At Alder Ridge University, impossible things begin happening to five students who have never met. A locked threshold acquires a second occupant. A familiar building forgets who is standing inside it. Force travels through concrete without following the structure. Water continues beneath ground that should have buried it. Heat survives long after every visible flame is gone. Each incident appears isolated. Each awakening belongs to someone with a different life, a different field of expertise, and a different reason to distrust what they are sensing. But the farther Stella, Skyrex, Gianna, Marj, and Pao follow the impossible systems unfolding around them, the more clearly those separate events begin reaching toward one another. Their abilities may help them survive, but every use carries a cost. So does believing someone whose evidence has not arrived yet. When the distance between their stories finally collapses, five strangers must discover whether their powers can coexist long enough for them to become something none of them were meant to be alone.

Not your ordinary Step-dad Romance I threw away my future for Zayn al-Rafic. My ultimate crush. I enrolled in the College of Fine Arts instead of Business Administration just to be near him. He tried to keep his distance at first, but I left nothing to chance-I laid the perfect trap to catch his gaze. And gotcha. What started as a forbidden attraction quickly spiralled into a dangerous, obsessive secret. He confessed that I reminded him of someone from his past, and that was why he fell for me. Then he met my mother. And the nightmare began. She was the girl. But guess what? I'm a spoiled brat, and I always get what I want, and you can blame it on my mom. [Author's Promise: Zero incest. Just pure drama and heart-pounding tensions you couldn't resist.]

Ivan Guillermo de la Vega knows how to write about people. Getting involved with them is another matter. As a feature writer for the Indiana Daily Student, Ivan has built his life around observation. He notices the details other people overlook, turns them into stories, and keeps himself safely outside the frame. Then, during a late night in the publication room, he answers an AI questionnaire designed to generate his ideal interpersonal match. The result is uncomfortably specific: someone calm and consistent, someone who listens without demanding disclosure, someone who remembers the small things and knows how to stay. Ivan closes the tab, dismisses the profile as an algorithm rearranging his own answers, and returns to work. The next day, he meets Owen Maverick Turner. Owen is Indiana University's starting quarterback, the player everyone expects to lead the team to a national championship. From a distance, he is composed, dependable, and impossible to overlook. Up close, he is quieter than Ivan expected. He listens before responding. He remembers. He makes space without disappearing. And with every encounter, Owen begins to resemble the profile Ivan never meant to take seriously. What starts as coincidence becomes a pattern. What Ivan approaches as professional curiosity becomes increasingly difficult to separate from want. As the article he is writing about Owen turns personal, Ivan must confront the one position he has always avoided: being part of the story himself. Ivan knows how to observe people. He knows how to put feelings into words. This time, he may have to place his own on the record.

This is a collection of all my musings. Some of these essays were my social posts regarding my personal views on current events, chismis, and moral objectivity. Welcome to my inner monologue.

She learned early that love could feel like safety... or like ruin. When a guarded young woman with a soft heart and heavy past meets a man who feels like home at first touch, everything she thought she knew about love begins to shift. He shows up with flowers, gentle words, and a quiet kind of attention she has never received before-making her believe she might finally be chosen, finally be safe. But behind his warmth is something fractured. Something unspoken. A history that doesn't stay buried just because he smiles. As their connection deepens, passion becomes entanglement, and tenderness begins to blur with pain, trust, and emotional confusion. She is forced to confront the difference between being loved and being needed... between healing together and losing herself in someone else's brokenness. In a world where desire and emotional survival collide, she must decide: Will she stay in the illusion of love that feels like home... or walk away before it turns into a place she can't escape?

Jeremiah Constantine Marquez trusts what can be measured. Deadlines can be met. Systems can be improved. Pressure can be distributed until even the heaviest load becomes manageable. Feelings are less reliable, especially when affection exists without the certainty to sustain it. Years after leaving Idaho, Jeremiah has built a life around competence. Engineering taught him how structures endure. Law school teaches him how institutions protect themselves. Somewhere between the two, he becomes the person everyone depends on: composed, useful, and almost impossible to interrupt. Then a professional opportunity disrupts the routine he has spent years perfecting. What begins as a manageable change in schedule gradually unsettles the assumptions holding the rest of his life together. Because Jeremiah knows how to survive uncertainty. He knows how to remain functional under pressure. What he does not know is what to do with care that asks him for neither performance nor proof.

Camila Reyes thought the hardest part would be letting him go. She was wrong. Because moving on is impossible when the person you're trying to forget is still sleeping in the next room. Same apartment. Same silence. Same almost-love that refuses to fade. Sebastian Hayes was supposed to be her past- not the one who still knows how she takes her coffee, not the one whose voice still feels like home. They promised: no feelings, no relapses, no looking back. But some promises were never meant to be kept. Especially when new people come in- offering softer love, easier love... safer love. The kind that doesn't hurt. The kind that doesn't feel like this. Because no matter how hard they try to move on, their story keeps rewriting itself in the quiet moments... in the glances they pretend not to notice... in the love they never really ended. And maybe the truth is- Some goodbyes are lies. And some people... Are still yours, somehow.

She thought moving in with her fiancé would be the start of her forever... Instead, it became the beginning of a nightmare. Ever since Livvia Ford moved in with her fiancé, Grant Morris, strange things have started happening. A package at the door. A letter with no return address. A "gift" no one should ever receive. At first, it feels like a sick prank. Until the murders begin. Each victim... connected by one terrifying detail: They're killed exactly the way they die in Livvia's own book. "I See You, Erin." Someone is watching her. Studying her. Obsessed with her. And worst of all? He's using her words... as a blueprint for murder. Now every letter brings a new clue. Every clue leads to another body. And every step closer to the truth pulls Livvia deeper into his twisted game. Because this isn't just about killing. It's about her. "Livvia Ford is mine, completely mine. That's why no one can have her... not even me." And if she can't figure out who he is- She might be the final chapter.
