    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.

    When Deniro leaves his life in Manhattan behind, he isn't chasing success - he's escaping the noise. He finds himself in Winhaven, a quiet village tucked between the woods and the railway lines, where time moves like fog. There, he meets Elara, a gentle soul with eyes that see more than they say; Giussepe, an aging Italian painter who once believed art could save a man; and Humo, the stray cat that decides to stay. Through writing, silence, and the rediscovery of music, Deniro begins to heal. He learns that we can't truly leave the past behind - we can only listen to it long enough to understand it. A poetic, human story about love, ego, memory, and the quiet art of coming back to yourself. Because sometimes the soul just needs a place to stay - before it learns to sing again.

    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

    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.

    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.

    Noah Brooks had everything. Wealth. Status. Control. Until one night, it all collapsed - and he walked away from the noise. No plan. No destination. Just guilt in his chest, and silence in his mouth. Then he found a crooked wooden house... And the old man who lived inside it - who asked no questions, gave no advice, and left the door open. In that stillness, Noah begins to unravel. And what he finds in the quiet may be the one thing he never knew he needed: Peace. [Completed]

    Every day, the same chair. The same view. But behind the glass, a quiet existence unfolds - one of waiting, wondering, creating, and hoping to be seen. This isn't a story of escape. It's a story of presence. One pane at a time. It also reflects life with disability - quietly seen, often misunderstood, but deeply felt.

    A quiet day told in three parts. Morning alone. Afternoon with someone who stays. Night with someone who never fully arrives. This isn't a love story. It's the shape of being seen - or almost seen - across the hours that ask for nothing, and still take everything.

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.

    Wiped Clean is a quiet, aching meditation on control, grief, and the rituals we create to hold ourselves together.

Part confession, part recovery, this story gently unfolds the messy, deeply human relationship between care and chaos.

    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.

    "I write, erase, rewrite. Erase again, and then- a poppy blooms." - Hokusai Vincent is twenty, alone in his quiet condo, and one click away from writing a story he's spent years trying to forget. Her name was Sol. She was his aunt. Only eight years older. She used to babysit him, braid his hair with sticky fingers, and cry in her sleep. She died when she was nineteen. Now, through old journals, whispers, and the memories of a difficult childhood, Vincent begins to piece together the version of her no one ever really knew. Not even him. This is a story within a story. Of loss and legacy. Of what we leave behind, and what still remains. Of a girl who lived too softly for this world- and a boy who writes to keep her real.
