About the author

Imagine what it would be like if the world was whatever you wanted it to be. Now try to make it happen. Oh… right, we can't do that. It’s okay let’s just make our own world, shall we? Start from scratch. I have a plethora of ideas. Will you join me?


Allay Rei

Fantasy and fiction are my preferred genres, but I can never be contained within one genre. I love going meta with my writing and causing people to rethink their entire existences. It's my favourite.
Outside of writing, I do my fair share of art, gaming, and (of course) reading. To who it may interest, I also have a penchant for collecting shiny pebbles and taking mirror pics in any cute empty bathroom.
I have no books of my own out (yet) but rest assured I have a ton of works in progress and a mountain of ambition. If you're curious, though, my writing has been featured alongside other talented writers in a couple anthologies that you may view here!

Grey Areas

"It’s obnoxious, you know, when people tie restraints too tightly. Tells me you don’t know how to secure a knot properly."
“I would like for you to provide me with as many bodies as my experiments require."
"That's vile."
"You are an assassin. You too, are vile."

Meetings at Realm Borders

“Do you believe in ghosts?” Celeste asks, bursting Ash’s thoughts.
“God! Aren’t you supposed to be reading papers? No, I don’t believe in ghosts.”
“I used to not,” Celeste starts, “but only three months working here, and I think I’m starting to.” She looks around, grin on her face. “I kind of like it. It’s not like a scary thing for me, you know?”

You’re a painter, aren’t you?
Say everyone has the same tube of crimson red paint. If you were to mix your red paint with someone else’s red paint then the colour would stay the same.
But mine is, uh, well, it says “crimson red paint” on the tube, but, um, it’s a different brand, so the shade isn’t quite the same. It’s still red though and it’s the same quality, but it’s not quite the crimson red you’re used to… and if we were to… mix our paints together then it wouldn’t be— it would look different to when others mix theirs.
but I’m willing to give you my entire tube of crimson red paint if you’re okay with the fact that it’s a different shade.
