One one-thousand. They take what they want. Who they want. No one is safe, no one is secure. When They come, They take. Loyalties gone, loves lost, a world swiped away with a scream.
Two one-thousand. When They come, They take. Sadness, sacrifice, a way of life, vanished. Choices strung together like linen on the line.
Three one-thousand. It takes one moment for life to change, one second, one choice that changes your world, your planet. A blink and everything has shifted.
Four one-thousand. One second can define you, mold you, make you. One second and you are gone. Taken. One of Us.

Claimed by the Echo
At first, everything was normal - boring classes, loud buses, everyday life. Until it wasn't. Until one of us vanished. Right there, in the middle of second period, she disappeared - not like she ran away, but like something pulled her out of existence. We thought we imagined it. Until the school forced an emergency assembly to explain it away with lies. Until we noticed the same mark etched into all six of us. Until people started forgetting she ever existed. And suddenly... we weren't strangers anymore. Now we know it wasn't just a glitch in reality. It was a claim. We are marked. We are chosen. And we are no longer our own.Complete
After the Light: The Last 15
🌌 What if one light ended the world... and chose 15 souls to begin something else entirely? On a quiet night, a brilliant light descended from the sky. It pulsed once - then the world was empty. The next morning, only 15 people remained across the entire globe. Strangers. Survivors. Unexplained. Among them - a gifted engineer, a doctor with secrets, four scientists, two innocent kids, and a girl with memories she shouldn't have. Then there's Rei, a loner with no past... and the only one who heard the voice in the light. As they find each other, strange things begin to happen - time glitches, symbols burned into stone, whispers from the stars, and visions of a planet that doesn't exist on any map. When 8 of them launch a desperate journey into deep space to find the source of the light - they face betrayal, loss, alien warzones, and a mysterious world called K71-Gaudy, where nothing is what it seems. And at the heart of it all lies a stone - powerful enough to bring back humanity... or end it forever. 🔥 A love that blooms in the stars. A mystery buried in extinction. A battle between what was lost and what can never return. This is not just the end of the world. This is what comes After the Light.Complete

Even the Stars Forgot Her Name.
Even the Stars Forgot Her Name She wasn't trying to disappear. It just started happening-one forgotten moment at a time. At seventeen, Haley feels like the world has quietly moved on without her. She goes to school, she comes home, she scrolls through life like it's happening to someone else. Her parents are always too busy, her old friends have new lives, and no one seems to notice how quiet she's become-or how much it hurts. She used to dream big. Now she just dreams of being seen. Then one night, in a haze of insomnia and scrolling, Haley finds an anonymous online forum where people share the things they're too scared to say out loud. And something about their pain-the raw honesty, the way it mirrors her own-pulls her in. As the nights stretch on and the stars stay silent, Haley starts to connect with others who feel like ghosts in their own lives. In their stories, she finds flickers of light. Maybe she isn't invisible. Maybe she isn't broken beyond repair. Maybe being lost doesn't mean you'll never be found. This is a quiet, aching story about loneliness, unseen pain, and the fight to remember who you are-especially when the world forgets.Complete

The Devil's Angel
It was a Sunday night, family night for the Greens. They were playing a board game when it happened. At exactly 11:11 pm; a time for wishes, a sixteen year old girl wished for true love one day. At that exact moment her window smashed and something flew into her room. It was a flock of them; they attracted the house and only took one thing: the girl. She remembers it clearly, the way she screamed scared out of her mind. The way it grabbed her waist and took off. She remembers screaming for help but no one came to her rescue. Oh how she wishes that she left her safety knife in her room. Then they would be safe. Her family! She just hopes they were fine, but the conclusion that she was taken says that her family would be back to normal soon. She sighs and thinks over her life. From a little kid she was always the loner. But her family loved her to death. It all changed when she turned ten. The world was changing. She remembers the exact day at the exact time. Her birthday; she calls it the hell day. Something bad always happens on her birthday and that year was the worst so far. On February 20/2020 at exactly 2:20 On the news they had let out the horrible announcement. Scientist's experiments had gone wrong. They call them the "Stone Devils". They were escaping from the labs and into our world. Made of stone and all male. Winged creatures that come into the night. Steal and kill their prey. That's what she heard but she didn't believe it until a few nights ago. (kinda like the movie Warm Bodies)Complete
Chains of Change
There are things in this world. Things that you see ever day. But your brain doesn't exactly register what they really are. You see them as normal. Pass by them, not giving them a second thought. Little did you know that they hold the key to the world. To another world. A world that is hidden from mortal view. A world that is full of terror and destruction. There are reasons that these things are hidden. Hidden from plain sight. Out of mind for mortals. The main reason is that it's an easy way for them to die.Complete
Almost, Always 🍁🥀
"Almost, Always" 🍁🌹 Some people enter your life like whispers...soft, sudden, and gone before you can hold on. She didn't expect to see him again. Not after years, not like this. Not when she had finally learned how to forget the boy who never truly left her mind. But fate isn't loud..it's quiet, casual... cruel. In a classroom filled with noise, their glances screamed stories. A slow-burn connection, unsaid words, and almosts that could've been everything. This is not a fairytale. This is a memory rewritten..with the ending she deserved.
