Escape Stories

One minute, Clara was walking home. The next, she was gone. Kidnapped off the street by three strangers-Ezra, Silas, and Lucian-she wakes up in a mansion too perfect to be real. Every room is tailored to her. Every meal, every hobby, every word-they knew everything. And now they expect her to play along in their twisted version of a family. They wanted her. To them, Clara is the missing piece. The daughter they've been waiting for. The one they've been preparing for. Every room is made for her. Every rule is meant to shape her. And every smile hides something sick. Ezra. Calm, calculating, always three steps ahead. No matter how careful Clara is, he sees through her. Every lie. Every escape attempt. Every flicker of rebellion. Silas is distant and cold, but dangerous in his silence. Silas keeps his distance-but when he looks at her, it's like he sees straight through. And Lucian... Lucian's the gentle one.The one who brings her hot chocolate with extra marshmallows and brushes her hair. The one who says this is all for her own good. Lucian is soft-spoken and kind... almost like he wants her to believe this could be real. But it isn't. They don't want her freedom. They want her obedience. Her love. Her role. They call it family. She calls it a nightmare. But if Clara wants to survive, she might have to play along. Even if it means pretending to love her captors. _________________________________________ Author's Note: This is a story I've been wanting to post and now I've finally done it.

Axel Opal has lived inside white walls for as long as he can remember. White sheets. White lights. White silence. Diagnosed young and locked away in Holbrooke Asylum, Axel exists in a world where time doesn't move and voices don't linger. The doctors call him unstable. The nurses call him dangerous. Axel calls it survival. Then she arrives. Lark Abalone is different from the others. She doesn't wear white. She doesn't look at him like he's broken. She speaks to him like he's still human. She listens. She stays. And slowly, impossibly, Axel begins to feel something he thought the asylum had erased forever: hope. But hope is dangerous in a place built to erase reality. Because no one else seems to notice her. The staff never say her name. The cameras never acknowledge her presence. And the more Axel begins to heal, the more the world around him begins to fracture. Doors unlock when they shouldn't. Walls flicker. Dreams feel more real than waking. And one terrifying question begins to haunt him: Is Lark saving him- Or is she the final thing his mind created to survive losing everything else? In a place where reality is fragile and loneliness rewrites the truth, Axel must confront the thin line between love and illusion-and decide what it truly means to wake up.

Oliver Kral is a competitive gamer who just washed out of a Prague esports tournament. The loss stings, but it's nothing compared to what comes next. Within days, Oliver and a woman he barely knows are ripped from their lives and strapped to examination tables inside a featureless white chamber. Their captors are small, silent, and unmistakably not human. No explanations or demands. Just restraints, sedation, and routines designed to strip away everything familiar. He's not alone. Other captives have been here longer. An intelligence agent. A mob boss. A medic. A linguist. Each one carrying a different piece of a puzzle none of them asked to solve. Together, they begin mapping the patterns of their prison, looking for cracks in a system built by something far more advanced than anything on Earth. Then a voice appears inside Oliver's mind. It calls itself Shadow. It claims to be a fragment of something their captors tried to destroy. It offers knowledge, perception, and a way out. But freedom has a price. And Shadow isn't telling him everything. Set in Central Europe, Xenoforming is a grounded first contact story about ordinary people pushed past every limit they thought they had.
