Destiny, Time, Schroedinger's Cat and Butterfly are on the loose! As the Four Metaphors of the Apocalypse, they are ready to take revenge on their captor, Universe himself.
  
  ***
  
  Respectable stories are born in a writer's cunning mind. Their less esteemed cousins are perceived in a heightened state of said writer's consciousness. And some downright impudent stories develop in the dark and murky depths of the multiverse. There, they dwell until an opportunity arises to pop over into our world, usually in the most unexpected time and place. 
  These are the tales that write themselves-between the lines.
  
  An unusual collection of short stories by @RainerSalt and @jinnis

Fallen Promise by -SIGBIN-
38 parts Complete Mature
Language: English [COMPLETED] Hardships often prepare ordinary people for an extraordinary destiny. Where sometimes, wrong choices takes us to the right places. Why is it that the world is small, and life is short. Why is it so hard to wish for the person whom you loved to just stay. I wished for a countless time while I was interrogated, hoping my wishes from Him will be permitted. Just to find out I'd be the only one to hold on the last memory for a thousand years. The mind may forget, but the heart will not. Years may have passed but the fire is still lit." #25 - heavenly #136 - drama filled Note: This is the first story I've ever written.

The Loop of Destiny by Zenosine
10 parts Ongoing
To all those who have felt the weight of time's relentless embrace, who have searched for meaning in the endless cycle of existence, and who have dared to dream of a future beyond the confines of the present. May this story ignite your imagination and remind you that even in the face of the unknown, there is always hope. This story began as a whisper in the darkest corners of my mind, a haunting melody of time loops and forgotten realities. It was a tale of a man trapped in a cyclical prison, a prisoner of his own past, yearning for a future that seemed perpetually out of reach. As I delved deeper into this enigmatic concept, I realized that it was more than just a simple narrative of time travel and paradox. It was a reflection on the human condition, on our struggle with time, our yearning for meaning, and our constant search for something beyond the limitations of our existence.

The Last Philosopher by NickfEast
89 parts Ongoing
11x featured wattpad story. Before everything, it's assumed there was nothing, but what if there was no real difference between the two? Just two extreme philosophies from the first conflict. The planet Huom has been under observation for longer than should technically be possible. The primary watcher, a bitter black hole, is excited to see that there is finally a proverbial Darkness at the end of the tunnel. Meanwhile, on the planet, in the freezing mountains of Empris, Lyeasrakardsul, the oldest living sorcerer, suffers from devastating nightmares. At the same time, far away in the sandstone desert of Zenon, Herschel, a man filled to the brim with weird ideas is escaping a prison filled with strange old men. What does all this have to do with arsehole Gods, hairy Dwarfs, frustrated Afreets, curious Knomes, lizard-women, and nude Áettar? Perhaps Nothing, perhaps Everything... but why can't it be both?
Destiny of Fire: The Normality (WotP) by Rangerlil
34 parts Complete
"I felt so caged again, as if I had wings but I wasn't allowed to fly, a voice but I wasn't allowed to speak. It was a scary feeling at first, but later you just get used to it, but you just want freedom and the feeling of safety. Why did I have to be caged in this dump? I thought about the Phoenix again. Did the Phoenix hate me? What had I ever done to this Phoenix? I balled my fists up in anger as I stared outside the window still, watching a great brown eagle fly outside." ("The Normality" is part 1 of "Destiny of Fire", the first book of the "War of the Phoenix" series) For quite a long time, a legendary bird called the "Phoenix" tried to possess a woman and her children to come in hopes of taking over the world. When it gets ready to try and possess its next victim, Alisha Quill, a group called the Storm-seekers and another group called the Spreaders are hard at work to stop the Phoenix in any way possible, including asking for the help of the most powerful man in the world; Almaroz. Meanwhile, nine heroes rise from the most unlikely places and even though they don't know it, their paths are set to cross and their destiny falls under the feet of the storm-seekers and the Phoenix itself. Achievements: #32 in Steampunk #105 in Prophecy #152 in Phoenix WARNING: It's my first story, so it probably won't be top quality, and the chapters are pretty long. "A Great Storm Is Coming..."

You die. Game over? Not quite. Welcome to the Afterlife Crucible. Every millennium, lost souls battle for a second shot at life. Forget everything you thought you knew about the afterlife. It's not pearly gates and harps - it's a ruthless gauntlet dreamed up by bored gods with a sick sense of humour. Your regrets become weapons, your sins are armour, and your secrets? Just ammo for your rivals. This is a no-holds-barred war where only the most devious spirits get to breathe again. You'll face nightmares that make Hell look like Disneyland, and opponents who'd sell their own mothers for a chance to win. Ready to fight for your life... after death? I sure as hell wasn't. There I was, barely keeping my head above water, when some prick decided to punch my ticket early. But let's face it - my chances of winning are slimmer than my ex's conscience. Who am I? Jane Doe. Just another dead girl in a sea of corpses... a junkie, a fuckup, a waste of oxygen. Or so I thought...

Beautiful cover by @deathinreverie (MATURE THEMES WITHIN. PROCEED WITH CAUTION) "It has been said that something as small as a butterfly's wings beating can ultimately cause a typhoon." Nova Spacyn and Neo Teimea, two students straight out from school find themselves in the midst of a galactic conspiracy, where the Ushavex Nebula, a wall around their galaxy, keeps them from discovering the truth. In a society built upon the foundations of the questions unanswered, Neo Teimea seeks to find the single truth - everything about the disappearance of the famous D.S Butterfly, a space station with a population in the thousands when they went to research the nebula. With their own sense of accomplishment in hand, they dock onto the B.H Supernova to chase the last signal of the D.S Butterfly, and come across the sea of stars - and something else. With the broken piece of the wings of time choking their necks, Nova can't seem to find a way to save Neo while the clock strikes once. Over and over again.
