They are placed here, now, as record.

Struck by Lightning is an anthology featuring works that span several years of my life. Some are new and fresh, some I wrote or first conceived of several years ago. Most stories will feature elements of cosmic horror while some stay a little more grounded. Though all will delve into elements of the fantastical, mystical or scary. Some of the stories are inspired by other works, mostly video games like Rimworld or Escape from Tarkov and convey my love and admiration for them. Some stand on their own two feet completely or derive inspiration from some other long gone place. I hope you enjoy. This work will be updated whenever I get around to finishing another story. A large thank you to https://ndsvkwac.tumblr.com/ for letting me use their rendition of the Lichtenberg figure for the cover.

|CLAXTON SPINOFF SERIES · SEASON 1| Tracey Freeburg is a prince, said to inherit the claxton throne of Atlantica, who grew up under the watchful eyes of Merlin the Great. Now that he is twenty years old, his adoptive parents think it is time for him to start college. Therefore, they enroll him in the College of Charleston. If Tracey is going to live on land, he needs to learn to live like humans. Tracey, who has very bad memories of his time at human school during his adventures with Makenna Delling, is hesitant, but he goes ahead and gives the College of Charleston a chance. He runs the risk of popping a merman tail every time he gets wet, but that doesn't stop him. While in college, Tracey meets a variety of new characters who are trying to find their place in the world just like him: a young lady named Candice Hope who has a terrifying crush on him, her sidekick Luna Cora, his questionable roommate Aiden Macon, whom Tracey doesn't know is a friend or another Peter Nelson, and the cheerful, new Music Appreciation professor, Dr. Lincoln. Blending in at human school is hard enough, but trying to be a prince at the same time is even harder. Tracey's got his fins in a bunch, and things become extra complicated when the Octopus Man and Ocean try to pull him back to Atlantica, causing weird things to happen with his claxton powers. Tracey is only growing stronger, and he will continue to do so if no one steps up to stop him from learning who he truly is, which is what the Octopus Man wants most.
