I wrote A Thing™️ that's nasty, sweaty, gross, and horny. It's called MONITORED ACTIVITY, a novella about a security guard who's turned on about his boss being a serial killer. (Among other things.)

Super rad neon green text that reads MONITORED ACTIVITY. In less rad green text: A Y2K Techno-horror. The background is a blurry image of a person walking across a mall hallways. The date 10/21/2001 is faint in the corner. A project summary that reads: New Millennium, new state of the art security system. Shoppers at Prime Plaza can now spend their time and money with newfound peace of mind. The same can’t be said for the mall’s employees. Hallucinations of missing girls and impossible hallways haunt his every shift. Visions of bloated bodies vomiting sand, and violent indiscretions orchestrated by management makes the security guard equal parts sick and turned on. But Shaw is no stranger to shame, and there is no serial killer, haunting, or alien organism that can stop him from getting what he wants: PTO, and in his boss’ pants. Feels like: At The End of Every Day by Arianna Reiche, House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewsky, Willy's Wonderland, V/H/S, Killer Frequency, Backrooms: Escape Together Launching November 12th, 2005. Each sentence is highlighted with a red check mark: Trans Guy Protagonist Who’s a Final “Girl”, A “Straight” Serial Killer, Serial Killer/Potential Victim, That Age Range Is Questionable But There Are Bigger Problems Here, Haunted Security Systems, 90s/00s Nostalgia (Derogatory), Visions Of A Hell Dimension That Are Too Sexy, The Mall’s Alive And Wants To Eat People. The bottom of the graphic contains the logos for the mentioned group and platform: The Book Bazaar on Backerkit.

Baby's first #SLUDGEPIT? Ayo. Let's talk about my upcoming novella, MONITORED ACTIVITY.

📼 Sentient malls
📼 Serial killer/Final 'Girl'
📼 80s through 00s nostalgia (derogatory)
📼 MC [🏳️‍⚧️&🏳️‍🌈] is more than a little fucked up.
📼 Aliens...? Cults???
📼 "That should NOT be a kink, dude. JFC."

#WIP #H #D
A three by three image mood board that has a long underground hallway without end, a lit up skeeball machine, the back light of a car with a metal plate that says 2000, a brutalist structure, a sandy beach, a hand gripping someone else's forearm, a screen filled with lines of green code, blood on white tile with a hand doing the sign of the horns and a pair of white sneakers almost out of frame, and a single illuminated escalator in a dark room. In neon green text are the words Monitored Activity, Horror, Sci-fi, Unficion, @Astramachina. The overall background is a glitchy mess in tones of dark blues and purples. MONITORED ACTIVITY: A state-of-the-art security system arrives with the New Millennium, and shoppers at Prime Plaza can now spend their time and hard earned money with newfound peace of mind. That same luxury doesn’t extend to the mall’s employees. Hallucinations of missing girls and impossible hallways haunt Shaw's every shift. Footage of bloated corpses vomiting sand, violent indiscretions committed by management, and a hell-dimension of perverse delights makes the security guard equal parts sick and turned on. It’s a good thing that Shaw is impervious to shame. There is no serial killer, haunting, or starved alien life-form that can stop him from getting what he wants: PTO, and in his boss' pants. The overall background is a glitchy mess in tones of dark blues and purples. Two rough black and white sketches in the form of Polaroids. The one labeled Shaw Price '01 is of a young man with dark eyes and eyebrows, long hair tied back in a ponytail, he looks cocky and gay. The one labeled Eddie Conners 2001 is of a basic looking middle-aged man with short hair, serial killer glasses, and bags under his pale eyes. The entire graphic is covered with 2000s style sticker decorations: a glitter heart, a glitter star, a CD, and a swoopy star circle in neon green. The overall background is a glitchy mess in tones of dark blues and purples. In bright green text: Nov. 12, sentient malls, nostalgia-bait, final "guy", sexy hell dimensions, getting off on company time, t!m/c!m, evil DILF propaganda, everyone's an asshole, serial killer/potential victim. At the center of the graphic is the book cover for Monitored Activity by Mitch Miller: a mostly purple background with gltched out CRT monitors, and a banner on the bottom that says Welcome to the night shift. The graphic's overall background is a glitchy mess in tones of dark blues and purples.

Jumping on the "fauxflix" #TheBookBazaar25 promo bandwagon.

Since I was already working on a 'little' something for MonAct, figured I'd get flashy with it.

I will not make a gayming joke.

Oops.

(This one's a little cartoonier than usual and has almost no background, woohoo. Just 'cause I had to literally speedrun it before August disappeared, otherwise I would have totally complicated it up some more. 😇)
A NSFW illustration of two women gaming on a couch. In theory they are having sex. The woman on the left-side has short black hair with a purple streak, is wearing a black hoodie with purple leggings, and is gaming while having a silly look on their face. The woman on the right-side has dyed lavender hair, and is wearing a dark blue hoodie, and is technically eating out the other woman but is distracted by the awesome gaming going on. The End.

Reasons why you WON'T like my next book, Monitored Activity:

💾 🏳️‍⚧️ MC
💾 Everyone(ish) is queer
💾 Evil guy is, unfortunately, a 10
💾 Y2K nostalgia-bait
💾 They're [REDACTED] in the mall's flesh pit
💾 Sex in a horror movie gets you killed? ← The opposite of this.
💾 It'll make you feel hella gross.

• One serial killer
• One Final Boy
• A hungry mall
• An ever-watching state-of-the-art security system
• And management? Planning the next employee pizza party.

Keep an 👁️ out and trust no man in uniform.

✨ Succulent Saturday #8: Pinball, is now up on Patreon.

Totally unrelated, but anyone remember that one scene in Willy's Wonderland where Nic Cage fucks a pinball machine? Asking for no reason.

$3 gets you access to 7 other smutty shorts, and more every Saturday!

a retro-looking graphic. the white text reads: high-heart shorts every Saturday. at the center is a box with black overlayed text that reads: Succulent Saturday. a saucy little stick figure is hanging out in the corner. the last bit of text reads: patreon.com/astramachina

One away from 40, baby. 👀

Did I mention that if you sign up you get instant access to a free horror* short you can download and stuff into your favorite e-reader?

*Horror with a bit of sci-fi that is also T4T and gay af.

.... There's also cannibalism as a love language if you're into that.

Let's be clear. We're dealing with a new surveillance—I mean, SECURITY system that:

• Causes hallucinations, paranoia, and 'heightened physical responses'
• Invents issues to report
• Let's you glimpse into a perverse hell-dimension?

Huh. Keep an 👁 out. Sign up.

ADHD is when you have to “pay attention” but you can’t “pay,” because you’re broke. But, on the plus side, you have a million dollars in gift cards to the one thing you feel like doing.

MONITORED ACTIVITY is one of those projects that online folks are like "we can't let the normies see this", so I'm taking matters into my own hands.

I'm gonna try something real quick here, tho. An experiment, if you will.

It's Y2K, the mall might be eating people, but Shaw is too busy being a gay transman obsessed with getting in his boss' pants. His boss who is totally a serial killer. Like, Shaw literally saw him kill on the monitors.

That isn't a deal-breaker, though.

This one's for the fucked-up shit enjoyers.
