The Tales of Aerym
A sword and sorcery adventure with both humorous and dark undertones
Memories of Tomorrow
The Tales of Aerym, Book One
For years, Aerym has felt that he was cursed, as if his very being was wrong. Some say that seeing isn’t always believing, but for Aerym, however, nothing could be farther from the truth. Fated to a life of catastrophe and ruin, the visions that plague Aerym's sleep always realize themselves, even when they depict his loved ones dying gruesome deaths before his eyes.
Now, years after he watched everyone and everything he had ever known burn to ash, Aerym finds himself with his sole remaining companion, Jasper. Lost and without purpose, they bide their time until the inevitable comes; when Aerym is warned of their imminent demise... Yet even now he doubts if he's strong enough to combat what's to come.
With little hope left for him and his friend, Aerym resigns to go far to the south, to the lands where magic is as common as war. To where he might get answers, and, if he's lucky, strength enough to gain control of his own life.
Memories and prophecies guide them on their path to salvation, but the past lies, and the future speaks only in tragedies.
Is it truly a blessing to know what's coming even if you're powerless to stop it?

THE FLAMES THAT BIND US
A Tales of Aerym Novella
​To Aerym, the future contained foraging in the woods around his village, passing the time beneath great boughs of towering pines and bounding over moss-laden ground underfoot. Well, not anymore. For Aerym is visited in the night by a strange premonition, warning him of a fire so great it will burn his entire village to the ground and everyone along with it.
​
The only problem? Who is going to believe a nine year old boy who spends more time in the deep forest than with kids his own age? With his work cut out for him, Aerym fights to prevent the fires from consuming all that he knows and loves. But time is not on his side, and nobody else is, for that matter.
​
What is a dream, if not a sign of what is yet to come?

Handed a uniform, a set of mail, and an arquebus, Emile was shipped across the Inland Sea to fight on the frontlines. Yet war is bloodier than he thought, and far, far less noble.

A speculative Fiction story of Life and Death in Incorporeal Tokyo
Hifumi Kimura, aged forty-three, was wrongfully convicted of a crime he did not commit and sentenced to death for it. His dying wish? To be the first person to die in the new year. Yet there he sat, in the Meguro Ward Office’s Registry of the Newly Deceased, with two written on his number slip. And so Hifumi died as he lived; without a single accomplishment to look back on and completely devoid of a say in his own existence.
Torn between finding his family’s killer and taking out resentment built up over decades of anguish and planning on the sole person to die before him this year, Hifumi journeys through an incorporeal Tokyo to quench his enraged heart.
Departed souls both old and new guide him on his travels, offering insight into Hifumi's life—and death—that he does not wish to hear. The deceased have no need for a purpose in life, after all, so what good is there in making peace when you're already dead?
