"Beneath Unknown Torment" Book 1
In the small town of Bright Point Hollow, life is like any other day. Its slow, grey, and predictable-until it isn't. Dwight Garcia, a high school senior with little hope for the future, drifts through his final year with no clear direction. Like many others in town, he's used to the quiet struggles of everyday life-poverty, tension, and the slow crawl of time. But when dead bodies begin appearing across Bright Point Hollow, everything changes... As the death toll rises and the mystery deepens, fear infects the town like a disease. The police are lost. The leads are dead ends. And the people-already fractured by race, gender, and clashing beliefs now turn on one another. The true question is how far will people go to protect themselves? How long can someone keep going even through tragedy? And how long can you stay out of something that could already be at his doorstep? ( This is Book 1 of the "Beneath Unknown Torment." )Complete
Somewhere Beyond the Sea (The Gaslight District X Bioshock! Male Reader)
Rapture. It had been the dream of salvation - a haven where man would not be held back by petty morality or boorish governments. A city beneath the sea to wait out the end of humanity. But that dream became a nightmare as the city was consumed with madness and nightmarish mutation. Rapture was left forgotten, to rot and rust away beneath the waves as the world above carried on. But that world too is gone now. In its place is the Gaslight District, where the last vestiges of humanity are left to rot and sin for eternity. Two cities left to rot under their own follies and two figures connecting them together. A human who is feared like a monster... and a human who was turned into a monster.
