Down Under
|WATTYS 2022 WINNER - HORROR| Shawn, a convicted criminal, never thought she'd see the sun again, let alone call another star system her home. When she's offered an out from her prison sentence, she embarks on a dangerous interstellar expedition along with 18 of Earth's most intelligent criminals. Their task is to set up a base on a supposedly habitable planet and prepare it for colonization. Although the planet has liquid water and a breathable atmosphere, it is believed to host only microbial life. However, upon arriving, Shawn and the rest of the colonists learn that assumption was grossly incorrect. In a brutal attack from rampaging wildlife, everyone but Shawn and four other colonists are killed. The five survivors retreat to the cavernous network beneath the ground seeking safety, but they soon come to a terrible discovery. These caves aren't ordinary caves, and they are no safer down under than they were on the surface. [][][] This was originally my entry for the 2021 Open Novella Contest, and it received an honorable mention! It has now been expanded into a full length novel. I used prompt number 53: "When wildlife starts rampaging, all the humans are forced underground. However, they come to a terrible discovery that being underground is no safer than being on the surface."Complete

Could this strange duality of free will and fate be challenged? If so, what would it take? How far are you willing to go to change your dark fate? Is the risk of erasing the universe from existence worth your brighter future?Complete
Wicked Game → Wastelands Prequel
❝People can only take so much until they rebel back.❞ Humanity was on the brink of extinction. First came the solar flares. Then, the fires. The fear. The famine. What came after, was almost unimaginable. A virus. A virus that attacked the brain. The Flare, they called it. And then, came WCKD. Their goal was simple; find a cure to the virus that was sweeping its way over the world, driving many to insanity. Their method to finding it, though, was different; take hundreds of immunes and those not, then throw them into harsh environments. Wipe their memories, throw them into a Maze and study their brain patterns. Thomas, Teresa and Adeline are on the other side of the observation screens. On the other side of the experiment. They weren't allowed to talk to the subjects. Weren't allowed to form any friendships with them. That was a strict rule. But, defying WICKED's rules, Adeline suddenly becomes incredibly close to one boy, who has taken an interest in her. And this closeness, blooms into feelings between them. But, WCKD had already taken so much from them, it's no surprise they would take this away from her, too. | A series of ten short stories, ranging over the six years before Wastelands began, before the events of the Maze Runner film trilogy. Loosely follows the Maze Runner Origins comic. |Complete

Queen of The Maze
In the year 2064, the world was struck by a deadly virus called The Flare. A company called WCKD (world crisis killzone department) developed a program recruiting the younger generations to find a cure. In the year 2069, WCKD is exposed. And they don't like that much. So they use a 'new method' to 'help' find a cure. But little do they know, that the kids are the cure. Will the world and the children survive? What is WCKD hiding? Quick thing- I don't go too in-depth about the characters because I want your mind to imagine them in any way you want x And also I read the books when I was younger and I don't remember them as well as I do the movies, so I'm really sorry if it's more based on them and I get things wrong xComplete
