Prose Stories

A literary-apocalyptic novel blending myth, ecology, and psychological survival. The story unfolds after a global cataclysm-nuclear fire, volcanic upheaval, and the planet's rebellion against humankind. Narrated by an entity not of this Earth and not Human. Spectating Ella, a young athlete stranded amid the eruption of Yellowstone, and Doyle, a coastal survivor navigating the drowned remains of the East Coast-the narrative moves toward the awakening of Gaia, the Earth personified as a wounded deity reclaiming her dominion. The prose is dense, cinematic, and poetic-echoing Cormac McCarthy and Jeff VanderMeer in tone-rendering destruction as both horror and transcendence. Themes of isolation, repentance, and renewal recur as nature's vengeance becomes divine ritual.

I'm running out of explanations here. I'm winging it. I'm always winging it. The title just felt right and damn, here we are. It's poetry so if it's not your thing, you might like it. Occasionally, it may be a little prose, depending on the feeling but we'll try to keep it consistent. Does anyone ever even read these things? Ok it's about a boy, a lonely boy. Sometimes he feels like he's a thousand leagues under the sea. Other times, it's like he's been severed from reality. Whatever that means. This boy, just wants the world to understand him. But it has no obligation to. So he's stuck on the outskirts of everything and everything else hoping for some sense of clarity. It never comes. It never will. This is a documentation, of his never ending pursuit. That was decent, right? I do love letters, letter letters, confessions, police statements on the side, in case you need them. Basically, I'll handle the ever living heaven out of your writing needs. The sick part, is that it's free so feel free.. to blast the message board and I'll take the time I usually use to do something constructive and meaningful to tend to your requests. Read well, friends.

The ramblings of a woman who spent too much time in confession and too little time trying to figure out what exactly she was apologizing for.

In the dystopian society of Particle City, happiness is shoved so far down a person's throat, it's hard to tell what's real and what's not anymore. Most everyone there is internally crumbling, but under their commander, humanity is simply a suggestion. So they put on a happy face and do their work. Astra is one of the thousands upon thousands of victims trapped in this vicious cycle of fake smiles and oppression that seems unbreakable. When she finds out the secrets of her beloved society, things unravel into a rebellion she never saw coming.

✦ COMPLETE ✦ - Book One (no cliffhanger) His greatest sin wasn't treason. It was having a half-human daughter. Prince Eirran is a winged Ilari, a former warrior and Seraph. His only crime was loving a human woman - a crime that cost her her life and left him with a living, breathing secret: their daughter. Lily is half-human, half-Ilari, and utterly wingless. A "mudborn princess" - not a title, but a slur. Her very existence is a blasphemy that could shatter the empire. To protect her, Eirran must hide her in plain sight, battling the vipers of his court who would see her erased. But as Lily grows, a dormant inheritance awakens within her - that could unravel the world itself. Earthborn blends political intrigue with mythic atmosphere and deeply intimate character work. For fans of the fierce parent-child bond of The Last of Us and the Witcher. This is a story where love is not a romance, but a rebellion. This story features: ✦ A heart-wrenching, central father-daughter bond. ✦ A brave, perceptive girl who learns to stand in a world built to erase her. ✦ Winged races, aerial legions, and political scheming. ✦ Tear-jerking moments & heart-soaring hope.

Set among the coal-choked hills of central Pennsylvania and in the lingering shadow of World War II, two souls from opposite sides of town discover a fragile thread of hope: one hidden beneath the weight of rations, silence, and fear. Darren Murphy, twenty-five, is bound to the legacy of his Irish Catholic descendants - a lineage carved in coal and carried in silence, of men who spent their lives underground to put bread on the table. Seven days a week, he works beneath the earth to keep food on the table for his mother and younger brothers, while his father, hollowed by drink and decades beneath the earth, fades slowly before him. Though the mines have claimed his body, Darren's mind drifts towards a life far removed from the coal-streaked hills of his birth. Claudia Caruso, twenty-one, is the spirited daughter of Italian immigrants, who arrived in central Pennsylvania just two years ago, hopeful and unaware of the world's shifting tides around them. Claudia has stepped into the rhythms of family duty, helping run Caruso's Bakery - a shared haven for the town. A place where old and cross-ethnic traditions endure, providing what little reminders of shared humanity - like the breaking of bread - remain. As the bleak state of the world and crumbling mines below cast a dark shadow over their small, suffering town, Darren and Claudia form an unexpected bond. What begins in secret turns in to a quiet rebellion: a forbidden connection between two families shaped by old world pride, war-time suspicion, and the aching poverty of the American working class. Together, they navigate the fault lines of family, faith, and fear, daring to believe in something beyond mere survival. BENEATH THE SLAG HEAP MOON is a tender and haunting coming-of-age story set against the backdrop of wartime America - an elegy for forbidden love, for inherited grief, and for the quiet, defiant hope of a life far beyond the one passed down.

