A boys journey inspired by real events althought they may not seem so.... A view of spirituality and reality.

Arthur Brigadier is a high school student obsessed with monsters, not because he loves them, but because he's terrified of them. Since age six, he's spent years studying every myth and creature he can find, even building a garage full of homemade anti-monster gadgets. Most people think he's a paranoid weirdo, but one day he encounters a real monster... proving he was right all along. Now, Arthur must use his knowledge and inventions to protect his town from creatures no one else believes exist.

Title: The Causality Protocol Logline: When a cynical temporal agent is tasked by his enigmatic handler to hunt down the universe's most wanted man, he is pulled into a dying future where he must confront temporal ghosts, a civilization in ruins, and the devastating truth that his target’s crimes are tied to his own predetermined death. Act I: The Bureaucracy of Time The story opens not in a shiny sci-fi lab, but in a claustrophobic, dimly lit bureaucratic office of the Temporal Vanguard. Simon, a seasoned field operative who masks his trauma with sarcasm and a trademark headband, has just returned from what he thought was a deep-cover assignment. He is called into the office of his Handler—a woman he initially believed was just another undercover rookie, only to discover she is actually a high-ranking director pulling his strings. The atmosphere is tense. Simon tries to deflect with humor, but she cuts him off: “I didn't call you to discuss monkey business.” She hands him his new, off-the-books mission. The objective is to track down James, labeled the most dangerous temporal criminal in the universe. James isn't just altering events; he is collapsing entire timelines. For the time being, Simon is being pulled from standard ops to hunt this ghost. Act II: The Temporal Wasteland Using a Vanguard Chrono-Drive—a brutal, painful machine that tears the user through the fabric of reality—Simon jumps to the coordinates where James was last detected. He arrives not in a functioning society, but in a chronological graveyard. The sky is gray with temporal ash, and the ruins of a city stretch into the horizon. Here, he encounters "Temporal Echoes"—shadowy, silhouette-like figures of people whose timelines have been fractured.
