An anthology based on a mix of twelve short stories inspired by twelve monthly prompts, by Deadlines for Writers. (2022 Edition)

Discover the poignant reflections of Aiken Dao in his first poetry collection, "Hey December." This book delves into the depths of memory, homecoming, and the bittersweet passage of time through the lens of the year's final month. Aiken takes readers on a heartfelt journey from the enchantment of childhood Decembers, filled with snow, cherished traditions, and family warmth, to the complex emotions of adulthood, where the simple joys of the past become distant memories.

As life propels him forward, away from the familiar comforts of home in pursuit of dreams and ambitions, Aiken contemplates the essence of home, belonging, and the sacrifices made for a greater purpose. "Hey December" is not just a collection of poems but a reflection on life's fleeting nature, the pursuit of happiness, and the quest for meaning amidst the inevitable changes.

Through his evocative poetry, Aiken explores the significance of the connections we cherish, the concept of home that evolves with us, and the relentless search for fulfilment. Join him on this introspective journey as he seeks to uncover the truths hidden within the days of December, offering readers a glimpse into the profound mysteries of life and the beauty of rediscovering what truly matters.

This is my collection of writing over the years! I will add to this frequently (probably) so make sure to check back! :)

-My stories may contain triggers please be advised-

A collection of the lyrics I wrote. Lyrics about everything that matters to me. About everything that I yearn for desperately.

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

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

If Pandora’s Box is full of evil, then mine shall be full of marvels! Phantasia’s Bubble box is a collection of my stocked story ideas both new and old. Some of these may be referenced from shows, or games. While some are perfectly original (though I know that not everything is original. But the word ‘perfect’ is simple perfect <3).

But why the word Bubble? Well, I see stories like bubbles. They are fragile and fleeting–ephemeral, plus they are beautiful to look at with their rainbow colors. Despite not every story is objectively beautiful, but to me every story is just as beautiful as having to physically experience something.

They might as well be a way for us to practice putting ourselves in others’ shoes (minus the books that are used for imparting knowledge. Those books are for analytically inclined individuals to enjoy).

From the stars high above, a constellation of poems formed from the sensational feelings and thoughts.

|7X FEATURED · SPOLIGHT STORY|

Saddened by her lonely life, a little girl named Victoria Christie uses her inventive imagination to write stories. Now that she's an older individual, she must find a way to share her tale with the world.

***

Victoria Christie never expected to be a writer, but everything changed in 4th grade when she annoyed her mother at a barber shop. She told Victoria to write in her school notebook, which sparked her daughter's life-long passion for writing.

Now, many years later, Victoria is eager to share her story-through an interactive novel that showcases how her writing has changed overtime and what hardships she faced in order to keep her island of personality-especially after her brother's unfortunate death in 2021.

With the power of writing and her brother's legacy about her becoming a successful author, will Victoria's old stories spark the interest of an audience? Will they interact with her and tell her how her incomplete pieces should end, or will Victoria forever remain an undiscovered author?

This is an anthology of my old stories. Most are incomplete, so it's up to my audience to decide how they should end. This is the story of how I became Viktoria Fyodorova.

Let the cringe begin!
