Running Stories

Quinn Parker is the girl everyone thinks they know-perfect grades, perfect hair, perfect smile. But behind the polished image is a secret she guards so tightly that not even her closest friends see the cracks. Ryder Bennett has spent years pretending he doesn't care about anything, least of all Quinn. He used to make her life miserable in middle school, and she's never forgiven him for it. Except now, the more time they spend in the same orbit, the harder it is for either of them to ignore the pull. They argue. They tease. They cross lines and retreat. And somewhere in between late-night conversations, stolen car rides, and the weight of things unsaid, Quinn starts to realize Ryder isn't who she thought he was-and maybe she isn't either. In a world where appearances matter and silence feels safer than honesty, two people who were never supposed to trust each other might be the only ones who actually can.

Yn swallowed hard and gripped the blanket, eyes darting around the unfamiliar room again. Her heartbeat was uneven, trembling in her chest. "I... I want to go home," she whispered, her voice fragile but firm. Taehyung blinked slowly, as if her words amused him. He tilted his head, the faintest curve touching his lips.

I know this story idea is rather common; however, I wanted to take a deeper look at the effects that being one of a kind would have on somebody, especially when the repercussions of that are media attention and pressure to do better than what may be realistically achievable. I saw people put desclamers so ima do one too. - This is fiction and fantasy, not canon to the world of Cygames Umamusume. however i will attempt to stay true to the characters' personalities and whatnot. I will only be pulling from a cast of umas i actualy know well, as i learn about more they may show up later.

Steps in Silence is a raw, intimate memoir about grief, running, and the quiet battles we fight when no one is watching. After the loss of his father, Gary finds himself unravelling in unexpected moments - on quiet lanes, at familiar corners, in the presence of a horse who seems to understand more than people ever could. Running becomes both refuge and reckoning, a place where memories surface, guilt bites, and healing begins one painful mile at a time. From the absurdity of parkrun poker faces to the brutality of the Benfleet 15, from the chaos of marathons to the stillness of sobriety, this memoir explores the mind of a runner who uses movement to outrun darkness - and eventually learns he can't. Honest, funny, vulnerable, and deeply human, Steps in Silence is a story of loss, resilience, and the strange salvation found in putting one foot in front of the other.

A routine parkrun becomes an epic adventure when the Lost Park awakens. From the Temple of Bones to ankle‑snappers and training tribes, runners must survive trials worthy of a blockbuster just to reach the finish line. Funny, atmospheric, and mythic, this is parkrun like you've never seen it.

كنت عائدة من العمل في وقت متأخر ولاحظت غياب حارس المبنى عن مقعده عند المدخل وكان السكون في الردهة غير معتاد ويثير الريبة صعدت الدرج وصولًا إلى طابقي وأنا أسير في الممر الطويل نحو شقتي خفضت رأسي لأبحث عن المفاتيح داخل حقيبتي فجأة لمحت بطرف عيني حذاء رجالي ثابت في زاوية معتمة رفعت رأسي وعرفته جيدًا تصلب جسدي وقبل أن أستوعب الموقف شعرت بحرارة أنفاس خلف ظهري مباشرة اقترب الشخص مني لدرجة أن صوته كان همسًا يكاد يلامس أذني "زويا كوني هادئة" لقد وجدوني~

"To the girls who dream of freedom and success, and chase them despite everyone who tries to break them." ****************** When Destiny Dragged Me Back Trope: Destiny / Fated Connection Runaway Bride Strong Female Lead × Cold, Mysterious Male Lead Forced Proximity Enemies to Lovers Second Chance Touch Her and You're Dead (protective, not loud)

Tales of a Try-hard follows Destiny, a driven high school sprinter in Texas whose world revolves around the stopwatch. Determined to outrun her rival Aaliyah Cobbs, break long-standing campus records, and secure a place at the State Championship, Destiny believes speed is the only thing that defines her worth. But winning on the track doesn't shield her from the pressures off it. As expectations mount from teammates, coaches, family, and herself, Destiny struggles to balance competition, relationships, and the mental toll of always chasing perfection. Each race becomes more than a test of speed; it becomes a battle against doubt, comparison, and the fear of never being enough.

Will she ever forgive them for abandoning her? Will they ever be able to unveil her secrets? Where was she for all those years? This is story of a girl who was abandoned by her brothers when she was seven. Now, after 9 years, her brothers brought her back home. How will she deal with them, simultaneously dealing with the terrors that haunt her every night? Sneak Peak- Once we were out, I stopped and turned to face my blood relatives and said, "Okay, now that I am out you don't need to act anymore. Now, you guys can go back to your house and pretend that this never happened. I will go to my house and will make sure that we will not cross each other's path, even by accident." I was about to turn back when Ezekiel held my elbow, stopping me on my track. I immediately snatched my hand back glaring at him and said, "Do not ever touch me again." His eyes showed an emotion of hurt that I am sure I read incorrectly because one thing that Kensington brothers are incapable of was getting hurt by any outsider. And that was what I was. An outsider. Sensing the tension in the atmosphere Aldric took it upon himself to say whatever his brother was about to. "You are going with us." He spoke. One thing about Aldric Kensington was that once he has made his mind, there is nothing in this world that can change his decision. This is the very quality of his that made my life a living nightmare, and this is exactly why I hate him more than any of my brothers. "Let's go Athaliah," Ezekiel said this time. That name. No one has called me by that name in six years. "My name is Zahra," I corrected and continued, "And I am not going with you." #1 in pastabuse #1 in abusing #1 in nightterror on 27/02/25 #1 in running on 2/2/25, 26/4 #1 in babysister on 15/12/24 #1 in brothersconflict on 27/12/24 #2 in abandoned #2 in broken #2 in brokenfamily #4 in olderbrother #5 in mafiaprincess #9 in siblings #3 in siblingrivalry #18 in trauma #34 in littlesister #59 in mafia