(SEQUEL TO YOU'RE A MASTERPIECE) Shade Flaurante and Art Mendoza have a few things in common. First, they're both struggling Filipino teenagers. Second, they're both very, very, very queer. And, well, they're both extremely smitten with each other, but they don't want to admit that. Yet. Welcome back for another academic year inside a pink Catholic school! Here's to another year of meeting new people, new friends, and especially new rivals. Join Shade and Art for another messy school year revolving around their unresolved feelings for each other in this messy story of love, friendship, and getting drunk. And they might end up together... Or not. Who knows, really?

a collection of English and Filipino poems written by Cai Solitaire also known as Scarlet_Acin (the photo in the cover is captured by my second cousin)

Hello, you. I wrote these poems to express my love for my friends, my family, and the other half of my heart. Each piece reflects what love means to me-capturing emotions, experiences, and fragments of my soul. What you're about to read are only glimpses of a larger collection. Their complete forms will be available in the printed edition I hope to publish one day. May each piece inspire you to love, to feel loved, and to cherish the people who matter most.

This anthology is a collection of poems by Jcena Mortiff, each delicately exploring different facets of love. Every word seems to long for freedom, every letter thirsts to be set free - born from the deepest corners of the author's heart and mind. Together, they are gathered here, carefully bound, yet brimming with the desire to escape and speak. Step into this collection and lose yourself in the many shades of love, beautifully brought to life by Jcena Mortiff's artistry.

Inside her mind is a room without doors. A place where silence speaks, shadows listen, and imagination refuses to stay small. Imaginations of a Deep Thinker is a journey through the layered universe of a girl who thinks too deeply, feels too intensely, and lives too loudly inside her own head. Here, thoughts become poetry, pain becomes confession, and reality bends into stories that taste like dreams and nightmares woven together. This book is not just a collection of writing- it is an autopsy of emotion, a map of inner worlds, and a quiet exploration of the parts of us we hide from everyone else. If you've ever: - overthought your own heartbeat, - felt too much, too fast, - lived more in your mind than in the world, - or carried pain like a second skin... Then this is your sanctuary. Step inside her mind. But take a deep breath first the truth here is heavy, and the imagination is endless.

In a land where prophecy rules, Efilio bears the crescent's weight. Sefina, fire-born and hidden, chooses love over fear and fate. Moon and Venus whisper vows, their union secret, fragile, true. But betrayal darkens the horizon- and dawn departs, leaving night to rue. Both bear the power to shield and save, to fight and win, though scarred by wars. Immortal flames and moonlit courage, yet even celestials are marred by scars.

Blackouts. Nightmares that feel real. A doppelgänger made of scales and shadow. Draven is slipping into Hell one circle at a time and the worst part isn't what he's done. It's what he's becoming.

(Take note that the author (me) will upload a new poem every day for twelve consecutive days until 12 poems have been uploaded, indicating the completion of the poetry series/collection 'Twelve Letters') Synopsis: Twelve Letters is a collection of confessions, memories, and goodbyes written in the quiet of nights that feel too long. Each letter is a fragment of life-small, raw, and aching-capturing moments of love lost, words unsaid, and the weight of waiting for something that never comes. Some letters are to people who are gone, some to people who never knew, and some to the writer themselves, trying to make sense of a heart that keeps breaking. The collection doesn't try to fix anything. It just holds the sadness, the awkwardness, the fleeting happiness, and the tiny sparks of hope. Through these letters, the reader walks alongside someone learning to let go, to forgive, and slowly, maybe, to heal.

What if the maddest man in the world was also the only one who truly understood it? Meet W.O. Wikacy. He's homeless, speaks like a prophet, and wears an ankle monitor. He prays for supernatural wisdom, believes his monologues are divine entertainment, and sees damsels in distress where others see street kids. To the cynical, bureaucratic modern world, he's just another delusional wanderer. But Wikacy is more. He's the twenty-first century's answer to Don Quixote-a man so utterly detached from "reality" that he just might be able to bend it. When an empathetic shelter director offers him a ride, her sputtering car and empty gas tank become the stage for Wikacy's first "public miracle." Soon after, two despondent girls at a gas station-struggling with the very mundane problem of being out of weed-find themselves witnesses to a biblical transformation that defies every law of nature and common sense. Is Wikacy a madman, a prophet, or something else entirely? The Return of Don Quixote isn't just a story; it's a mind-bending journey that asks: Can true genius look exactly like madness? Do "good" and "evil" only exist within the confines of our own minds? What happens when a man refuses to acknowledge the limits of reality, and reality starts to give way? Daniel Perley invites you to a world where ancient chivalry clashes with digital drudgery, where miracles are performed to charge an ankle monitor, and where the most powerful force isn't money or power, but an unshakeable, utterly unhinged belief in one's own divine purpose. Dare to believe? Dive into the wild, unforgettable saga of W.O. Wikacy.

poetry, manuscripts, and other little writing pieces consider this a window into the life of your typical queer american teenager - originally uploaded on tapas under the same name - updates every Sunday at 12pm CST when i have a buffer

This is the journal I write in when life feels quiet on the outside but loud on the inside. The place where love gets messy, calm gets interrupted, and I learn who I am in the moments between the two. These entries aren't polished. They're raw, unfiltered, and written from the space between wanting peace and chasing fire. If you've ever loved someone you shouldn't, waited for someone who didn't show up, or felt yourself slipping in and out of chaos - this is for you.
