"You're such a bastard!"

"I am a bastard," he agreed, leaning even closer to her, "but I'm your bastard, kitten."

Someone who's not average, not ordinary, not trying to fit in, not....'normal', as defined by society.

And deep inside, she felt the weight of eyes upon her, watching her every move.

Questions lingered and haunted her mind: Who was the observer? And what motives laid behind those captivating gazes?

Everyone wants to have a special ability, a gift that makes you stand out or perhaps a superpower, everyone wants to be seen, noticed, acknowledged and accorded respect, But the question is, is it that simple? Is it all pleasant? Imagine a life whereby you have a unique ability, a superpower, and to some extent a curse, imagine a life where you aren't normal and no matter how hard you try you just tend to stand out and capture people's attention ( and mind you it's not every attention that's positive), a life that sucks so bad to the extent that you can't walk on the street without getting weird glances and secret whispers. Well, if you can imagine that, then I guess you'd have an idea how the life of Jasmine Brown and Kyle Robertson's looks like. Sit back, grab a popcorn and soda or a plate of Duchess cookies and a shot of Eau-de-vie ( if you're a rich one) and watch how the story plays out. Read and Enjoy!

This is a collection of horror writings I wrote (>﹏<)

Some were dreams I had or inspirations from my friends dreams ( actually nightmares :)

This story is an unusual concept. Each chapter is a short story that takes place in each of the 50 states. The states are selected in the order they joined the Union

All of my contest entries I have done for various competitions across Penana.

Each will be an issue on thier own, with awards won.

“Glorious Atormis!” Is an exclamation made by the greatest adventurer that stood on the Core Point—a place where heaven, purgatory and hell can be seen meeting in a twilight eclipse. “And no other place can allow you to fully feel the true power of the expression” Pen desires to be the 2nd greatest adventurer to stand on the core point. “Only then can one feel as well, the true meaning of existence!” But he knows of the countless danger ahead that he has to challenge. Nothing in this great Atormis can be fully explored or provided a solution---a Chorus, a Triavrate, or a magma earthquake, everything is possible once an adventurer sets out for the core point. “Nothing will stop them unless the world kills them!”

Lots of focus on everything world-building

Bite sized chapters/poems because I want to write about them every four days (used to be everyday but now I focus more on Staged Princess, and Chronicles of Atormis)

George and Rupert are your fantasy gay couple who does everything because one secretly has a lot of money and experience in magic that he is practically immortal, while the other is the opposite who is pitiful and baby-needy. Follow their daily life after they had celebrated their 18th birthday and have fun reading!

(You might be confused with the switch between poetry and prose and I apologize T_T I have no plans of sticking to one of them. This story has come as a way for me to unwind, reassure, or get ready for longer writing sprints.)
