I never did anything in my life that made me happy.
I wasn’t married and I didn’t have kids.
I was a drunk.
A nobody to society. I guess.
But as I heard the screams next door, I knew…
I knew my moments were running short.
I couldn’t scale off time.
There were no clocks in sight.
I was shocked to see around me.
They had stitched my lips shut.
I should’ve just went home.
I should’ve skipped the bar for once.
Who knows where I would have been then.
This dungeon cell was cold.
I was kept only with my underwear.
I wondered what the woman did in the other room, to be caught.
What was her life before?
Her ongoing screams didn’t tell me nothing.
The men in robes chose her over me.
I wish they would have gotten my ending over with.
Story under my 2nd pen name: Kamari L.
Author’s Notes: Kamari L. will be the pen name I go exclusive with Amazon with. I want to fit in the world of kindle as well. the best benefits for kindle, is to write for the kindle unlimited market — where tons of users already have monthly subscriptions.
This model will allow my work to be completely free to users, and give them instant access to anything I publish — DAY ONE. A market that I have been neglecting for some time now, misunderstanding that there are readers who crave literature…over there as well.
Keep benching all those guys In your inbox, baby Imma do nothing but reward you When all is said and done

Your First (Outerlude) I swear on my heart, I want to be the first of your everything I want to be the first one to never leave you The first one to wake up in the morning, searching for you The first one to notice when you can’t sleep at night The first one to calm you down with kisses on your chest The first one to catch your tears in my hand *** I want to be the first to explore your imagination
My 4-part mini poetry series, Empath, is available now on Amazon. Still under my pen name, Sakari Lacross, this is a wide pen name — so there is no exclusivity.
The book is available now for 99 cents, with 60 pages of content. Poems that continue to grip at different sections of the heart.
His massive dragonish wings break the line of sight of the moon. Autumn’s monster form levitates in the sky.
Connor steps forward, ready to face his elder brother and make up for his mistakes in the past. His eyes radiate with a center purple.
Autumn roars into his brother’s direction, raising his massive claw shortly after. In the palm of its hand, the creature gathers a massive orb of dark energy.
The darkened purple orb of destruction is slung out of the obelisk’s hand, drowning the air around it as it comes towards Connor and Jolyn with full force. Jolyn readies her black flames, but Connor uses his powers instead to turn into a thickened black form of mist.
Swirls of what used to be Connor, meet the large orb of dark energy. The black mist quickly expands around the orb, creating a vortex that pushes the orb and itself into the large fiend. A short explosion goes off, creating large waves of destructive winds in the process.
Jolyn braces for the strong aftermath, as she bends her legs and guards her face with her arms. The fire that was once ignited on her, is now gone.
Two images descend from the sky, these figures being Connor and Autumn. They exchange shots as they fall headfirst, with Connor landing a strong double punch to Autumn’s face, before belches out a dark energy stream that hits Connor in the chest, launching him yards away from Autumn before the two slam into the city’s river.
Shrouds of swirling black mist break out of the large body of water, meeting Autumn just as he catapults out the water and back into the air. Autumn grows a set of demonic black wings without having to fully transform this time, choosing to slam himself right into the black mist upon seeing it.
The mist quickly converts back into the physical form of Connor, with Connor coming out of his mist form, right into a punch in the face. Autumn follows this up with an instant dark orb to the chest, breaking Connor back through the air and sending him crashing into the doc’s housing unit, behind Jolyn.
Jolyn screams for him.
JOLYN: Connor!!
She runs into his direction, but is stopped when a dark orb speeds into the small housing unit before she can reach him. The orb explodes on impact, destroying the unit and launching Jolyn backwards through the night air.
Autumn catches her just as he descends back on the docks, grabbing her back with one hand, only to revert and slam her into the ground, back first. He then places his foot on her neck, as the hard surface around her, suffers from a series of cracks.
Autumn cocks his right hand back in the air, allowing it to extend with massive fiend-like claws. He looks down at his target, watching as she struggles to removes his foot from her throat as she is now nearly planted into the ground.
AUTUMN: I won’t allow some girl to come in between me and my younger brother.
Autumn’s tone doesn’t change. He still is nearly emotionless when he speaks, giving off a soft-spoken voice in the process.
AUTUMN: I’ll straighten him out after this, just as I have done before. You’ll simply be another memory for us to have to deal with.
Jolyn struggles to the point of forming tears in her eyes. She quickly ignites her powers, readying flames that she was uncertain would do anything. But before either of them could make the next move, a fast spear shoots through the air and takes a chunk out of Autumn’s chest, nearly hitting his heart.
Author’s Notes: This is going to be the first episodic series that I actually launch. It’s going to be 6 episodes deep, with each episode being 30 pages a piece.
It will be launched across multiple publishing platforms (Apple Books, Barnes & Noble and Kobo, to name a few). These episodes will be free for all readers, no strings attached. The goal is to give readers an actual choice, as a compilation edition will be released afterwards, with an option of purchase.
The compilation edition will be all the episodes in one physical copy, plus more book content that can only be obtained in the compilation edition. Again, this will truly be the choice of the reader, as not gaining the compilation edition, will not hinder you from future seasons.
The compilation edition is mainly for those who are truly immersed into the universe of the series and want more before the next season’s rollout.

