    Brian believed that if he kept his head down, did things right, and stayed patient, life would eventually make room for him. Then the airport fell apart. Set alongside the events of Resident Evil: Degeneration, this short horror chronicle follows an ordinary man navigating chaos he doesn't understand-through protests, infection, containment, and loss-without heroics, without answers, and without rescue. This is a story about being one step too late. About believing help is coming. And about how the world ends for people who never thought it would notice them at all.

    High school is hard enough when your best friend betrays you. It's hard enough when your family is barely holding together and your so-called friends make life miserable. But when Cameron, the new kid with a mysterious past, shows up and sits next to Poppy in English class, everything changes. He's frustrating, infuriating, and impossible to ignore. Between late-night arguments, stolen glances, and adventures neither of them planned, Poppy finds herself drawn to someone she never expected. Cameron might be trouble, but he also might be the one person who sees her for who she really is. As Poppy struggles to navigate betrayal, family chaos, and the drama of small-town high school life, she learns that sometimes the people you least expect can shake your world and your heart.

Amidst the countless aspiring designers, one talented and dedicated student stands out - S. With an unwavering passion for your craft, you've immersed yourself in a world of creativity and endless possibilities, leaving little room for distractions. But on one fateful night, your friends finally manage to pry you away from your work assignments for a well-deserved night out. Reluctantly, you agree, hoping to find a brief respite from the world of fabrics and sketches. Little did you know that this night would change everything. As you navigate the vibrant streets, laughter and camaraderie fill the air. And then, almost as if fate had intervened, your eyes lock with a familiar face. It's Jungkook, the enigmatic member of the world-renowned K-pop group BTS. Excitement and disbelief course through your veins as you watch your friends erupt into ecstatic screams, realizing they've encountered a global superstar. But amidst the commotion and euphoria, you notice something others might have missed. The pain in Jungkook's eyes is unmistakable, a glimpse into the struggles that come with immense fame and adoration. You can feel a sense of confinement, as if he longs for a moment of respite from the spotlight that surrounds him. Driven by empathy and an inexplicable connection, you gather the last ounce of courage within you and lean over his shoulder. With sincerity in your voice, you ask him a simple question that could hold the key to liberation, "You wanna get out of here?"

    "𝘕𝘰𝘵 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦," he whispered then put me down quickly. The storm stopped and it went back to sprinkling. I tried my best not to show any attitude in my face, but I couldn't help it. I wanted it to drag on longer. He smirked before he gave me a knowing look. "𝘋𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘨𝘦𝘵, 𝘒𝘢𝘪𝘢. 𝘐'𝘮 𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘤𝘢𝘱𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘯." ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Kaia, her whole childhood, has been told her powers only bring forth tragedy, so much so that she decided she wants to lose it all - The gift of happiness, rain, and her very own life. However, Naven, not fond of seeing soldiers of his lose hope, helps her to see otherwise. .... Will Kaia find that life is as much as a necessity to her well-being as rain is to flowers, or will she only fall into this so-called tragedy that she's been born into? ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ➥ Started 1/28/21 - Finished 2/9/21

    This book is a compilation of everyday incidents which I encounter with my two little girls ages 02 & 06; These two never fail to amaze me and sometimes annoy me with their witty and smart talks and justification for their naughty antics. In the end it all ends with me smiling to myself, hugging them more closer and wondering how on earth are they like this!! I love them 💕💕 enjoy .
