This is a bunch of short stories I had to get out of my system. Each part is a complete story, so you don't have to worry about being left hanging!

1. Heist. I was was blinded by a sudden wave of story, character, and plot (which usually don't coincide with each other) while innocently on the way home from music practice. The result? A really cool story about a villain who doesn't stay bad and a heroine who isn't always good.

2. Antivirus. This is a story I wrote in high school, so bear with me... it took about three days in the writing, before I had much experience. Feel free to skip to the next story if you'd rather!

3. The Piano. For the romantic sentimental who like to wallow in what might have been.

4. The Night of January 7, 2018. Have you ever had one of those dreams that seemed incredibly real? Scarily deep and intense?

5. In The Archive of Biatre. This story is just a cute excerpt from my character's childhood. Note: only one character survives to the actual book.

6. Virtual Life. I have imagined what it would be like to live in a world that consisted of white walls, solar powered energy, and nearly complete dependence on machinery.

7. Almost an Override. This story is the result of a writing prompt on blog.reedsy.com which is an awesome website! I combined the prompt with my experience in customer service, and came out with something akin to comedy :)

8. A Perfectly Normal Thought Process. Another writing prompt from blog.reedsy.com about the "perfectly normal" state of my mind.

9. The Appointed Time. This was a New Year's prompt from blog.reedsy.com. It took me two days to finish, and all the characters are actually friends from church!

10. Leaving Footprints. Reaching the max character limit... blog.reedsy.com!

11. Sweet Little Things. Romance / horror genre blend. Prompt from blog.reedsy.com.

12. Created To Be. Need I say more? blog.reedsy.com

And more!

"I can't remove it Saahir, p-please don't make me do this, its a part of me" she begged on the verge of tears."I said take it off!"

The Dark Part One: Diseased

Umbraia Malavalatia Psychosis. Better known as 'The Dark'. A sickness of the mind caused by an unknown supervirus, its symptoms include suddenly violent behavior, anger, depression, fevering, and later, a mind-numbing cold. Once someone manifests, the disease takes them over and they start to crave the one thing a Darklurker can live on: the souls of man. The Dark is regularly misdiagnosed as a whole host of mental illnesses, from Bipolar Disorder to Dissociative Personality Disorder to simple attention-seeking. Subsequently, most afflicted by the Dark don't even know they have it. But everyone knows when their eyes turn red, and the skin around them becomes a sickly black. Infected with the sickness and given only a month before he goes insane, Dean isn't ready to curl up and die. Following in the footsteps of a Dark scientist who went missing, he sets out with a group of Darklings to find a cure. But the government isn't interested in a cure. In a campaign of fear and hysteria, the world's leaders have begun assassinating Darklings and legalizing their murder. Deans's own father is set to pass Bill D-17, which legalizes experimenting on Darklurkers and Darklings and killing them without reprimand. The people who once protected Dean and his friends are now out for their lives. On the run and with his internal clock ticking, Dean must win the war in his mind before the Dark overtakes him, his friends, and the world. A/N: START YOUR WEEK WITH A FRESH DOSE OF THE DARK! NEW CHAPTERS EVERY SUNDAY!
