Saltworld, Chapter 30 - Sticking Out

Sen was running.

He hadn’t spared a moment to think—to deliberate. It had just taken a second after he saw the helicopter flying in the sky for his vision to tunnel down. After that, it was just buzzing. A soundless droning in his ears and the feeling of his body moving on its own, as if he had been possessed by a p...

Saltworld, Chapter 28 - Supervision

And I'm back! Lots of stuff happened over the last two weeks. Very exciting stuff. Brother finished his honeymoon and flew back overseas, I finally got my first shot of the Pfizer vaccine, and the new office chair I ordered for my back pains is getting delivered tomorrow. I can finally move on from this stupid patio chair I'v...

Saltworld, Chapter 27 - Fun and Games

Em, Bali, and Tasha ended up playing a simple game of Snakes and Ladders. Sen watched it happen from across the board game café, a can of iced coffee in his hand. Not that it was cold anymore. With the lack of electricity in the area, all the drinks in Dubai had been rendered sad and lukewarm. It was only the lack of the des...

Saltworld, Chapter 26 - Unshotgun

Sen stared into the barrel of a gun.

The long, graysteel barrel stabbed out of the darkness, inches away from his face. The shotgun barrel’s two...

Chapter 25 - Moonrise

By the time the car passed through International City, they were going down the final stretch of the highway. Sen and Bali watched the road with somber silence as the mist dwindled.

Outside, the Flow in the air had thinned significantly as well.

“That thing in the mist,” Sen murmured. “It was the one letting...

Saltworld, Chapter 24 - Into the Mist

Sen wasn’t used to feeling cold air in Dubai.

And yet, as they drove deeper into the sea of fog, all he could think about was the unnatural chill in the air. It was as if the entirety of this section of the city were refrigerated, to the point that Sen saw a slight coating of frost creeping along what corals they pass...

Saltworld, Chapter 23 - Little Comforts

And here's the first advanced chapter, everyone! I'll be uploading two more tomorrow, and then the last two over the course of this week. The other chapters are still being made/checked out by my beta readers, so you guys'll have to wait another day before you get them. After I get to the 5 advanced chapters of my $5 tier, I'...

Firstly, I want to thank everyone that came in and joined the Patreon early!

Lost In Translation, Chapter 31 - Ale

Aami stared at the puddle of melted soil and blinked. Frowning, she turned her gaze to Priscia, “I’m still new to this friend thing, but I’m pretty sure poisoning each other is a mother and son kind of activity.”

Priscia looked up and furrowed her brows, “What kind of mother did you have?”

Update: Re-writing and trying to improve as a writer.

Hey guys, I haven't updated in a while, but I just wanted to update everyone on my status at the moment. School's been making me incredibly busy lately, and all my writing time has evaporated. Normally, I'd still be able to release a chapter a week despite the multiple deadlines they give us on a daily basis, but I've decided to...
