When her family moves to Miami in January, Raven Mitchell isn't looking for a fresh start.
She isn't looking for much of anything except a way to get through the day without letting anyone see what October left behind.
But Miami has a way of finding you whether you're ready or not. So does the group of people who slowly pull her into their orbit-each carrying wounds of their own, each trying to survive life the best way they know how.
What nobody tells you about healing is that everyone wants to help you do it.
But none of them actually can.

"Maybe dreams do come true after all. Even dreams we chase at midnight hours, Shorts."
At least Ray had dreams to chase. I ran away from mine.
I have nightmares.
The kind that don't only happen when my eyes are closed.
At its heart, That October Night isn't about finding love. It's about learning that nobody can want your healing for you. You have to want it for yourself.

Where Dreams Kiss Reality
In the vastness of the night, darkness always wraps around, carrying dreams that seem as if they were real. But what if these dreams were true-how would you react, or what would you feel? Are they merely creations of the mind, mere fantasies, or could they be dreams intertwined with a part of yourself-a forgotten love? Yet, what if this dream is more than imagination-a connection the mind cannot explain? Achelliouse Wayner Kajiyasuki II repeatedly dreams of a woman he cannot recognize, yet who feels familiar to his heart. With every awakening, the question lingers: who is she, and why does she hold a place in his heart? Between dreams and reality lies a secret that could change everything. Sometimes, a dream is not just a dream-sometimes, it is the path back to a long-forgotten love. ©All rights reserved.

Connections: Stories
From a simple conversation happening between two Filipina astronauts, to an individual confessing his true feelings to the person he loves, to a failed missing person's investigation and the lover searching for his whereabouts in the Philippines, to a story about the woeful memories surrounding a rabbit plushie in the United Kingdom; a conversation happening between people at night with a campfire, about spirits and passion, in Norway; to a dying animal's thoughts about the person that saved it, to the letters given to the person that matters to one's life, to a man trapped in a cursed town and more. These 30 stories compiled in the months of August 2023 - February 2024, made in handwritten yellow pad papers and shared to the world for the first time shows that there are ways we find to connect with others through the stories we tell to one another. Stories dealing with the loss of a loved one, the horrors of reality, about the challenges faced in life, a longing for the person we loved, the laughter shared in-between, the hopes we treasure for tomorrow and beyond and of the little interactions that happen in life. It is through the attachments, love, support, consistency, determination and dreams do we find the will to push through and accomplish what needs to be done that is set out for us to tackle. Goals and art; sacrifices made and understood; and the belief that chasing the dream is all worth it and that it helps us connect and inspire us to do what matters the most.

Misunderstood ✅
They were the exception The promise meant to be broken They were so alike yet so different They didn't want to admit it even though the truth shone brightly The thought of them being alike was so sickening that they turned a blind eye at any given opportunity They say opposites attract but for Nevaeh and Leonardo that was not the case "Why are you still here ?" She questioned I looked up to see her curious facial expression "I couldn't leave you here" I simply said and shrugged my shoulders , I was both lying and telling the truth. "It's not like I asked you to stay" "You didn't have to" "Why are you such an asshole ?" She said I could feel the intensity in her voice the way she held back all the anger and frustration . My blood was boiling not from the fact that she just swore me but from the fact that I didn't have it in me at that particular time to respond to her rude remark instead I just pushed down my anger and breathed "Well when people paint you out to be someone you end up becoming that person" "So just because they paint you out to be someone doesn't mean you have to live up to their expectations" I chuckled a low chuckle and looked out into the horizon she's so gullible so oblivious to this world to this cruel evil world , "And yet here you are living up to their expectations".......Complete
