    Some ideas arrive fully formed. Others stay quietly, long before they have a shape or a name. This is a story about presence before identity. About something that existed as a feeling first, and only later learned how to look back. Told in nine chapters, this story doesn't rush its reveal. It waits. And in that waiting, something changes.

    Every day looked the same - until the night I saw something glowing in the air. I thought it was a trick of the light. Then it happened again. And again. Turns out, the universe has a strange sense of humor. Because somehow, I ended up the one collecting them. Stitching them. Following them. They say everyone has a calling. Mine just happens to involve light, patience, and the occasional existential crisis. It's quiet work. It's strange work. It's mine. The Pinion Calling is a story about the small, luminous things that find us when we stop looking - and what happens when we finally say yes.

    Inheritance of Light is a story about love that begins where most stories end - after birth. When her ex partner's daughter was just two weeks old, she stepped into her life. No one prepared her for how fierce, complicated, and beautiful that kind of love could be. She wasn't the one who carried the child, but she became the one who stayed - through long nights, first steps, and all the quiet in-betweens. This is a story about becoming a mother in an unexpected way. About learning that family isn't made by blood, but by presence. It's about the tenderness of loving a child who wasn't yours at first, and the courage it takes to believe that love alone can be enough.

    THE 1000: Archive 01 - CASES Genre: Literary Fiction | Psychological | Mystery | Speculative Fiction | Existential Drama | Anthology Drama | Tech-Realism Language: English Author: Ardini Hapsari A thousand stories. A thousand lives. They don't know each other. But something connects them all. 🕯️ Every life seems ordinary-until you look at it from an unusual angle. 1000 short stories. 1000 real lives, unaware of one another. A taxi driver in Tashkent. A waitress in Lisbon. A student who lost 11 minutes of time. Nothing seems extraordinary. But something keeps repeating. A symbol. An object. A small decision that changes everything. Written in a realist style with a contemporary atmosphere, each chapter captures a fragile slice of life, filled with moral ambiguity and quiet tension. There are no heroes. No villains. Just people-and the overlooked cracks in their lives. You can start from any chapter. You can choose who you want to meet first. But the further you read, the more you realize... this isn't just about them. Each chapter stands alone-one character, one conflict, one life moment. But amid the routine, something strange begins to surface. What first appears as coincidence... starts to feel like a pattern. And the pattern spreads-without reason, without explanation. This first book is a collection of fragments you can read in any order. But the deeper you go, the harder it is to believe it's all just a coincidence.

    Simón doesn't speak in declarations. He speaks in glances, in pauses, in stickers that arrive instead of explanations. This isn't a love story - it's a reflection. Of presence over promises. Of closeness without clarity. Of the quiet between two people who almost reached each other. Told through fragments and silences, Simón, the Unsent Letter is a portrait of what remains when nothing is said... but something is felt.

    A story about holding on when no one asked you to. He didn't stop loving me with a goodbye. He just... stopped showing up. No slammed doors. No final words. Just silence - and stickers. And a cup he still uses every day. The one I sent him when I still believed I mattered. This is not a love story. It's a story about presence. About naming someone who no longer names you back. About staying soft even when they forget the weight of your softness. Written as a mirror - not a diary. This book is for the people who stayed: When no one asked you to. When no one noticed you did. When no one remembered how much it cost you. Each chapter is a quiet ache. Each word is a step toward letting go - without leaving. A slow unraveling of what it means to stay loyal to someone who already let go. If you've ever named someone with your whole heart... and watched them treat it like a sticker - this story is yours. And maybe... theirs too. Even if they never realize it.

    She didn't speak often, but her silence carried stories. In study, in hunger, in memory and voice- she found pieces of herself stitched into metaphors. She Was Made of Metaphors is a collection of short stories that bloom in quiet places- in the warmth of a father's voice, the ache of forgotten food, the weight of words that linger too long. If you've ever listened too deeply, missed something too invisible, or felt too much for this loud world- these pages were waiting for you. - written by Nairü

    The Road Less Taken They say life is hard... But was it life- or was it the way we chose to live it? We forget that we're the ones holding the pen. Our choices, our silences, our small decisions- they write the story long before the ending arrives. This isn't a tale of heroes or grand fates. It's about the quiet roads. The moments that pass unnoticed. The chances we take-or don't. And the beauty found in the paths most people avoid. Life isn't all bitter. Sometimes it just asks us to listen... to notice the little things... to walk forward, even when the way is unfamiliar. So if you're here- maybe you're ready. Ready to take the road less taken.

    Wiped Clean is a quiet, aching meditation on control, grief, and the rituals we create to hold ourselves together. After a string of emotional upheavals leaves her life scattered, a woman finds solace in the hum of cleaning-music loud, hands busy, thoughts tucked safely behind the rhythm of repetition. As the rooms around her begin to shine, so do the corners of her memory-revealing the raw truths she's been scrubbing away. Part confession, part recovery, this story gently unfolds the messy, deeply human relationship between care and chaos.
