Quiet In The Office

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 Million Beginnings, One Quiet Ending

[WSA 2025 ENTRY] I've revamped this book multiple times, trying to get it to be where I want. Asher Blackwood has died 999,999 times, each life ending in tragedy, triumph, or torment. But his one-millionth life was different. That life was brutally cut short by forces beyond his control, forcing him into an unexpected reincarnation. Now, thrust into a new existence, Asher finds himself hunted by demons, challenged by the ruthless Lords of Hell, and trained by enigmatic demigods who see him as both a weapon and a pawn in a cosmic war. Asher’s journey is no longer just about breaking the cycle of rebirth—it’s about survival. Armed with the skills and knowledge of a million lifetimes, he must navigate a treacherous landscape where the lines between ally and enemy blur. The demigods who train him demand loyalty, but their motives are shrouded in secrecy. The demons who pursue him seek to claim his soul for their own dark purposes. And the Lords of Hell, ancient and merciless, view Asher as the key to tipping the balance of power in their favor. As Asher battles his way through hellscapes and mortal realms alike, he begins to uncover the truth about his curse: it was never just about him. His endless reincarnations are tied to a prophecy that could either save or doom all of existence. With each step closer to the truth, Asher must confront the darkest corners of his own soul and decide whether he will embrace his destiny or defy it. Discord @: https://discord.gg/CTt4KzYp
