I'm Kafka?
Your result for The Literary Style Test...
Franz Kafka
Franz Kafka's literary style is so distinct that an adjective has been coined from his name to describe similar styles. That adjective is "kafkaesque". Your own writing, obviously, is kafkaesque. Kafka wrote very strange, horrifying stories. His most famous novella involves the transformation of a man into a giant insect. His works are not only fantastic and symbolic, but they are often very philsophical and thought provoking. Many of his stories are allegorical or metaphorical, focusing on the nature of spirituality and the absurdity of life. Not only that, but his work is often intensely cerebral, delving deep into the minds of his characters and examining their psychology and the motivations for their actions. Your writing follows Kafka's example by being highly philosophical, psychological, and surrealistic.
Some stories you may enjoy: "The Metamorphasis", The Castle, The Trial, and "A Hunger Artist".
The other literary styles:
Edgar Allan Poe / Jorge Luis Borges / George Orwell / F. Scott Fitzgerald / Fyodor Dostoevsky / Herman Melville / Albert Camus

Sekhmet
Sekhmet, whose name literally translated means The Mighty One or The Powerful One, was the Goddess of divine retribution, justice, vengeance, and war. She was also called such impressive titles as Powerful of Heart, The Scarlet Lady, Avenger of Wrongs, Lady of Flame, The One Before Whom Evil Trembles, Eye of Ra, and Lady of Slaughter.
Sekhmet was believed to protect the pharaoh in battle and destroy his enemies with arrows of fire. Hot desert winds were believed to be this Goddess breath, and her body was said to take on the bright glare of the midday sun.
The priests of Sekhmet were specialists in the field of medicine, arts linked to ritual and magic. They were also trained surgeons of remarkable calibre. Tame lions were kept in temples dedicated to Sekhmet. An ancient Greek historian called Aelian said: In Egypt, they worship lions, and there is a city called after them. The lions have temples and numerous spaces in which to roam, and they eat to the accompaniment of song.
Sekhmet was also the sister of Bast. Together the twin sisters formed the "Yin Yang" of Egyptian religion, Sekhmet, depicted as a young woman with the head of a lioness, being the destructive force, and Bast, shown with the head of domestic cat, being the positive force. For those of you who love wine; the blood-red wine of Upper Egypt was called the Wine of Sekhmet, while the white wine of Lower Egypt was the Wine of Bast.

The Pyrrhonian
Quietly confident and aloof, the Pyrrhonian recognises that religions exist and that people subscribe to them, but manages to keep well out of it all. Pyrrhonians came to the realisation long ago that all matters of faith are beyond the scope of reason or argument, and thus retains a clear-headed skeptical approach to religion in general. They refuse to place belief in anything for which there is no proof, and regard the majority of theistic claims as irreconcilable. Leading a life of tranquility undisturbed by religious concerns, the position of the Pyrrhonian is enviable, if a little frustrating for others at times.

OGHMA, the Wise God
Oghma(OGG-mah) is the most powerful god of knowledge. Much as Mystra(goddess of magic) is said to sit in judgement of each new spell, Oghma is said to decide whether a new idea would be known to the world or confined to its originator. Oghma is a cheerful and wise god whose ability to persuade others to his point of view he puts to endless use. He can be solemn and righteous, but he is more often quietyly humorous and quick to smile. His one flaw may be his fondness for his own thoughts; he tends to implement rather convoluted plots that he has worked out first in his mind rather than take direct action. Oghma has been known to appear as a dark-skinned, handsome man in bright, grand, stylish clothing typically including a tabard with projecting, ornamented shoulder plates, a cummerbund that bears a painted scene of exquisite beauty on its medallion-shaped buckle.

The Flash
Name: The Flash
Alter Ego: Bart Allen (Previously Jay Garrick, Barry Allen, Wally West).
Abilities: Inconceivable Speed and reflexes, ("super" speed doesn't quite cover it).
Team player. Extroverted. Ideological. Focused.
As his name suggests, The Flash is the embodiment of the most modern of virtues - speed. All things, (including subtlety), are tossed asside in favour of speed. Flash is incredibly driven and focused, but recognises that his narrow skill set means he almost always works better in group with other highly skilled individuals.

Forgotten Realms
You are stuck in Faerun. The world of stock fantasy. Generic, uninsightful, rather low-key, and yet strangely compelling in its generic, uninsightful, rather low-key variety. Do you want to be an elf dancing from treetop to treetop, bow in hand? An ancient sorcerer bent on conquering the world? A charming rogue inadvertently lured into saving the world/country/city/neighbourhood/city block? It's all there. Just about any fantasy cliche imaginable lies waiting for you, but not much else... and you like it that way.

It's About the Kids, Stupid. Or Is It?
Gail Gaulthier explains why Horatio Lyle, an adult, can become a main character of a 'children's book'.
I think the reason Horatio works is that he's an outsider in his time. He's a serious science wonk in Victorian England. A second generation science wonk, in fact. He's not an aristocrat in a society where birth status still matters. But it's also a society where education and technology are just beginning to come into play. He's even an outsider as far as traditional heroes are concerned. He doesn't use guns or swords or even his fists. He uses chemicals as his weapons. He does what he has to do, but he doesn't seem to be burdened with an overabundance of courage. When he needs help, he calls on his mother.
Why can an outsider guy like Lyle work in a children's book? Because in a world where adults have all the power, children and teenagers are outsiders, too. An outsider character--especially if he's clever and witty--is someone an outsider reader can identify with.
