User:Sangheilioz

Sangheilioz is a young writer who's still experimenting with different styles. He has written poetry, short stories, reflections, comics, essay papers, and is currently working on a novel. The works presented here are in no way a complete collection of all that he has written, and more will be added as time and necessity allow.

WoW FanFic
Sangheilioz has recently started writing fanfiction based on the game World of Warcraft. This fanfiction is mainly an exercise he uses to attempt to break writer's block, but some pieces will find their way here.

Turtles All The Way Down
The first fanfic piece, "Turtles All The Way Down", describes an experience Sangheilioz had while playing on his main character in which he fished up a rare item, unlocking an achievement as well as triggering jealousy in one of his guildmates and close friend.

Multiplayer
The "Multiplayer" series is a new series of short stories that Sangheilioz has recently started writing. The series is based on the Halo multiplayer experience, but attempts to shed new light on the characters in these games.

Capture The Flag
The first installment in the Multiplayer series, Capture the flag is a short, personal perspective on a High Ground Capture the Flag game.

Confliction
"Confliction" is the novel that Sangheilioz is currently working on. Despite numerous requests for more material, the only sample of this novel that has been released is the prologue.

Poems By Sangheilioz
Sangheilioz has written a few poems (most of which were for a High School English class).

Poem: Brother
Brother was written while on a retreat in response to an image of two boys standing in front of a waterfall in the woods. Unfortunately, I have been unable to locate the image to place here.

Poem: The Feast
The Feast was written in response to a painting. It was written as an exercise in observation and interpretation. Unfortunately, I have been unable to locate an image of the painting to place here.

Poem: War, What Is It Good For?
War, What is it good for? Was written as an exercise. I believe it was Iambic Nonameter*, but it has been so long since I took that class that I no longer recall if that is accurate.

Poem: Keys
Keys Was written as an early exercise in observation and interpretation, as well as creativity. I essentially took a common object (in this case, my car keys) and examined it, putting my thoughts down into a poem.

Poem: Grass
Grass is the only poem Sangheilioz has written and publicized that wasn't made for a class. This poem was written in Sangheilioz' head as he mowed the lawn at his parents' home one summer. It is also the shortest poem he has ever written, and the only one that has been published. Grass was published in Sisyphus, a biyearly literary compilation produced entirely from Fine Arts created by students at Sangheilioz' High School.

The poem itself is structured to portray the words that make it up, with each line getting longer until the final line, where it is cut.

Physics Mayhem!
The Physics Mayhem comic series was a three-part series using Halo sprites to explore, and explain, certain topics in Physics. These comics were created for a High School Physics Topics class, and then deemed worthy of sharing elsewhere.

Comic: Quantum Mechanics and Computers
This was the first installment of the Physics Mayhem! comics, and took roughly 5 hours to create.

Comic: Plasmonics
The second installment of the Physics Mayhem! comics. This one took roughly 6.5 hours to create, but had much better quality, I believe. Also, the mention of "cheese curl fragments" was an inside joke in the class, so please don't dwell on it.

Comic: Metallic Hydrogen
The third, and final, installment of the Physics Mayhem! comics. This issue took roughly 5.5 hours to make. The text in the yellow flash on the cover should have probably read "and you can probably live quite comfortably without them," instead of "and you can't live without them", but Sangheilioz was too tired and lacked the motivation to actually fix it.

Insight
This section contains all the writings Sangheilioz has written while reflecting on his meditations, and the thoughts he has had regarding different parts of his life. Some of them are more blog-style writings that may or may not still hold true, and everything else is open to your interpretation.

The Holiday Blues
Written December 11, 2006, this particular writing is a bitter examination of the commercialization and superfluous nature of our society.

So, This Is College
Written September 17, 2007, this writing is a personal reflection which stemmed from a meditation exercise, as well as the drowsy, half-consciousness of being awake far later than you intend to. Many of what is written here is no longer true, or an issue, but it is an excellent example of what can be learned by taking the time to examine oneself.

The Meaning of Life, Other Than 42
Written July 22, 2008, this particular writing is a transcription of what I wrote in one of the "Intelligent Fyreballs" on the subject of religion.

Other Work By Sangheilioz
Here is a collection of misc. stories and papers that Sangheilioz has written.

Downpour
A short story written for a [competition] on Fyreball. Final word count: 1,863

Achievement Unlocked: Enlightenment
This is an essay written for an English class in Sangheilioz' freshman year at college. It outlines his beliefs in regards to videogame censorship, and supports the reasoning for the beliefs.

Led Relaxation Exercise
Recently published in a [fyreball], this is the script for the leader of a relaxation exercise to follow. It works best with a leader speaking the instructions, but if need be one can perform this exercise alone (after having read this script or being led through it previously)

I personally use this exercise to relax myself, and occasionally to help myself get to sleep.
