《Even in the afterlife, I still hate mondays ...》Prologue - Waiting in line with good old Mark
Advertisement
Now introducing my new ghostly pastime :
Waiting in line for an extremely long amount of time, all in hope of getting one day reincarnated from the floaty soul, bedside lamp, state.
Personal record currently around three months and still counting.
Yaaiii …
Well, at least, I’m back to being eco-friendly *sigh*
Also, that joke is getting old and boring, like me, so let’s drop it.
Now let’s fill you in on the whole situation here.
After good old me fell from the survey room, I went back to the floaty soul state and I have been waiting in line since then.
Exciting, right ? ...
Fortunately, I kept the ability to move and communicate with the whole collection of friendly lamp down here. Like Mark.
“Hi Mark !” I said cheerfully
“For the last time, creep, go fuck yourself !”
Ah, just good old friendly Mark. *sigh*
Now, you may be wondering why Mark is such a grumpy fella.
Well turns out Mark doesn’t like waiting and tried to pass in front of everyone. He was thus beaten up and sent to the very back of the line with good old me that just happened to be in the way.
So, as you can guess, I am now further away from reincarnation than I was three months ago.
But I got Mark with me and that, ladies and gentleman, is amazing.
Of course, since that brawl was already three days ago, there is now a very long line behind us.
So I still got more people to talk to, like Janine right behind me.
“Hi Janine !” I said cheerfully once more
“...” As expected, no answer except a grumpy expression.
As you can see, Janine won’t speak much *sigh* but she is still a very nice old lady which is probably equally as tired of my shit as Mark.

Now, you may be wondering how floaty soul can brawl with each other and send other to the back of a line. Well, turns out the talented people among us can modify the shape of their floaty soul to anything they want and use that to beat the shit out of people who just happened to stand there.
And since, as you might have expected, I have the chance to be part of the group of loser who can’t figure how to do that, at all. I am proud to announce that my currently most efficient defensive method is to literally ram people with all my soul until they pass out.
Or until I pass out, since that shit fucking hurts…
But let us stay positive, at least while running away from scary people/soul I learned that floaty me shouldn't be afraid of asthmatic outbreaks. I don’t have lungs you see, so am I completly free to run around in this immense white space. Losing my place in the line while I’m at it.
But you don’t know the very best, all this shit doesn’t really matter since we are repeatedly overtaken by thousands of stronger souls who don’t give a shit about an old man’s feeling. Thus why we haven’t moved much during the past three days.
Seriously, all that’s changed since then is that there are now more people behind us. The number of people in front of us probably hardly changed at all. Not like I can really tell anyway, this infinite white space seriously lacks landmarks ...
Thus I am now in a position where I don’t want to lose a spot that, in all likelihood, is hardly worth keeping. *sigh*
But fear not, for there is a sliver of hope ! If I can train my soul until I, too, am able to do tricky shapeshifting magic, then it would be my turn to be a dick to people and take their position in line. Finally accessing what is rightly mine.

Sounds nice right ? Well, there is a quick in the quack. To increase the strength of one’s soul, there is only one possible mean.
You guessed it, reincarnation ! … Yup, just my luck again ...
Ah and that comes with the loss of your current personality while you're at it, since it’s a prerequisite to reincarnation. You know, so that people don’t end up crazy after living thousands upon thousands of lives.
At best, the current state of your soul would be used as a base for a new you to grow… But that’s if you’re lucky ...
So, to be honest, I am not very eager to be reincarnated given those conditions ...
However, I am very eager to leave this place as soon as possible.
Sooo, guess we are back to enjoying our new pastime for the next few hundreds of years …
*sigh*
But hey, at least, I still got Mark !
“Right Mark ?”
“Shut up already !”
Yeah Mark, that’s right, and fuck you too.

Whispers of Long Lost Voices
When all hope is gone, the crew of Hestia’s Hearth will make their own.What You Can Expect: * A Dark Yet Hopeful Universe* Kick Ass Found Families* Hero Moms* Dancers, Musicians and Space Shanties * Disabled MCs* Space Nazis Getting Punched in the Face (Sometimes Literally) * Folks who actually deal with trauma and griefThe Known Universe has been at peace for almost 100 years, but for most of Brenn’s life, trapped on an Earth controlled by the genetically superior Aesir Empire, it hasn’t felt like it. The Aesir took her peace, they took her parents, and then they took her wife. Three years after her wife’s murder, she’s found a new life light years away from Earth. A happy one, most days, with a best friend and captain who understands her, and a shared mission to undo some of the damage the Aesir have done to the Universe and offer relief to anyone who needs it. But the past has a way of rising again. A surprise rescue mission brings Brenn face to face with her wife; delirious, ill, and scarred from the bullets Brenn thought had killed her, but very much alive with a newborn at her breast. A newborn whose very existence could mean intergalactic war. Now Brenn must balance her wife’s delicate mental health, new motherhood, and her own complicated feelings while working with her Captain and their odd bunch of friends and allies to protect her tiny family from a small, but influential group within the Aesir government who will stop at nothing to take back Brenn’s wife and child. All the while, there are whispers of a greater and more ancient power coming to life. A power Brenn’s wife knows more about than she wants to let on. It’s a good thing Brenn is used to fighting. CW: Contains mildly graphic scenes of violence/death, topics of unwanted pregnancy/abortion, scientific experimentation on sapient beings, depression/suicide, grief, and trauma. The tone of this fiction is often dark and distinctly dystopian in lighter shades of Margaret Atwood, though where there is darkness there is always hope and light. On Hiatus Until September When the School Year Begins and Mom This story takes a considerable amount of time and mental energy to complete. I thought I had enough backlog and time to post it as a serial while COVID kept my child home from school, but it turns out while I can quickly write other pieces, I cannot produce the quality I need with this one at an acceptable rate. We'll resume in September when my days are much freer. Thank you for your patience and stay tuned for a different storytelling romp more suited for a serial platform in the meantime.

Lost souls, will be rewritten soon. (Old version)
In a world where mages stand above the peasants, the nobles, and the law, it is not surprising that everyone wants to learn magic. Five siblings from a village in the middle of nowhere felt the same. Unfortunately, a dragon brought ruin to their home, eventually cornering the five blood brothers. Luz, the eldest brother, ignored the warnings of his ancestors for the sake of their survival. Using an ancient teleportation spell, he and his siblings were sucked into a portal leading to God-knows-where. In a foreign place far from home, Luz carries the burden of disobeying his ancestors and losing his younger brothers. He sets off to reunite his siblings and slay the dragon that destroyed their village while only being equipped with one useless space spell that drains all his mana after one usage. Author's note: English isn't my first language and this is the first novel I tried writing, which is why some of the earlier chapters aren't that good, even though I grew better over time. I'm still in the phase of editing a lot of my earlier chapters. But unfortunately, I haven't yet found any time for it. Daily updates are to be expected till we reach chapter 100. If your comment motivates me, I might upload up to five chapters.^^
