The Egg
In the heart of the desert, a forgotten antenna begins to vibrate. No one else hears it. Except her. An echo repeats through frequencies that shouldn't exist. It doesn't carry voices. It doesn't carry data. It carries something older than any language. And it's growing. On the other side of the world, someone takes note. And someone else... prepares a response. A conspiratorial science fiction novel filled with mystery, impossible signals, and a truth not everyone is ready to face. It begins with a sound. It ends with a choice.
Sheltered in You
There's something about him-something Amna can't explain. From the moment she meets Hamza, there's a pull. Not the kind that comes from charm or stolen glances, but something deeper, something unshaken by time. He feels familiar in a way that makes no sense, like a half-remembered dream slipping through her fingers. Hamza doesn't know why he's drawn to her. He's spent years searching for something-someone-but never knowing what. And then there's Amna, standing right in front of him, making his world feel less empty. Neither of them understands it. Neither of them questions it. But love has a way of revealing the truths we don't even know we're looking for. And when the past starts creeping in, they'll have to decide-was fate leading them to each other, or was it always meant to take them apart? 🏅Ranked #1 in Destined LoveComplete

As they navigate high school hallways, old scars, and ghosts they don't speak of, they're pulled back together slowly, painfully, beautifully. But love like their's doesn't come easily.

Her mother, gone. Her father, arrested. And Thea vanished with no warning taken across the country to live with the only family left. Ery never stopped thinking of her. Never stopped keeping her in quiet memories, in things no one would understand. Now, years later, Thea is back. She's different. Quieter. There's a shadow in her eyes that wasn't there before. But the light? It still shines. And it wrecks him all over again. This is a story about the quiet kind of love; the kind that waits in the dark for the sun to rise.

REMINISCENT
I frowned, thrown off "Do i...remember?" "Do you remember..." she starts but her voice falters. She glances down at the sand, biting her lip debating whether to even continue. She then takes a shaky breath and finally looks up. Eyes locking with mine " do you even remember how you got it?" Her question hits me like a slap. I open my mouth, then close it, my brows furrowing as I force my brain to rewind. How did I get it? Nothing. Not a single clear memory. She steps closer, her voice trembling, but the edge of anger sharpening her words. "Or when? Or where? Or for what reason? Or what it even means?!" I flinch at her tone, but I can't answer her. I try. God, I try.. I look down at the sand beneath my feet, forcing myself to dig through every memory, every hazy night out, every stupid decision I might've made-but nothing. Not a single moment of how I got it surfaced. I let out a frustrated breath and rake a hand through my hair, feeling the panic rise like bile in my throat. When I finally lift my head to speak, Ashley's already staring at me, and I can tell-she knows my answer before I say a word. "You don't remember," she says softly, nodding like she expected it all along. __________________________________________ Crazy thing happened...Three years ago, a tragic accident left Ashley scarred and shattered.
