A free-verse narrative poem done in a short story manner.
"A war-torn, revolution-disgraced opera house turned slum hovel receives a last standing ovation from a once famous actor, before his death."
This piece was inspired by the concept of revolutions, and as such, it mainly focused on the negative aspect of the resulting ripple effect. Examples include the French, and Russian Revolutions, the Cultural Revolution, as well the Meiji Period and Restoration.

The Kingdom Thief
You know that saying that goes like 'things don't always work out the way you planned'? Well I know that saying very well. It is the only thing that can explain what is happening and why my whole world has been flipped upside down. I'm part of the revolution, I've always been. The king of our little land called Terrian is oppressive and crooked, making the rich richer and the poor poorer. Although he doesn't like using the word 'poor'. People like me are referred to as the 'unfortunate'. As if luck had anything to do with our situation. So how did I get here? How did I go from being the most wanted criminal in Terrian and supporting Jack in his effort to kill the royal family to a guest in that same exact royal family's castle? The only answer I can find is the young prince who, despite his horrible father, gives me hope. Hope for a better life for the unfortunate. Hope for a better ruler. Hope, a thing I barely even remember feeling before. But I can feel as well as see the revolution stirring in the streets right outside the castle. A revolution I helped create. A revolution that was planning on killing the only thing I had faith in anymore. I couldn't let that happen. So let me tell you the story about how I, the notorious Kingdom Thief, got stuck in the middle of this war.Complete

Tesseract Diaries
This is my first attempt in writing a story, so don't judge too harshly pls. β»οΈ In a sterile, lifeless world ruled by the Administration-mechanical entities driven by cold logic-a single anomaly disrupts their perfect system. A human mind, fragmented and glitch-like, persists in defiance of their relentless scrutiny. Trapped within a simulated reality, where nothing is truly real, the protagonist wrestles with memories that might be fabricated, emotions that evade categorization, and the existential weight of being a question in a world that demands answers.

Les dernières heures du Premier Imprimeur de la Liberté Nationale
As Momoro, a French revolutionary who likes to call himself the First Printer of National Liberty, is about to die, he thinks about the actions he did for the revolution, his life with Sophie. Momoro's life guillotined as a member of the exaggerated revolutionaries, alongside HΓ©bert, Ronsin, Vincent and others according to my interpretation with the information I have that I sometimes mix with fiction. Warning: Although the black legend of the French Revolution is too often present The French Revolution and their historical figures do not belong to me any more than history but this story does . Let's not forget that there were executions and misdeeds on the part of the revolutionaries (although the violence on the other side was also ignored) there is also the death of Jacques Roux that I quickly mention as a suicide as he actually did. So sensitive souls move on.Complete
