I certainly do not pair my stories, or myself, with some of the bigger authors here, but I have been pretty well received with what I write.

Coexistence, The Truth of Fear, Sentient Existence, and Non-existence, were all based off of real life Paranoia issues, and questions we tend to have towards death.

16 Psyche was thought after a talk about the Annunaki.

Seasonal Hunters is my retelling of a pretty massively known urban legend/cliche.

Deyja, whilst listening to Falkebach, and reading up on the Chrisitanization of Scandinavia. Anti-Christianity.

Flagellation, disliking for Christianity and other Abrahamic faiths.

Enlightenment of a War Machine and Speak the Truth, again, Anti-Christianity/my views towards the Bible.

New World Order, Anti-Christianity.

Tabula Rasa, the concept that nothing is created without knowledge. Hence why it is named after that concept. 1950's style science fiction.

[[Shattered Glass], abusing a common phobia.

In Torment: Excubia, In Torment, In Torment in Hell, and [[In Torment III}, (along with the upcoming In Torment 4 and Oceanic), have been in my head for a while. My own series, that has inspirations from many sources and fears.

The Night Man, the newest, and first chronological story in the In Torment series, was inspired and made in honor of Blacknumber1, the creator, or at least the one to make the first good version, of the Pasta Noir genre.
