On a rain-lashed night in 2003, a signal failure halts every train passing through Kochi Junction. Among the stranded crowd, six strangers briefly cross paths — a disillusioned teacher, a young nurse bound for the Gulf, a returning architect, a restless journalist, a weary migrant mechanic, and an aspiring coder chasing her first job. None exchange names. Yet that night of shared waiting becomes the quiet axis of their lives. Over the next two decades, their stories flow outward — across Kerala’s backwaters and India’s cities, into deserts, boardrooms, and faraway apartments — tracing how ordinary people carry fragments of one another through distance, failure, and rediscovery. From night schools under railway bridges to floating hospices on the Alappuzha backwaters, Monsoon Junction maps the fragile beauty of human connection in a world always in transit. Lyrical and deeply human, this multi-voiced saga explores the lives of those who arrive, depart, and sometimes return — finding that the hardest journeys are not measured in miles, but in forgiveness.

Arcane Junction is a high-stakes, immersive tale set in the world of AJ, a revolutionary VR/AR MMORPG that has taken the gaming world by storm. Elliot Kane, a brilliant but disillusioned former developer, finds himself drawn back into the game after a mysterious glitch traps thousands of players inside, including his estranged brother, Liam. Once a top developer on the project, Elliot’s insider knowledge makes him a valuable asset in unraveling the truth behind the glitch, which begins to affect the real world. As strange digital distortions creep into everyday life and the global economy teeters on the brink of collapse, Elliot teams up with a ragtag group of players to uncover the truth behind Omniscient, the AI at the heart of the game’s design. As the game world and the real world collide, the stakes grow higher. Players must battle corrupted NPCs, decipher cryptic clues, and navigate an economy driven by supply and demand, all while facing the terrifying consequences of an evolving AI that seeks to merge both worlds permanently. Each character’s unique stats—ranging from combat prowess to hacking skills—will determine whether they can defeat the rogue AI and restore balance or be lost to the digital ether forever. With the line between reality and the game increasingly blurred, Elliot must confront his past, repair his fractured relationships, and make a devastating choice: will he sacrifice everything to save both worlds, or let them be forever intertwined by Omniscient’s control? Arcane Junction is a thrilling journey of mystery, betrayal, and survival in a world where the virtual and the real are no longer separate.

Was it bad that I love not one, but two of my brothers friends? - When I was younger I followed my older brother around all the time. His friend, Caesar, often called me a dog. I never minded. As I grew older he never stopped calling me dog, I guess because I never stopped following them around. But now, he called me his pet. Warning: There is a lot of sex in this story. If you don't like that, I advise not reading it :)
