  • Specter of Incompetence | A Cozy Haunting Gone Wrong
    Jun 17 2026

    Meet Dennis. He’s a ghost. He’s also hopelessly unscary.

    When a clerical error in the afterlife assigns him to haunt a perfectly normal apartment, expect zero terror and plenty of: sneezy moans, failed chain-rattling, binge-watching Bake Off, and emotional oversharing from inside a hall closet.

    Over three awkward and unexpectedly heartfelt months, the world’s worst ghost becomes something stranger: a roommate, a confidant, and maybe the only one who really understands.

    Specter of Incompetence is a cozy, comedic short story about afterlife bureaucracy, loneliness, friendship, and a haunting so bad it might actually be good.

    Perfect for fans of whimsical paranormal fiction, slice-of-life supernatural humor, and ghost stories with big feelings.

  • Quest For Glory | So You Want To Be A Hero (A Love Letter To Sierra Games)
    Jun 10 2026

    If you've ever climbed a tree a thousand times just to be ready for the castle wall later, this one is for you.

    Quest for Glory | So You Want To Be A Hero (A Love Letter To Sierra Games) is a warm, nostalgic love letter to a bygone era of adventure games. The kind where heroes got stronger by doing, goblins multiplied after every fight, all you needed to defeat a witch was a mirror, and the world quietly remembered every choice you made.

    Set in Veilburg Valley, this mini-epic follows a wandering hero sneaking past brigands, finding missing barons, dancing in fairy circles, escaping huts with chicken legs, and confronting the kind of evil that starts small and grows if you let it.

    Remember to save. Allocate your stats accordingly. Here, we have a hero, a road, and work that's never quite finished.

    Somewhere, a Thieves' Guild dagger thunks against a wall, a wizard in a tower yammers on with his rat familiar, and adventure is waiting.

    Welcome back to the valley.

  • The Grand Jeté of Yhtill | An Eldritch Horror
    Jun 3 2026

    Every rule broken opens another door.

    When Clara's thirty-fourth fouetté wakes something in the mirrors, she's drawn into a performance meant for inhuman eyes.

    Bleeding pointe shoes. Impossible choreography. An audience that doesn't clap.

    It clicks.

    This is a dark ballet of cosmic horror, a pas de deux between a dancer and something ancient, performed on a stage with no edges, for an audience with no mercy.

    Clara may not come back.

  • Cost Benefit Analysis | Profits Over People
    May 27 2026

    Corporate promised a six-hour sweep.

    The soldiers got six weeks of horror.

    On X-8813 (aka "Veymar's Folly") Sergeant Elias Rook and his platoon faced acid storms, tunneling insectoid hunters, and intelligence data so wrong it bordered on criminal.

    When the sky went silent, they knew the truth.

    Corporate was done.

    Not when the ROI dipped. Not when the spreadsheets said "acceptable losses." Not when the math said the mission could still save lives.

    This is a story about soldiers abandoned at the edge of known space, a war fought for margins, and a corporation that cashed out long before the last heartbeat fell quiet.

    A sci-fi tragedy carved in chitin, fire, and profit.

  • The Forgotten Gods | A "Divine" Comedy - Part II
    May 20 2026

    While Heaven scrambles, Hell rebrands, and both sides lawyer up over eternity, something else is happening quietly in Purgatory.

    Behind filing cabinets. Past janitorial warnings. Through a door no one remembers.... the forgotten gods are watching.

    Loki, Dionysus, Osiris, Anubis, Quetzalcoatl, deities abandoned by time and worship, have front-row seats to the greatest afterlife meltdown in history. From Heaven's HR breakdowns to Hell's surprisingly excellent workplace reforms, they drink, place bets, and absolutely refuse to get involved.

    This is a story about forgotten gods living off the grid, divine bureaucracy gone completely off the rails, and the quiet joy of power without responsibility.

    Pull up a chair. Place your bets. And whatever you do, try not to hit Reply All.

  • The Black Fen Trilogy: Part I | The Ogre
    May 13 2026

    When the Stone Tusk warband is ordered south to raid the human kingdoms, Drezig the Standard-Bearer senses the truth: this isn't conquest. It's exile.

    Warlord Geizug leads his warriors deeper into enemy lands, gorging on easy victories and ignoring every warning. But the real human army is waiting, gathering at Black Fen.

    What follows is treachery, slaughter, and the grim politics of ogre clans, where strength decides everything… except fate.

    The Ogre is a dark fantasy short story about doomed loyalty, brutal realism, and a warband sent to die.

    Perfect for fans of gritty clan intrigue, hopeless battles, and fantasy that doesn't flinch.

  • Tickets Please, Earn This, and More Coffee | A Cozy Conspiracy
    May 6 2026

    Every year we watch all the Christmas movies. And every year The Polar Express gives me the same feeling... there's a thread here worth pulling.

    The more I rewatched it, the more I noticed strange parallels. Belief. Sacrifice. Memory. Sound. Silence. And a surprising connection to Saving Private Ryan.

    So I shared the theory with my wife. What started as a joke turned into a fast-talking, coffee-fueled conversation with a little conspiracy energy and a lot of heart.

    This is a playful dialogue connecting The Polar Express, Saving Private Ryan, and Tom Hanks' characters into one fun (and slightly unhinged) theory about belief, trauma, and why the bell still rings for those who listen.

    Nothing serious. Nothing spoilery. Just a good holiday thought experiment over coffee. ☕🎄🔔

  • Echoes of the Century | A Rock Opera
    May 5 2026

    What if your greatest song came from a dream?

    Echoes of the Century begins in darkness, a voice carried through static, a melody that refuses to stay quiet. It builds slowly, inevitably, into something enormous. A stage on fire. A crowd singing as one. A song that already knows it's going to outlive the moment it was born in.

    This is the story of a boy, a dream, and the spark that turns imagination into something the world can feel.

    From whispered lyrics and trembling first chords to roaring crowds and blinding lights, this is music as memory, rebellion, faith, and destiny.

    If you've ever felt a song before you understood it…If you've ever picked up an instrument and felt like something bigger was listening…If you've ever wondered whether it's too late to start…

    This one is for you.
