The Last Broadcast

In the remote, fog-shrouded town of Millhaven, superstition holds sway, and silence is salvation. Embarrassed radio DJ Jack Mercer is back in his hometown in one final attempt at salvaging his career, going live on a Halloween broadcast to reveal the town's darkest tale: the Revenant, a ghost said to take one soul every decade. But Millhaven's inhabitants—tightly lipped and haunted by centuries of guilt—won't talk about the curse, forcing Jack to rummage through decaying archives and deserted buildings for clues. When he discovers a decades-old diary of Evelyn Carter, a woman who disappeared while searching for the Revenant, Jack learns a chilling truth: the villagers' forebears summoned the creature, sacrificing lives for temporary peace. Jack knows the Revenant is no legend as his broadcast plans come apart—equipment breaking down, figures haunting the abandoned town hall. It's alive. And it's hungry. Halloween night, Jack's live broadcast, and the town's suppressed transgressions boil over. The listeners are overwhelmed by shrieked voices through static images of their worst regrets. Cornered in the hall with the Revenant's claws around his throat, Jack is presented with a terrible decision: die to shatter the cycle or escape, dooming Millhaven to perpetual suffering. But the Revenant has an endless hunger, and Jack's broadcast—a twisted, repeating scream—could have released the curse into the world. A terrifying investigation of guilt, complicity, and the price of truth, The Last Broadcast poses the question: What if the things we bury never die? And what if the horror we dread most is the horror we've already become?

Weeping Dawn

Weeping Dawn is my love letter to Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung, and Fredrick Nietzsche. The story explores the relationship between individual autonomy and divine will, and how the tension between these two forces tears at the very heartstrings of human existence. Thus the seer on the mountain Declared “from The moment there was a spoken word, man declared war against his mother, Nature, tearing down her forests, uprooting her gardens, and ripping mountains and stone from the earth in an attempt to make her in his image. And now that he has conquered Nature, his hubris declares war against his father, the Spirit. All in the name of Progress – a mistress who cares for no one except for the one married to her last. And many men have conjoined themselves with such a mistress. He constructs abominations to pacify himself, to reduce himself to the state of an infant with drugs like opium and hashish. And now that he has conquered his father, he sets his aims on himself” This encapsulates what Catalyst Of The Divine is about and it pushes this perspective as deep as it can go. It explores man's relationship with order and chaos, a force that has many faces: Masculine vs feminine, left vs right, separation vs synthesis , man vs nature ,the divine vs the devil , and with us as humans caught between the two. And in this story we explore an empire that had long reached the height of power now subject to the paradox of man the clergy desperately attempting to alter human nature through experimentation. While the Merchants are attempting to usurp power from the crown to monopolize the peasants. Between this struggle there is the nobility who once protected the people and had their backs turned on them. Amidst all of this, we follow several lost souls trying to make sense of the world; By sticking to their principles, even when the world doesn't reward it…..all in the palm of whatever eldritch horrors await them beyond the veil
