《A Skazka》Screaming World Riddle
Advertisement
He was at a halloween party. He was joined by his close friends. His friend, Jake, stared blankly at another group. I was playing with my fingers, trying to entertain myself. I decided to poke my finger in the ants hole.
“What are you thinking Jake?” I asked. His friend faced him with a wicked smirk. His friend’s face told the world that he knew something that no one else did. “Say it already,” I implored. He always did this when he cracked himself up with some idea.
Our banter started pulling the attention of the rest of our friends. Everyone knew Jake pretty well. Jake had charisma. His charisma is not always present. It only blooms when Jake has something interesting to say.
“Do you guys know the screaming world riddle?” No one did, but he knew too well to know any less.
“The riddle goes like this.”
“Everyone. And I mean every person in the world is screaming. But, here is the thing. They can’t scream in front of you. And I mean you as you.”
“So you're saying outside of this building everyone is screaming.” someone inquired. He slowly stood up, “Sure”. Jake fiddled with his pockets and pulled out his pack of smokes. He looked at the door and back at us. “I am going to take a quick smoke.”
He left the rest of us with the riddle. One of the girls tried lighting up the mood, “Hey, it wouldn’t matter if the world was screaming or not, my kids would probably be screaming either way.”
Another friend said something that was on my mind. “This riddle has matrix vibes.” I grunted in agreement. And added, “The riddle would still hold true even if you are not the only person who is not screaming.” His skin froze up at his own words.

Breaking Horizons: Book 1: Snared Origins
Many want to learn things from a story, while others only want fast-paced wonders. We are human and we like to dream, we are alive and we want to feel. Don’t wander outside before knowing the inside. Even if this is slow, it gives you the reader, things to behold. This is a story but also knowledge. It isn’t fast or entertaining but makes you wonder. Everything starts from something unknown, we all want to know the untold. However, can you persevere if something starts being boring? Shouldn’t entertainment start from something unexciting? Open a door to what you might know or not. Learn to dream in my unhealthy abode. Start from the garbage since that’s the place where I belong. Welcome to Raccoon’s abode. Breaking Horizons: Breaching the Fourth Dimension. A slow story that will take you on a ride towards the unknown. PS: Will make things clear here. The actual main character is a human, the raccoon is a pet for the novel. So it isn't a raccoon Isekai or reincarnation as a raccoon. I still haven't added it to the story, as I am currently doing the intro. A long intro! So the start might feel off when you read it. The story will include many genres but starts with psychological stuff and low fantasy. The whole story is an enormous puzzle, but it starts with a tiresome beginning for many. There is a reason for that... If you want to know more about this story check my discord: https://discord.gg/rZs6mem You can ask what you want to know there. Or join a bigger and cooler server where many authors hang out: https://discord.gg/2hbvq8B (Its dungeon engineer and many cool stories' server) This is my own story, so its for me only. I will not have a schedule. I left it on hiatus for a while, can't write two stories, too busy.

Extant Expanse
The answer to an overpopulated, unemployed, robot replaced, under-resourced, power crisis, climate crisis, a poverty-stricken world, where the few have and most have not? It took a few decades of technology development, a few genius minds, and a few corporate takeovers, and a planet in crisis. Yet that answer should be obvious. * * * This is a first time writing attempt. I have no idea what's going to happen or where this story is headed. I simply had an idea for a story I wanted to explore. Fanfiction elements. I hope to release monthly, no guarantees though. * * * Unknown Cover Art
