Observations Stories

Twenty strangers awaken inside a facility with no memory of how they got there. The only way out is to survive a series of deadly games where every decision carries a cost, every mistake could be their last, and trust is the most dangerous gamble of all. As the number of survivors dwindles, unlikely bonds begin to form in a place built on fear, forcing them to choose between saving themselves and protecting the people they've come to care about. But the deeper they descend into the facility, the harder it becomes to ignore one unsettling question- If the games are only meant to decide who lives... why is someone recording every choice they make? Some truths are more dangerous than death. And sometimes... surviving is only the beginning.

a collection of thoughts she probably would not say out loud. things she notices about people. things she misses. things she pretends not to care about. opinions no one asked for. questionable decisions. memories that come back at inconvenient times. tiny existential crises. movies that changed her brain chemistry. songs she has accidentally built entire personalities around. she writes about growing up, love, loneliness, identity, creativity, friendships, strangers, being perceived, being misunderstood, wanting everything and sometimes wanting nothing at all. mostly, she's interested in people and why they do the things they do. the conversations we replay in our heads. the people we wonder about long after they have left. the strange little moments that somehow end up meaning everything. somewhere between a diary and a conversation with someone we have never met. who is she? some thoughts are easier to tell strangers.

Before I Name It: The Art of Observation What if we observed before we judged? What if, before calling someone hateful, foolish, hypocritical, strange, or wrong, we simply allowed ourselves to see them? Before I Name It: The Art of Observation is a collection of thoughts, observations, questions, and philosophies born from everyday life. It is not a book that claims to have all the answers. It is a record of a mind that keeps noticing, questioning, reflecting, and sometimes changing its own perspective. From religion and belief to human behaviour, morality, creativity, identity, disagreement, and the strange contradictions of being human, these pages explore one simple idea: Observe the world without labels. And when the observation turns inward, observe yourself with the same honesty. Because perhaps understanding does not always begin with knowing. Perhaps it begins with looking.

poetic reflections from direct observations and immediate impressions of the world

still the day's ordinary mind-chatter to the calm of silence and take in these thoughts, running one way then another; catch them--if you can--for a third time on inhale: three breaths deep and hold; and when you, in slow deliberateness, exhale; let the impressions linger at length between the folds and crevices.

clear your mind, for a minute . . . let your senses inhale---breath in, and hold---this air, saturated of these words---of mine. Smokestacks ECole789

The Bite Me series has been a tremendous experience for me and I am grateful to all of you who have read and participated in the many discussions. That has been the place I park those random things I observe, or situations I have lived through - even my views on varied topics. This however is your space. This is where I will write something and want some challenge see? Rarely do I receive anything but praise. So this second Bite Me series is where YOU get to bite back! I want discussion, but I also want differing viewpoints, I want to hear you smack me around the head a bit and challenge whatever I propose. That's the theory at least!

Hello, there. This is a book of a collection of my experiences expressed into words. Some may resonate with you and others may might as well be food for thought. It took me some time to find the courage to do this so I truly hope this is a literary experience you truly like and maybe even reflect on if it applies to a certain point in your lives. I now give you.. Diary of a Garnet Rose Much love, Sereia :)

He never meant to cross the line. At first, it was just curiosity... watching, learning, understanding people from a distance. But the more he observed, the more he realized something unsettling- he was getting too good at it. Predicting actions. Reading minds. Manipulating outcomes. Now the question isn't what he sees... it's how far he's willing to go. Because some abilities aren't just powerful- they're dangerous.

Everyone has a version of themselves they show the world. This is the story of the one they hide. At Maplewood High, appearances are everything. The perfect grades, the perfect friendships, the perfect smiles-everyone is trying to convince the world that they have it all together. But behind every hallway conversation, every social media post, and every classroom laugh is a story nobody else knows. When sixteen-year-old Evelyn Parker begins writing down the moments she's too afraid to say out loud, she slowly realizes she's not the only one carrying invisible battles. As friendships are tested, secrets come to light, and difficult choices reshape the lives of those around her, Evelyn learns that growing up isn't about becoming perfect-it's about having the courage to be honest. The Version of Me They Never Knew is an emotional coming-of-age novel about friendship, family, identity, heartbreak, healing, and discovering that sometimes the hardest person to understand is yourself. Because the strongest people aren't the ones who never fall apart... They're the ones who learn how to put themselves back together.

I have written the following in the hope that people will explore the natural woodlands and meadows of the world with a new, more involved sense. Looking back on how our ancestors conducted their daily lives, and observing and noting their means of survival, is an activity which can have profound positive impact on people in the modern world.

I never imagined I'd end up another statistic. A girl vanished, picked up off the street on her way home, never to be seen again. But here I am, faced with the biggest challenge of my life- outsmart my captors, escape the beast they've created to kill me, and find a way to get my life back. The only thing separating me from death is my wits and I'll need every last one of them if I hope to survive tonight.

~This is not a book . It is a collection of thoughts-some born from experience, some from observation, some from a cup of tea, and some simply from wondering *why things are the way they are.* I believe every day has something to teach us. Sometimes wisdom comes from a great idea; sometimes from a mistake, a conversation, a stranger, a mountain, a moment of loneliness-or even from something completely ridiculous. So I began writing one thought for each day. Some may inspire you. Some may make you question yourself. Some may make you smile. Some may disagree with what you believe. And some may be nothing more than a thought that happened to visit me that day. I don't intend to present these words as absolute truths. Its all intended to my personal Philosophy, to me, is not about collecting conclusions-it is about learning to ask better questions. These pages are therefore a record of my way of seeing: **wisdom and nonsense, certainty and doubt, seriousness and humour, reality and imagination-all allowed to sit at the same table.** If even one sentence makes you stop for a moment and look at life differently, then perhaps the writing has served its purpose. (i hope so):0 Read a page when you need a thought. Read two when you need perspective. And whenever you disagree-you are more than welcome to correct me, That means you are thinking. and i praise that... - YOURS CAPTAIN-

An observation I made hanging out with my friends about a universal shared language: the famous lighter!

Think the meter is for pricing? Think again-it's just a decorative piece of plastic. Step into a world of "fictional-but-too-real" stories where the drivers are philosophers, the roads are race tracks, and "No" is the only answer you'll get. From dramatic monsoon breakdowns to high-speed galli chases, these are the hilarious chronicles of life on three wheels. Grab the handle and pray-this ride doesn't follow any rules. ✨️UPDATES EVERY SATURDAY AND SUNDAY, 9:30 PM ✨️
