As the sky collapses and reality thins, Orin finds fleeting peace in old habits and stolen silences-knowing deep down that escape may only exist in surrender.Can he finally bring peace? Can he salvage this broken world?

I'm not scared, I swear
A psychological horror about identity, survival, and the fragile line between childlike innocence and something darker. In this world, it is just as messy. Oh! Did I get your attention? Nice. Sorry if that was a word salad to you, but I have to catch you from the crowd somehow. The story centers around Conner. A broken golden retriever furry. He searches for simple physiological needs and steps up the pyramid to find himself in a broken world with nothing but rubble and all sorts of company. Say that sentence in one breath. Conner ventures out in the vast enclosed environment while trying to get a sense of his past, present, and future. The world is in ruins, from mysterious entities that nobody has the answer for their origin. Or, perhaps, nobody has the guts to look deeper. In this adventure, it has trauma, drama, comedy, oddities, tears, fears, death, and romance! You can't rhyme with that now, can you? Every chapter adds a puzzle on the piece. Revealing the big picture, or at least, half of it. This is heavily based on First Person POV, and how the story is dictated is biased upon Conner's interpretation.

When The World Burned

Rue was born the day this happened, an abomination born in a lab, but her life is only beginning at sixteen. She is stepping out of her home to meet a whole new world... For those Rue meets it is both a familiar world and a horrifying one. Mutations, demons, and other creatures rule the planet now. Those who survive either become monsters or fight them. The truth behind it all may all be connected to her.Complete
AbOMINATION (The Remnants Saga, Book 1)
They were born different. They were told they were wrong. Science calls them Aberrations. The government calls them Abominations. To the world, they're monsters blamed for its collapse. Hunted. Culled. Dissected. Erased. But in a fight for memory, identity, and survival, what happens when the only way to live... is to become exactly what they fear?
The End's Chosen (Book one)
PS: I do use AI for grammar and spelling but it is still my story and idea and I still have my own creative direction I did so it is easier for you to be able to read ... A boy wakes up in a broken world, his backpack scattered, his heart heavy with questions. The sky feels too quiet, the shadows too close. Nothing looks familiar-except the weight of betrayal already burning inside him. He doesn't know who to trust. He doesn't even know if the light that saved him is real... or just another lie. But one thing is clear: the world is falling apart, and he's the only one still standing. In a place where hope is shattered and family cuts deeper than enemies, survival isn't enough-you have to fight to keep your soul.
The Last Teens on Earth
The planet was saved by a scientist who created a cure for Covid-19. All of a sudden, a new virus appears, turning everyone that has a healthy life into mutant animals. Those human-turned predators will have no memory of their human life and will now only live by nature's rules. Those who didn't get infected were either already sick, had a disease, or had a disorder. Those people were then experimented to find a cure but the human population decreased rapidly. Old people that weren't infected, died of old age. The world seems to be healing itself but there's still one problem. Who could be behind all of this? Find out more by reading this book now!

Wings | Fleeting Feathers Book 0
+ Co-written with Meteoritezr + First rule of living with the Flock? No names. Nothing real anyway. You don't survive with your humanity, you shed it, or it sheds you. Zombies were said to be impossible, that they'd never happen, well obviously whoever said that had underestimated human curiosity. It started with the melting of the Poles, which uncovered diseases that hadn't been seen in millennia. Obviously, when a flesh-eating parasitical virus was found, scientists in all their glory decided to study it, which led to the greatest calamity in human history. Warning: This is the original book 1, it is now considered more of a prelude/building character relationships arc than a book. This provides backstory and sets the foundation for the characters and their relationships. The action starts in the new book 1 - Migration. - TW: Gore, Cursing, Death, etc. Not recommended for anyone who can't stomach gore or other zombie stuff or LGBTQ+. Homophobia will not be tolerated in any way, shape, or form -Complete

[DISCONTINUED BC OF THE DEV DRAMA] CHILD reader insert!! You were never meant to die to the hands of such a cruel fate. You were never meant to bear the burden of two powerful Gods' eyes watching you. And Most certainly, you were never planned to be in a game of infinite suffering. Yet, whether it was considered mercy or not, you were granted another chance at life, somewhere new. You couldn't even remember what lead you to arrive in a forest full of strangers, or why you were being chased. You didn't know what you did wrong. You just wanted to go home. But was home even safe anymore? Or was it better to be subjected to the endless torment...? Maybe, just maybe, you can make things better here...for everyone. Started: 09/21/25 Ended:???
What Remains
You've been alone so long, you've forgotten how to be anything else. Cities have become graveyards, and hope is just another thing that gets you killed. You survive by hiding, stealing, and trusting no one-until Dabi chains you to his wrist and makes your fate his own. As you navigate the ruins together, every moment is a fight-for survival, for dominance, for scraps of mercy in a brutal world. But when the line between captor and companion blurs, you realise sometimes the only way out is through the fire.Complete
