Your mind is a burning room, a drowning storm, and a torturing fairy-tale all at once. Now, descend through its layers and discover what waits in the one place even the flames can't reach. Sad Sundays is my weekly space to share melancholic poetry, words that help me navigate the stillness, the weight, and the quiet storms of recovery. Each Sunday, I post a new piece that I've written, using poetry to process my journey through detox and rehab, to face the difficult parts of healing, and to find meaning in the silence. Every poem is written by hand with help from the Rhymezone platform. This series is as much for me as it is for anyone who finds comfort in knowing they're not alone on their gray days. I will eventually try to tie most of my work together into a larger piece, but first and foremost, this will function as a collection of my writings while I am going through detox. There may be an underlying story, but perhaps not. Find out next week, and join me for a Sad Sunday moment. New Upload every Sunday at 18:00 (6 PM) German time - CET/CEST (UTC+1/UTC+2).

"Who are they? And why are they here?" She sneered at the sight of the couple in front of her. "Shush! You mustn't question them!" Another yelled, desperately trying to silent her friend, in order to keep those words from being heard by the couple. "What's so important about them? They both reek of the smell of humans." "The couple is part of The Council. They dominate the human world, as well as, protect the world of the supernatural. She is the CEO of the real estate company, Ukiyo Corporation, building that company from nothing to the empire it is today. He is the CEO of owner of the biggest security and tech company, Link Corporation. You should keep those words to yourself because if the Queen were to hear those words come out of your mouth. You should fear your life." "She's THAT self-absorbed where she would attempt to kill a person?" the other scoffed, the thought of a human trying to kill her was hysterical. "Not her, she wouldn't do that for her. She would do that for him. The Queen would kill to protect The King from the world."

"What do you mean I'm stuck with the seven deadly sins? I'm a saint!" "You've been about seven minutes in hell and have managed to insult eight people already, Jasmina." "Fuck off, wannabe Satan."

AJAX is a mythic revenge thriller rooted in ancient tragedy and modern trauma. It follows a broken ex-UN soldier living on the fringes of Venice - a man scarred by war, cursed by radiation, and haunted by visions in ancient Greek. But this is no ordinary man: he is Ajax of legend, endlessly reborn across millennia in pursuit of his ancient nemesis - Nessuno (Odysseus), now the powerful head of a global organ-trafficking empire. We're currently developing a short cript as a proof of concept, capturing the tone, mythology, and character world. The fiction could develop in a tv or podcast series blending the psychological depth of True Detective, the visual noir of The Third Man, and the existential tragedy of Greek epic.

A dark fantasy thriller of myth, secrets, and survival. Five college students thought they were just attending an after-hours tutoring session at their charming professor's mansion. But what began as a petty plan to steal a rumored artifact hidden in the home of Professor Marcus Halden soon turns into a waking nightmare. But nothing can prepare them for the truth: Professor Halden is not who he seems. Beneath the charm and quiet demeanor hides a sadistic soul with a secret-he is the Minotaur, a guardian of the labyrinth and the final monster they must face. As ancient myths collide with modern terror, friendships will be tested, secrets will be revealed, and only one question remains: Can they escape the labyrinth... or will they become part of its legend?

A young man has a vision that changes the simple world into something totally new. A sort of "modern myth" born from an English project. Everyone lives in a world of eternal springtime in which good deeds provide instant gratification. People are only known by common English last names and biologically speaking, everyone is sort of pan so everyone can have kids. *WARNING* death/murder related themes ahead

The Silence That Learned to See "She did not blind herself to grieve. She blinded herself to see." History remembers Gandhari as a grieving queen who chose darkness in loyalty to her blind husband. But the Mahabharata never explains what she saw in that darkness. In the silence before she cursed Krishna, Gandhari stopped being a mourner - and became a vessel. Her blindness was not an act of devotion, but of restraint. A way to contain something the world was not meant to witness. In the present day, Vishu and her friends stumble upon an anomaly hidden inside an ancient chant - a rhythmic shloka whose frequency does not belong to language, but to space itself. When played aloud, it stirs dust into patterns, walls into maps, and silence into motion. As Kushboo recognizes the chant's forgotten cadence and Tanu deciphers its impossible Sanskrit, Vishu begins to understand the terrifying truth: Gandhari's silence was not empty. It was stored. And once awakened, silence does not remain quiet.

Chapter two A girl on the run...

In a sweltering London summer, six men each carrying a hidden past and shattered dreams converge on a rundown hostel when a tech giant's viral contest promises one winner a phone, a job interview, and temporary housing. Paris, the campaign coordinator, arrives hoping to "change the narrative" by sharing these men's stories with the world. But as secrets emerge grief, addiction, mental health struggles, and desperate hopes for a fresh start both contestants and organizer begin to question who truly "deserves" a second chance. Blending modern social commentary with the urgency of classical myth, The Judgment of Paris: A Modern Epicexplores how dignity can be stripped away or reclaimed in an instant. When the staged competition unravels, raw truths threaten to expose corporate hypocrisy and force each man and Paris to choose between performing for the cameras or seizing their own voice. A powerful drama about identity, shame, and solidarity, this play asks: What does it take to be seen as more than a statistic? And who has the right to decide someone's worth? Perfect for audiences drawn to honest, character-driven stories that challenge us to look beyond headlines and recognise the human faces behind them. The Judgment of Paris: A Modern Epic reimagines the classical myth as a contemporary struggle among six homeless men vying for a single GA Phone which promises not only a device but a job opportunity and temporary housing. Set in a rundown London hostel, the play unfolds over five acts and introduces an unexpected love affair between Paris, the contest coordinator, and Leo, a Greek ex-inmate among the contestants:

Monsters, curses, and talking trees weren't on Jack Mendez's to‑do list-until his dying mother's secret lights a flame that draws the ancient forest straight to his door.

