~ The Dreaming: Old Shalon's Story ~   
It's the year 2067, and I am living in the shattered remains of Old Vancouver -- after the Cascadia quake, after WW3, after it all ended. I've been surviving all these years through the help of a young boy named Michael, a wildling, an orphan, one of the Forgotten. He's been with me since he was a little one, but now he's all grown up. This morning he told me he's going to leave Old Vancouver. He wants me to come with him... But that's ridiculous! How can I do that? I'm too old for those kinds of shenanigans....

The Dreaming is a novel series spanning over 200 years and designed to be read in ANY order YOU choose. Start with any of these that interest you: 

- 2257: Imorah's Story --> Imorah has lived her entire life underground in The Shelter, with a religious cult called The Family. She's never seen the sky or breathed fresh air and The Family is the only thing she's ever known. One day Imorah's Grandmother disappears. They say it was a suicide, but Imorah knows better. The only clue Imorah has is the book that her Grandmother left behind -- a book that Imorah can't even read.  

- 2257: Liran's Story follows a young man who struggles to survive in the deserts of what is left of North America. One day he finds an old technological relic -- a robot head that still functions -- and Liran is thrust into a dangerous web of secrets and lies. 

- 2063: Old Shalon's Story --> this is Old Shalon's Story, please read story blurb above. 

COMING SOON. Starting sometime late in 2015, I will post the last installment of The Dreaming, where these five narratives will collide. 

Five lives bound together by an ancient book whose language has long died out, in a time and place where books are not only taboo, but could actually get you killed. The Dreaming: a place where time has no meaning, and everything is connected.

The Anchor Of Time  by motiffk
104 parts Ongoing Mature
A tale where destiny, dreams, and storytelling collide. The Anchor of Time is a deeply moving story of love, loss, and the courage to chase dreams. It follows Haroon, a young man shaped by tragedy yet strengthened by quiet resilience. Since childhood, he has found refuge in storytelling-building worlds with his pen long before the real world offered him a place to stand. Encouraged by his closest friends, Haroon sets out to pursue writing. But his journey is guided by a single missing piece from his past: Saina Aunty, the woman who once protected his childhood and vanished from his life for years. Determined to find her, Haroon and his friends embark on a heartfelt journey to Denmark, leading to an emotional reunion that changes them forever. Just as Haroon's first novel reaches readers, fate opens an extraordinary door-a personal letter from Ray Bradbury, inviting him to America. Suddenly standing among literary legends, Haroon must choose between the world he always dreamed of and the village that shaped his soul. This crossroads forces him to confront ambition, identity, and the sacrifices behind every dream. Amid this turning point, Haroon discovers a new creative calling: manga storytelling. Drawing from his own struggles, he creates The Last Anomaly, a gripping saga set in a world ruled by supernatural abilities. Its hero, Kael Vardhan, is the only one born powerless in a society where strength defines worth. Mocked and underestimated, Kael refuses to accept the fate handed to him. With nothing but intellect, strategy, and unbreakable will, he carves a path that challenges the very foundation of his world. Blending emotional realism with epic imagination, The Anchor of Time and its embedded manga universe The Last Anomaly form a powerful narrative about resilience, identity, and the stories we build to survive. A moving novel. A visionary manga. A journey of a boy who became a storyteller-and changed his own destiny.

Summary: You always dreamed of becoming a successful fashion designer, sharing your creations with the world and bringing honor to your father. But with his severe illness and mounting expenses weighing solely on your shoulders, your plans changed, forcing you to pursue an alternative route. An intriguing offer led you to the elderly Alex Burgess, who immediately employed you as a housemaid for excellent pay. Your compassionate nature and exceptional understanding, however, convinced him to offer you an additional task with doubled compensation: gaining the trust of Dream of the Endless, imprisoned in the family's basement for over a century. Despite being stunned upon discovering such an otherworldly being stripped of clothing and trapped in a cramped glass sphere, financial necessity for your father's care compelled your acceptance. As you spoke to this mysterious anthropomorphic personification who never uttered a word, you found yourself drawn into his eyes that seemingly encompassed the entire universe. An ineffable bond formed between you, separated only by a substantial transparent barrier. You couldn't have anticipated that what commenced as modest household job would ultimately transform your existence irrevocably. ✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧ I began writing and posting this ongoing story on AO3 in late 2022.
