Terminalillness Stories

My Last Rites My Brother Performed My Last Rites While I Was Still Alive. At fifteen, I was called a monster for a crime I never committed. My family performed my last rites and declared me dead while I was still alive. I begged them to stop. No one listened. I begged them to believe me. No one did. At sixteen, I watched the same ritual with numb detachment. At seventeen, I stopped caring. At eighteen, I watched it with amusement. Because I knew... It would be the last of my last rites I would ever witness. I laughed. Because I knew the next funeral would be real.

Update schedule:- Every Thursday on stck. (For followers) Every Monday on Wattpad. -------------- Some people disappear loudly. They scream, fight, leave, and make sure the world notices their absence. Vanika didn't. She stayed. She breathed. She smiled when expected to. She learned when to lower her eyes and when to pretend she was fine. This is not a story about a girl who wanted to die. It is about a girl who wanted to live, but slowly realized that no one around her wanted her alive. Families don't always abandon children by leaving them behind. Sometimes they abandon them by keeping them close, feeding them, educating them, and still making them feel unwanted every single day. Vanika was loved on paper. Fed with money. Maintained with silence. And when life finally asked her for more than her body could give, when illness crept in quietly and motherhood arrived briefly and left brutally, she did not cry loud enough for the world to notice. Because she had already learned something far more dangerous than pain. She learned how to disappear while still being present. This book does not promise comfort. It does not promise justice. It does not promise that love will fix everything. It promises truth. The kind that makes you pause mid-page. The kind that makes you rethink how easily we judge, ignore, or wound the quiet ones. If you are looking for a beautiful love story, you may want to stop here. But if you are willing to witness what happens before someone disappears completely - turn the page. Vanika is waiting.

Viraha never had it easy. A rough childhood, people who were supposed to love her but didn't, and a first love that turned out to be a mistake. Then she met Aahan. He wasn't perfect, but he loved her in a way no one ever had. For the first time, she let herself hope. She said yes to him. Yes to starting over, yes to a future together. But some stories don't go the way you want them to. Not every first ray of light gets to stay long enough to become a sunrise.

Kabir Chadha is twenty-nine, single, and one missed promotion away from admitting his five-year plan expired without telling him. His mother runs the family WhatsApp group like a small nation-state. His best friend feeds him Maggi and diagnoses his emotional avoidance for free, no charge. And somewhere between a disastrous arranged dinner and a girl on a dating app who rates parathas for sport, Kabir is almost, almost, getting his life together. Then his father, a retired Hindi teacher who has recited the same Ghalib couplet at every family function for thirty years, starts forgetting its second line. What follows is one year in Kabir's life, lived at the exact volume of his enormous, chaotic, deeply loving Delhi family, where comedy and grief are made to share the same room, and sometimes the same sentence. Almost Adulting is a novel about the year everything held together and came apart at once: showing up badly, loving loudly, and discovering that adulthood was never a finished thing you arrive at. It's just choosing, on the ordinary Tuesdays nobody remembers, to keep showing up anyway. Funny, aching, and unmistakably alive, this is a book for anyone who has ever laughed at a family group chat with tears still on their face.

The Days We Borrowed Some people spend a lifetime searching for the right person. Elias Carter found her when time was already running out. He never expected a girl with a laugh that could fill an empty room to change the way he saw the world. Ariana Hale was sunlight in human form-always smiling, always teasing, always convincing everyone that tomorrow would come. But tomorrow was never promised to her. Behind every smile was a secret she carried alone. A countdown no one could see. And while Elias was dreaming of forever, Ariana was quietly learning how to say goodbye. Together, they begin stealing moments from a future they know they may never have-sunrises, rainstorms, late-night conversations, promises, and memories that refuse to fade. Because love isn't always about growing old together. Sometimes... it's about meeting the right person at the wrong time. And sometimes, forever is nothing more than the days we borrowed.

At just twenty-four, Moke's world crashes down around him. Diagnosed with a terminal heart condition and drowning in a suffocating, pitch-black depression, he leaves the chaotic rush of Bangkok behind. Convinced he is nothing but a ticking time bomb and a burden to his grandmother, Moke retreats to a quiet, forgotten Thai village to let his final days slip away in absolute silence. He has completely surrendered to the shadows, waiting for his weak heart to take its final beat. But the universe refuses to let him fade away. Enter Day, the vibrant, fiercely protective owner of a small lakeside cafe. Beneath Day's radiant sunshine smile lies the lingering ache of his own past-the agonizing helplessness of watching his mother wither away from an illness he couldn't cure. The moment Day looks into Moke's hollow, defeated eyes, he recognizes the phantom of death. And in that silent exchange, Day makes a solemn vow to his late mother's memory: he will not let the darkness consume this fragile boy.

Maya and Chloe didn't just grow up together; they were woven into the same fabric. Born in the same hospital room just three hours apart, they shared first steps, scraped knees, embarrassing teenage crushes, and the unspoken promise of a lifetime. They were two halves of a single soul-Maya, the grounded anchor with a quiet ambition, and Chloe, the vibrant, chaotic sun who filled the world with 4+ multi-texts and fiercely loyal love. But when an unforgiving diagnosis turns their perfectly planned future into a countdown, the ultimate test of their bond begins. Written through the lens of a devastatingly beautiful bucket list, late-night phone calls, and the lingering echoes of a friendship that transcends the grave, The Eulogy of Us is a raw, relatable, and heartbreaking look at love, loss, and the devastating beauty of saying goodbye to the one person who knew you best.

In the vast silence of the desert, where stars stretch endlessly above and the road disappears into the horizon, Ivy is chasing something she can't quite name. A rare celestial event. A final promise to her late sister. A reason to keep moving forward. But fate has other plans. A wrong turn leads to a collision-both literal and life-altering-leaving her stranded with Evan, a stranger whose easy smile hides a secret he's not ready to share. With no cell service, no map, and only one car between them, they set off on an unexpected journey across the desert-from ghost towns and golden-hour canyons to laughter beneath towering metal jackrabbits and quiet moments that feel like both too much and not enough. Ivy wants control. Direction. Closure. Evan wants to see the world before it slips away. What begins as friction becomes connection. What starts as accident becomes something neither of them saw coming. As miles blur behind them and walls begin to fall, Ivy discovers that love doesn't always come with a future, and Evan learns that being truly seen might be all that matters. Because some stars burn brightest just before they fade. And some hearts are meant to meet-even if only for a little while.
