Night Brawlers

In the shadowy realm between dreams and reality, Makas awakens with no memory of his past. Thrust into a world he doesn’t understand, he’s told he has a divine purpose: to brawl against the nightmarish creatures born from human trauma.

Welcome to Moonshade, a mysterious bar where the Night Brawlers gather. These chosen few are tasked with venturing into the subconscious minds of troubled souls, confronting the monstrous manifestations of their deepest fears and darkest memories.

As our hero grapples with his own lost identity, he must learn to navigate this dangerous dreamscape, facing not only the horrors lurking in others’ minds but also the growing suspicions and mistrust that his own forgotten past imposes on him.

Will he embrace his calling as a Night Brawler and uncover the truth of his existence, or will the monsters of the mind consume him, leaving the world of dreams—and reality—in peril?

Alone in the Metal

Alaric and his older brother, Leroy, were orphaned at a young age. While they spend their days busy and making bets for sweets, what they want more than anything is to find their parents and, with that reunion, hope to learn the reason for their abandonment. Unfortunately, so far, they have no leads because no one in the orphanage will admit to knowing anything about their family.

The night before Leroy's seventeenth birthday, everything changes when he eavesdrops on a conversation between Mrs. Winters, the headmaster, and one of the instructors. Leroy is left stunned to learn that every child in the orphanage is an android, stolen from their families and made into weapons for the military.

Leroy malfunctions and leaves all he remembers in a journal hidden under his mattress. Alaric finds the journal, which leads him down a dark road of questions and anger.

As memories of horrific acts that he has unwittingly committed in the name of the military come flooding back to him, he decides to embark on his most difficult mission yet: fighting for his own freedom.
