Let's find out! *********************** 💫This is a psychological mystery (light thriller) story, with drama, told with dark humor and sarcasm, and has a supernatural twist.💫 *********************** New chapters soon 🥰 *********************** Just want to thank you for being here and tell you that this is my very first book. I literally just started writing not too long ago, and I have no freaking idea about what I'm doing. English is not even my first language (although I use it at work). So, yeah. I think we have here a very original recipe for DISASTER, don't you agree? May God Help Us 🙌🏾😶🌫️

He dies. He wakes up. But every time he survives, something inside him disappears. Memories. Faces. Feelings. When he finds a note written in his own handwriting warning him about a girl he doesn't remember, he realizes this isn't an accident. Someone is killing him on purpose. And forgetting might be the real death.

Storms bring more than rain on the island. They bring secrets to the surface. Amara Josephs has endured pain throughout her life, with her body feeling like a battlefield of stiff joints and aching bones. But nothing prepares her for the night a body washes up in the mangroves with her name carved into its skin. The island whispers of duppies, curses, and restless spirits. Amara doesn't believe in folklore, but she knows monsters exist. She's lived with one inside her for years. With the tide washing in more bodies and hidden secrets, she has to figure out what's real and what's superstition before the island takes her for one of the dead.

She can't remember. They won't let her forget. When the same night keeps repeating, she must uncover the truth to escape the loop.

"They say dreams are just fragments of the mind... But what if they're doorways? Maps? Curses?" In this anthology of night-born tales, step into the twisted dreams of a person who never sleeps in peace. Haunted by blood-stained games, cursed schools, demonic bargains, and ghostly whispers that never fade, each short story is pulled directly from the author's own nightmares. Some dreams are forgotten. Others fight to be remembered. The Different Dimensions is not just a collection-it's a haunted archive. A dimension stitched from fear, death, and a mind that refuses to close its eyes. Do not read before bed. Unless you want to wake up... somewhere else.

Ever since the silence began, the world has been wrong. People lose whole days-forgotten, erased- as if their emotions are being swallowed by something unseen. Joy. Fear. Pain. All of it... fading. But Jiwoo hears what no one else can: Emotions making noise. A trembling echo when fear rises, a sharp crack when anger shatters, a low hum when grief tries to breathe. And when the seventh tone awakens inside her skull, the lights flicker- time stutters- and a voice whispers from the empty air: "Hear the seventh tone." Something is breaking. Something is calling. And Jiwoo is the only one who can hear it.

Truth ruined her career. Lies made her famous. Naira built her platform chasing views instead of meaningless ghost stories, viral scares, empty headlines that brought millions of clicks and nothing else. Until one anonymous message pulls her to the edge of the city, where a factory officially listed as "closed" still breathes after midnight. She goes looking for proof. She finds him. Vivaan is everything she should fear-untouchable billionaire, industrial visionary, and the man whose name opens doors governments won't question. His company powers cities. His influence silences critics. And now, her investigation points straight to him. The footage she captures threatens to expose more than corporate corruption-it threatens a man who does not lose control, and does not forgive curiosity. Instead of destroying her, he watches her. Instead of silencing her, he steps closer. He doesn't fall in love. He claims. And Naira's greatest mistake may not be uncovering his secret, but letting him notice her.

She trusts everyone. She always sees the good in people. Not because she's naïve, but because she chooses to trust. Every time, she chooses to believe that people are more than their worst side. She's sensitive, emotional, radiant. And she's used to earning everything on her own. He's been burned by love. He's spent his life chasing the wrong person, skimming the surface so he wouldn't have to feel too much-because the only one who ever truly loved him left far too soon. He comes from an important family, from a world where the path is already set and choices are never truly free. She speaks with her heart in her hands, lets herself go, trusts him without knowing who he really is. And that throws him into crisis. He desires her, but he can't afford her. In his polished world, built on appearances and opportunism, Aurora is an anomaly. Almost like a magic lamp. She doesn't seek perfection. She doesn't demand excellence. She asks only for honesty. A sincerity he isn't capable of giving. Aurora has never felt interest in anyone-she's never been with any boy. Yet being close to him ignites desires and sensations she can't name. Tom is ironic, brilliant, magnetic. An arrogant show-off with freckles and a breathtaking smile. But behind those smiles there's something that doesn't add up. A shadow she senses without being able to define it. And yet she can't stop choosing him. Even when everyone around her keeps warning her.
