This is not a story, but a recent string of thoughts on one of my trips while taking a break from the routine I live in. It was just the kind of break I needed and it gave me more than what I was asking for. As soon as the flight breezed past on the runway and took off, the thoughts began to flow even faster. This trip was not just about excitement or bucket lists, it was more about experience and it was more about how we forget to live while making a living. And I started to feel it all, right from the first step of it..

In the Valley
I knew somewhere out there, my parents were worried sick. Somewhere out there, my friends wondered about me. I knew that a world like this wouldn't last forever, and I had to make it last. But I could always retell it.Complete
The Hidden Worlds
I was waiting for my dad when my life changed. Not in any way like a fairy tale with magic wands or going through a rabbit hole like kids in the books do. More like I found it and wished my father came back to clean up his own problem instead of risking my life for this. I can only hope that I will make it out alive.
Scattered Dreams & Dragonflies
Our minds are an enigma: On this road we call life, we learn many things. Experiences, chosen by many, and yet lived uniquely through each of our own eyes. These experiences mold us subtly and steadily. Over time, we mature into the beings we are today. Whether they have been for good or for bad, these experiences are an undeniable part of us as we live and breathe. Those experiences, those past blessings, those past mistakes lead us to learn more about the world. We learn to interpret nature and the many physical experiences we have day by day, around others who are the protagonists of their own stories. We also learn, however, more about ourselves-our strengths, our weaknesses. Our mind slowly traverses the world in an attempt to learn more about it; such is the voyage of the mind into itself. With this book, Scattered Dreams & Dragonflies, I attempt to delve deep into those tiny bits and fragments our mind recreates when we are at rest-our dreams. I believe our dreams are of high value, as the mind, when we are conscious, constantly restrains itself, adjusting to our maturity and moral compass. By this metric, we are then tied to the constraints of mundane existence; thus, our awareness keeps us tamed and under control. When we sleep, I believe our minds let loose, freeing all our tension, all our wants, all our undeniable truths, failures, and pains. Just like AI, it creates something out of everything we are. Everything we strive to hide from reality, everything we only wish could be possible, everything we feel is impossible-all of it has its space in our minds. As we sleep, those chains are lifted, and we become our most authentic selves.Complete
New Normal
I learnt the hard way that wanting to be normal is just wishful thinking. More specifically when I found out who my dad really was. Then again, having a child while I was still a kid myself already sealed the deal on being anything but normal. But I was happy, for a moment. Until I was introduced to an entirely new world or worlds that I wish I wasnt apart of but now its impossible to avoid.
Hackers
I've lived a long life, well... it seems long anyway. There are so many stories about future Dystopian worlds but they never tell you about the people in the back, in the shadows. Well, it so happens I'm one of those people. I'm not saying my life is better or more interesting but I guess it could be worse...Complete
The Reck
Hello. My name is Thomas. I started this book when I was 14 years old. In 2024, I am 16 years old, amd still working on it. I just thought of a theme and just started writing. This book will seem like it was all true, but it isn't. I am in foster care. I wish this story was true. But it is not anything that happened in real life. All I know is that I really wish it was true. I hope everyone enjoys it.Complete
