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.

Legend of Kataria (Draft Version)
Sometimes the world as we know it is not at all what it seems... The world of Griffion is out of control, submerged in a desperate war which it can never hope to win. Griffionites and Tapushians alike tire of the fighting and look to a long forgotten prophecy to end the conflict. A group of warriors, gifted with magical abilities, destined to end the fighting, a world long hidden, and a secret that might just destroy them all... Green Bush has never been anything but the nerdy geek his whole life, due to his smaller size, large glasses, and nerdy disposition. Orphaned since birth, he feels no deep connection to anyone and only cares for a handful of individuals. He certainly has no interest in the war or any sort of prophecy. But destiny has other plans and, when danger comes knocking, his life--and the lives of his friends--are put in jeopardy. Now, he will be forced to leave behind everything he's ever known, fulfill the prophecy, and become a hero the galaxy could never have predicted. The truth has been hidden for years, but not even the best of intentions can be kept from the light forever, and the only thing left to lose is everything. "...Free them from the hand of the wicked." ~Psalm 82:4 Theme song: "World Anthem" by Press Play PRIZES (because why not? Lol): ///3rd in the Star Gazing Awards 2020/// ///1st in the Chic Awards 2022//Complete
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.

Free Minds
A 5x Wattpad Featured Novel✨! Consider this: You make a life altering decision not too long ago that you reconsider everyday and as if that isn't enough torture, it has the nerve to violently dangle two other decisions before your eyes. Want to guess the first? Well, the first decision is a step in the right direction but with highly probable danger to you and colossal doom to everyone else. And the other? The other is the best way to play it safe...until definite danger to you and colossal doom to everyone else. This is what Beth has to face after what appears to be a memorable night for the school of Zavlon Academia, morphs into a nightmare etched in the minds of the whole student body. Obviously, it's not easy. Especially when she's not only supposed to save, but unite with the other lucky few who manage to escape the incident. The very people who either contributed to or ignored the treatment she received as the 'other' Zavolonian. Particularly the enigma of a boy she's particularly torn as to whether to like or detest, to trust or suspect. Whichever decision isn't going to change one thing though; the lurking evil that's cutting corners, coming for the ones who got away. Fast. Ready or not.

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 :)Complete

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.Complete
