Cassandra Lowe's parents seem to always be at work, leaving their two children with relatives far more than they would like. One day, Cassie's father gets a call asking him and his wife to take a trip to Australia, thousands of miles away from their children. They accept the offer but know they can't leave their seventeen- and eight-year-olds with their grandmother since she was recently bedridden. The couple decides to entrust Cassandra with watching after her little brother with the help of an assistant caretaker who will make daily trips to see them. The pair is pleased with their arrangements, but when the sitter is late, the couple has to leave before meeting the woman who will be taking care of their children for the next week. With slight hesitation, the couple leave, boarding a plane, assuming the elderly lady would arrive sooner rather than later, but little did they know they had hired a dangerous psychopathic killer named Harry Styles.

AN UNFINISHED FOREVER (A Short Story of Love, Loss, and Closure) "Can eight years of love truly end with a single click?" An Unfinished Forever is a deeply moving journey of a girl who spent nearly a decade building a world within a digital screen. For eight years, she nurtured a bond held together by words, whispers, and wait-only to realize that some 'forevers' are destined to remain incomplete. Through her words, she navigates the thin line between holding on and letting go, turning pain into a legacy. This is a story of closure. This is a story of survival. Why you should read this: Heartfelt & Deep: A journey of 8 years captured in 8 short chapters. Relatable: For anyone who has ever loved a ghost or fought for a digital 'forever'. A Journey of Self-Love: More than a breakup, it's about finding yourself. "Some stories don't end with a 'happily ever after'; they end when the writer finally finds the strength to say... The End." Status: COMPLETED (One-sitting read)

"Indelible habits like these just can't be erased because I always fall in love with the villain Who holds blood-red roses for me and shoots the others with a gun." *** Pieces of poetry, tears and love all being stitched up into a book... *** "Poetry is a divine art to let go of the past and contemplate about the future within the present"

They called me **Nova Pink** before I even understood what it meant to belong to something bigger than myself, before contracts replaced choices and love turned into a headline strategy, before I learned that every boyfriend, every breakdown, every perfectly curated smile could be sold if packaged right; I was built, polished, and priced like a million-dollar dream, but somewhere between the diamonds, the diets, the lies, and the cameras, I stopped being the girl they discovered and became the woman who studies the game from the inside, because if they were going to control me, they clearly underestimated one thing-I was paying attention, and now I know exactly how to play them back.

A collection of short stories, poems, snippets, vignettes, and everything else that crosses my mind and has no place in my current publications, or is waiting in the wings to find its forever home. Here is either where ideas are born, or where they go to die. We will be cruising at an altitude of morally dubious. The time is lost. The weather is sarcastic with a high chance of misdirection. Please, sit back, fasten your seatbelts, and enjoy the ride. Just know, there will be turbulence, and there is a shortage of chairs.

Thoughts, something that for the most part, we all have. Some we release into the outside world, others we keep to ourselves. Whether it be just in our minds, or written down in a journal. This is one of those journals, filled with thoughts and feelings that never made it into the outside world.

Poseidon is a young merman prince preparing to succeed his dying father as monarch of the beautiful undersea kingdom of Pacifica. Melinda is a poor human servant girl who loves the ocean.
