Blood of the willing
In the shadows of despair, a broken woman seeks the ultimate release... Magnolia has spent three years trying to rebuild her life after escaping captivity, but the scars run deeper than skin. Haunted by trauma and struggling with autism in a world that refuses to accommodate her differences, she makes one final choice: to surrender her life with dignity to a vampire who promises an end to her suffering. Henri Devereux has existed for four centuries, walking a careful path between monster and man. From his isolated château, he offers a unique service to those who wish to die-taking their blood in a ritual that gives meaning to their final moments. It's an arrangement that has preserved his humanity and satisfied his hunger... until now. What begins as a three-day preparation for death transforms into an unexpected connection as Henri recognizes something extraordinary in Magnolia's perspective-a unique way of experiencing the world that awakens curiosity he thought long dead. For Magnolia, the château offers something she never expected to find again: a space where her differences aren't flaws to be overcome but aspects to be respected. As midnight approaches on the third day, both must confront impossible questions. Can Magnolia find a reason to live after believing for so long that she was broken beyond repair? Can Henri relinquish the blood he craves without losing the connection that has awakened his long-dormant heart? A darkly romantic tale of trauma, healing, and the thin line between endings and beginnings, *Blood of the Willing* explores how two souls-one immortal, one shattered-might find completion in each other's broken pieces. *Content warning: Contains depictions of trauma, sexual assault, suicidal ideation, and consensual blood exchange.*Complete
The World Under
" The world is not ours alone. Beneath our footsteps lie stories older than stone, and voices that never stopped speaking. Not every shadow belongs to light, and not every silence is empty. The earth is crowded with forgotten beings, dwelling where our eyes cannot reach. They are not lost- they wait. And when we step too far, the door between worlds opens, and what was hidden remembers us."

Across the Lane
As my first story, this work is an exploration of love, longing, and the mysteries hidden within ordinary lives. It follows the journey of an orphan boy whose world changes when his curiosity draws him to a bungalow across the lane-an unsettling place where appearances are deceptive. Through his story, I aim to reflect on how perception shapes reality, and how hope and connection can emerge even in the most uncertain shadows.
