Just nine more hours till the rest of AZRA is completely online here on this site. It's been a journey, starting from when I was still in University struggling to get my thesis done due to procastination that led me to create a short story that introduces the entity itself to creating a psychological nightmare ride set in 1970s London. But I wasn't here to create a psychological horror story filled with suspense, tension and gore, I wanted to use this to tell a human story for the characters that are going to be going through a lot of hell throughout the entire story. 
          
          Why did I choose Valentines Day for the release? Originally it was supposed to be on Mother's Day but as time went on, I understood that with where the story is, I had to release it sooner than later and since the story does have romance as well, I felt I should release it on Valentines Day.
          Another reason is that in that day, there are people who are either going through heartbreak, stress, exhaustion, the struggles of everyday life or you just been single for your whole life and that you need something to fill the void. While the story is fun and filled with heartwarming moments, it is very dark, grim and also uncomfortable and shocking at times but it's one you should look into and give it a chance as it might relate to any issues you're all going through and it might give you the fun and adrenaline to keep your hearts racing and your mind open.
          
          Once the story goes completely online, give this story a shot, give it a read, tell me what you think, share your praises and worries and most of all...
          HAVE FUN! Because in a world filled with sadness and destruction, there is always hope, love and happiness. Please keep those words to your heart as you read this message cause even if reading my story means a lot to me, I want you all to read this and tell yourself that you're lucky and to always be kind.

Two more days left! I can't believe it, AZRA is almost online and I gotta say, I'm proud of it. Thus I reveal a true story that has heavily inspired the lead characters. The story is semi-autobiographical of my parents. Amy is heavily inspired by my mom while the male lead Henry is heavily inspired by my dad. Here's the true story that inspired Henry and Amy.
          
          My dad was raised in a tough environment due to the poverty they're going through so he spent his life studying hard, working hard and helping his family yet it made it hard for him to make some friends because he struggles to speak to people, his social skills weren't the best but he was a hell of a basketball player as well as a womanizer.
          My mom was raised in a big family with loads of sisters and a couple of brothers and yet regardless of how healthily raised she was in, she still has to provide for herself, her older sisters, especially her mom (my grandma) were really strict on her, her closest sibling was her twin sister and her father was the most influential person in her life and a person who I wished I could see and talk to right now. 
          Like how Amy and Henry will first meet in the story, my parents met while studying in university, different course and in real time, it took my dad months to finally make her his girlfriend as she was at the time dating some random lad. In the end, she finally dates him in where they would remain happily together for the rest of their lives. 
          Then comes one true fact that has happened. The moment I was born, we went through severe poverty, the house they brought was broken in by thieves and my parents struggled. Months later, my mom got an opportunity, to work as a nurse in the UK. She was forced to leave me and my dad so that she can provide for all of us but after I turned 2, my dad chose to bring me and himself to the UK so that I won't have a mom who is absent in my life.

One week left till the rest of AZRA's story goes online on Wattpad, in here and my God, I'm so not feeling well today writing this message but I'll push through.
          
          I already mentioned that AZRA originally began as a short story The Procastinator set in modern times unlike AZRA which is set in the mid 1970s. Those two figures are actually the same but when trying to conceive and develop the antagonist, it felt like I'm playing with fire, causing me to question myself, my beliefs because writing the characters is like living through their lives. The Good and the Bad.
          
          With the antagonist, I spent almost two years conceiving and developing the character and as time grew on, the character too started forming in my head in a dark twisted manner. I knew what I wanted the antagonist to look like and when its appearance is revealed, it's not going to be beautiful or handsome (if anyone thinks of that, you're weird), its true appearance is ugly, deformed and hideous to look at, it'll make you either want to feel sympathy for it, disgust or just shock and horror. This leads me to wanting to reveal how the antagonist actually feels throughout the story.
          It's constantly suffering, the way it breathes like it constantly needs oxygen, its lungs were heavily affected leading to times when it coughs blood and around its body, through its sleeves, its constantly breathing. How to make my antagonist different from other villains? The answer was to show that it's always going through suffering, the suffering is eternal and when it's someone else, wearing someone's skin, it's the only thing that brings it relief but it never lasts long.
          The pain was inspired by my pain from the past and present and I thought the best way to represent that is through the title character.
          
          Well that's all I can say...
          AZRA releases on February 14
          The prologue and the first two chapters are available online to read now.
          
          https://www.wattpad.com/story/397086153-azra

The countdown is on. Today is February 1 which means starting today, we got only 13 more days left till AZRA goes online on Wattpad. 
          
