Defiance truyện

What if the prison that holds you... is built by your own fears? Aaron has spent his life avoiding risk, conflict, and pain. He hides behind jokes, routines, and silence, letting fear dictate every decision he makes. Fear of failure. Fear of rejection. Fear of being seen. Then, in a single night, everything is taken from him. Kidnapped and imprisoned alongside strangers, Aaron is forced into a reality where fear is no longer abstract - it is physical, violent, and relentless. As captors demand obedience and survival becomes a daily negotiation, Aaron discovers something unsettling: the greatest terror is not the men holding the weapons, but the voice inside him that has always told him to submit. Surrounded by broken alliances, moral compromises, and blurred lines between courage and cowardice, Aaron must confront the same question again and again: When fear rules your life, what happens when fear is no longer enough? Fear Within is a psychological thriller about identity, control, and transformation - about a man who survives not by becoming fearless, but by facing something far worse than fear itself. Because sometimes, the only way out... is through what terrifies you most.

Was scrummaging through some old notes and found a poem I wrote two years ago. Thought I'd share it here-funny how words from the past can still echo in the present.

The stories which I have enjoyed or am currently enjoying and think that others should check them also :)

"Sometimes, when someone leaves without a word, it's the silence that speaks the loudest about what's truly in your heart." All right reserved Start: Sep 6, 2024

They called you dangerous for surviving. This is the poem that proves them right. A black rose, grown around pure white tulips, formed cruelty, blooming with thorns, starlight, and defiance. Too radiant to cage, too lethal to touch without consequence. ⸻ They broke you until you learned to shine with teeth. They wanted obedience. They grew a monster wrapped in beauty instead.

(An Aardwulf Tale of vengeance, loss of innocence, violence and love.) Lend your ears dear one, for a King is a saint and cannot rule, and his son is a devil and should not. Remember that and you might live. *Excerpt* "Sarah, they will use those devices to ensnare you before you even realise the game has begun, and by then, no measure of fighting or politics will help you, as they've already conquered your mind through something as brittle as your heart." "Cedri- " "No. Listen. The fact that you hesitated when I touched you, means you've already lost." *** She loathed them. Truth be told, she was disgusted at everything they were and everything that they represented. She reviled them for their royalty, their ability to force loyalty and to frivolously sanction destruction. She loathed them for their carelessness and their entitlement. She would definitely see them rotting in shallow graves. It was their fault entirely that Sarah learnt to use a knife before she could use a spoon. It was because of their existence that she craved bloodlust and desired violence. It was their Order that she would never be able to be her aardwulf in true sense or form. Sarah was entirely loyal, but only to her vengeance. She was self-sacrificial, but only for her family. However, Sarah would never be altruistic nor submissive - such that the nature of an aardwulf was created to be. She would never be. She could not feel the sanctity of life. But there were moments, when she would witness innocence in the world around her, that she mourned the loss of her fragile heart. Standing now, however, in front of the Royals, who stole her childhood, broke her father and tore apart her family bonds, she was purely glad for the absence - it would make ripping their hearts out an absolute pleasure. Especially his.