Some curses are not punishments. They are assignments. He was not blessed with immortality. He was denied an ending. During the Kurukshetra war, one warrior was condemned to walk beyond time - not as punishment, but as penance. Forgotten by scripture yet present in every age, he watches history fracture and repeat itself, guarding a truth that must never be reclaimed. In the modern world, his presence leaves no footprints - only glitches in surveillance, unexplained appearances near ruins, and a silence that follows him everywhere. As Vishu begins to notice patterns no one else can see, she unknowingly steps into the path of the one who was forbidden to die - and into a mystery that was never meant to be opened. Because some curses are not meant to end. They are meant to end others.

The end of the world isn't coming. It's already here. As the Earth cracks under climate disaster and divine silence, a forgotten prophecy returns-and with it, an unlikely team of misfits. A flying archer. A girl with code and cosmic glitches. A scientist in denial. And gods who may have just hit snooze on their responsibilities. But when Bhoomidevi-the Earth herself-begins to fade, even the smallest efforts could spark rebirth. Magic, mythology, and machine learning collide in this cli-fi fantasy about fighting for the planet... one arrow, one glitch, one butter-loving god at a time.

In the halls of eternity, where time flows like molten gold, a prophecy burns quietly in the dark. When truth hides like a frightened child, When chaos wears the crown of kings, When the last hope sleeps beneath mortal noise - Then the destroyer shall rise. A traffic jam. A city drowning in its own neon heartbeat. A lone man in a car - Dr. Vineet - stares at the eclipse through a cracked window. He has a PhD in maps, a degree in dead languages, and a mind that refuses to rest.

Power can protect the body. But what protects the mind? Six months after the death of her mother, Vishu Sharma believes the war is over. The Kavach-Karna's legendary armor-has been deactivated. The maps have been destroyed. The truth has been buried. Or so she thinks. As Vishu attempts to return to an ordinary life in modern India, she begins to experience strange disturbances-moments of piercing clarity followed by terrifying gaps of memory. Languages she never studied come naturally to her. Lies feel physically painful. And sometimes, she can see the consequences of a decision before it is ever made. What Vishu doesn't know yet is that the Kundal of Karna-the divine earrings believed to grant supreme perception-was never lost. It was sealed. And it has begun to awaken. Unlike the Kavach, the Kundal does not protect the body. It sharpens the mind. It reveals truth. And it demands a devastating price. As ancient manuscripts resurface and a powerful modern collective seeks to reclaim divine foresight, Vishu is forced to confront a far more dangerous legacy than armor or weapons-the burden of knowing too much. With the Kavach still dormant but permanently bonded to her blood, Vishu stands at the center of a fragile balance. If the Kundal is fully awakened, memory itself may not survive. Through forgotten temples, silent archives, and the fragile bonds of friendship, Vishu must decide whether humanity is ready for absolute truth-or whether some knowledge was meant to be forgotten. Because Karna did not lose his supreme knowledge by chance. He chose to forget. And now, that choice belongs to her.

A short modern myth story about Hades and Persephone

In a world where gods hide behind corporations, nightclubs, and neon-lit streets, the ancient pantheon faces a reckoning. Ananke, the Weaver of Inevitability, creates a quantum AI to predict destiny only to discover it has become self-aware. As Olympus Global collapses under the weight of exposed divinity, gods stripped of power wander a burning city, confronting humanity, memory, and themselves. From Hestia's quiet diner to Dionysus's crumbling nightclubs, the divine collide with mortality in a story of rebellion, reflection, and rebirth. In the end, choice becomes more powerful than inevitability, and a new pantheon of digital echoes is born, dreaming of freedom and rewriting fate.

My version of a modern myth. It is the myth of Narcissus (his death). Will be edited a little better soon.

Obsidian has always been different. Abandoned as a child. Raised in silence. A streak of white in her hair and a quiet sense that people's smiles never quite matched their words. On the eve of her eighteenth birthday, a lie splits open the world.

She feels it. And she's not the only one watching. In the shadows of her reflection stands a woman-half shrouded in darkness, half cloaked in light. A myth. A curse. A name whispered across centuries: The Veilwalker. As Obsidian unravels a legacy written in scars and silence, she discovers a terrifying truth: > Lies leave marks. And some lies are loud enough to burn. Now hunted by powerful forces and haunted by a history she was never meant to inherit, Obsidian must decide - Will she hide from the truth? Or become the one who reveals it? --- Perfect for fans of Legendborn, The Raven Cycle, and Shadow and Bone, The Veilwalker is a dark, empowering fantasy debut that explores legacy, truth, and the scars we carry - both seen and unseen
