Escapism Stories

The title says it all. This will be an ongoing book that will be updated as regularly as possible. :)

*WEEKLY UPDATES* Where privilege meets desperation, and no one gets out unscathed. * She was supposed to inherit a company. Instead, she inherited an unpaid internship in the department everyone quits. Meet Victoria Adaora Adeyemi: nepo baby, professional chaos, and the CEO's worst nightmare. Her punishment for being "too wild"? Work in the basement of her dad's best friend's talent management company. No glam. No assistant. Just a leaking toilet and a boss who hates her on sight. Enter Dorian Kolkoto: broke, brilliant, and desperate to climb his way out. He can't afford to lose this job. He also can't afford to fall for the girl who got it because of her last name. It's supposed to be temporary. It's supposed to be professional. So why does it feel like the start of something neither of them can afford? The Personality Hire: where privilege meets desperation, and no one gets out unscathed.

An anonymous gamer, a faceless Twitch streamer, and YouTube creator, Nora Byrne goes by noidentityceptmine on the Internet. She never believed she'd get ten subscribers, but within the last two years she has reached a milestone: one million. None of her fans know who she is. She is known for her hoodies, background lights, second alto voice, and hatred for scary video games, which her audience wants to hear her react to. But ideas have disappeared. The intense pressure to give, to give, to make, to make, and upload her videos every day (sometimes two videos per day) has exceeded her limit. After a burnout and struggling with her grief, she takes a break. She knows this is her paycheck. She understands there could be a backlash. She finds a new video gamer, one who yells, high pitch voice, and his Irish accent . . . she starts to watch his videos: Séamus Reid. New perspective. Games that she hasn't played before. Will she return to making videos? Should she reach out? Maybe a new friendship? ＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿ 🌟 Open Novella Contest 2021 ➤ Prompt #29: ❝I am in the mood to dissolve in the sky.❞ - Virginia Woolf ➤ Round One, Two, Longlist, and Shortlist Qualifier ✨ ➤ Honorable Mention | All The Feels 💕 💫 Round One First Place Winner 2021 ◇ @WattpadSocialMedia | DM Me | Teen and NA reading list ◇ May 21, 2021 ◇ @OpenNovellaContest | 2021 Round Winners ◇ March 25, 2021 ◇ @OpenNovellaContest | Longlist Part 2 ◇ May 27, 2021 ◇ @OpenNovellaContest | 2021 Honorable Mentions | All the Feels ◇ June 30, 2021 ◇ @WattpadShortStory | Strugglers ◇ June 30, 2021 ◇ @generalfiction | Freestyle Fiction | Miscellaneous ◇ September 8, 2021 ◇ @ProfileMentalHealth | A New Day ◇ September 30, 2021 ◇ Contemporary Romantics Award: #RomanticsAwards2022: Shortlist ◇ March 15, 2022 ◇ Contemporary Romantics Award: #RomanticsAwards2022: Finale In 2026, I'll publish the 2021 edition.

June is a mafia's daughter who is constantly mistreated by her father. One day she decides to escape and have a new life, a new beggining. Will she be able to achieve the life of her dreams?

I came to Palermo trying to escape from the life I had always known. He came trying to escape his own past. I never expected to meet Lukas. Mysterious blue eyes, messy blond hair, too many secrets and a smile dangerous enough to break every defense I had left. What started with a spilled drink and five stolen minutes slowly turned into something impossible to ignore. But sometimes the wrong person appears at exactly the right moment. Between Palermo, Naples and Berlin, two different worlds collide in a cinematic slow-burn romance filled with tension, distance, late-night conversations and feelings neither of us was ready to face. A Mediterranean love story about destiny, timing and the kind of connection that changes everything.

