I'm a writer deeply interested in the fragility of society, the corrupting nature of power, and the erosion of human ideals. My stories often explore dystopian worlds, alternate futures, and historical fiction, delving into the complexities of individuals caught in both internal and external conflicts. I write about characters who begin with noble intentions but are gradually consumed by corruption, obsession, or madness. Blending surrealism, psychological horror, and philosophical themes, my work examines loss, identity, and the consequences of our choices. While much of my writing is dark and introspective, I do occasionally explore lighter, more light-hearted themes, offering a contrast to the darker undertones. Through my prose, I aim to evoke introspection and unease, challenging readers to reconsider their perceptions of self and society.
