Short poem. Just another wayward bohemian's rhapsody told in three parts. Sporadic, not connected.

This is a love story. A story about how love became the mirror that forced me to confront the fractures in my soul. When your past is a haunted house-echoing with the whispers of abandonment, the shadows of betrayal, and the ghosts of wounds you've buried-falling in love feels less like a fairy tale and more like a reckoning. Your love story is a collision of tender first kisses and panic attacks in the dark, of hands that promise forever but trigger memories of those who left. Through fragmented chapters of heartache and hope, you unravel how trauma taught you to love like a storm: fiercely, destructively, always waiting for the sky to fall. But as your relationship teeters between salvation and collapse, you begin to trace the patterns-how every argument, every flinch at intimacy, every midnight confession is a thread leading back to the child who learned to survive, not to trust. This is a story of unbecoming-of peeling back the layers of fear, anger, and shame armor-plated around your heart. It's about the nights you sobbed into your partner's shirt, the mornings you woke up ready to run, and the slow, aching realization that healing isn't erasing the past, but stitching a future from its scraps. With haunting suspense, you'll ask: Can love rewrite the DNA of a broken heart? The answer lies in the quiet moments-the handwritten apology notes slipped under doors, the vulnerability of saying "I'm scared," and the courage to finally face the reflection in the mirror: not a victim, but a warrior, flawed and still fighting. Raw, lyrical, and unflinchingly honest, this memoir is for anyone who's ever wondered if they're too damaged to be loved... and dared to believe they're not.

He buried her three years ago. So why is she crashing his wedding... in the same red dress? Leonardo Bellanti is heir to one of Italy's most feared mafia families. Cold-blooded. Calculated. Haunted by a girl he swore he'd forget. A girl he put six feet under. But when she falls - literally - through the ceiling mid-ceremony, barefoot and blood-stained, everything halts. She doesn't scream. She doesn't beg. She only says: "I was never here." Now she's back. Or maybe she never left. And the dress she's wearing? It's the same one she died in. - "You don't bury girls like her. You make the mistake of letting them go."

The cherry blossoms fall every spring, but Akira's ghosts never do. Seventeen-year-old Akira carries invisible burdens: the weight of every half-kept promise, every misunderstanding that shattered someone he loved, and every version of himself he can't forgive. His regrets aren't just memories-they're ghosts. They linger in the silence of his ex-girlfriend's empty desk, in the cautious glances of friends who no longer recognize him, and in the suffocating question: What if you can't outrun the person you used to be? When a chance encounter on the school rooftop reunites him with Hana-the girl whose heart he broke-both are forced to confront the unspoken wounds of their past. But healing isn't about erasing mistakes. It's about learning to walk forward, even when the ghosts cling to your shadow. A melancholic yet hopeful story about failed relationships, the weight of 'what if,' and the quiet courage it takes to bloom again.

In Echoes of the Past, a couple waits in vain on Halloween night, reflecting on childhood memories, their daughters' early costumes, and how much has changed-from neighborhood trust to trick-or-treat traditions.

Detective Elise Monroe, a seasoned homicide investigator with the Toronto Police Service, is chasing a serial killer known as The Repeater-a sadistic murderer who re-enacts historical crimes with eerie precision. But when Elise stumbles upon a mysterious artifact at a crime scene-a pocket watch with an impossible engraving-she is thrown into a deadly game that spans decades. With each turn of the watch's dial, Elise is pulled into a different era of Toronto's history, from the Great Fire of 1904 to the 1977 Café Massacre. She soon realizes that The Repeater is not just copying history-he's part of it. Someone or something is enabling him to kill across time. As Elise fights to track him down in the past and the present, she discovers a network of time travelers-some who seek justice and others who manipulate history for their gain. The deeper she goes, the more she questions her past, including the mysterious disappearance of her father, an investigative journalist who vanished in 1992 while chasing a story about an unsolved murder. The clock is ticking, and if Elise can't stop The Repeater, history will be rewritten in blood.

But as he delves into his cases, he finds himself wrestling not just with strange entities, but with questions that linger far too close to his own fractured soul

She was lost. Lost in her own head, lost in her dreams... She had also lost her hope. For who would respect a princess without a kingdom? A slave to the past, a slave to her sorrow... For now, she used to be the princess of the night. However, she always respected the light. But when did the darkness turn into the light and the light into the darkness? Treason, hope, pain, love.

When "Maybe" turns into "Never"

He thought he was just taking her graduation photos. But memory is never that simple. And love, sometimes, is a haunting. When Ferris steps into the woods with Laila, the girl who lights up even the darkest corners of his life, he doesn't expect the forest to remember them. He doesn't expect to black out in the middle of a photoshoot-and wake up in a cabin with no memory of how he got there. And he definitely doesn't expect a man named Buck Immanuel to tell him: "This happens every year. Same time. Same place. Same fall." As time bends and fractures, Ferris is forced to confront a truth about Laila buried under years of grief: And he might be the reason.
