Merchant of Venice was a part of my curriculum two years ago, and somehow I still can't let it go even though I should be studying Macbeth for my exams right now(help) I wrote this mainly as one of my enteries for the Open Novella Contest 2026 The prompt I used are prompt 2 and prompt 24 You can read this even if you haven't read merchant of Venice, but I'd recommend reading that before this to understand the real lore

"I am already home. Come when you are ready." He meant his heart was at peace. She thought he meant the grave. "What if the person you loved most in the world showed you the stars, but didn't teach you how to survive the night? She was an Imperator's daughter; he was a condemned artist. They fell in love over a 'stupid' book, but the map he drew her led straight to a graveyard. If you love slow-burn tragedies where the 'Home' you're promised is actually a tomb, you aren't ready for this. The trees were witnesses They watched They remembered They held him And in the end ~ they held her too The Art of the "Stupid Book" is a Roman tragedy about an artist who loved a masterpiece more than a woman, and the girl who paid the price for his 'gilded lie.'

"Love is an ever-fixed mark that looks on tempests and is never shaken." - Shakespeare, Sonnet 116 Jade Ward stopped believing in love three years ago. Now she's a Psychology major with a simple philosophy: expect nothing, observe everything, never be surprised. Liam Callen is the exception she didn't plan for. He's an English Literature major who actually believes in soulmates, in the whole concept being part pf the 1% is possible. She thinks soulmates are a statistical impossibility dressed up in pretty language. When they're forced to partner on a semester-long project dissecting romantic tropes, Jade assumes it'll be easy, she'll provide the data, he'll provide the poetry, and they'll never speak again. But their professor wants more than a paper. He wants them to watch real couples, real moments, real evidence. And somewhere between dining hall observations and texts about love at first sight, the line between research and something else starts to blur. By the end of the semester, they have to answer one question: do the stories we tell about love reflect reality, or distort it? They just didn't expect to become part of the stories told.

You've heard of the Saja boys... but get ready for the hottest boyband... the Toga Boys!

Wilmuh Tremblerod knew from a young age that she would become the world's greatest playwright. Unfortunately, the world, and her talent (or lack of it) disagreed. Until one day, Linus, a young and relatively untrained muse finds her in a bar and inspires her to great things. Of course, she isn't the person he intended inspiring, but everyone makes mistakes. With the subsequent loss of Linus' powers, Willmuh's ability to write compelling and mesmerising plays runs out of control and an alarming number of people decide that Wilmuh has become some literary god, meaning that her very creativity becomes a danger to the world. When a competition is announced to find the kingdom's greatest entertainers, Wilmuh chooses to use her new-found talents to seal her place in history. But with rival entertainers and people in authority rallying against her, Wilmuh may find it harder to achieve than she first thought, and her troupe of wayward and strange thespians may not be able to stop the world from falling under her accidental-spell. And there are faeries, too. But watch out for them, they're really shady. Contains a gratuitous and shameless parody of a Doctor Who episode. I'm not even sorry.

A mysterious woman catches Tom's eye, and then disappears without a trace. Will he be able to track her down? When her dark secret surfaces, will Tom be able to do what is necessary to help her?

Story Description In a world that quietly runs on memory, a teenager wakes up to discover that their name has vanished. It isn't dramatic at first. A pause during attendance. A record that won't load. A conversation that resets itself halfway through. People don't avoid them-they simply don't register them. Friends forget shared moments. Systems no longer recognize their existence. The world continues smoothly, efficiently, as if the protagonist was never meant to be there at all. But they are not lost. As the narrator navigates life without a name, they uncover an unsettling truth: forgetting isn't random. It is curated. Somewhere beneath the city's routines are forces that decide who is remembered, who is erased, and why. Names are not just labels-they are permissions. To belong. To matter. To be counted. Invisible to authority yet painfully real to themselves, the narrator learns how to survive outside recognition. They discover others like them-half-remembered people living between systems-and begin to understand the strange freedom and danger of being unseen. Love becomes fleeting. Kindness leaves no credit. Identity must be built without witnesses. As memory itself begins to fracture, the narrator faces a choice: reclaim their forgotten name and re-enter a world that controls remembrance, or remain unnamed and redefine what it means to exist at all. Told in lyrical, introspective prose, this story is about identity beyond validation, the cost of visibility, and the quiet power of choosing who you are-even when the world refuses to say your name.
