Realish Stories

On April 24, 2004, an impossible archway opened on the South Lawn of the White House. What followed wasn't a clean invasion or a neat first contact; it was chaos, confusion, and a brutal fight for survival as soldiers faced enemies that shouldn't exist and weapons that didn't obey familiar rules. Staff Sergeant Michael Alvarez, a D.C. National Guard MP, survives Day Zero by performing his trained duty: maintaining the line. But when the smoke clears, the gate doesn't close, and the world doesn't get answers. As the U.S. government locks down the truth and builds a permanent foothold around the anomaly, something becomes clear: the Gate is not a temporary crisis. It's a new geographic fact of reality, linking Earth to a ruined capital in another world that fears the Gate as much as humanity does. No heroes. No prophecy. No effortless victories. The White House Event is a grounded, military-focused first-contact story about uncertainty, institutional pressure, and what happens when humanity realizes that the unknown and themselves are permanent.

A Country Called Home by Kimberly Onyekwe Amanda loved Nigeria before she understood its pain. At eleven years old, she saw her country through bright, hopeful eyes-through the warmth of family breakfasts, the chaos of Port Harcourt traffic, the rhythm of Afrobeat, and the beauty of a culture woven with strength, resilience, and pride. To Amanda, Nigeria was more than a country. It was home. But home begins to fracture. As corruption deepens and insecurity spreads across the nation, fear slowly infiltrates ordinary lives. Kidnappings become headlines. Violence becomes routine. Families begin to leave in search of safety, stability, and hope elsewhere. Then tragedy strikes Amanda's family in the most devastating way. In one brutal moment, she loses both her father and brother to the very crisis consuming the country she once loved without question. Grief shatters her childhood. Anger replaces innocence. And the girl who once defended Nigeria with pride is left asking one painful question: What do you owe a country that keeps hurting you? As Amanda grows into adulthood, she faces a choice that defines her life. Leave like everyone else. Or stay. Through loss, betrayal, friendship, political awakening, romance, and heartbreak, Amanda must navigate a nation on the brink of collapse while holding onto the fragile belief that change is still possible. A Country Called Home is a deeply moving coming-of-age story about grief, identity, patriotism, and resilience. It is a powerful portrait of a generation caught between escape and loyalty, fear and hope, survival and purpose. This is a story about loss. This is a story about love. This is a story about choosing to stay. And above all- this is a story about home. Because sometimes the deepest kind of love is choosing to fight for what is broken. Even when it breaks you first.

She told her story. This is mine. After is the other side of a love story-the part that was never told. Not to prove anyone wrong, not to seek sympathy, but to reveal the truth behind the silence. A story about love, regret, loyalty, heartbreak, and the things we carry without ever saying out loud. Sometimes there are two versions of the same story. Sometimes the truth lives somewhere in between.

A Middle aged man, seeks human connection, but during his search the rain pours as he sees a young woman bleeding on the floor alone, he risks himself by seeking healthcare

TARTARUS A Road Novel About the Hell We Carry Inside He bought a ticket to Nowhere. That was all. A tired station at 2:30 in the morning. One working ticket window. Damp asphalt. Cheap perfume. People hugging each other before the road took them away. Then he stepped onto the bus. The driver looked like a man who had seen too much of humanity and kept driving anyway. The route made no sense. The road kept changing. Passengers disappeared. Memories became places. Old guilt boarded without asking. And somewhere between rain, silence, bad coffee, strange stops, and a destination no one could explain, he began to understand the worst truth of all: Tartarus was not waiting at the end of the road. He had been carrying it inside himself for years. Darkly funny, strange, and painfully human, TARTARUS is an existential road novel about guilt, escape, self-deception, and the moment a man finally stops running from his own life.

Reversed retribution is a dark fantasy progression story set between two connected worlds: a modern Earth hiding supernatural forces, and Adreith's journey The story follows two boys walking completely different paths toward the same destiny. Adan is an ordinary student whose life collapses after a deadly school attack awakens a terrifying power hidden inside him.

Armed with strange relics, rope based combat techniques, and an unyielding spirit, he battles to protect the last remnants of the Hillibrims while ncovering truths buried beneath the ashes of a dying civilization. As ancient powers awaken and the line between worlds begins to fracture, both boys are drawn toward a conflict far greater than themselves one tied to forgotten civilizations, living relics, Raiders, Ravens, and a mystery that has consumed the world for generations.

