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! :)

Wattys 2021 Short List. Shipwrecked on a criminal-infested mining colony, military telepath Reid Kaplan needs answers about the attack on his ship and the unusual alien activity on the planet he's stranded on. Unfortunately, some of those answers might lie in a mind as unique as it is dangerously flawed. Customs inspector Jinsin Koel is used to having guns pointed at her head - but not ones attached to weapon-heavy cyborg insects who consider her lower on the food chain. The Xykeree, past enemies of humanity, should never have been allowed to dock at her home port. And they're just the start of her problems. Throw in a hereditary neurological illness and a secret society of soldiers genetically tailored for psionic combat and she has herself a whole new level of trouble ... the kind that could destroy her personal foundations and imperil billions of lives.

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.

"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.

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.

"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
