Serene Reyes vanished on a quiet night no one wants to talk about. The police called it a runaway case-no struggle, no body, no urgency. Just a missing girl and a town relieved to move on. Her file was sealed, her name archived, her absence explained away with a shrug and a theory too convenient to question. Detective Serena Seon doesn't buy it. Assigned to cold cases no one expects her to solve, Serena reopens Serene Reyes's file and finds inconsistencies where certainty should be. Timelines don't match. Witnesses remember things differently. Messages disappear. Alibis rot under pressure. The more she digs, the clearer it becomes: Serene didn't run. She was erased. As Serena retraces Serene's last days, she uncovers a web of secrets stitched together by fear, silence, and people with spotless reputations who have everything to lose. In a town that protects its own, asking the wrong questions is dangerous-and getting answers might be worse. Because someone knows what happened that night. And they're still watching. *Everyone gave up on Serene Reyes.* *Serena Seon refuses to.*

Somewhere, a mind stirs-innocent, unaware, marked. And the game begins.

Deranged Echoes of the Past is a haunting psychological novella that follows Delilah, a once-gifted writer now paralyzed by silence and memory. Her obsession with time, perfection, and meaning twists into something darker as her mind begins to unravel. What begins as writer's block becomes something deeper-unreliable memories, voices in empty rooms, a letter received too late, and a knock on the door that no one heard but her. Through fragmenting thoughts and compulsive patterns, Delilah teeters between genius and delusion. As her grip on reality weakens, the lines blur between what she's writing, what she's remembering, and what might never have happened at all. Told with lyrical introspection and creeping dread, this story is not about madness-it is a slow drowning in it. And by the end, the reader is left questioning whether Delilah was ever telling a story at all-or if the story was telling her.

How far can one go for "love"? Is it truly love if it slips into something that consumes you? The idea of love is easy enough to grasp - or at least, that's what we're told. It's supposed to be simple, natural. Two people, drawn together by something unspoken, something magnetic. But what if love isn't as clean and neat as it's made out to be? What if, in its most twisted form, it becomes something almost unrecognizable? Obsession. The kind that clouds everything else. The kind that warps your thoughts until you no longer know what's real. People say there's a line between love and obsession, but how do you find it? When you're already deep inside the feeling, can you even see it? Can you feel the line before it pulls you under? Maybe we never really know. Maybe love is just a disguise for something darker, something we're too afraid to name. And maybe, the question isn't how far love can go, but how far you're willing to let it take you.