Two families spend years destroying each other over a feud they can barely remember the cause of-while the people actually profiting from their war stay carefully out of frame. That's the engine under Pleasant Valley Wars, and it isn't a 19th-century problem. The novel asks what it costs to keep mistaking the person in front of you for your real enemy, what forgiveness even means when there's no one left to hold accountable, and whether revenge is ever about the original wound at all-or just a debt quietly passed down to whoever's standing closest when it comes due. Nora Callahan watches it happen in real time: capable of sensing the danger building long before it arrives, but never quite able to make anyone act on what she already knows. She doesn't get to stand above the wreckage and dispense wisdom. She has to live inside the uncertainty, the same gap between what's right and what's possible that we all occupy when the people we love are making choices we can't stop-and may not even be completely wrong to make.

An anthology of stories about the invisible strings that tie us down... and what happens when they break. When you're born, a thread ties you to home. Move away, and it thins. Go too far, and it snaps. Each story follows someone new. A boy who can't remember his mother's laugh. A girl who drives 14 hours to feel nothing in her childhood kitchen. A man who cut his own thread and never told his son why. Some threads stretch. Some fray. Some are gone before you notice. How far would you go before you couldn't find your way back?

As Lilianette grows into adulthood, she must navigate family expectations, questions about love and marriage, the weight of her parents' legacy, and the search for her own path. This is a story of love, forgiveness, faith, and hope-showing how the consequences of one story can echo into the next.

"My clothes were also changing rapidly, faster than my eyes could take in, and the surrounding was changing too, getting older..." A collection of independent stories-each one a world of its own. Read them in any order while exploring the fragile line between dreams and reality. Thank you for joining me on this journey.

A mature man navigating loneliness, friendship, and the quiet absurdity of ordinary Sundays. Because adulthood turns out to be less dramatic than expected. Or does it?

The River Remembered Us Some loves are too vast for a single lifetime. They spill over, like rainwater finding old riverbeds again and again. In the first life, they are strangers on opposite banks of a cursed river-she a warrior-queen building a bridge to save her people, he the exiled architect who alone knows why the bridge keeps collapsing. They never touch. But when she drowns saving his blueprints, he writes her name into the stone foundation. The river learns it. In the second, a courtesan and a blind calligrapher. In the third, two enemy soldiers who burn a village together. In the fourth, a nun and a heretic who translate a forbidden scripture. In the fifth, a hunter and a shape-shifting deer. In the sixth, a librarian and a ghost during a war that erases history. And in the seventh-the last lifetime the river will grant before forgetting-a cynical hydrologist discovers that every major flood in history has followed the same invisible path. A folklorist tells her it's not a fault line. It's a memory. Over seven lifetimes, The River Remembered Us is not a romance about finding each other. It is a romance about what happens after: the guilt of forgetting first, the exhaustion of remembering alone, the quiet violence of loving someone for the seven hundredth time, and the question they ask at every riverbank across every century: Is this the life where we finally stop? Or the one where we finally stay? Because the river remembers everything-except why it ever started.

It's forgetting the people who made life worth living. Now, carrying the mark of a withered leaf upon his chest, he must uncover the truth hidden beyond all worlds What does it truly mean to be human?

⭐ CORE CONCEPT The Space Between Us is a grounded, slice‑of‑life YA novel centered on the idea of sonder - the realization that every person carries a private universe of fears, hopes, and pressures. The story rejects melodrama and instead explores the emotional fallout of everyday adolescent stress: miscommunication, family dynamics, identity formation, and the fragile nature of connection. The narrative follows seven teens, shaped by their neighborhoods and family systems, who are forced into sustained contact through a year‑long school project. Their internal lenses distort how they see each other, leading to a catastrophic emotional collapse - and a slow, intentional rebuilding

This is a story about a city that lives in reflections, about a memory impossible to escape, and about a choice that once had to be forgotten in order to keep living.

A sick boy begins dreaming of a world where he can run, explore, and laugh without limits. There, he meets a cheerful boy who looks exactly like him-a version of himself untouched by illness.

Eventually, he must face a choice: Wake up and return to the difficult reality he left behind... Or remain forever in the dream, where he can stay young, healthy, and free. The One Dreamer is a fantasy story about hope, friendship, and the courage to decide what makes a life truly worth living.
