The year is 2898. After a horrific radioactive apocalypse, humanity is forced to move underground, forming Neo-countries and renaming the planet Neo-Earth, each Neo-country forming numbered underground bases.

The year is 3023. In Neo-American base #5555, things couldn't be worse. The laws are unbearably strict, and breaking them results in Exile, which means getting sent aboveground and left to die. Dionysius Hawthorne and his friends are determined to run away from this tyrannical nightmare. Will they make it out, or will one of Dionysius's closest friends face his doom and have no way out?

(TW: physical abuse, murder, sh, sa, depression, homophobia + more!!😀)

So i had a dream. Two young men, one escaping terrible exploitation and one escaping terrible luxury, meet. They set of on their individual journeys to change their lives. On the way they meet angels and monsters and mermaids and demon horses and perfectly normal people with universes locked inside their tears. And they meet themselves. It was all a dream I had one night, literally a dream with the unbelievable qualities dreams have. It  was a bit weird. It was a bit disjointed. It was a bit fantastical. It was definitely emotional. It was a bit ridiculous at times, but it was inspiring at times. And I woke up in a daze, a literal daze. I decided to share the content of this dream with whoever comes across this story and decides to read it. Honoured guests, I humbly welcome you, to the story I spent days caudifying when I was supposed to be doing my homework.

The Young Lightning Rehabilitation takes the most problem of youths and turns them into good citizens. It makes the most troubled of rebels into compliant and obedient pieces of society. It restructures the most stubborn of minds into docile and contented brains. No-one gets dragged into the centre and comes out unchanged. Everyone who enters its walls comes out broken down, destructured, destroyed, and rebuilt anew.

Simran is a young girl who chooses not to fit in. She doesn't know what she wants, but she knows she wants something. And she knows she'll find that something no matter the cost.

Once upon a time, in a land far away filled with magic of all sorts, there was a type of creature called a Farlen. The blood that they bled, when it hit the sunlight, would turn into a grand host of rubies, one ruby for each drop. And there were men, too many men, who would seek to exploit such an abundant source of wealth.

When a Farlen named Gray was captured, he almost gave up on the thought of rescue, the thought of escape. But help can come from the most unlikely of sources.

This is the story of Lynn Owens, a teenage girl who had it all. The love of her life, her family, and even money. She knew she needed nothing more. Insert Grace Lynch, and Lynn felt like the happiest girl alive.

...Until the unthinkable happened. When Grace is left comatose in the aftermath of something awful, Lynn is destroyed, fraught, and unsure of how to feel about anything. Lynn continued to fight, deciding that staying strong and being with Grace was the best option. However, as hard as Lynn tried to keep herself together, the evil of man and the darkness within herself had come out on top.

Lynn finally shattered and what came with that was a yearning for numbness. She spiraled out of control, falling into the world of Heroin and Benzos. Further and further she fell, until she was placed into The Oregon Mental Health and Substance Abuse Rehabilitation Center by her parents and a lone friend. Alone and scared, she was now forced to look at herself...and a pair of familiar faces.

Can Lynn take a step forward without taking another two backwards?

What is irony? In my case, it's what is happening right now. You are reading about me, a guy who is entirely not interesting. I don't have any quirks, any tragic past story or anything. No one would even know who i was if it wasn't for the beautiful, extraordinary Eleanor Wilkens.
