Mindbending Stories

Most kids fear the dark. They check under their beds or peek into their closets. Convinced that a monster is waiting to pounce. My childhood friend was no different- she swore something lived in her closet. But I've never been afraid of the creature's children imagine in the night. The reason why I hesitate to turn out the lights isn't because of shadows or whispers in my room. It's because I know there are far worse monsters than the ones we dream up in childhood. These monsters don't hide in closets or under beds. They don't vanish when the lights are on. They walk among us. They smile, they speak, and they pretend to be just like us. These monsters aren't deterred by sunlight or locked doors. Security systems don't scare them, and rules don't bind them. They strike when you least expect it, their presence lingering long after they've gone. And once you know they exist- once you've seen them- you can never unsee them. This isn't a story about childhood fears or imaginary creatures. This is a story about the monsters we avoid speaking of, the ones that live not in the shadows, but in plain sight.

The truth is a matter of perspective - and these perspectives are cracked. In this collection of short stories, the voice you hear is rarely the one you should trust. From a prisoner trapped in a cotton-candy hellscape to a killer whose break-ups get messy, these stories explore the jagged line between reality and delusion. Step into the minds of the lost and the monstrous. And remember: the narrator is never who you think they are.

Arin never meant to fall. One moment he's sitting in class. The next, the sky shatters and reality lets go of him. Trapped in a broken dream world where thought shapes reality, Arin discovers a terrifying power known as the Void - a force that erases fear, pain... and everything that makes him human. Watching from the darkness is NOX, a calm and ancient presence who believes emotions are lies and existence itself is tired of struggling. Every time Arin uses the Void, something disappears. A memory. A feeling. A piece of himself. As dreams collapse into reality and silence spreads, Arin must face the question no one wants to ask: If nothing hurts anymore... why exist at all? A dark, philosophical sci-fi series about identity, power, and the cost of escape.

A story about how the life of three friends changes when one of them suddenly disappears. Filled with highs and lows, emotions and excitement, bizarre adventures and dramatic plot twists find out what happens to the missing friend in this mind bending fiction.

This is a story born from truth-one that reflects the darkness of our world through the eyes of the innocent. In a land ruled by an empire that claims peace but breeds oppression, three young souls are thrown into the heart of a war they never asked for. In a city known only as Tellis-a place abandoned by the world and quarantined behind walls-children are forced to climb a mysterious tower, said to test their worth, but truly designed to break them. As they ascend, they uncover lies buried deep beneath history: of ancient bloodlines, devils masked as gods, and a government that fears truth more than rebellion. What began as survival becomes resistance-and what was meant to break them might awaken something even more dangerous: hope. This is more than a war story-it's a reflection of our world told through fiction, where every character mirrors the voiceless, and every chapter carries the weight of the silenced.

📖 The Hours Between Us What if the hours you lost were stolen - not forgotten? Elias Mercer begins losing time. At first, it's small - a few missing minutes, conversations he doesn't remember having, people who swear they've met him before. Then the gaps grow. Hours vanish. Entire days fracture. Some people remember the future. Others are trapped repeating the same moments. And somewhere between past and possibility, a system is deciding who gets to exist. As Elias searches for the truth, he uncovers a hidden loop binding strangers together across collapsing timelines - and a version of himself that may already know how this ends. Time is breaking. Memory is unreliable. And the hours between us may be the only thing keeping reality intact. ⏳ A psychological time-fracture story inspired by the tension of Dark and 12 Monkeys, but completely original.

How many deaths must a soul endure before it becomes whole? A Life by a Thousand Death is a confession made out loud. Not to be forgiven. Not to be saved. To be witnessed. It moves the way memory moves when it is honest, recursive, unfinished, and allergic to clean timelines. What I call the past is not behind me. It is in my throat. It is in my sleep. It is in the way my body prepares for loss before anything has happened. I was called a miracle before I was old enough to understand what that word demands. Later, I was treated like a burden, as if the miracle had expired and only the cost remained. My family did not pass down stories. It passed down rules. Some were spoken. Most were enforced through silence. A person learns quickly what cannot be named without consequences. A person learns to live with gaps, and to call them normal. Each chapter is a record of what had to be cut away to keep going. A belief. A name. A future. Sometimes innocence. Sometimes tenderness. Sometimes it's the simple ability to ask for what I needed without feeling guilty for having needs at all. These are deaths of the soul. Some are quiet enough to hide inside a regular day. Some are loud enough to rearrange the whole house. If you are looking for redemption, you will not find it here. This is not a story about healing. It is a ritual for the in-between. For the ones who kept living when living stopped feeling holy. For the ones who learned that survival is not always a victory, sometimes it is just a continuation. What survives is not hope. Not the kind people sell. What survives is the body still moving. Jaw locked. Lungs dragging air. Steps taken without consent. A life carried forward on discipline, stubbornness, and the strange refusal to disappear. Unholy. Unforgiven. Alive.
