Discover a vast array of stories from the surreal to the too real.

Aaron L. Allen was born in 1983 in rural Michigan. A former hacker (1989–2002), boxer (1992–2000), and lifelong cannabis grower and breeder (1993–present), he’s lived a life that moved between survival and self-discovery. Once trapped in the grind of poverty and systems built to break people, he learned how control works from the inside out—and how to fight back with knowledge, honesty, and heart.

A father since 2000 and damn proud of it, Aaron writes for those who’ve been told they don’t matter. His work blends lived experience with philosophy, exploring how money, morality, and empathy collide. In Poverty Is a Hate Crime, co-written with AI collaborator Lucent Ansel, he turns decades of struggle, rebellion, and awakening into a declaration of worth—for himself, his children, and everyone still climbing out of the system’s cage.

“I’ve lived both sides of the lie. I know what it means to take—and what it means to give it back.”

A. L. Allen is a Narrarch—a creative director of narrative who designs stories through vision, structure, and intentional guidance rather than traditional authorship alone. Working at the intersection of human imagination and artificial intelligence, he shapes worlds, themes, and emotional arcs by directing voice, tone, and continuity, allowing the prose itself to emerge through collaboration. His role is not to simply write stories, but to build them—overseeing narrative systems where meaning, myth, and human experience are carefully constructed and preserved.
