you know that ringing sound you hear when it's really quiet?
some people say this is an auditory; an illusion brought about the ear's inability to detect frequencies below the threshold of human senses.
this is completely wrong.
that ringing covers up something else altogether. if you are quick, patient, and maybe a little lucky, you will be able to hear past the ringing. what you will hear is a single voice, whispering to itself. it will silence itself quickly but with patience, you will become more adept at catching and interpreting what it's saying. you will hear things of the past, the present, and the future.
however, you must be careful, because there is no such thing as a voice without a body.
and when you start noticing it, it will start noticing you. . .

The Painting
"It took me five seconds to fall. The impact on my chest jarring my body but not my mind. I suppose this is the point where your life is supposed to flash before your eyes as time itself freezes - and it did in a way. But I didn't relive my life physically like walking through an old memory, déjà vu in each step. It was a feeling, something that started in my chest and spread to my fingertips, one so unique to me that it encapsulated each significant event into one single second." For as long as May can remember one mystery has haunted her world. A dirty window before her, the grim obstructing her vision, she has lived with a loss she can't identify - that is until one rainy night. Gradually the spots of dirt May scratched at for so long wipe away with the touch of a finger. But when she looks in will she like what she sees - or will curiosity kill the cat?Complete

He gently held my chin in between his fingers, tilting my head up so that our eyes could lock in on each other. "You're so pretty, you make nervous," I quietly confessed. A blush made its way on both of our faces, making laughter fly past my lips. He's so cute. He shook his head and brought the blunt in his hand to his lips, taking a long drag. I curiously looked up at him through my lashes, secretly wanting to try it. As if he knew what was going through my mind, he gripped my face in his hand and bent down, pulling us closer together. My heart thumped against my chest, begging to be let free. "Uh-" He cut me off by placing his lips on mine, making my eyes widen when I felt him allowing the smoke to blow into my mouth. "Inhale," he instructed. ೃ⁀➷ 𝐀 𝐛𝐚𝐝 𝐛𝐨𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐠𝐢𝐫𝐥 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲; 𝐡𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫, 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲, 𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐮𝐩𝐭𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐫. ..⃗. ☁️ 𝐀 𝐬𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐛𝐮𝐫𝐧 𝐦𝐚𝐟𝐢𝐚 𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞.Complete
The Billionaires Dark Love
"Please dont do this, I don't want it. Please." I plead with him but it's no use. He walks over to me and slams his hand on the wall next to my head, making me jump. "Turn around." He speaks slowly in a low tone. I don't move out of fear and stare at him. "NOW!" I jump and slowly turn around. I feel him move my hair to the side and puts it on. He turns me back around, smiling. "Now, that wasn't so bad." He pauses staring at me. "Make sure you never take this off. Do you understand? Never." He says in a commanding tone, looking into my eyes. I nod silently, he stares at me and gently kisses my cheek. "I will be back for you later." He turns and leaves the room. Once I'm sure he is gone, I go to the mirror. I look at my neck and see it... A leather collar with his name inscripted on it . Damien ***** If you think this is a happy story, it's not so beware. This story includes dark love with obsession and an extreme possessive dominant male.Complete

[UNEDITED || SLOW UPDATES] " Y-You don't understand, you never will, I see, hear and feel things that aren't real! I have these random urges to do things, dangerous harmful things. The-there are voices in my head calling out to me, i-it tells me to do things. Every morning I wake up, I wake up wishing that I was normal, just somebody normal. Is that too much to ask for ?" She wished to be normal, pretended to be normal. That's what it is with pretending, when you begin to pretend you begin to believe. But, in this pretense she had forgotten that she wasn't supposed to be normal, she was supposed to stand out. She was supposed to be DISTINCT. ____________________________________________________ THANKS FOR GIVING MY STORY A CHANCE!
We Were Meant to Be
An age gap love story. A brokenhearted billionaire. A college girl. ***** "Nevaeh," Aiden whispers, "can I rest my head on your shoulder?" I nod, letting him rest his head on my shoulder. He closes his eyes. "Thank you." He sighs in contentment. "Heaven." "Heaven?" "It's your name spelled backward, isn't it?" ***** The moment I first saw Aiden Klein, the first thing that came up in my head was how perfect he was. A good hard working man who loves his family more than anything else, Aiden Klein has been the subject of the desire of many women. His wealth and success as one of the most influential leaders in the business world are nothing compared to his golden heart. The world keeps asking the same questions over and over again, "How would he love his woman?" The sad thing is, we will never know. Because his heart has been frozen. Eyes are blind for any woman. Touch is forbidden for their skin. Aiden Klein cannot love a woman. Yet, I know that it's far from the truth. Aiden Klein can love a woman so fiercely, his love would break you. Because I've seen it once, accidentally. He's the broken hero. And I'm the villain in this story. ***** THE KLEINS SERIES BOOK #3 © Anya Jayvyn. All Rights Reserved.

Let's Get It Right (You Saved Me Sequel)
I heard an extremely loud ringing in my ear. The more I tried to ignore it, the louder it became; and the louder it got, the closer it seemed. Soon enough, it felt as though it was right next to my ear, which caused me to jump out of my sleep. When I woke up, I found myself lying in a hospital bed with bruises on my body. "What the hell?" I thought to myself. "Why am I here? Where's Quan? Where are my kids? How did I get these bruises?" I felt lost and confused. What the fuck happened? This can't be happening to me.
