Kowloon Walled City, 1984
The year is 1984. In the heart of Hong Kong, Kowloon Walled City seethes with human passions, both good and evil. Not a single ray of light penetrates this fortress of hope and despair. This is a lost, illicit city filled to bursting with shady businessmen, drug dealers, junk shops, and desperate gamblers seeking an avenue for one last thrill. It is said that the police do not dare to enter. Whether this is true or not remains a mystery. Fang, a heroin slinger and a brother of the 14K, becomes a marked man beneath the roars of the crowd, fists bloodied. The love of his life stands between him and his glory, a choice that may never be reconciled. The Siu Nin a Fu, an annual martial arts tournament calling the very best warriors from across the globe to the depths of Kowloon Walled City, is about to take place. Buried in liquor, needles, and smoke, Fang's future is about to take flight. Take a step into the black tapestry of the past, where ghosts walk the dim, decrepit alleys as if neon still fell upon their defeated shoulders. Kowloon Walled City, 1984. A shredded memory of a living, breathing entity that once was... and is no longer.
Cavern: City in the Dark
Deep beneath the scarred and scorched surface of the Earth, the last of us remain. The Cavern is deep, dark, and damp. The city is busy, expansive, industrious. Technology has been salvaged, scavenged from the surface, and repurposed to a new fashion. Survival comes in the form of the shunt, drilled deep into the skull. A device that takes all the pain away, and lays it on the shoulders of one poor soul. The Sufferer. An old man, dying beneath the tree of tears. And when his heart breaks, it will spell doom for us all. Coal worms, flashing hooks in hand. Demons, beasts, and the threat of the undead. Shadows stalking the surface, and in the unseen shadows of the cavern city. Motors revving in high-gear, slicing across the Megapass. Revenge in all of its forms. Ancient martial arts wrestle with modern weaponry. Restless spirits seek change and a personal truth. A revolution of blood and honour begins to unravel. Cavern. The city in the dark. The last gasp. A fading light. Visit the shadow of our glory.

Narrative, Nature, and the 'Cock' and 'Bull' Story: The Lockean Tristram Shandy and the Modern Novel
Laurence Sterne’s Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman (1760) is one of the first English novels to stray from such classical literary guidelines as those outlined in Aristotle’s profoundly influential Poetics which, until this time, have traditionally governed the style of poetic and dramatic, but also prose compositions. With reference to John Locke’s Essay Concerning Human Understanding, this paper will explore how this deviation leads Tristram, in the series of events stemming from his birth, to a more precise imitation of nature than, perhaps, adherence to these guidelines could have procured.
Arcade Rat: A Dystopian Techno-Thriller
