In a world where silence is no longer empty, a mysterious signal spreads through radios, walls, and human minds. Those who hear it are transformed into vessels for a Voice older than the world itself-half-sound, half-silence, reshaping reality with every whispered word.
When a small group of survivors seeks the legendary Stillpoint-a place untouched by noise-they uncover a terrifying truth: the Voice doesn't just speak, it rewrites existence. Cities, forests, even the air itself become language, and the last humans must choose whether to resist or become part of its story.
In the end, the world itself listens. And once the Voice begins to speak, there is no turning back.

The Shattered One
This is an original work, so if you plan to offer something, don't. She woke up fractured, wrong, and forgotten. The world she once knew is gone, twisted by a cataclysm known only as The Fade. Now, forests breathe, light drips like water, and creatures mimic human voices with uncanny precision. Time bends in impossible ways, and raw emotion manifests into monsters. Nothing is natural. Everything watches. In this new, devouring world, a lake calls to her. The sky whispers her name. Something ancient stirs-something that remembers what she once was, before she was broken and buried. As she journeys through the remnants of a shattered reality, hunted by the very fabric of emotion, she begins to uncover the truth of her origin and the role she was meant to play in a world unmade. But some secrets are buried for a reason. And in The Fade, even your feelings can kill you.

Something watches from the shadows-an entity as relentless as the darkness itself. Each step pulls them closer to a truth they were never meant to uncover, and as night falls, their bond and courage are tested against a nightmare that defies reason. In this unforgiving place, the forest doesn't just keep secrets-it devours them.Complete
555: When the Sky Forgot Her Name
One morning, the world wakes up quieter. Half its heartbeat gone. Across cities and towns, every woman has vanished; every mother, sister, lover, child-without sound or trace. What remains is a world of men, disoriented and dangerous, searching for meaning in the silence they created. Amid the ruin, one woman survives. She hides in plain sight, walking through the ashes of order, wearing a voice that is not her own. As fear hardens into faith and the faithful turn violent, she must navigate the last version of humanity left behind, one that worships what it lost and destroys what it can't understand. But somewhere beyond the static, a voice calls through the dark, and the last woman on earth is listening.
The Wolf's Prey
[completed!] Under editing! Man kind, invincible and scared of nothing. We were the superior race, and we revelled in it. We all thought we were the ones at the top of the food chain, completely untouchable. However it was like I said, we 'thought' we were. In the darkness lurks a creature like no other, that prays upon us. Hunting us! Waiting for just the right moment to strike, to knock us off of our high pedestal and back onto the ground. I know this because I have seen this beast. Been face to face with it, battled toe to toe with this creature, fighting for what was left of my life, and I was losing! - - - - - - - - "Watch out!" I scream in alert, as a hard thudding sound pierced our ears as something slammed into our side of the car, sending a sensation of dizziness as the car spun of of control. The screeching tires dragged along the floor, with the faint stench of the irony liquid dripping from my head as it all grew still...Complete
Whispers in the Walls
They told me the house was empty. That the boy I was supposed to care for wasn't real. Just a doll. Just a job. But then I heard things. Felt things. The whispers in the walls, the way the air shifted like someone was always watching me. I should be scared. I should leave. But there's something about him-something that keeps pulling me back. Maybe it's the loneliness in his voice. Or the way he lingers in the shadows, waiting for me to see him. All I know is... I don't think I want to run anymore.Complete
The Egg
In the heart of the desert, a forgotten antenna begins to vibrate. No one else hears it. Except her. An echo repeats through frequencies that shouldn't exist. It doesn't carry voices. It doesn't carry data. It carries something older than any language. And it's growing. On the other side of the world, someone takes note. And someone else... prepares a response. A conspiratorial science fiction novel filled with mystery, impossible signals, and a truth not everyone is ready to face. It begins with a sound. It ends with a choice.

It's Somewhere Beneath Us
The house is safe. The hills outside are not. The basement is out of the question. Joel has been trapped in the house for what has felt like an eternity; all hope of escaping lost after the first few years. Without the company of the eight strangers who arrived with him, he would have gone mad long ago. But while living in the decrepit building is taxing, nothing could be worse than the thing downstairs. Everyone is content to just live in the six rooms that they know are safe until Joel learns that there may be something below. Something other than the creature that torments them. The house goes deeper, further down into the darkness. And while travelling through the unknown halls may be dangerous, and the thing downstairs is always following close behind, Joel is determined to find a way out of the nightmare he's found himself in; for his own sake, but more importantly, the sake of the people he loves.