          The journey of writing AZRA was (like the stories I've written) years in the making and even if I want people to read it, I also plan on reading it myself after making some edits on the story. The only thing I didn't edit out was the 18 rated stuff such as the gore and sexual content. Originally I thought of doing it but the things I went through before, during the writing of the story and after it was done, I decided to keep it. People would ask me why I didn't edit out the 18 rated stuff and here are my reasons:
          One I wanted to capture the magic of the 1970s/80s slasher horror movies I watched when I was a child.
          Two, to show that the violence shown doesn't hold back cause that's what the antagonist does to its victims, including what it does to the main characters.
          Here comes one more reason, to up the tension further and probably leave you readers even more scared of what's to come.
          For why I didn't edit out the sexual content, it's best you read the story as the final act of the chapter will go further into this theme in a more nightmarish, disturbing manner.
          
          But the story is not always dark, it does have its lighter moments to give you readers to relax but is it more of a way to relax. Here's something I should tell you, it's like you meet a handsome or beautiful man or woman who is perfect in many ways, no red flags, is a gentleman and loves you for who you are but eventually, the cracks begin to show where the partner is actually revealed to be more of a toxic, abusive manipulator who makes your life miserable. That's how I can describe how AZRA's written, a story you would fall in love with only for its true colours to be revealed.
          
          AZRA releases on February 14.
          Prologue and first two chapters are now online.

There's one more main character I want to introduce. With who inspired my characters, there are so many people, my friends, my mom, my dad, my sister, maybe a person who I used to be friends with, maybe a person who I hated or they hated me. But there are times some characters were inspired by me. 
          Amy was inspired by my mom, Henry was inspired by my dad during both of their younger years. A part of Skid's personality was inspired by me but his true inspiration was a combination of all the people I know while the mysterious figure, this thing is inspired by me, the sadness, the anger, the loneliness, the negativity and the envy. These are who my main characters were inspired from but there's one more I want to introduce.
          
          Meet Lily, a pretty British white lady who is Rose's roommate the moment Rose steps into her dorm and later on throughout the story, her close friend. She's an energetic, outgoing woman who can make people laugh, smile, someone who will be there for you but deep down, she has a dark past that is mentioned at first in the early chapters but as the story goes on, us readers will learn even more about her and her past is something that to me makes her tragic. Her past is another secret we will be going through and one the mysterious figure will use to make her suffer. 
          
          The moment Lily gets involved in what Amy is going through, her sanity and mind will be affected in worst ways, worst than what she has already been through.
          
          And that is all the main characters I have introduced to you all and we now only have 20 days left till the rest of the story is released.
          
          February 14 is the release date for my new psychological nightmare.
          
          https://www.wattpad.com/story/397086153-azra

You met this mysterious figure on the prologue and then by the first two chapters, we meet Amy for the first time, why she wants to go to London and eventually, her journey begins in what it first feels like happiness and joy. But who does she meet along in her journey?
          
          Let's start off with a character with a stupid ridiculous name:
          Skid
          
          Yep his name's Skid, a young Jehovah Witness living in London with his family, along with others in the congregation. His story is that while he's devoted and loyal to his religion, his religion is also the subject of bullying and prejudice. It's been ongoing for years and whenever he goes out in his suit, his Bible and leaflets regarding his Lord Jehovah, the first thing he gets is people making fun of him, in the past, they were able to hurt him at one point. Regardless of all the bullying and abuse he sustains, he continues keeping his faith strong.
          When he meets Amy, a close friendship forms between the two of them but the moment Amy becomes involved with the mysterious figure, Skid too gets involved but unlike the other characters who become tormented by the figure, Skid himself remains strong, even with the figure tormenting him worst than the people who bullied him and hurt him. 
          By remaining strong, he'll be able to learn more about the figure. So like us as readers, we'll also be going through Skid's chapters as he tries to learn who this mysterious figure is and most of all, how to stop it before the chaos turns worst. 
          
          By doing so, his sanity and faith is put to the test the more him and us readers uncover the truth and regarding the truth, it's one no one would want to think of.
          
          The prologue and first two chapters are online now.
          The rest of AZRA releases on February 14 2026
          
          https://www.wattpad.com/story/397086153-azra

The first preview impression for AZRA is out with the prologue and its first two chapters now available and before I head into what I want to talk about, I want to give a huge shoutout to my friend from Brazil not just by reading this story to support me but for also being there for me, supporting me whenever I needed it and for bringing me smiles even if we're online and far away.
          
          This one is a summarise teaser into what's to come now so mild spoilers ahead for anyone who has not read the prologue and first two chapters.
          
          Based on the title, it's obvious but in Chapter 1, we're introduced to Amy, along with her parents, grandfather and a bunch of siblings enough to drive me mad and by Chapter 2 reaches its end, she has arrived to London. 
          So what's to come next? The first few days will be nothing but joy and prosperity while also introducing the other two main characters who will be revealed in a couple of days. 
          
