In a world built on exhaustion and obedience, one man's only goal is survival. But when whispers of rebellion turn into explosions beyond the factory walls, his routine and his silence are shattered.
While the heroes of the revolution rise and fall in the streets, he remains in the shadows, caught between fear and necessity. The city burns, the system cracks, and he is left to face the truth that no uprising is clean.
This is not a story about the revolutionaries.
It's about the people still clocking in while the world collapses around them.

Locus: The Age of Spring
If Kai knew the cost of his words, he might not have spoken. If Emi had been more observant, she wouldn't have been the center of a conspiracy. Maybe fate is in control. If not, Emi, Kai, Miles, Pablo, and everyone around them have made some pretty shitty choices. The year is 2249. When the rebel group, Spring, sets fire to an abandoned airport, the lives of the rebels and the citizens of Zafran are forced to change. Security tightens, while the Amal encampment south of Zafran raises banners in support of Twin Blades. Maybe the fire is just another act of arson committed by Spring, or maybe it's exactly what the Supremacy needs to enter Amal. This is the story of Spring. What to expect: Slow burn drama Heavily character-driven. The plot moves because of the characters' personalities, actions, reactions, emotions, and relationships. Locus is the first volume of a trilogy. Feedback is always appreciated and will help me write with more confidence: knowing what is working, and what can be improved. I eventually hope to publish at a faster rate, since I am spending a lot of time editing and revamping early chapters with guesswork. Author's fun additions: - Author's art in every chapter - Characters hopefully feel like they have their own voice. They each have a different focus and perspective in their chapters, and I hope it shows. - Character extras to get the know character better is in post author's notes. - The Age of Spring - Companion is another fiction I publish, and it includes extra chapters, tidbits about the world and characters, but nothing required for understanding the main story. ⚡︎ ➹ ☍ Icons correspond to which POV the chapter is narrated by. ⚠️ Content Warning: This story contains strong language, psychological trauma, and graphic violence *** Pubishes every other Friday at 7PM EST.
What Lasts in Us
**COMPLETED** Several years after the world succumbed to a deadly strain of measles that turned those infected into crazed, mindless cannibals, Charlotte wanders the backroads alone, content with surviving day-to-day. That is until she crosses paths with Nate and his daughter, Emmi. Emmi is not and cannot be vaccinated against the disease, so the only way to protect her and give her some kind of life is to reunite her with her estranged mother in a quarantine zone on the other side of the country. Charlotte wants nothing to do with Nate or the girl who looks like her dead sister. She does not want to go through the grief of losing people again if something bad was to happen. And something bad does happen when Emmi is kidnapped, and it is no one's fault but Charlotte's. Through this obligation alone, Charlotte feels like it is her responsibility to get Emmi back, to right her wrong. In helping Nate pursue his kidnapped daughter, Charlotte inadvertently allows herself to feel again, to care for those other than herself. But with the clock ticking, Charlotte's new found family may just end up like her own, dead and destroyed, if Emmi is exposed to the disease that her father tried so hard to protect her from.Complete
