In a near-future Britain where myth and mind have begun to intertwine, teenagers afflicted with Mythic Dissociation - a condition that fuses their consciousness with fragments of ancient gods - are quietly institutionalised in a government facility known as Ecliptic Ward. Hidden beneath the white cliffs of Dover, the ward is part psychiatric hospital, part containment lab. Its patients are considered unstable, dangerous, or possibly divine.

Almighty Beings: Beings Of Love
"Life had been a series of moves with my mom, but then we decided to settle down so she could follow her dream of opening a bakery with her best friend. We even made a deal: I'd brave the halls of public school again, a place I hadn't seen since I was little, and in return, I'd help out at the bakery. It felt like a real turning point, a chance for some stability. But then... things took a bizarre turn. A horrifying encounter, a rush of unsettling sensations, and suddenly my world is tilted on its axis. I can't tell reality from fantasy. I can't tell if I'm a murderer, worse, or if I have simply gone insane. I'm praying it's the latter."Complete
Stand Across
Once a year, every human on Earth loses one entire day. It doesn't feel like a blackout - it feels clean, like the day never existed. No one knows which day they lose, or what happens during it. Video footage erases itself. Time-stamped devices loop or glitch. Even diary entries vanish without smudges. Most people accept it. Some even like it. But a few... don't forget. The world isn't broken. Just folded. Bent along invisible seams no one admits are there. There is a place made of what we tried not to feel. Where echoes walk. Where memories wait to be picked up again. It's easy to cross over. Harder to come back whole. And something has started crossing the other way.Complete
