Indie Stories

What starts as a spontaneous family road trip soon turns into a journey of unsettling revelations. In Omaha, a young girl begins to peel back the layers of her family's carefully constructed reality as they drive across the American heartland. Starring John Magaro, this poignant drama explores the weight of secrets, the fragility of childhood trust, and the truths we hide behind the steering wheel. Not every trip is about the destination; some are about what you're running from.

Undesirables unfolds in a fractured reality where existence itself is governed by unseen laws, creators, and contradictions. The world is shaped by The Ananta--a domain that claims balance yet thrives on exclusion. Those who do not conform to its design are marked as Undesirables, beings stripped of worth, purpose, and voice. At the heart of the story is Joar, a boy burdened by an unnatural calm and an unwanted consciousness that separates him from others. He neither rebels nor submits; he observes. As reality around him fractures--floating lands, collapsing truths, and distorted time--Joar begins to realize that emotion, choice, and identity are not flaws, but threats to a system built on control. Alongside him move figures bound by fate and contradiction: a child hiding power behind innocence, warriors shaped by regret, watchers who claim neutrality, and creators who fear what they cannot predict. Each carries a different truth, yet all are drawn toward an inevitable convergence where loyalty, belief, and morality are tested. A shadow looms over the cosmos--a presence that does not rule through force, but through understanding human weakness. Its smile is not cruel, but knowing. As Joar's journey deepens, the line between creator and creation, good and evil, sacrifice and manipulation begins to dissolve. What emerges is not a tale of heroism, but of choice, not of destiny, but of refusal. Undesirables is a mythic science-fantasy epic about isolation, consciousness, and the quiet rebellion of becoming human in a universe that demands obedience. It asks a singular question: What happens when those who are deemed unnecessary refuse to disappear?

Do your past mistakes define you? After being left behind in the rapture, Lara Lessu begins to travel the post-societal collapse world filled with those not worthy enough of being taken to the paradise. Loneliness is everywhere, but to Lara's luck, she is not alone with Namu Pala and her cat, Neppy, accompanying her in the journey. Pond, Pillage, and Unreal arc have been weekly releases. Going forward, each arc will be released in a bulk every some months. The story in total will have nine arcs. ATTENTION! If you didn't pay attention to the tag last time, the story has been marked mature as the story contains mature themes related to mental health that could push the story to be 'mature' by Wattpad's standards, but I would say it's fine for a 16+ person to read it. Started: 26th of April, 2024 Ended: ??? Special thanks to https://www.wattpad.com/user/SmugMemph for contributions to the story! And special thanks to @tatsudraws.bsky.social for the story visual in chapter 82!

Nothing stays simple after that. Kid falls fast-chasing love in every woman he meets, believing each one might be the answer. But the road is a jealous mistress.

Set after Episode 8, written before episode 9. In the hollow remains of the circus, the lover without a heart bid farewell to his beloved home. The players that danced the circus halls were the closest he ever had to a family. The closest thing he ever felt to love. But family can wound you in wonderful ways. Upon his departure, he took some of his home with him. The walls caved in on themselves, and the shiny circus grounds rumbled and shook until they couldn't hold themselves up. The lights flickered and burnt out without the warmth of his presence to light them. The lover had been broken and singed by the thing he loved most. He had bled and bent every which way for the thrill of his feelings to be reciprocated. And in the end, the humans had won. He had no heart, and yet he yearned to love. This isn't your story. An error has occurred. Rebooting. Restoration completed. In the hollow remains of the circus, the cast huddled together in a pitiful crowd as they watched the world around them cave in on itself. What once was a kaleidoscopic prison of pixilated hell had been reduced to a greyscale void, crumbling to ash. With Caine gone and their composures fragile, they try their best to start over and turn the circus into something they only dreamed it would be. But as long as something can die, it can very well be brought back. With the exit out of sight and the acceptance of staying heavy in their minds, the cast console eachother with heavy hearts. But the circus was created by a loving mind. It knows what has been taken from it, and it is going to take it back. ~ All rights go to Gooseworx and Glitch Productions for the ownership and creation of the Digital Circus. This fic was started before the release of episode nine, taking place directly after episode eight. The episode 9 trailer has just released, so there may be dialogue added into this book. There may also be Funnybunny and Abstragedy but it's up to you if you find it platonic or romantic.
