Science fiction/comedy/romance
Nothing much happens in Sarendune, a town plopped somewhere in a desert by the same name. 16 year old Declan knows that better than anyone. When he's not visiting his dad in the hospital or playing mediator between his mom and estranged sister, he spends his days hoverboarding and shoplifting from the local stores.
Until he meets Gizmo.
As eccentric as her name, Gizmo possesses a love for high speed technology and a flair for hilarity that belies her subtle wisdom. With her urging, Declan begins to escape the rigid strictures of society and seek his own self.
But Gizmo has a secret of her own, one that will ensnare everyone close to her. And like the scars in her flesh, her dark past cannot be hidden for long. A mysterious business. An underground operation. Bit by bit, the past is catching up to them. And it wants Gizmo back.

"I'm allergic to bullshit." ♧♣♧♣♧♣♧♣♧♣♧ Maya Scoren is unique. But she's not the only one, there are nine others supposed to be besides her; two of which never made it past their mother's womb and one who's incompatible. What makes them special, is also what makes them dangerous. Ripped from their normal, day-to-day,school life, family and friends with no warning, they find out who they are. And why they're alive. But fitting back into that normal life they missed so much is proving to be hard. Especially for Maya, who has a tendency to get herself in trouble and extraordinary situations ENTIRELY her fault. (She'd rather die than admit that of course) Old life brings the problem of boys, unwanted advances, homework, teachers and of course, a boyfriend with she had a rather uncharacteristic meet-up. Scott, Sed, Andy are her childhood friends all the way with her in this. Almost all the way. They didn't expect her to change or to come back at all and they are having a HARD time adjusting to the new Maya. She's dangerous, she's hot and she knows it. She has done a lot in the past two years that will catch up to her and stuff after that which refuses to stay hidden. Controlling CEOs, sensitive boyfriend, an obssessed boss is just the tip of the iceberg. And I'm not even touching the problems at her school. Will all this unwanted attention put her in trouble? Author's note: this was my first story ever. It has no proper plot or story but it's fun to read! Also, lots of typos. And grammar mistakes. Tons of them. Tons. You have been warned.

▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ WARNING!!: this is a very slow burn with some teasing moments. After sneaking out to a party, 17-year-old Annabelle ends up stranded at a dark, abandoned gas station, trying to shake off the effects of her wild night. But the night takes a turn when the world around her begins to unravel-power cuts, a strange, eerie silence, and vicious creatures lurking in the shadows. She's not just dealing with a bad decision anymore-she's fighting for her life. Then there's Tom Kaulitz. He's tall, dangerous, and knows exactly how to survive when everything goes to hell. Cold, stubborn, and calculating, Tom has his own reasons for not getting close to anyone, especially not Annabelle. But as the night grows darker and the dangers closer, they're forced to rely on each other to escape the chaos. Tom tries to ignore the spark between them, but the harder he tries, the more intense it becomes. He won't let himself care, but the pull is undeniable. Tom's past is a tangled mess of secrets and a bitter truth: his father-an eccentric scientist-overheard a conversation about the world ending in a lab, and he tried to warn everyone. No one listened. Now, Tom is left to piece together his father's cryptic notes, navigating a world crumbling around him. With the creatures closing in and the bunker they're headed to no guarantee of safety, Tom's hardened exterior begins to crack as he battles not only the monsters hunting them but his own emotions. But he can't afford to let his guard down, not when the stakes are this high. As the night pushes them further into the unknown, Annabelle and Tom have to decide-can they survive together? Or will the tension between them, and the truth about Tom's father, tear them apart before they even have a chance? In this heart-pounding thriller, trust is a dangerous game, and survival might just depend on who you're willing to risk everything for.Concluída

Touch: Awakening
The first touch burns. The second will change her life. In the future, humans will never see each other face to face. Technology will facilitate all interactions, from emails to spoken conversations to a hike up a tree-lined mountain. They'll rely on machines to provide them with their basic needs and favorite indulgences, and they'll never know another person's touch. This is the world Alexis is born into. A grad student slated to become impregnated in a few months' time, Lexi's been struggling with her wild and reckless thoughts. Why aren't they allowed to question the Government's decisions? What if her friend, Parker, is right, and the pill regimen they're on deadens their sense of touch? And why does her heart stop and her chest squeeze whenever she's around Drew? Drew's a dangerous man. He asks the questions she's afraid to voice and makes her think. Makes her wonder. Makes her yearn. He promises to help her find the answers, the two of them fumbling toward something they don't understand. The first touch is painful, the second one less so. Each one awakens feelings Lexi has no words for, until she craves Drew like an addict needing a fix. As they discover what the Government has kept from them all their lives, they fight to find a way to have it all - even as it threatens to destroy them forever. **** Later chapters contain situations intended for a mature audience. Consider yourself warned :)Concluída
Lost Davis
Lost Davis In a future where every identity is tracked, recorded, and owned... he vanished. Davis Zain Hariz, a contract enforcer in a blockchain-governed world, disappears without a trace. Only a last known location: Yangsu River District, Bench 42-and silence. The system calls it suicide. Sofia Zahra Lee calls it unfinished. When Davis's final message reaches her weeks too late, Sofia finds herself torn between heartbreak and suspicion. What begins as a quiet search for closure slowly unravels a deeper truth: hidden contracts, synthetic cults, and a digital system that punishes those who slip out of line. As Sofia digs further, joined by a man with secrets of his own, she begins to uncover a world built on illusion-and the ghost of a man who might still be trying to reach her. What really happened to Davis? And what happens when love refuses to be erased? Copyright © 2025 by Minsy Mayo. All rights reserved.

Paper
What do you get when you throw a dozen flying pieces of paper, a writer, a cyborg, a bookish tsundere, a steampunky clockmaker, a photographer, and a gay guy on a bicycle together? BOOM you get a story. These 6 boys happen to cross paths one rainy afternoon when one of them has their writing blown out of their hands and all across the street in front of a coffee shop. They gradually begin to learn more about one another while they wait for a bad storm to pass and experience a rather nerve-wracking event in the process. Later in the week, Ace, the cyborg hacker (and one hell of a chess player) receives an email from an old friend and learns that a virus is being spread rapidly throughout the nation that's heavily reliant on technology. The government and almost everything that's based on technology is being corrupted and there's only one facility that can put a stop to it before everything goes up in flames. The group is called upon to assist in the process since they each have their own unique abilities to put to use. No one knows if they'll be able to get rid of the virus in time or if they'll die trying. Who knew a few pieces of paper could do so much to 6 random strangers.Concluída
