    "You said you liked my voice," Elsi said, turning to Josua, who was now sitting behind the monitor. "I don't just like it, Milady. I appreciate it," Josua corrected. In this world, many people only want to 'possess' beauty without ever knowing or wanting to 'nurture' the life within.

    Quiet Catastrophe is a dark, intimate tale of two broken lives colliding by accident and binding by pain. Raghav, a Class 12 student drowning in academic pressure, family silence, and the aftershocks of a failed love, meets Prisha in the most tragic way possible-on a road that changes both their fates forever. As hospital walls witness confessions, guilt, and fragile connections, their shared wounds begin to speak louder than words. This is not a story about saving someone. It's about being seen, even for a moment-before everything falls apart.

    Whitby sleeps by the sea, unaware of what walks its streets after dark. Elias has learned how to survive quietly - how to exist between hunger and restraint, between the past and the present. He keeps to the hours no one watches and the places no one lingers. Eliza lives by the tide tables and the weight of old records, unaware that some histories refuse to stay buried. When their paths cross beneath lamplight and salt-stained skies, something ancient begins to unravel. This is a story about monsters who resist becoming monsters, about love found in the space between tides - and the cost of choosing to stay.

    Henna Barrie believed words could save people. She chose literature not as a subject, but as survival. College introduced her to Professor Grekward, a respected marriage psychology professor. Love grew silently, dangerously, never crossing visible lines. Henna wrote everything she could not say. Her silence became a book. Before leaving college, she gave the manuscript to Grekward and asked him to read it in the library. When he read the final page - 'Goodbye' - Henna was already gone. Bella, Grekward's wife, discovered the truth quietly. She left without anger. Grekward was left alone with regret. Henna left, loved again, and lost again. When her boyfriend married someone else, she returned - not for love, but closure. Henna became a writer. Her books healed others, just as writing healed her. Grekward read her success in silence and finally understood. Success had not erased the past. It healed it.

    Love is not always soft. Sometimes it is warm, sometimes it cuts. Sometimes it feels like coming home, and sometimes it feels like losing yourself. This collection of poems explore love in all its form-the excitement of beginnings, the quiet comfort of staying, and the pain that when things fall apart. Theses poems speak of laughter shared under streetlights, memories tied to places and names, and the kind of love that leaves bruises even when it means well. Here, love is messy, imperfect, and painfully real. It is not always happy, not always kind-but it is honest. And maybe that's what makes it love. Love isn't always beautiful. Sometimes it hurts, sometimes it stays. About loving deeply, losing quietly, and remembering in between. So this is what love feels like.

    I spotted her sitting on the edge of the rooftop railing, her pencil scratching away at her sketchbook. I couldn't resist. I sauntered over, a plan forming in my mind. As I approached, she looked up, her eyes narrowing slightly as she sensed my presence. I flashed her a lazy grin, and her gaze dropped back to her paper, but I could see the tension in her shoulders. I snatched her sketchbook from her hands, holding it out of her reach. "Hey, what's the masterpiece?" I teased, flipping through the pages with a chuckle. She glared at me, her eyes flashing with annoyance, but I could see the spark of amusement dancing in their depths. I loved that about her - she couldn't hide her emotions, not even when she was trying to. "Give it back," she demanded, her voice husky and adorable. I held the book closer to my chest, enjoying the game we were playing. I loved teasing her, loved watching her try to get under my skin. And I had to admit, I was a little obsessed with getting her attention. ________________________________________ Set in the 90's, this story follows a close group of friends through school days filled with laughter, games, cassette tapes, and holidays. At its heart is a quiet love that begins in friendship, grows with time, breaks with distance, and waits through adulthood. A journey of love, loss, and memories that never fade. Some friendships grow into love. Some love never lets go.

    Narrator (me): We all have a story to tell, and the idea of portraying our thoughts through art can be seen everywhere. I've always wanted to tell mine too. Apart from having someone to listen we all want someone to understand too, in my generation understanding and listening are two keys that open the doors of mutual understanding, and a gateway to....

    Asher is tired of being awake. Noa is tired of being held under machines that show no love in her remaining minutes. Together, they inhabit a place untouched by time, where pain doesn't follow and nothing asks them to be strong. What begins as comfort slowly becomes devotion - fragile, patient, and dangerously convincing. This is a story about the spaces we escape to, the people we carry with us, and the moment when staying becomes an act of love. "Dreams offer an escape from reality; however, that doesn't mean they reflect the truth of it."