          Just when Amy is finally living the life in an entirely new city, then comes this mysterious figure who murders its victims in graphic, gory ways but that all changes when it meets Amy and the moment it sees her...
          ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE!
          
          AZRA is a psychological horror thriller where you can expect scares, suspense before it all ends into a nightmarish moment that'll make you want to take a break from continuing on. Other than that, it's full of love, secrets and mysteries that the characters and most of all, YOU must solve. 
          You and the characters will spend the story trying to figure out who the mysterious figure is because while the story does a tell don't, the thing is, whatever's said, it's unreliable until the third act where the mystery regarding the figure is finally revealed. Not just that, you will also be going through the main character's backstories, as well as their secrets.
          
          The prologue and the first two chapters are now online.
          The rest of AZRA will be online on February 14 2025

First day of 2026 is done, already on the second day and gotta say, the weather has already got me, the cold, the snow, giving me bad nose but being outside made me thought of something, one that might give your phones a bit of a ring if you got Wattpad on your phone. 
          Right now, I'm still currently writing my next story but I hope to get it done this month.
          
          Regarding AZRA, originally the release date was supposed to be March 15 2026 but after some thinking, mental breakdowns and something that has happened last month that has made me go through guilt and regret, for the first time, I feel happy again, back to where I am and not only that, I understood that my family and friends who brought me up and empowered me are are important.
          
          March 15 this year is Mother's Day and I feel I rather spend time with my mum than release this psychological horror story...
          
          Where the hell am I going with this, AZRA will have a new release date.
          February 14 2026, Valentines Day.
          
          Why that date? Because I'm single which means I'm free to bring AZRA to you guys earlier and most of all, due to promoting it myself since summer, I just thought it's better to get it out there.
          
          And not only that, even though AZRA will fully release on February 14 2026, today, the prologue and the first two chapters of AZRA are now online and available to read to give you guys a first impression on my story, see what you think and most of all, make it more suspenseful and scary hehehe. 
          
          Here, I said it, the prologue and the first two chapters of AZRA are now available to read while the remaining chapters will be online on February 14 2026.
          
          WARNING - Even though it's only the prologue and the first two chapters, it will contain sex, cursing and strong violence, for anyone that's able to finish those three, I consider you brave.

What fascinates me about this world is how despite the pain, the suffering and the madness that drives throughout this planet everyone calls, Earth, there's still happiness.
          Right now I'm still in my slumber watching you all, seeing everyone come together for a special day you call... 
          Christmas...
          A jolly holiday, not for everyone to come together and give each other presents, but to celebrate a special someone...
          GOD...
          Oh what a name...
          What I respect is how you all remain cheerful during this time of the day while everyone else, they continue doing things people would consider...
          Unforgivable...
          You still got three more months until I finally come out of my slumber, because once I come out, maybe you might be safe, maybe you wouldn't. For people asking what happens to people who feel they're not safe, I won't tell, that's something you have to find out once I free myself in 1976.
          But I'll leave you all alone for now. What I could say is, have your fun as it's not going to last long...
          
          AZRA, a new dark psychological nightmare.
          All Chapters will be online on March 15 2026.
          
          And most of all, Merry Christmas to you all and have a very happy festive day :)

I've written so many stories, most of them dark psychological thrillers enough to make people feel happy, sad, heartbroken, scared, uncomfortable, shocked and disturb. Writing these things should have made people wonder if I'm okay because it'll make them say, it doesn't sound like me. That's storytelling, everyone has their own way of telling their stories, everyone has their own imagination or they tell stories so that they can express themselves.
          
          Regarding writing the story, I thought LIGHT and MASTERMIND were challenging, AZRA was the first real proper challenge I ever had due to its dark grounded themes, loss of a loved one and religious prejudice, the scary horror moments and the graphic violence. 
          Originally I thought of taming it down but after being with a family member who I used to adore but now has toxic traits, as well as being with people, Christians who I thought were kind, friendly people until they slowly showed their true colours when they started treating me like nothing, I thought they might be good friends but they were just like everyone else, only caring about themselves, their reputation, I still remember when I told them I can't be with them as I wanted to spend time with my little sister, one acted rude and annoyed, that hurt me. And not only that, I was still recovering from the end of a friendship. These factors are why AZRA is the darkest psychological horror story I ever wrote and tbh, there were times I wouldn't write for weeks or a month due to its themes. But writing AZRA helped me let out my pain, anger and sadness so that I can push through, move on and to remind myself to continue living on. By the end of AZRA, reading it after writing, gotta say, despite feeling pushed back by own writing, I actually felt proud cause as the months go by, I still feel tired at times but I feel much better, I'm very happy and now I'm back to looking at life in a positive way and no one's going to stop me.
