Days (oneshots)
Random oneshots of little sections of the lives of different people living different lives and worlds/realities. Names mentioned here are all completely fictional. Some of these stories will be open-ended, so use your imagination on how it ends, or you can add on to them. A lot of the rituals and things that happen won't have much of an explanation (Sorry). They don't all end happily. That's all.Complete
Jenni (finished!)
This is one of my favorite stories that Im writing. It's mainly based off of the video game series called Dynasty Warriors. It takes place in ancient China. This story is about a girl who suffers loss, swears revenge, falls in love, gets hurt by the truth, and goes through an amazing adventure called life. Check it and lemme know what you think. Thanks! :)Complete
Incommensurable Kindness
A geneticist looking for the perfect solution, a biologist searching for the ultimate cure, a scholar pursuing the path of happiness. Three young lives with noble intentions who chose to follow the way of kindness for different reasons. Yet, kindness can take many forms. For some, kindness is found in the small, fleeting acts of goodness, a reminder of the pure, social nature of every precious human. For others, kindness is found in ensuring the best possible future for the incoming generations, even if it means crushing the present between the hands of progress. For the rarest of minds, however, kindness implies destruction, the sacrifice of everything for the sake of a brand new better world. Will they encounter change their mind? Will they accomplish their mission? Will they regret the choices they have made so far? Some believe that even the tiniest pebble thrown in the river of life can irreversibly shape the flow of existence in unpredictable ways, but can a ripple truly change the world?
