In Her Head
Something old. Something new. Something borrowed... something blue. Cleo Cohen didn't sign up for superpowers - or for a second consciousness living in her head. When a clinical trial at Nova Pharmaceuticals goes wrong, Ground Zero rewrites everything. A butterfly flaps its wings - and a building explodes. Now Cleo is stuck sharing her mind with Zeke, a dead Supersoldier whose presence bleeds into her thoughts, memories, and sense of self. Outside her head, the world is collapsing into factions: Nova, Homeland, and something far stranger forming in the aftermath. Jack, Nova's unpredictable Supersoldier, is hunting for answers - and erasing anything that gets in his way. Cass, a Homeland investigator, starts uncovering a pattern that doesn't make sense. And Mr. E, a psychic who sees the board instead of the people on it, is quietly moving everyone toward something no one understands yet. Cleo just wants her life back. But the more she resists, the more the voice in her head becomes something else entirely. Power is a parasite. And in this story, the body is the battlefield. TW: This story can be intense. Includes themes of: self harm, PTSD, dissociation, body horror, attempted sexual assault, torture, cult themes and human trafficking.
Wildfire
In the shimmering heights of Manhattan, Lauren Morrison's world appears immaculate - life shaped by ambition, success, and the stories she weaves. But when fragments of her imagination begin to manifest in unsettling ways, the delicate scaffolding of her reality starts to fracture. Desperate for answers, Lauren is drawn to an enigmatic psychiatrist whose insights seem to pierce the very fabric of her mind. Yet, the more she uncovers, the more the world around her shifts -relationships tangle, truths blur, and the boundaries between creation and destruction grow perilously thin. As Lauren ventures deeper into the labyrinth of her own psyche, she must navigate whispers of obsession, power, and betrayal. Some fires are sparked by chance; others are kindled with purpose. In the heart of this blaze, one question burns brighter than the rest: who is really holding the pen? -------- This is a work of fiction. All characters, events, and places depicted are purely the product of the author's imagination. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or to real-life events or locations, is entirely coincidental.Complete
At the End of the Day
[COMPLETED] "We both agreed, Apollo! We said no feelings, no attachments! You promised you wouldn't get attached." I look down at my lap in worry and shame. I have no idea what to say, I promised her, but like an idiot I broke that promise. "Say something!" My breath hitches and I look up at my beautiful girl through my lashes, my eyes brimming with tears because I know after tonight we won't be seeing each other again. I stand up from the edge of the bed and walk over to her, watching as her chest moves up and down harshly with each breath. My eyes trail over the love marks I left moments ago when we were happy to only get lost in each other's arms temporarily. She's mad at me. I never wanted her to be mad at me. "I'm sorry, baby," I whisper reaching forward to run my finger along her cheek catching the falling tear that flows down her soft skin. "You promised." She whispers. I know. "I promise I'm not attached, Blue." Too late. ••• Apollo and Blue have a few things in common. They're both lonely, they're both sad and they both attend the same university, a place where they stumble upon each other for the first time.

Caught In The Sun
Naomi Reed remembers the crash... and the pain that came after. Court-mandated therapy. Broken ribs. A face that doesn't look like hers anymore. She's not sure what hurts more: the accident, or the silence that followed it. The friends who disappeared. The boy she still dreams about. The weight of a truth she won't say out loud. Now, she's stuck at The Third Space-a beach-themed therapy office miles from anything that feels like home. Talking to a tattooed, too-charming therapist named Cole. Who smells like saltwater and doesn't flinch when she says the hard stuff. Naomi isn't looking to be saved. She's just trying to survive. But the past doesn't stay buried. And when the sessions start peeling back the layers, one name keeps surfacing. The one person she can't forget. The one she was never supposed to love like that. A story about heartbreak, memory, and the kind of love that leaves scars. For anyone who's ever held on too tightly... or let go too late.
Road to Night Café
When psychiatrist Dr. Lucian Harlow begins treating patients who share the same recurring dream - a glowing café where no one speaks and time stands still - he's forced to confront his own forgotten past. He's seen that place before. He just doesn't remember when. Full Synopsis: After a near-fatal childhood accident, Lucian Harlow grew up chasing logic and reason - building a career to silence the chaos of his early visions. But when a series of patients begin describing an identical dream - a café bathed in flickering crimson light, filled with unmoving figures - Lucian's scientific certainty begins to crack. As he unravels the link between his patients, their dreams, and his own forgotten trauma, he discovers traces of a hidden group of dark smiths - people capable of entering and manipulating the dreams of others. Each session pulls him deeper into their world, and closer to the truth buried in his own mind. Somewhere beyond sleep, the Night Café waits - a place for the lost, the guilty, and the damned. And the road back there has already begun. Author's Note / Credit: Inspired by the haunting brilliance of Vincent van Gogh's "The Night Café," this story explores the beauty and terror of the mind - where dreams blur into memory, and sanity is only a matter of perspective. A psychological descent through guilt, art, and consciousness - for readers who love Inception, Shutter Island, and The OA.
