They were all college students and artists from Massachusetts.

In August 1976, the four men took a two-week canoeing and fishing trip into the remote Maine wilderness. On the second night, while camping near Eagle Lake, they saw a bright light in the sky. It hovered, moved erratically, and then disappeared. They shrugged it off at the time.

A few nights later, while night fishing, they saw the same light again. This time, it was very close.

They saw a large, glowing object with a bright light, hovering silently over the lake.

They became alarmed and paddled back to shore.

As the light approached, they were suddenly engulfed in a beam of light from the craft.

The next thing they knew, they were back at their campsite. The fire they had built, which should have lasted hours, had burned down to embers — suggesting missing time.

Years later (late 1980s), strange dreams and psychological symptoms prompted them to seek help. Under hypnosis, each of the four men independently recalled:

Being taken aboard a spacecraft.

Encountering tall, grey-skinned humanoid beings with large eyes.

Undergoing medical examinations.

Being returned to the shore with no memory of the incident — until the dreams began.

The case was investigated by Raymond Fowler, a well-known UFO researcher.

The men's accounts were consistent under hypnosis and passed lie detector tests.

Skeptics argue that the memories were likely influenced by suggestion or false memory.

The Allagash Abductions have been featured in books, documentaries, and TV shows like Unsolved Mysteries.

"Pull me up ya twat!" He said, rapidly tugging on the tug excessively, much, much more than five times."I SAID PULL ME UP TWAT!" He shouted, despite knowing not a single soul could hear his constant shouting near 200 meters down. I knew I shouldn't have trusted that rusty old geezer to actually have is head screwed on right.He said, now sitting down, trying to calm down while still constantly tugging on the rope.Just then, he felt a slight shake in the dive bell that quickly turned into a violent shaking, knocking him around all which way, giving him a deep gash in his hand as his hand quickly was pulled off the rope, causing very bloody rope burn."What the fuck is going on up there?" He said in a somewhat quiet but shaky and concerned tone. Once the shaking came to a short halt, he felt the dive bell slowly ascend as his dive bell continued to shake violently, tossing him around every which way. "Holy shit!" He said before his head bashed into the side of the dive bell, knocking him unconscious.Once his eyes opened, the dive bell had stopped shaking, but it felt unstable. Every time he made even the smallest movement, he heard an eerie creak coming from outside. He calmly stood up before he felt his oxygen slowly seep from his throat. His lungs felt empty, his throat closed, and his legs and arms immediately gave up before he fell to the floor once again. Shortly after, he felt air entering his body again, and felt his muscles and blood properly running through his body before his muscles and lungs gained control again. He stood up one more time before he opened the hatch to the dive bell, still hearing the eerie creaking, and as he stepped outside to an unfamiliar, almost rustic and decrepit metal platform, he looked up once more and saw an absolutely horrifying sight.The sight of his once bright, (of course, a bit of an exaggeration,) oil rig, now rusty and falling apart that looked like as if hell itself had come from the shadows and aged the thing five-hundred or so years, probably even more.

"What... The fuck..."

It is a time of unprecedented change. Reality, with all its limitations, has been replaced by a boundless secondary reality known as the INFINIVERSE. This new existence was crafted to eradicate war, poverty, hunger, and disease. Through the advanced technology of mind and body uploading, beings from all corners of the galaxy enter this utopian existence to live in harmony. Neurodivergents, whose unique minds once set them apart, now possess extraordinary abilities within the Infiniverse, making them both revered and feared .Under threat from moderators who see them as dangerous anomalies, these exceptional individuals are pursued relentlessly.

Now, a young boy steps into the Infiniverse for the first time, holding the key to the fate of both realities as the first Galactic War is about to take place…

In the following link, you can hear my reading of the first few pages from each of the ten short stories in my Mindscapes speculative fiction collection. Note that although this book is available in electronic, paperback and audiobook format, these readings from each of the short stories is my own and NOT a sample of the professionally produced Audible audiobook read by professional voice talent.

This short story is just what has happened to me and just put into my writing style and how I saw it through my eyes. Thankfully I am well over this stupid guy now. I also apologize for the wide gaps in days! 🙇

A series of five bedtime stories set in a cold winter time. A bit of realism,a bit of magic, created for young children and readers.

Does "superpower" sound cool? — Until you discover that your ability is so useless, it’s laughable!

Lin Xiaoqiang, a broke community college loser who can barely afford to drink instant noodle soup for three days, suddenly awakens the superpower of "hearing animals’ thoughts."

— Only to find out that within a 10-meter radius, every animal is a vicious, sarcastic master of insults! The neighbor’s fat orange cat mocks him every day for being single, the pigeons on the street gossip about humans’ hairlines, and the stray dogs are secretly plotting a "world domination" scheme…

To survive (and prevent the dogs’ plans), he is forced to assemble a team of "useless superhumans":

This group of "Super Useless League" has daily tasks such as:

✔️ Helping the breakfast shop owner control "telekinetic egg frying" (but the eggs always stick to the customers’ faces).

✔️ Stopping A Zhai from using his 3-second time freeze to sneak a peek at the goddess’s phone (only to find that the goddess is also using superpowers to edit photos).

✔️ Fighting the "Superpower Correction Center" — led by an obsessive-compulsive uncle whose power is "forcing everyone to wear turtlenecks instantly!"

When they discover that animals are planning to destroy humanity with their "lazy genes," this rescue mission turns into:

Lying dead on an IKEA display bed, forcing the whole city to do square dancing with a pink virus, and live-streaming the absurd business of selling "turning exes into hamsters."

This is a hilarious comedy about "how loser superhumans turn their daily lives into disasters, but accidentally save the world!"

If you've ever fantasized about having superpowers, after reading this book… you’ll be grateful to be an ordinary person!

This wasn't the original start of the series. But as I planned out it's sequel, I realized I wasn't starting the story in the right spot and pushed back events. This became it's own book when I realized how much will be going into these starting years of Myla and Audric's relationship dynamic.

As such, this is a coming-of-age story about how and why these two have such a hold on one another as they do as adults. It'll have a bittersweet ending as where it ends will be close enough to where the sequel begins.

Learning who she is on a farm is, it seems, the gentlest way to go about her amnesia as Myla comes to learn.

After humanity gained civilization, people learned to name things. Once named, each object gained a “Story Command.”

Early schools of thought saw this ability as a kind of spell—believing that names and titles could control people and things, or give contracts their binding power.

Nowadays, as civilization has advanced, the Story Commandsystem has grown ever more sophisticated—and ever more powerful...

—Excerpt from Introduction to Story Command

Ever since she was a child, Xia Yue Zhong has had a unique gift: she can see the narrative—the descriptive text—attached to any object she looks at. She thought only one other person in the world shared this ability, a mysterious girl she met once in her childhood.

That is, until high school, when she and her twin sister Lil’ Yu stumble into a strange “one-book school” called Marelin High. There, she discovers a whole community of people who can see narrative, and even finds clues about that girl from her past.

At Marelin, everyone creates magic through writing—this is called Story Command.

Dueling, cooking, even shipping your favorite couples—all can be achieved with the power of Story Command. Some even say that adding a good luck meme from your elders boosts the effect!

But there’s a catch—once a story is written, it must be finished, or disaster will follow...

So, freshmen, pick up your fountain pens and ink—get ready to experience the true power of words!

🌈 BL and ghost stories are magic. So are mysteries, crackfics, and even elder memes—they can all be used in battle!

In this book, you’ll find:
