Amber's world shatters when inexplicable blackouts plunge her into a terrifying parallel reality. Haunted by vivid, brutal encounters with feral wolf-like creatures and inexplicable injuries that manifest on her real-world body, she grapples with a truth too outlandish to confess. Her husband, Drew, dismisses her claims as a mental breakdown, pushing their marriage to the brink as Amber desperately tries to bridge the chasm of his disbelief with undeniable proof-a self-inflicted scar meant to solidify her sanity, yet only deepens her pain.

But this other world holds more than just primal fear. Chained in a desolate cabin, Amber discovers Ivory, a young, scarred girl whose existence defies all logic. As Amber navigates the brutal customs of this alternate reality, labeled a 'Crazy Soft Bag' by its inhabitants, she finds herself entangled in a desperate bid to save Ivory, heal their impossible wounds, and somehow, find a way back to a reality where love might still triumph over the unbelievable. The Shifting Sands is a gripping tale of survival, fractured realities, and the desperate fight to reclaim not just a life, but the very fabric of one's own sanity.

My Brothers Shadow

73 parts Ongoing

18 year old Seven is the pride of 12th Street. With a 4.0 GPA, a clean record, and a future that stretches far beyond the projects, she's the "good girl" everyone points to. She lives her life by the book, tucked safely behind the protection of her brother, Serge, and the iron gate of her porch. She's a goldfish in a shark tank, and she knows it. But the walls Serge built are starting to feel thin. Ghost is the first crack in her foundation. He's Serge's right hand, a man who has known Seven since she was in pigtails. He's respectful, steady, and moves through their house with a silent, predatory grace. He knows the "don't touch" policy better than anyone, but the way he watches her from the kitchen door tells a different story. He's the familiar danger, the one who's always there, whispering that he sees the woman she's becoming. Then there is Lucky. If Ghost is the fire, Lucky is the cold, dark eclipse. As the man who runs the neighborhood, he doesn't come inside, and he doesn't play by anyone's rules, not even Serge's. He doesn't talk much. He doesn't have to, his presence is a loud enough statement. Seven is caught in the crosshairs of two different kinds of power. One man is her brother's best friend who respects the house, the other is the street legend who intends to own it. On 12th Street, loyalty is everything... but some temptations are worth the war.
