SOULSTUCK
In a "perfect" world where time has no meaning, a beast forged from the last bits of humanity left in the world scourges the earth. When a conformist employee of a megacorporation named Dr Fox is left to fix the mistakes of an eternity's past and break the cycle forever, an odyssey takes place in this utopian turned dystopian world. SOULSTUCK contains interpretations of serious mental conditions including generational trauma, dysmorphia, and delusions. There are also themes that may be upsetting to people with an extreme fear of being watched, amnesia, existentialism, or death. These conditions are sometimes presented in a non-explicit or allegorical manner, but might still be distressing to some readers. Ultimately, The Human Condition is a story about change.

Redemption Reserved for Superheros
(edit) I forgot to add that this started out as a confessional journal about becoming clean after a 10 year + addiction to OTC cold meds, but that was not my style of writing, I liked the material so I wanted to expand it into a novel length work featuring the journal elements. To say this work is a roller coaster would put it lightly. Although there are elements of time travel I would consider my sudden transitions reality travel. I use actual experience and dreams as a foundation, then toss in some fourth wall breaking narratives (meta-fiction), with a sprinkling of facts and quotations from songs and factual articles. It tends to be written similarly to an essay sans the boring. I have been influenced strongly by Vonnegut and W. S. Burroughs , and a wide variety of album rock, and that bleeds through. The tags dystopian and dark humor describe the whole piece best but there is a lot of genre jumping. I've done a good deal of research, not just for factual things but for the type of writing I do. Although not technically fan fiction, there is a nod to Final Fantasy games. The cover photo is a shared copyright, Brian Barbour took the photo, I added treatments.Complete
Rules of Society
What if you lived in a world where how you truly felt made you feel like you were in a prison in your own mind? Imagine if you had to put on a smile every time you woke up, just to not feel the terrifying anguish of what would happen to you if you let your authentic feelings out, like your emotions are screaming behind your forced smile. This is exactly how Penelope feels when she lost everything she ever loved. Life in this dystopian 1950's timeline, is hell on earth for her and the worst part is she can never tell anyone how she genuinely feels without the consequence of breaking any rules. 'Be happy, be quiet, and don't be yourself. Even if you want to scream how you feel because you can't take it anymore, put your smile mask on and shut up.' Imagine if that was how you had to live every single day? Not being able to show any other emotion besides joy and it driving you insane because you desperately want to scream with everything in you, but feeling hopeless because no one knows you're screaming or crying out for help.Complete
The Backrooms
It was like it happened out of thin air, like the moment I was there then gone in the next. Like I fell through the ground, where am I? How can I get out? What lies ahead in this barren "abandoned" world? And what waits for me?... *wake up* *Wake Up* *WAKE UP* Updates every 1-2 weeks on Fridays Some story relevance and references belong to Kane Pixels on YouTube for his backrooms series, I only use them for inspiration and for story references, its kind of a fanfiction based on his series =)Complete
The Backrooms: Essence of Desolation
Once, the world still meant something. People weren't hollow strangers, trust wasn't a cruel illusion, and freedom flowed as freely as water. Now drinkable water is scarce-and freedom even scarcer. Every step forward costs more than I can give, yet I keep moving, even when surrendering to the endless night would be easier. Why do I keep pressing on through these familiar alleys and shadowed corridors, where only death or desolation waits? Why am I carving these words into the crumbling face of an old concrete wall? When did my hand turn black? And how long ago did it become too late to turn back? ---------------------------- Yoooooo! What's up liminal lovers and clinical schizos! This is a rewrite of a story I made in the past that will likely have a different plot and generally be a thousand times better! Thanks to @_pepperleaf for being my amazing editor! Anyway enjoy the story, Love you guys! -LiminalOne

But when it all crashes down and she calls her friends for help, the chaos is gone. Everyone tells her she's tired. Overworked. Imagining things. But Lia knows what she saw. As strange events begin to repeat-unseen voices, flickers of movement, dreams that bleed into daylight-Lia begins to question what's real. Is something inside her breaking apart? Or is something outside trying to get in? In a town where nothing ever happens, Lia is about to find out that everything can change-especially when reality starts to bend.Complete
