Introspection Stories

The dead hand of history still grips the throat of the present. Three centuries after a meteor shower struck Earth, humanity is divided between the powered and the originals. One group changed. One did not. In the years that followed, a virus killed billions, twisted the natural world into something monstrous, and gave fear a shape to blame. The powered have carried that blame ever since. Collared, controlled, and sent beyond the city walls, they are forced to fight the mutations that roam the wilds while the originals stay safe behind the walls. Ezra, a doctor, refuses to accept the world's clean divisions. He treats anyone who needs him, believing every life has value, even in a city built on deciding otherwise. When one act of mercy toward a stranger pulls him into a hidden war, Ezra begins to uncover the truth buried beneath generations of fear. Tension between originals and powered reach a breaking point, and Ezra faces a choice that could alter the course of humanity. One where the line between saving and destroying becomes increasingly blurred.

Then he was reborn into another world and became a successful medical researcher... ... Then he died again because he believed he was too good for the concept of sleep, and was sent back to the beginning, before his plans and cruel deeds led him down the path of no return. This second chance might be his salvation. . . It was said that the oldest Young Master of the Odum Family has become strange as of late. Was he perhaps trying to kill someone again? His younger brother better watch out, or else he might die this time. Everyone, duck and cover! Don't want to be in the crossfire! Edited by: bafflinghaze Cover by @Niveggo.

Kimira Disvinadiya has everything under control. As student council president, top student, and self-appointed guardian of schedules, deadlines, and proper procedure, his life runs with military precision. Wake up. Go to school. Finish paperwork. Repeat. Then one morning, he wakes up as a girl. Naturally, Kimi's first concern isn't the impossible transformation. It's the paperwork. Determined to keep his life from falling apart, Kimi throws himself even harder into routine. Meetings still need to be held. Reports still need to be signed. The student council won't run itself. But no amount of planning can stop the changes creeping into his life. As friendships shift, relationships become complicated, and the person staring back from the mirror feels less and less familiar, Kimi is forced to confront a question he has spent years avoiding: Is he actually living? Or has he only been existing according to a schedule someone else wrote for him?

With the threat of Spectre now behind them and the echoes of the battle on that fateful Christmas Eve at Mali-U died down, for Sam and Ricky the future is no longer a mirage, but a daily challenge. In this second season, the bond between the Spies and the Chimera Squad evolves into an unbreakable bond, blending adrenaline-fueled action with the harsh and ironic reality of everyday life. Between lively breakfasts and a far from simple coexistence, the protagonists will discover that defeating a villain is nothing compared to learning to live together. But the past hasn't finished taking its toll: from a leaden Rome to the secrets buried between Puglia and Sicily, ghosts and unfinished business resurface. New loves, old grudges, and the search for a hard-to-find normality, on a journey where the true mission is to save themselves from their own memories.

A story about two people who keep finding each other in the spaces between almost and never.

Why do dreams occur at night? And what do they symbolize? Are they fragments of an existing Multiverse? Or are they just mere creations of our own intense feelings and emotions? The question that even modern science failed to answer. Meet Kaizen Mizuki, an ordinary high schooler living an extraordinary nightmare. By day, he survives classrooms, bullying, and the quiet weight of expectations pressing down on him from every direction. By night, his sleep fractures into something far stranger, dreams that feel too real, spaces that exist between waking and reality, and fears that take shape and speak back. At first, they are only dreams. Then they begin to follow him. As Kaizen drifts through liminal worlds where logic bends and fear becomes tangible, he learns that sleep is not an escape, but a doorway. What begins as psychological horror slowly unfolds into something vast, astral travel, higher dimensions, and cosmic beings that do not hate humanity... yet are willing to erase it without hesitation. While galaxies burn and universes tremble beyond human perception, Kaizen still wakes up for school. He still laughs with friends. He still falls in love. Aoi, a girl who is playful, teasing, and painfully human towards him becomes his anchor to a normal life, even as Kaizen is pulled further away from it. Between awkward lunches, quiet walks, and moments of fragile romance, he carries a truth no one else can see, that reality itself is unstable, and he may be the only one standing between the boundary of existence and collapse. This is a slow burn story, blending slice-of-life warmth with psychological tension, scientific curiosity, and cosmic horror, Liminal Drift is a story about crossing boundaries, between dreams and waking, fear and courage, love and responsibility. Because sometimes, survival isn't just about saving the universe... It's about choosing to face it, even when the cost is everything... - P.S- Images in this story are all AI generated

Elena Carter has never been uncertain about who she is. She observes. She listens. She decides - carefully, deliberately, without needing to explain herself to anyone. Adrian Blake builds his world the same way he approaches everything else - with structure, precision, and control. Every decision has a reason. Every step has a purpose. They come from families that understand ambition, expectation, and the quiet weight of both - where choices are rarely simple, and nothing exists in isolation. In a world where most things are negotiated, calculated, or assumed, they are the kind of people who still pause. Still question. Still choose. This is not a story about being carried by circumstance or pulled into something inevitable. It is about what happens when clarity meets expectation. When instinct resists what makes sense. When two people who are used to deciding for themselves are asked to consider something that was never entirely theirs to begin with. And the quiet, deliberate choices that follow.

