Literary-fiction Stories

Ezryn exists in a world of quiet. For her, silence isn't empty; it's a refuge of clarity in a noisy, demanding world. She understands actions, not words. The weight of a door closing. The logic of a finished task. The sharp, clarifying pain of a burn. When the chaos of other people's emotions encroaches, her first instinct is to retreat behind her own walls. But a single, broken voice on the phone-Liora's voice-pierces that silence with a sound she cannot ignore. Liora is unraveling. The pressure to be perfect, to be strong for everyone else, has finally snapped. Huddled in the wreckage of a devastating family dinner, she is utterly alone, convinced her vulnerability is a failure. The last person she expects to see is Ezryn, a woman who communicates in gestures, not platitudes. Who doesn't tell her it will be okay, but simply sits in the dark with her, an anchor in the storm. This is where their story begins: in the quiet aftermath. It is a slow, aching journey between a woman learning how to fall apart and a woman learning how to hold the pieces. For Liora, Ezryn's steadfast presence becomes a shelter where she discovers that breaking is not the end. For Ezryn, Liora's trust becomes a quiet question she's never been asked before: what is the weight of a touch? The meaning of a heartbeat under her hand? Their connection grows in the spaces between words, in shared silence over morning coffee and the unspoken language of simply being there. But the weight of quiet is a heavy thing... Is it the beginning of peace, or merely a different kind of suffering? Can a person learn to live with their broken pieces, or is true healing something else entirely... © All rights reserved.

He didn't go missing. He stepped away. When Rohan disappears from an elite boarding school in the hills, the institution closes ranks. No questions. No blame. No story. But Siya can't accept the silence-especially when fragments of Rohan's thoughts begin surfacing in the wrong places. As pressure tightens and memories blur into longing, Siya is forced to confront a terrifying truth: some disappearances are deliberate-and loving someone doesn't mean being protected from their choices. The Quiet Vanishing is a slow-burn literary mystery about power, absence, and a love that leaves questions instead of answers.

Elias Rowe transfers to a school unlike any other, it is an institution where students remain from high school through university, where time layers itself into the very architecture, and where knowledge is only half the battle. As a transfer, he must navigate a world of hidden hierarchies, unspoken rules, and faculty whose authority is quiet but absolute. One encounter with a senior professor forces him to confront the system's subtle power and the costs of being observed-and judged-without consent. In a school that blends Victorian halls, futuristic corridors, and untamed woods, Elias learns that calmness is not the absence of struggle, and belonging comes at a price. A story about observation, hierarchy, and the quiet tension between freedom and conformity, Silent Placement explores the ways we survive in a system designed to outlast us.

Some stories are not meant to be told loudly. They are meant to be whispered-kept by those who know that certain truths lose their magic when exposed to the wrong light. Diary of a tree with a wide canopy and shallow roots is one of those stories. It begins with a secret, continues with a mystery, and unfolds like a quiet confession between the narrator and the reader. At its heart lies an extraordinary tree, born from an unseen force carried within a human soul, and a woman who arrives one day with the shape of a mother and the courage to name what fate left unnamed. Through lyrical prose and intimate reflection, this novel explores the fragile space between reality and dream, between what is lost and what continues to grow in silence. It speaks of roots we inherit and roots we choose to plant ourselves. Of grief that never learned how to cry, of lives shaped by absence, and of the stubborn hope that survives even in shallow ground. This is not a story of heroes. It is a story of ordinary beings carrying invisible weight: unanswered questions, inherited silences, and the quiet desire to become someone new. Tender, symbolic, and deeply human, Diary of a tree with a wide canopy and shallow roots invites readers into a world where healing is not about returning to the past, but about daring to move forward. Even when certainty is nowhere to be found. Enter gently. Some secrets are waiting to be trusted with you.

His heart is completed through three lifetimes. He was once a Camel, carrying weight that wasn't his. Then a Lion, powerful yet painfully imperfect. And finally... a Child, learning the courage to soften again. Each life left its own scars- buried anger, unexpected betrayals, quiet forgiveness, and fragile hope. But every path led him toward a single lesson: "We heal when a heart meets another heart." Now, as a dentist in the human world, he meets fear-stricken patients, broken smiles, trembling hands, and eyes that hide stories deeper than pain. And for the first time, he understands what his three lives were teaching him: Compassion is a form of power. Kindness is a kind of wisdom. And healing... is a shared act. This novel reads like a fairy tale in warmth, a poem in clarity, and a philosophy in depth. Once you begin, you'll feel it- this isn't just a story. It's a quiet act of healing.

Set in near-future Seoul, The Algorithm of Spring is a chilling literary novel about intimacy, conformity, and the quiet violence of optimisation. Maya Kim is an artist who has learned to live slightly out of sync with the world around her. When a ubiquitous new platform-designed to optimise love, careers, and social belonging-begins to shape everything from dating and beauty to marriage and reproduction, refusal is no longer a neutral act. It is a red flag. As friends, family, and institutions align themselves with the system, Maya finds that absence itself has become suspicious. Opportunities stall. Histories are rewritten. Even her most private choices begin to register as data anomalies in need of correction. The Algorithm of Spring explores a society where care is indistinguishable from control, and where opting out is reclassified as instability, inefficiency, or risk. Elegant, unsettling, and fiercely intelligent, this is a novel about what happens when freedom survives only as a rounding error.
