Following the death of his nephew, two months before the miscarriage of his daughter, Skye, Charles entered his darkest hour.. Filled with doubts and questions, he searches for answers in all of the wrong places. Or were they really answers disguised as questions?

Living a life behind walls made of stone, Charles refuses to let any one in, or his emotions out. But the voices of his subconscious began crying out and could no longer be silenced. On the brink of losing his sanity -and the identity he created, he did the one thing that could silence their screams: journaled them so that he could hear what they had to say. The book you are about to read is the poetic journey of finding peace in the midst of war, a silver lining hidden in the storm clouds around his soul, light in the darkness and hope in his hopelessness. Bear with him to the sixth chapter and you may see the morning light rise on his eye lids, or you may see them close and never open again.

The greatest question he must ask himself is: "Who can I trust with my story when I don't even know myself?"

After all, he once said, "When the sun sets and I'm left to face my darkest hour, even my shadow leaves my side."

The Light in the Dark (Completed) by LittleSparrow16

Cover made by the amazing @mikeyspizzadope (go check them out they're cool) It's 3 A.M., and you can't sleep. Your heart feels like it might burst out of your chest. Your ears are ringing, echoing in your brain, and everything hurts so badly. Your vision is going blurry as you try to fight back the tears, and you're wondering why you even try anymore. At one point or another, most of us have experienced the feeling of worthlessness, shame, or guilt. We feel like we're at rock bottom, and it seems like nothing will ever get any better no matter how hard we try. One thing we do know for sure, though, is that where there is dark, there is bound to be light, no matter how small that speck may be. There's always hope, no matter how far out of reach it may seem. There's always light in the dark. TW/CW: mentions of anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts. "I know that even when things seem dark and at rock bottom, there's always hope. There's always a light at the end of the tunnel. As small as that little shaft of light may seem, it's not out of reach." - something a friend of mine once told me All of the poems in this book have been written by me. Completed on August 22, 2020

Forsaken: The Chosen Trilogy - Book One by RKSHobbs

Before you begin this story, I must warn you first. This is not a tale of dashing knights and lovely damsels awaiting rescue. It is not the tale of happy endings, with birdsong and rides into the sunset. It is a tale of light magic and dark, of dragons and monsters, of heroes and villains and the thin line between them. This is the tale of being broken, being made stronger, and then being broken again. This is a story of love of heartbreak so great if feels like your chest has been hollowed out and scraped clean, like you would never feel anything else ever again, and of love so powerful it can make even the gods tremble. This is not a happy story, but it is our story, and it is the only one I know how to tell. ********************** FORSAKEN is the first tale in the Saga of Darkness, following six brothers and sisters who have been named the Chosen of the Gods, destined to fight a great darkness that threatens their world. But evil wears many faces, and it will take the efforts of all- Kryssa, Brannyn, Lanya, Kylee, Alyxen, and Reyce- to survive the harrowing trials to come. ********************** FORSAKEN is a completed novel, being posted as a serial. Books Two through Five in the Saga of Darkness are also complete. Chapters posted every Monday and Friday.

The Matchmaker's Magic Match | ONC 2025 | Shortlister by KC_Han_writes

Logline: He's a hopeless romantic, she's romantically hopeless. Together? They're a match made by the gods. --- Love-cursed Verena has never known the pitfalls of true heartbreak or the euphoria of a special meet cute.

Matteo is a male witch with an affinity for shiny things and romantic comedies who is single for the first time in seven years. All of his training under Freyja should've ended in happily ever after, but alas. While starting fresh in the city of Mysnia, Matteo meets Verena and the sparks fly instantly. But Verena holds a secret near and dear to her heart: she won't fall in love; not for anyone, and Matteo hopes maybe he will have the luck to thaw out her frozen heart while mending his own in the process. --- ONC 2025 Prompts: #49 (main): As a love mentor, you suddenly experience a devastating breakup.

Out of my Control by LexiRein

Book 6 in the It just Happened Series. (Can be a stand alone but to better understand it read Never Say Never.) Love is supposed to be grand. No one prepares you for the heartache and pain. Not in the manner that they should. I had it all! The perfect husband. Johnny, he was everything a woman could dream of. Until I lost him, then my whole world shattered once again. Then there is River Fox the one person who will just not leave. He made a promise to Johnny, one he will not let go of. When all I need is for him to do exactly that. He infuriates me to no end! I just can't get him out of my mind, and it kills me! Loss... Pain... Raising a child on my own, it's all too much. "Katrina." He never calls me by my name. It's always princess, stubborn, a pain in his ass. "Look at me." I can't because when you call my name it does things to me, I know it shouldn't! Desire... Longing... Hoping for something I shouldn't... Wanting to be loved again... "Please, just stop!" Do. Not. Cry. I have shed way too many tears. I can't take the guilt anymore. "Just go. Please!" The first tears fall as the door slams shut. I'm betraying Johnny, by wanting his close friend. Even though I try to fight, I can't resist him. I hate it! I hate him. Mostly, I hate myself for the desire I have for the one man I shouldn't. How did everything get so out of my control?

All the Things Between Us by Juniper_Abernathy

She began to fear every sound since she had met him. With every step she looked over her shoulder. Fear of him kept her wary. Trying to run from the nightmare he put her through was all that mattered, but the pain of being away from half of your soul was almost as unbearable as the fear motivating her. Diana had been without love for a very long time, and it doesn't seem like that's going to change. With the constant cruelities of her life, and only more to come, all that matters is escape. Escape by any means necessary. Life is rarely fair. Life on the run is even worse. Book 2 The art I used as the starting point for the cover was done by Antonio Mora

Blackout. [COMPLETED] by evemaym

A person's life is shaped and moulded around their history and their future. Their memories and secrets create the person that they are, and their hopes and dreams create the person that they are destined to be. But what if you had no memories or secrets, no hopes or dreams. What if you lived namelessly, forgetting everything you knew every few days. Imagine if you had to find out who you were, where you were, and what your purpose was, and then try to live a normal life, despite not even knowing your own name. You're about to read the story of a girl who plans to do exactly that, before she has another blackout.

Under The Broken Rays 9-1-1 by Worldia

Eddie thought he had overcome everything. Pain-he knew it in all its forms: betrayal, loss, grief. He had faced death, brushed against it more than once. He had learned to endure, to survive, to rebuild. He believed he was finally at peace, that finding his son and rebuilding stability meant the battle was finally over. But one night was enough to change everything. One night to awaken a pain he had buried so deep that he had convinced himself it didn't exist. A pain that carves itself into the flesh, that scars the soul, that haunts the days and consumes the nights. A night when his body was no longer his own. So Eddie stays silent. He swallows his screams, hides his trembling hands, pretends that everything is fine. But his silence is poison, and with each passing day, he feels the walls closing in. It's not just that night he must confront. It's everything he has suppressed, everything he never dared to face-the ghosts of his past. His parents, Shannon, Christopher, expectations, sacrifices, imposed choices, his past. His own reflection staring back at him. Who is he, beyond what others have shaped him to be? How long can someone survive while carrying the weight of the world on their shoulders? How long can someone pretend before they finally break? Caught between silence and pain, Eddie fights not to drown. But maybe healing isn't found in forgetting. Maybe it lies in acceptance. And maybe, also, in forgiving oneself. This story is an ode to healing, to acceptance. To finding light in the darkness. To the journey of a man learning to rebuild and love himself.
