My writings contain dark topics or are more of darker fantasies based books. If you do not like dark themes or topics, murder, blood, gore, human pain and suffering, along with other similar topics. This is not the place for you. But I do not write to promote torture. I believe you have to suffer to become stronger. Additionally, I like spooky tales.. Do you like tea? Specifically boba, well this is a future book store is not a drink place. But do you like drama (did you get the joke?), dark fantasy, maybe a bit of romance, and virtues? I guess this is the right place for you. Don't follow, don't even like, and really don't comment ha ha. But seriously I hope you enjoy this story of how you never get away with anything you think you can. As the main character, a 'queen boss' herself will learn... Warning: Gangsters, violence, crude language, and vague descriptions of assault, harm, and death is in this story. As well as some 'oppressive' jokes.Complete
