Joey Batey

The Altar in the Mist

After a bitter divorce, Ellie Brooks moves to the isolated town of Graven with her nine-year-old son, Joey, hoping to start fresh. But their new home, perched on the edge of the mysterious Silent Lake, offers little comfort. The townsfolk are cold and distant, their eyes shadowed by something more than mere suspicion. And then there’s the lake—its misty surface rippling with whispers that only Joey seems to hear. As Ellie struggles to fit into the town, Joey’s behavior grows increasingly strange. He’s drawn to the lake, speaking of a voice in the fog that calls to him, promising answers to questions he cannot yet articulate. Desperate to protect her son, Ellie begins to unravel Graven’s dark history. What she uncovers chills her to the bone: a century-old pact to feed the lake’s insatiable hunger, a cursed altar hidden deep within the mist, and a malevolent force that preys on the town’s fears and guilt. The fog begins to thicken, creeping through the streets and into their lives. The townspeople, terrified of breaking their pact, turn against Ellie and Joey, seeing them as the next sacrifices to the lake. Trapped in a town that has surrendered to its own nightmares, Ellie must confront the horrors of her past and the terrors in the mist to save her son—and herself. But the lake does not give up its prey so easily. "The Altar in the Mist" is a chilling tale of fear, sacrifice, and the unbreakable bond between a mother and her child. Weaving supernatural terror with deeply human emotions, it explores how far we are willing to go to protect the ones we love—and what it costs to confront the monsters both outside and within.

A Deal With My Boyfriend's Billionaire Brother

"Madisyn, I need to know!" Joey's voice trembled with urgency, her eyes searching Madisyn's for answers. "You don't deserve to know!" Madisyn shot back, her voice cracking as tears welled up in her eyes. "Not after you broke up with me!" Her words dissolved into sobs, her chest heaving with the weight of her emotions. "Please," Joey's voice softened, filled with desperation. "Just tell me… is the kid you're pregnant with mine or is it my brother's?" --- Madisyn had always envisioned a simple, colorful life. She dreamed of nurturing her children with love and being a devoted mother, building the family she had always longed for. After years of falling for the wrong men, she thought she had finally found the perfect one, the man who would complete her picture of happiness. But she had made a grave mistake. In her eagerness for love, she had handed over her heart too quickly, trusting too easily. It was a mistake that would cost her dearly when he abandoned her at the altar, leaving her humiliated on what was supposed to be the happiest day of her life. As if that betrayal wasn’t enough, she soon uncovered the bitter truth: his love had never been real. He had faked every tender word, every promise of forever. But fate has a way of balancing the scales. Madisyn knew that revenge was a dish best served cold, and what could be more satisfying than turning to the one person her ex hated most? His own brother. Dating his brother wasn't just about moving on; it was about reclaiming her power. It was about showing him that she could rise from the ashes he left behind and find love in the most unexpected place—right under his nose.

OTHERWORLD

'Who are you and why are you here, where is here?' She asked me as I brought a jug of water Rogue and Roar followed after me and sat in front of her on a couch as the little girl beside her tended to her wounds. "And what is this place?" "Well for the last question as it is easier to answer." I said as I handed her a glass of water, the little one marveling at the glass I handed her and smiled at her reaction. "This!" I pointed around myself. "Is my house." "All of it?" The little girl asked me this time. "Well, yes?" The older one raised her brow at me. "Well there only ten living beings living here and only one of them is human, four prefer to sleep out in the open, outside the gate while three sleep on the floor and one likes to sleep on the counter and one of them likes to perch themselves at a higher place, and seeing how big that place is." I pointed towards the door connecting the mansion to my house. "Living in such a big place alone would give me nightmares so, here is better." "What about ths rest of the questions?" She asked me again. "Well." I spoke as I gulped down a glass water myself. "I am looking for those answers as well." The World was about to be destroyed. There were political drama, protests, wars and on top of that an Asteroid was headed for the planet. What was worse news than this? Well for Joey who lost his whole family a while ago this was nothing. The only thing he wanted was to get back with his family which would be fullfilled with the Asteroid approaching. But even that wish was not fulfilled when he saw a hole in front of his house right before the Asteroid neared the planet and next thing he knows is that he and his house is not where it was and there are giant trees around him. Just where is he?
