Mountains Stories

Five years ago, ambitious journalist Jasmine Murphy became famous overnight after publishing a career-defining exposé on millionaire author Grant Kennedy. The article destroyed his reputation, and shortly afterward, Grant vanished without a trace. While Jasmine built a successful career from the story, the life she fought for now feels empty. Burned out and desperate for a fresh start, she escapes to a secluded cabin in the woods to figure out her future. What she doesn't expect is to find Grant living next door. The man she exposed. The man who disappeared. Grant has spent five years nursing the wounds Jasmine left behind. He should hate her, and part of him does. But when proximity turns into undeniable tension, revenge becomes far more complicated. Jasmine wants the truth about why he vanished. Grant wants to ruin her the way she ruined him. The only problem is, he'd rather do it in his bed than in the headlines.

Six friends. One late-night video call. A spontaneous trip to haunted places. A month to feel alive... before everything goes wrong. They shouldn't have answered. Mystery. Friendship. Secrets. Danger.

Somewhere Along the Way Sam never believed that love had to arrive loudly. For him, it began quietly- in the melody of a piano, in fleeting glances across crowded halls, in cold walks beneath mountain fog, and in the warmth of moments that meant nothing to everyone else... but everything to him. At UPES University in Dehradun, surrounded by misty hills, endless assignments, midnight café runs, and chaotic friendships, Sam slowly finds himself drawn toward Nancy-a senior whose presence lingers in his mind long after she's gone. But some feelings are difficult to name. Was it admiration? A passing crush? Or something far deeper? As friendships grow, tensions shift, and hearts slowly open, Sam begins to realize that the smallest moments can change a person forever. Because sometimes- love doesn't happen all at once. It happens somewhere along the way. Author's Note Hello, I'm *The Quiet Wanderer*. This is my very first time writing a story. Like many of you, I started as a reader-someone who loved getting lost in different worlds and emotions through books. But this time, I wanted to become the storyteller and share a journey of my own. English is not my first language, so there may be grammatical mistakes along the way. I hope you'll be patient with me as I continue to learn and improve with every chapter. *Somewhere Along the Way* is a slice-of-life story filled with quiet emotions, small moments, friendships, and the feelings people often leave unspoken. Your comments and feedback truly mean a lot to me. Whether it's encouragement or honest criticism, I'll do my best to learn from it and grow as a writer. And if possible, please try reading at least the first 20 chapters before deciding whether the story is for you. Some journeys are meant to unfold slowly. Thank you for giving my story a chance. - *The Quiet Wanderer*

It is fairly unlikely for a 12 year old to be reaped, as they only have their name in usually under 10 times. it's even more unlikely for it to happen in a rich district, like district 2 and it almost never happens that no one volunteers in that 12 year old from district 2's place.

Google would identify 'Hiraeth' as a Welsh term meaning the strong feeling of longing that is felt for someplace, something, or someone. This is a story of exactly the same thing. A longing. For Love. For acceptance. For belonging. And ultimately for peace.
