Dystopian

When Hearts Collide.
The following morning brought an unusual chill to the seaside air. Mist hovered over the waves, softening the horizon. With a piping hot cup of tea in her hands, Ava stood at the railing of her porch. She watched as the fog slowly peeled away, revealing the sleepy outlines of fishing boats bobbing in the distance.

When Hearts Collide.
The following morning, sunlight poured into the windows of Ava’s cottage, soft and golden, drying away the last trace of the storm. Tangled in sheets that had a faint scent of the sea and lavender, she slowly opened her eyes. There was a stillness to the air, the kind that only came after a night of rain—like the world had pressed a reset button.

When Hearts Collide.
The Marlowe Bay Summer Festival was a mosaic of light and sound that filled the heart of the sleepy town with vibrant energy. Lanterns dangled above the streets, glowing like fireflies as dusk fell. Laughter and the music of a local folk band playing on a temporary wooden stage mixed with laughter from every corner. Ava observed the celebrations as they progressed from the town square's edge. She wore a casual navy dress and a loose braid over her shoulder, her sandals tapping nervously against the pavement. She wasn’t sure why she had come. Maybe it was the lemonade promise. Maybe it was the look in Liam’s eyes earlier that day. Maybe it was the part of her that was tired of running.

Chapter 1: Waves of Change The sea breeze was different here. Ava Bennett stepped off the bus and took a deep breath, letting the salty air fill her lungs. She closed her eyes and listened. Waves crashed in the distance, seagulls called overhead, and the faint hum of a sleepy town morning hung in the air. It wasn’t just the landscape that felt new—it was the sense of possibility, of change.

The World of Telekinon: King Aurin's Ascension
In Telekinon’s untamed jungles, where bioluminescent vines pulse and tall trees sway in the thick, fear has long ruled. Varkhul packs, their charcoal-gray fur streaked with silver, stalk the shadows, their 5-foot frames leaping 18 feet to tear through human flesh. Above, Valks with 12-foot obsidian wings screech, their telescopic eyes spotting prey 5 miles away, guiding the packs with ultrasonic pulses. At the heart of each pack looms a Grim Varkhul, 7 feet of jet-black terror, its crimson-streaked fur and bone-crushing teeth a death sentence. For generations, these beasts have driven humans to hide in deep caves or beneath forest canopies, their lives dictated by the predators’ hunger. Human’s aren’t the top of the food chain at Telekinon.

Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari: In-depth Review
Have you ever wondered how our species—these peculiar, hairless apes—managed to take over the entire planet? What invisible forces transformed us from insignificant savannah-dwellers into the architects of global civilization? I've spent the past two weeks completely absorbed in this question, thanks to a remarkable book that has fundamentally altered how I understand human history.

After the stars fell
Write a story after the happily ever after I often wondered what love is. Is it truly the warm, fuzzy emotions that ooze out of true mirth of care and adore, or is it a product of prevalent capitalism that exists within our world? That makes it easy for the consumeristic and hyperagile construct to sell products to the humans as a marketing tactic, to slip in through the psyche of innocent minds, to create a buzz, to find their weaklings and exploit them for company profits and expansions. I still find myself wondering what love is, pondering over that thought.

Lighthouse . Top Story - May 2025.
They called her eccentric. Said she was just “different.” A free spirit. A quirky woman with too many ideas and too few filters. No one saw the shadows behind her eyes but I did. I saw them crawl across her mind like fog rolling in off the sea.
