The first hints of spring bring with it the Corruption – an anomaly of strange sightings and missing corpses.... more>>

Shu Haize really isn’t interested, but what was supposed to be a short excursion to locate his only friend has led to something he never signed up for. He wants to escape its grasps – wherever it's confining him – so he’s walking, roaming, heading nowhere in particular but he’s moving, letting loose in the adrenaline of battle.

There’s a cemetery of stars tonight. Shu has never had any affinity to stargazing so when he looks up, he’s hollow and lost in its immensity. Then he’s finding companions, all of them unfamiliar, and one in the form of raven hair and amused amber eyes.

“Hello?” His lips curve. “What a coincidence.” <<less

And what do you do when there isn’t really anything you want to say to anyone?

Who would you even address it to?

Well, I just had a creative spark for what I’d say. And I might share this on my social media someday…
Sure I haven’t checked my social media accounts for years but if I post something, at least someone might see it sometime, right?

|WATTPAD FEATURED| A rainy day encourages Teuila's father to take her out on the Oceania, but what will happen when their boat flips, and they're left stranded in the Atlantic Ocean?... more>>

***

Teuila just wanted a peaceful summer break, after her first year at College of Charleston. However, peace in her family never happens with her father's sailing blood. As an attempt to grow closer to his little girl, he takes her out on the family's Laser, the Oceania, on a rainy day that mimics a special one nineteen years earlier.

When the Oceania flips and leaves father and daughter stranded in the Atlantic Ocean, they must work together to return to shore, without the buff lifeguard girls running out to rescue them. Teuila has to see past her father's sailing personality and find the one she grew up with, before she and her parents ran aground in the Charleston Harbor.

With the help of the current, love, and just a little bit of imagination, Teuila and her dad's fight for survival becomes nothing more than a mere Disney Channel movie. Not only that, but Teuila learns a secret-the truth behind why she carries such an unusual name.

I knew every entry in RationalWiki. And none of them were enough to face what I was about to face. I thought I had it all figured out. I had a method. A scientific method!

This story is based on the french-speaking skeptic community (the zétéciens), which is slightly less alt-righty than the english-speaking one, but it's still riddled with smugness and weird controversies. There will be none of that here, just a nerdy teen who love saying the word "bias" and mistakes debates for world-ending threats. <<less
