Introspectivefiction Stories

Walking Without Leading is a quiet, grounded sequel to Late Son, following Steven after the world has already decided what kind of man it thinks he is. On the road, Steven encounters a young group of travellers early in their journey - capable, confident, and certain that momentum itself is a form of virtue. He does not take charge. He does not offer direction. Instead, he walks alongside them, saying little, watching closely, and intervening only when harm becomes unavoidable. As the miles pass, the group begins to realise that influence does not always announce itself, and that being seen can be as powerful as being led. This is a story about restraint, responsibility, and the uneasy space between action and consequence. Walking Without Leading explores what happens when problems are not solved cleanly, when heroism is measured in what lasts rather than what impresses, and when growth comes not from answers given - but from questions left open.

When the past comes calling, the line between reality and curse becomes blurred. Keiko must confront haunting ancestral voices and chilling premonitions to break a chain of pain that threatens to consume her. Will she escape her fated end, or succumb to the Rings from the Past?

Sex. Alcohol. Loneliness. Seo Ji-won is rich, handsome, and completely broken. He loves bodies, hates feelings. But then someone comes along who doesn't want to save him. He just wants to stay. And this is scarier than any suicide.

A story about holding on when no one asked you to. He didn't stop loving me with a goodbye. He just... stopped showing up. No slammed doors. No final words. Just silence - and stickers. And a cup he still uses every day. The one I sent him when I still believed I mattered. This is not a love story. It's a story about presence. About naming someone who no longer names you back. About staying soft even when they forget the weight of your softness. Written as a mirror - not a diary. This book is for the people who stayed: When no one asked you to. When no one noticed you did. When no one remembered how much it cost you. Each chapter is a quiet ache. Each word is a step toward letting go - without leaving. A slow unraveling of what it means to stay loyal to someone who already let go. If you've ever named someone with your whole heart... and watched them treat it like a sticker - this story is yours. And maybe... theirs too. Even if they never realize it.

Weeks of distance turn into consistency, and Miami gives way to Detroit as Lyla and Kenneth reconnect in her world. Their meeting isn't awe-inspiring or dramatic - just good company, playfulness, and the realization that some connections deepen when given time. However, even in the calm, Lyla begins to sense that staying may ask something new of her.

Meet Ramblings - the old soul with a pipe, a story, and a chair older than time itself. He's the keeper of words, the fool with wisdom tucked behind every puff of smoke. His timeless presence - worn soft like memory, made for those who think deeply and speak sparingly.

The english translation of my "Vivre dans la moyenne" What if you gave the microphone to that little voice in your head?

Through spiritual reflections, sharp cynicism, and a good dose of humor, she reveals a rarely talked-about daily life-the one many people experience. It's a journey at the edge of the mind and reality, one that promises to stir emotions as much as it invites deep thought. More chapters are to come.
