Phantasmagoria Stories

Different short stories I came up with when I was bored.

Hotel on the Edge. A strange and sometimes terrifying place where Alex has found himself, revealing hidden facets of his character-even some extraordinary abilities inherited from his ancestors. No, Alex is no superhero, but he wears the title of "a pain in the ass"-bestowed upon him by his enemies-with pride. Gifted with analytical prowess and a knack for improvisation, Alex and his friends relentlessly disrupt the schemes of those who have taken over the Hotel. "A bishop capable of moving like a queen when enraged!"-as one rather unusual team member once described him. But the deeper Alex is drawn into this confrontation, the more acutely he realizes the sheer scale of the problem. Unraveling webs of intrigue and conspiracy-or sometimes simply cutting through them without mercy-he breaks the Rules of the Game, the threads of which stretch all the way to the highest levels. Stuck in the precarious position of both "a bug in an anthill" and a pawn in someone else's game, Alex does the only thing left-he changes the rules, stepping up to the next level. And when he finally finds his enemy's Achilles' heel, he dares to challenge forces far more powerful than he ever imagined. Like the first book in this series, this story masterfully balances philosophy and dark humor, a touch of romance and sharp sarcasm, adventure and intricate puzzles-all while keeping the reader on edge with its constant plot twists.

The third book in the gripping Hotel on the Edge series delivers a powerful crescendo of action, emotion, and revelation - a culmination you won't be able to put down. As Alex and his team dive deeper into the heart of the Game, the boundaries between reality and illusion blur. Entire worlds teeter on the edge of collapse as interdimensional battles erupt, alliances shift, and betrayal comes from the least expected places. The enemy hides not only behind masks but also within - in doubts, obsessions, and unspoken fears. Alongside tense tactical operations and cinematic clashes that test the limits of their endurance, personal relationships within the team are pushed to breaking points. Romantic tensions, wounded trust, and moral dilemmas become just as dangerous as any battlefield. Meanwhile, the team faces controversial scientific theories and philosophical paradoxes that challenge their very understanding of existence, consciousness, and free will. Told in a bold, cinematic style with moments of dark humor and raw humanity, this is more than just sci-fi - it's a journey into the unknown, where every door could open into salvation... or oblivion.

"I can't close my eyes to the things I never want to see" * * * * Wattpad Writing Battle 2015 This is my expanded/edited Audition entry.

A soon to be wife to the Emperor, Diabolus, named Ariella is suddenly taken by her servent, Elikai, on an adventure to break a curse that changes the perception of reality.

Phantasmagoria, is a story driven poetry book that breaks the fourth wall and speaks to whoever reads it, following the story of Hugo Carter Price, a bullied student suffering from depression who unlocked the ability to see reality through the Grim Reaper's eyes, speaking to the reader directly as he tells his own story. ___________ I see you and the pain you hide, where your heart and soul divide. I see fragments of what you were and this person who lives in a blur. Tell me reader, how long has it been? How long have you kept your words underneath your skin? The words you couldn't say, the colourful words now turn into grey. The words you couldn't share, the kind words that were meant to be there. Hugo Carter Price

Hotel on the Edge is the story of an ordinary man who finds himself in a world where reality and absurdity walk hand in hand. Alex, an accidental guest on the border between the familiar and the unknown, faces surreal challenges that transform him and everyone around him. By a twist of fate, Alex finds himself caught up in absurd yet unsettling events unfolding at the Hotel-a place where mysticism and sarcasm mask deeper, hidden secrets. At the Hotel, he meets Kate and Jane, who, like Alex, are able to sense the absurdity of their surroundings-unlike the other guests, for whom this environment seems perfectly normal. Soon, they realize that multiple mysterious factions are trying to use them in their struggle for control of the Hotel. Meanwhile, the Hotel itself and even its simplest objects turn out to be far more than they appear. Their attempt to unravel the secrets of the enigmatic Hotel takes Alex and his companions to parallel universes inhabited by strange and otherworldly beings. Here, every step feels like walking through a minefield-demanding careful analysis and planning, quick improvisation, or, at times, a dangerous game of Russian roulette. This story is a cocktail of humor, sarcasm, a dash of carefree mischief, and an unending quest for truth. An adventure awaits on the boundary between the ordinary and the fantastic, where laughter and fear are two sides of the same coin. Blending suspense, dark humor, and a hint of mysticism, Hotel on the Edge invites readers to join Alex on a journey where personal growth, friendship, and self-discovery meet the extraordinary. But in a world where the line between reality and imagination blurs, the biggest question remains - what is real, and what is just the Hotel's Game?

These are dreams. Analyze them, judge me, I don't care. These are dreams. They are not real or particularly logical, much like the collection title.
