    Some houses breathe. This one remembers. When seventeen-year-old Evangeline Grey returns to Greystone Manor - her family's ancestral estate drowned in mist and mourning - she doesn't expect to find a mirror that watches her sleep, whispers that echo her name, or a girl trapped on the other side of the glass who wears her face and begs for help. The house is alive. It dreams in portraits and speaks through silence. And it wants something from her - something written in blood, buried in memory, and hidden behind centuries of cursed reflection. Guided by a mysterious tutor with secrets of his own and haunted by the fate of a forgotten ancestor, Evangeline must uncover the truth behind her family's legacy before the house claims her soul... like it did so many before. But in a place where mirrors lie and dreams rot in frames, saving another may mean losing yourself. Forever. "Mirrors remember what we try to forget."

    To understand life, one must first tangle with death. It is not a single vast unknown, but the accumulation of being. Death can be a warm, soft blanket in the storm--a familiarity, a friend-close enough to comfort, yet distant enough to let you breathe.

    She was perfection-too perfect, perhaps. He called her by many names, each one a reflection of the way he saw her, the way he needed her to be. Geneviève was not just a woman; she was a fever, a force, an obsession that blurred the line between love and madness. Through fragmented recollections and letters never meant to be read, a tale unfolds of longing, beauty, and the inescapable grip of desire. But beneath the poetry lies something darker-a question lingering between the lines, waiting to be answered. How much of love is real? And how much is only a dream we refuse to wake from? Please let me know what you think thus far (Chapters 1-3 available at this moment)

    🌙 It begins as a quiet night under a promised blood moon - just a woman, a glass of wine, and the silver-lit garden. But the moon is not content to be admired. She speaks. She remembers. She keeps secrets that span lifetimes - some that belong to the woman herself. As the conversation drifts between humor and reverence, past and present, the night folds into something stranger. The fireflies carry messages. Old memories stir. And behind a curtain, someone - or something - is watching. A lyrical fever-dream of memory, myth, and the thin line between beauty and unease.

    NEW CHAPTERS EVERY MONDAY, WEDNESDAY & FRIDAY :) FOREWORD This story isn't about flowers. Or love. Well-both are in it. Just not in the way you'd expect. Jasmine can be beautiful, but suffocating. Love can be sweet, but also poisonous. And memories? They're the biggest illusion of all. Sometimes you think you remember what happened. But what if you only remember what someone wanted you to? When I came to this town, I was just a girl in platform shoes, smudged lipstick, and a clear plan: Clear out the house. Sign the papers. Leave. Instead, I found a garden that won't die. A villa that whispers in dreams. And someone I should've never met. Maybe he doesn't even exist. Maybe... I made him up. I don't know how much of what I'm about to tell you is real. But every word happened. Or is happening. Somewhere. Again and again. All it takes is one step into the flowers- And nothing is ever the same. - Lenka
