Refuge قصص

Peridot used to belong. That is until her world was destroyed and her family are rescued by the DIRA, the Displaced Intergalactic Refugee Agency. But safety comes at a price. Along with thousands of other displaced refugees from across the galaxy, Peri is given a new body, a new name, and a home at the very last place anyone wants: Earth. Earth is strange, beautiful, and full of rules that make no sense. Humans are suspicious. Teachers are unfair. Small talk is a battlefield. The only things that feel real are her new friends, Fierce, funny and gloriously different, and the pull she feels toward the mysterious crystals hidden beneath Earth's surface. When an ancient message is discovered in a long forgotten cave, Peri learns that Earth was never safe for some kinds. As old powers awaken and secrets unravel, Peri must decide who she is, where she belongs, and whether she's brave enough to act in defense of a planet she never wanted to call home. A story about friendship, identity, prejudice, and the art of being human.

Minerva Anderson and Bennett Shaw have been inseparable since birth, getting themselves in and out of trouble around the once-great city of New York, now known as the New Order. At a young age, the two watched as the city become overflowed with refugees escaping from a civil war beyond, leading to two new doctrines that would reform the New Order - walls surrounding the perimeter and an unlucky lottery. Although the walls captivated the two when they were younger, it would take them almost fifteen years to understand the lottery, a test to erase the memory of the people you love to help combat the city's overpopulation. The two know what happens to those who forget, but never about those who remember. Word Count 5/15 - 8,900

Mermaids are different than the tales you hear. They are dangerous, they are untamed, they are wild beasts. To counter the balance of good and evil, sirens strive to protect unsuspecting sailors from these devilish creatures. Lilah knows this, and being a siren with the gift of song, she specializes in luring their ships away from the rocky shores of Shiloh, the mermaid's lair. But one day, something goes wrong, and Lilah doesn't save a ship in time. What she does save is one mortal man: a stubborn, irritating pirate who finds his way into the depths of her heart. Separated by laws beyond their control, Lilah is determined to cross oceans to find her pirate, and save him from the influence of the mer, who won't let their victims escape so easily. Will her efforts grant her the life she desires, or reduce her to nothing but foam? ~*~*~*~ Cover by me Short story

This is a book of poems. Or at least it's supposed to be. I'm not writing this for anyone but myself. It's a project of sorts.

They came to do what was expected: To Seed and Colonise. Billions were scattered - only a tiny percentage would find a viable, fertile home. One such seed fell to earth.

Malika has endured so much injustice at the orphanage, and she has no way to escape that nightmare. She tries all means to change her destiny, only to end up in the streets of Casablanca. At sixteen years old, she has nowhere to call home, no human to reach out to, no... nothing. In the warmth of our normal lives, it is hard to imagine how can people like Malika possibly survive. It is a cruel reality we often forget it exists. Being homeless was never a choice. It simply happens. How does someone finds himself/herself in such situation? Is it possible to break free from this bitter life? Is the future worth the suffering?

What's your refuge? How do you find refuge? Where do you find refuge? Who give you'd refuge? Why do you obtain refuge?

The story of a young woman going back to the orphanage she grew up in to get answers.

Écrire m'est devenu indispensable. Écrire, ce n'est pas seulement mettre ses sentiments, ses ressentis sur un bout de papier. C'est aussi se libérer d'un poids, d'un stress de la vie de tous les jours. Ici, je mettrai tout ce qui me passe par la tête. Des phrases, des poèmes, des chansons... La plupart liés à mon groupe coréen préféré, BTS qui ne cesse jamais de m'inspirer.

Melanie wakes on Monday morning just to find out that people around her are going crazy and trying to eat fresh human beings. She attempts to escape to a safe haven with her friend Brittany...

The meteors didn't just crash-land - they infected the Earth, twisting life and shattering peace. Now, the world is a hunting ground, and we're no longer at the top. Our spot was seized by horrors beyond nature, now slaughtering every living thing they encounter. They were called the Ghorlux. They can't fly. They can't swim. But they're still winning. Can Jake and his friends escape with their lives? Or spend the rest of their days hiding?

Honestly, I haven't put my poems on here for a long time... and I didn't really know how to do it, because everything I write has had its share of pain, happiness and other emotions and experiences. This poetry book is just about expression and I hope you enjoy it. I hope it helps you with whatever you may be going through as well :) Please don't take any of my work. Please like and comment, But most importantly enjoy!