‎A cynical cartography of what's left when the lie collapses.

Like sunlight filtering through leaves, emotions hit me in scattered, confusing patches. Some spots are warm; most are entirely cold. A collection of thoughts from an outsider looking in, trying to find a reason to step out of the shadows

Some feelings arrive with names. Others linger for years before we learn what to call them. This collection is a gathering of those moments. Poems about grief and love, anger and hope, fear and healing, loneliness and wonder. About the ordinary days that quietly shape us, and the extraordinary emotions we spend a lifetime trying to understand. If you've ever carried something too heavy to explain or too plain to become memorable, perhaps you'll find a piece of it here. Poems are random. A collection of pieces written over the years. Enjoy!

Collection of drabbles written for the '3frasificchallenge' of of @Non solo Sherlock - FB multifandom events group. Every miny story is made only by three sentences with a prompt made of three words. AKA some Goldery (Joe/Bronte) missing moments and slices of life, hope you'll enjoy. SPOILER if you don't know Season 5

A collection of my most personal poetry from recent years as well as some creative exercises that I did to get my mind thinking differently.

This isn't a romance novel or a mystery thriller. It's simply a collection of my thoughts, late-night reflections, and the lessons life has taught me over the years. Some pages hold poems. Some carry memories. Some tell short stories inspired by my experiences, while others capture feelings I never knew how to say out loud. These are pieces of myself I never intended to share. Yet here they are-not for attention, but as a record of who I was, what I felt, and how I grew. Maybe these words will remain just my diary in public form. Or maybe, somewhere along the way, they'll find someone who needs them as much as I once did. Welcome to the pages I never meant to share.

When a bruised stranger appears at the door asking for Zara, Shumaila's carefully ordered life shifts in an instant. The man calls himself Ashar-and Zara's reaction to him is enough to make one thing clear: this is not a simple reunion. What follows is a quiet unraveling. As Ashar settles into their small apartment, fragments of the past begin to surface-through hesitant conversations, conflicting memories, and long silences that say more than words ever could. To Shumaila, who stands uneasily between them, the story refuses to align. Each version feels true. Each version feels incomplete. Zara, who has spent two years building a fragile sense of peace, now finds that past decisions are not so easily left behind. Ashar, carrying his own history of loss, anger, and persistence, is certain of what he wants. But certainty, Zara begins to realise, is not the same as clarity. Caught between loyalty, dignity, and something that still lingers unspoken, the three of them are drawn into a space where no choice feels simple-and no silence feels empty. What Lies Between Us is a story of return, of memory, and of the difficult space between what was and what could be. There are six parts.

"When words fall silent, the soul reaches for ink." Ink of Soul is a collection of poems that captures the many shades of the human experience-love and loss, hope and healing, joy and sorrow, dreams and memories, silence and self-discovery. Every poem is a piece of the soul, written not just to be read, but to be felt. Whether you seek comfort, reflection, or inspiration, these pages invite you to pause, connect, and discover a part of yourself between the lines.

Synopsis: Limerence is not just a love story. It's a series of misfortunate events that lead us to becoming. It's a story about recognition. About what happens when the universe orchestrates something too precise to be coincidence, when two people meet not by accident but by design. It's about a reckoning and the rupture that follows. It's about reverence. Set against the backdrop of soft nights and silent mornings, of city lights and heartbeats in dark rooms, Limerence follows a bond that blurs the line between fate and fantasy. Their love exists in fragments, in glances, in silence, in the ache of what can't be said. It's intimate, disarming, and deeply human. But love, like seasons, shifts. And sometimes the most profound connections are the ones that leave us. They haunt us. They shape us. They teach us how to hold on and how to let go. It's also a reflection on the quiet betrayals that unfold in the name of friendship. On the violence that lingers in the rooms where someone should have already left. Sometimes the people we tether ourselves to begin to rot the very places meant to hold love. And by the time we realize it, we've already bruised the hands reaching out to save us. This is a story for anyone who's ever touched something sacred, fleeting, and real. Even if only for a moment. A song for every soft ache, illusion, and unraveling.

A mature man navigating loneliness, friendship, and the quiet absurdity of ordinary Sundays. Because adulthood turns out to be less dramatic than expected. Or does it?

In a world where kingdoms rise on blood and fade into memory, fate is not a path but a question. Ardon stands united under House Valeryeon, rulers for five centuries, their power bound to the Aetheryn, beings of light and shadow that exist between reality and nothingness. Yet peace is fragile. Kings rule without conscience, and honor has lost its worth. Beyond all lies the Atheria, where reality begins to break. But Ardon is not alone. Elaria, a realm of mystics, holds Luminaera, the crystal that sustains existence itself. As long as it remains whole, reality endures. Something has disturbed it. In Noctyra, where darkness lives, and Aposteles roam, a man without past or purpose walks forward into the unknown. Across worlds, lives unfold, each believing their struggle is their own. They are wrong. Because beyond all of this lives Rei, a boy in a world without wonder. He escapes into stories... until they begin to look back. And slowly, he realizes- He may not be the observer.
