Story Project
Welcome!
Hello! My name is Paul, and I write Sci-Fi/Action as a hobby and occasionally do story related illustration. I've got a finished short story, ABERRANT and a much larger in-progress project called SOULLESS, both of which may be found via the tabs above.
You may also find bits and peices of this project posted on Sheezy.art, deviantART, Pixiv, and other places on the web, usually under some variant of either "Phoenix042x" or "Sentient Aberration." There is still a lot to do with this page, development-wise. I'm working on that as time permits!

Long Overdue Page Refresh, New Content
De-cluttered page; brought "Welcome" and news section out of dedicated section that was getting in the way of actual content and placed it here. "About" section was cringe. Moved necessary content (credits) from there to links in footer.
A story revision has taken place and new chapters are being written.
[2024.09.12] - Fatherhood Get
Development progress temporarily hindered.
I became a father on the 6th of September.
This project has been under the spectre of a looming childbirth nearly since I set out on it. I do not intend to allow this to stop the project entirely, but I anticipated a hiatus in October... when my first born son was supposed to be due. Well... he ended up showing up an entire month early.
I'm going to limp along to the stopping point I had initially planned somehow (chapter 15-ish) and then begin that hiatus, which I suspect will take a few months. This will allow me to plan out the next arc of SOULLESS and get some supplemental artwork done.

Short Story: ABERRANT
Aberrant (n) also: “Aberration”
An Artificial Intelligence system which has, within the confines of its own programming, managed to act in a harmful or dangerous way unintended and unforeseen by its designers. Specifically, an AI application which is acting logically and within its design to the best of its ability. The unintended behavior is entirely due to human incompetence.
Project Phoenix: SOULLESS
A draconic creature wakes up in a laboratory with no memory of his past and is soon thrust unexpectedly into an unfamiliar world with no identity, purpose, or explanation. Before long, the circumstances of his escape and very existence begin to appear suspicious, leading to a fight for survival against his apparent creators who are out to tie up their "loose-end".
