Each is written with an enormous amount of love poured into one simple belief: That from time to time life is rife with absurdity, and so too is a great imagination. This very belief is in the author's humble opinion, what sees the flourishing success of the comedy in all sorts of entertainment— from primetime Sunday night entertainment that we loved to watch in the '90s and 2000s, to the hilarious summer blockbuster comedy movies we see today, and even to the world of internet social media memes. With this earnest belief and heartfelt love letter sent jointly to comedy and storytelling, you are welcomed to a world of silly and absurd stories that are nothing less than imaginative and full of life. What sorts of stories can you expect to find inside, you wonder? Only stories that wouldn't possibly exist anywhere else, but in the land of the absurd! From the world in which a man from London challenges all of Japan to a competitive match of Hokey-Pokey, to a world in which a banana works at an insurance agency by day and fights as a ninja by night, there's bound to be plenty of laughs to be had as the stories unfold.

“They are beauty beyond words and terror beyond reason. In their light, souls are cleansed; in their shadow, worlds are undone. They bless with a touch and destroy with a glance. To worship them is to invite salvation and doom alike, for they are justice without mercy, power without limit, and existence without end. Mortal hands may build temples in their name, but no prayer can soften their gaze. Kneel, not in hope—but in fear." — Aetherion 6:8 Have you ever wondered if Gods exist or if they are just a figment of humanity's imagination for hope? If they exist and aren't just a figment of our imagination, are they benevolent and merciful, or are they indifferent to our sufferings? Arohan, an atheist despised the concept of religion and Gods because of his parent's death.

Everything changed when he faced two choices: save himself or save the world!

When a routine call turns into a deadly ambush, Luke and Ghost find themselves entangled in a dangerous conspiracy that stretches deep into the criminal underworld. As they hunt for answers, old wounds resurface—ghosts of the past Luke thought he had buried. With every step closer to the truth, the stakes rise, putting not only their lives on the line but also those of the people Luke swore to protect—including his wife, Isabella. Outnumbered and outgunned, Luke and Ghost must rely on their unbreakable bond to survive. But in a world where loyalty is rare and justice is never guaranteed, one question remains: How far will a guardian go to protect his own?