"What version?" -"The one where nobody knows who I am"

Hyacinth Rivera is a quiet soul with ink-stained fingers and a heart full of longing. Neglected at home, bullied at school, and emotionally bruised by the very teachers meant to guide her, she escapes into a world of fiction one she creates every night in a tattered leather notebook. There, she becomes Celia velle: adored, confident, and loved beyond measure. But when the line between fantasy and reality begins to blur, Hyacinth finds herself truly living inside her story. With new friends, a swoon worthy love interest, and the perfect life she always dreamed of, everything feels right... until the cracks start to show.

"When we consider things like Stars, our affairs don't seem to matter much do they?" The document here is a little piece of my rumination and all the long gone substantial amount of time that I lost for being so indulged in my own thoughts that I ended up creating a World Inside Of Me.

To the person whom my plant shares a name.

At the height of the disco era, one unforgettable night changes everything for Michael and Kenzie. What begins as an evening of music, glitter, and dancing at the legendary Stardust Palace soon becomes an extraordinary journey into a magical world where mirrorballs light up the stars, galaxies move to the rhythm of the music, and the spirit of disco makes anything possible.

In spring it blossoms, but in winter it really thrives, as cold as the mountain top, and as beautiful from the view at the top. It was as green as grass. But bluer than skies. When the leaves were carried by the wind, when flowers bloom slowly again, when rain made a soft but true melody, or when snow was full of memories. Is when the lotus appears, born from dirt and mud, but somehow springs up to grow as a beautiful flower. Loved by all, but themselve. The lotus can smile, but are they really happy? The lotus can cry, but are they really sad? The lotus can feel nothing, but aren't they just feeling too much? Between Hope and Reality is an ongoing journey through thoughts, emotions, and quiet truths. Blending reflection with personal honesty, each chapter explores themes of loneliness, hope, healing, and what it means to simply be human. This is not a finished story-new chapters will continue to unfold, piece by piece, as life does. It's for anyone who's ever felt out of place, dreamed of something more, or fought to keep going when it would've been easier to stop. Each entry is written with care, from the heart. Thank you for walking this path with me-one chapter at a time. (First published on Wattpad by Distinct-unique_bird. If you're reading this anywhere else, it was taken without my permission.)

A post-abusive lifestyle has given Jess Jones life's magnetizing offers: a healthy adulthood, and a stable mindset. And a brain tumor at the age of twenty-three. With sixty days left to live, Jess has made her death wish: to give her youngest, black half-brother, Lucas, the opportunity to grow in a steady, loving home, away from the environment that Jess had to endure. To find Lucas, Jess must find clues in the places of her past: her bigoted grandmother, her negligent father and mistress, and the church that almost abused her. The adventure does not start once Jess finally finds Lucas. And it doesn't end until Lucas is finally safe.

Awareness and breaking from the afterlife

This is just a work of fiction ENJOY.........

*this is an album* this isn't exactly a story, rather it's an album of songs I wrote. had no where else to post them so I thought, wattpad!

Catra and Adora go out to escape Shadow Weaver, but they run into a few problems.

This isn't specifically a story, more like a compilation of my daily thoughts and little stories and feelings that float in my head (hence why it is called In the Clouds) but i really hope you do take the time to look at them. It would mean alot to me. This is mainly for me to really get over my depression and make time for myself because i have forgotten to do that for myself for the past 2-3 years. So enjoy!

Short fiction for sleepless nights and wandering minds. Each story is 500-1000 words-born from prompts, restlessness, or thoughts I couldn't leave unwritten. Soft, strange, a little sad or a little sweet-these stories blend magical realism, quiet sci-fi, and wistful drama. If you like tales that whisper more than shout, that feel like a breeze through an open window, this space is for you. Read one before bed, in a waiting room, or whenever you just need to feel something. Unwind here. Drift elsewhere for a while.

So I was basically having one of them days, and I guess I was supposed to be doing revision but.... when I am upset (and i was really down that day) I dont really have a thing to help, i dont like ranting to people so i was just experimenting with ways to keep me calm and on track so i wrote a couple poems and the person i showed it too really liked it so i wanted to share this one. hope you like it and excuse any grammar mistakes they are my achilles heel.
