People are not always who they seem to be.

What happens when a man meets the woman of his dreams? Well he falls in love and they live happily ever after right? That's always what happens.

That's where you're wrong. She may just be more than the beautiful woman her perceives her to be. She may just come from a crazy how filled with crazy people.

You just might never know..... unless you read to find out.

*I had to write this for my AP English class, so I figured I'd share it with you all. It's a short story    in the style of Edgar Allan Poe.All Rights Reserved

Mrs. Avery by RejectedConcepts

Love is strange. It exists in many forms and is one of the key components that makes humans happy, but there isn't a lot of understanding surrounding it. At least not the kind of understanding with which the average person identifies. Agnes is one of the few people that can accept all kinds of love. Despite her dated name, she is a woman in her late 20's dealing with the death of most of her family. She's now stuck in the middle of figuring out how to raise children that she never saw in her future and deciding what love means for her, when it has to exist within layer upon layer of complication. She let go of her boyfriend after almost a decade because their love wasn't meant to exist under the strain of children, only to find herself confronted with the overpowering connection of her old high school sweetheart. The same man she ran away from because their values hardly aligned when it came to how love should be expressed long term. Within the midst of learning how to raise children and balance her ever-building career, Agnes tries to recover from her mother's death, seek comfort without complicating her circumstance, and figure out why her mother would name her Agnes. Finding real comfort starts to feel impossible, as her most available options are her ex-boyfriend and her assistant. Completed! Rejected 6 times** "This one just isn't for us." By far the most plain rejection I have ever received and I can respect it. 1/22/2022 - 1K 9/28/2022 - 10K

"Do you still have the same feelings for me?" He gently asks. I avert my gaze and look down at the floor. I want to scream at him and say no. I want him to feel what I felt when he treated me the way he did. But damn it, my heart was telling me otherwise. If anything, my feelings for him grew even stronger despite everything that happened. I don't know if you call it love or not, but I know that the feelings are there. "Yes."

Her Darkest Secrets by S_Krystine16

(Completed) Most people don't think horror movies are realistic. There is no ghosts, no demons, and no monsters waiting in the dark to get you. Rationally we know there is evil in the world. There are stories on the news about school shootings and domestic violence. That all by itself is enough evil we can handle. There can't possibly be supernatural evils out there too, right? That's what I believed until I met a woman who changed everything. *Teegan's life has never been very exciting. She works full time and takes college classes just for something to do. Her boyfriend is Mason and they've been best friends for years. After a sudden car accident Teegan meets a girl who can heal her wounds instantly. Without warning she is introduced to a supernatural world that existed right under her nose. Besides all that, her sexuality is tested as well. This mystery girl refuses to leave her mind and she can't deny the attraction.*

Shadows by LAKirkegaard

Some things you just can't avoid, like falling in love. As much as you try to avoid, or search for it, it always seems to find you, or elude you. It seemed to find me every corner I turned, and I always tried to avoid it but alas, for some unknown reason, it found me. I retell my story in this writing, my story of love, deceit, power, and loss. Would you join me if I told you I could give you anything? Even love? Tell me what you need and I will grant you what you wish for. But before I do, will you join me in the retelling of this story? And if you will join me, then watch, carefully, the Shadows.

Insomnia by JRJohansson

"It's been four years since I slept, and I suspect it is killing me." Instead of sleeping, Parker Chipp spends each night trapped in the dream of the last person he's made eye contact with. Every night he is crushed by other people's fear and pain, by their disturbing secrets--and Parker can never have dreams of his own. The severe exhaustion from his brain never truly sleeping is crippling him. If nothing changes, Parker could soon be facing the real life nightmares of psychosis and even death. Then he meets Mia. Her dreams, calm and beautifully uncomplicated, allow him blissful rest that is utterly addictive. There is no denying how badly Parker needs it. When he starts going to bizarre lengths to catch Mia's eye every day, everyone at school thinks he's gone over the edge, even his best friend. And when Mia is threatened by a true stalker, everyone thinks it's Parker. Suffering blackouts, Parker begins to wonder if he is turning into someone dangerous. What if the monster stalking Mia is him after all?

In the novel by Compact_Disk

READ AT YOUR OWN RISK. I wouldn't be posting new chaps in here since I'll rewrite it from the very beginning. But if you guys like reading with a narcissistic fl then, might as well. Maine Tollison a beauty that's unparalleled by anyone. "Umm excuse me are you describing me?" Her beauty is just beyond words. And she knows it. "You know when you describe me it should be 'Maine Tollison who has pale pink hair with streaks of blue, fair skin, face that's super beautiful. In short a godde-- Hey! Are you listening?!" Being beautiful of course she will aim for the guy who is just like her, a handsomeness unparalleled by anyone and his name is Jake Colton but the problem is, they're not meant for each other. "You've already moved on from the beautiful me? How mean! Wait......, Are you talking about Jake Colton? Well I guess it's alright then" How'd she know this? It's all because she remembered her past life and that she's inside the novel and her role in this novel is to destroy his love with the main character. "You mean me being Margaret in my past life? Well it is a kind of sad life. But right now! I'm willing to take the rollercoaster of emotions!" And since she remembered her past life. Maine has other hobbies aside from being beautiful. "You mean my hobby about the piano? Oh! And also my hobby about having part-time job?! What, is that a bad thing?" This is the story about how an egoistic girl survived from middle school, to her friends, to her family, to her highschool and to her feelings.

Until my last breath... by caitlin-naicker

I have read many love stories in hope that mine could end up with a happy ever after. Have you ever met someone and when you look into their eyes it's like everything becomes clear and you realize that you've met your person, that's how he felt the moment their eyes met. This story is unlike you've read; it tells of a man who's willing to go against all odds to be with the one he loves. Tony met Rora when they were in high school, she was his person, he tells us the story of them and takes back to all his good days and bad days with her. when she leaves with no explanation he doesn't give up on her like most would do, he becomes determined to find her, his missing piece. we look into life of a brokenhearted man whose love is strong but his determination to meet his love again is stronger. he has not forgotten the woman who he gave his heart to, the day he asked her to love him until her last breath. he meets her again years later but things aren't as rosy as he wishes they were. She's no longer the girl he knew before and she doesn't remember him at all. It's one that you would call a tragic love story, a heartbreaking tale of a love that could not be... they say true love can survive anything so the question is.... Can he really love her until his last breath?

A Mere Reflection by Kariido

I'd like to consider each part a story in itself. While I always connected the characters with each other, something felt different in each part. It's a story about many aspects of our thoughts, some of which never have touch with reality, and some we see every day. You might not understand this unless you travel inside the characters thoughts, and yours for that matter.
