Fan Story
Decades before Ellen Ripley and the crew of the Nostromo stumbled upon the derelict spacecraft, a top-secret NASA mission dared to explore the Moon's hidden far side. Apollo 23 was meant to be routine-a scientific survey of lunar anomalies. But what the astronauts discovered was far from ordinary. Trapped hundreds of miles from Earth, the crew must confront a perfect predator: a Xenomorph, intelligent, adaptive, and lethal. As survival becomes a desperate gamble against time, isolation, and fear itself, humanity's first encounter with the ultimate nightmare begins. In the void of space, there is no rescue, and in the shadows of the Moon, terror waits. Content Warning: This story contains intense horror, graphic violence, and gore, including scenes of bodily trauma and alien attacks. There are depictions of extreme psychological tension, fear, and suspense. The narrative explores human survival under life-threatening conditions and includes mature themes of death, isolation, and terror. Reader discretion is strongly advised.Complete
The House That Whispers
It wasn't supposed to be a rescue. It wasn't even supposed to be real. A drunken dare. A reckless chase. A twisted game. Harry and his friends entered the house with one thought-to take what wasn't theirs. But the moment they crossed the threshold, the game turned against them. The doors locked. The walls shifted. Their desires became chains, their laughter swallowed by silence. At first, they thought it was a man-a monster lurking in the dark, toying with them. But the deeper they went, the more the truth clawed at their sanity. The house was alive. And it wanted them to suffer. Time unraveled. Lust turned to regret. Hunger turned to madness. Their mistakes tightened like a noose, and soon, Harry found himself losing more than just his way. He was losing them. And the house was still watching. Because no one leaves until it is done with them. The House That WhispersComplete

White Crystal Butterflies | Wattys 2021 Shortlist | ✔
❖ Interstellar pilot and ex-adventurer Alex Gallegos must keep their team safe on an icy moon as sentient storms threaten to repeat the tragedy that ended their last career. ❖ Everyone in the United Inhabited Solar Systems (for some reason, UIS for short) knows to stay away from Mahaha. The icy moon is notorious for failed probe landings and research missions that end in tragedy: the only people to ever venture to its surface needed rescuing after just two weeks. When a prestigious research group decides they want a turn, they ask Alex Gallegos to lead the team. Perfectly qualified and haunted by their past, Alex accepts, hoping to make up for old mistakes and get just a little further from the earth they've left behind. Two months into the seven-month mission, the team is struggling with discontent, damaged equipment, and blizzards acting less and less like normal weather. As Mahaha moves out of range of help and the storms take on a more malicious character, Alex must face the one foe they could never have prepared for. Mahaha may or may not be alive. ❖❖❖ Complete.