SETTING: BRIGHT RED SPACE — TIMING UNKNOWN
A twenty-six-year-old woman by the name of May, stands in the center of a red plane. An open space of nothingness.
Surrounding her, a group of people stand in a mindless matter, with their faces stuck in the sky above. May is confused as to what is going on.
She doesn’t say anything, just waiting to see what’s going to happen next. She doesn’t move, only spinning her head in different directions as the bodies stand around her, still not forming any human actions.
May conjures the courage to move first, barely reaching a hand out to a motionless man in front of her, before…
His body suddenly suffers a large gash across his neck and shoulder. This gash nearly splits the man down the middle, before fountains of blood sprout out the stranger, and his body drops to the ground.
May gasps.
Withdrawing her hand, the blood gets on her, following a sequence of sudden deaths happening to the other mindless people around her. One by one, the others are cut down, with their blood raining on her as well.
May’s anxiety builds, as she turns in every direction to see all of this. With no killer in sight, she screams.

INT. MAY’S BEDROOM — NIGHTFALL
May wakes up in her room. A nightmare is what she realizes had happened, as she looks down into her hands, before covering her face with them.
She speaks to herself.
MAY: Get a grip May.
INT. FRONT ROOM — MORNING
Morning comes around and May enters the front room of her two-bedroom apartment. Seeing her younger sister sitting at the dining room table, Clarissa, is already having breakfast.
Clarissa immediately notices her big sister.
CLARISSA: You look like crap.
MAY: I feel like it too.
May opens the fridge before closing it right back up.
MAY: I guess I have to go shopping.
CLARISSA: What do you mean — there’s plenty to eat in there.
MAY: Yeah, but there’s nothing I want.
May leans on the kitchen counter, now carrying a strong thinking face.
CLARISSA: It’s safe to assume that last night you didn’t sleep well either?
May nods.
MAY: It’s going on six days now that I’ve barely been able to get a lick of real sleep.
CLARISSA: Wanna talk about it?
May shrugs her shoulders.
MAY: What is there to talk about?
CLARISSA: Your past. That has to be what is bothering you.
May thinks shortly into this.
MAY: I’m not sure anymore.
May looks at the watch on her wrist.
MAY: I picked up an extra client though, so I guess I’ll get ready for that.
May grabs her backpack and her keys and heads for the front door.
MAY: I’m skipping breakfast today. I’ll be going to the grocery store later. Just send me a list if you want something.
Clarissa nods, stuffing her mouth with more of her bagel. The sound of the front door closing is heard in Clarissa’s background.

INT. CAFÉ — MORNING
May sits down at a table by herself, opening her laptop. The café is semi empty, with only a handful of workers at the front.
May gets a nice view out the window, before a video chat request comes in on her laptop. May accepts.
Appearing on the screen, is her friend Zeon, a man who’s thirty-one years of age.
ZEON: Catch you at a bad time?
MAY: I wouldn’t say that. But I do have a meeting in a few minutes, so I can’t be on here long with you. Why, what’s up?
ZEON: Well, I haven’t heard from you in a few days. I was starting to worry.
MAY: Sorry. I’ve just been in my head a lot.
ZEON: Still aren’t sleeping?
MAY: Not really.
May rests her head on her fists.
MAY: Shit sucks. Feels like I’m falling apart, but I don’t know why.
ZEON: May, do you need –
MAY: I’m fine. I’m fine.
May ruffles her hair with both of her hands.
MAY: My sister is keeping me tons of company. She’s keeping me mentally together, so I don’t feel like I’m going to fall over the edge.
Zeon sighs.
ZEON: Ok. But before you go, I need to ask you one more thing. Have you…experienced anything weird?
MAY: Weird? No. I’ve been keeping low.
ZEON: Alright. Stay alert. Even though it’s been five years, you don’t want to chance making a single mistake. They could still be watching.
MAY: Yeah. I expect that.
ZEON: I’ll check back in with you in a few days.
May nods and the video chat ends. She sighs and sinks her head into her arms that she folds on the table.

INT. CAFÉ (HOURS LATER) — EVENING
The café is now empty, and the workers are starting to clean up. May sighs and closes her laptop, packing up shortly after.
She speaks to herself.
MAY: I need a break.
EXT. LOCAL STREET — EVENING
May leaves the café and heads down the street. The streets are empty, with cars not even coming down the way.
MAY: I could get used to this peacefulness. I don’t really see this nowadays. It’s usually noisy as fuck down this way.
EXT. RIVERBANK. PARK — EVENING
May moves alongside the local Riverbank Park. Here, there isn’t anyone in sight as well. This raises an eyebrow to her.
MAY: Ok, now something isn’t right.
May moves her head back and forth, checking her surroundings carefully.
MAY: People are normally here. There’s just no way that not a single person or vehicle has been seen, and I’ve walked several blocks now, near the main road. Especially at the park around this time.
May comes to a sudden stop. Upon feeling a disturbing chill, she slowly turns around.
She’s been on the run from the League for five years now. She maintains as quiet of a life as possible. With that being said, twenty-six-year-old May, is being tracked down by a faction of assassins, who have the ability to dispose of their targets, by murdering them in their dreams. Using what they call, “Dream Magic,” May has to face manipulated nightmares, with death by dream, being death foreal.
