I, Arlo Andrada, despise the world we live in. It's unfair, cruel, and favors those within specific circumstances. It's littered with flaws and its inhabitants deceives themselves into ignoring those flaws. However, despite as such, there is a present factor wherein an immense ecstaticity can be felt once acquired. A factor that can effectively blinds us from the flaws of reality and is malicious enough to frighteningly influence our actions. A factor that's well out of my reach and a redeeming quality that in itself is flawed. Indeed, I do hate this world.

So, are you willing enough to take a glimpse at a broken lens of a breed of a corrupt mind?

Altered by LuellaOpal
30 parts Complete Mature
Have you ever met someone who alters the course of your life? For good or for bad, they've come in, given and taken, and then- BOOM! Your life was never the same. There's always a change, an altering of reality. When you meet those people, the reality that you've known your whole life is suddenly gone and a new one has taken its place. When those moments happen, there's no going back. You can try to return to the way things were but nothing, and I mean nothing, can take you back to exactly how it was. That's what happened to us. I think that's why we're still trying so desperately to get back to some sort of normalcy. Four years later and we're still on the ground, crawling, in search of the happiness that was lost that June. Summers will never be the same. Midnight walks through my neighborhood will never be the same. Field parties with bonfires and loud music will never be the same. I still don't know why you left and what lead you to the decision you made. What I do know is that we're here. We're alive and we're pushing forward to the future. A future that you're not a part of. But in some ways, I'm glad you're not a part of it. I just wish it wasn't like this. *** TRIGGER WARNING*** SA, abuse, suicide, substance abuse, and mental illness. This is a complete story that is much like life; fast, full of surprises, and not always how we want it to be. This has been a project of mine for over three years. It was self-published on Amazon, but after some issues in publication, I decided to just upload it on here. I hope you fall in love with these characters like I have. The friends in this story are trying to make names for themselves, figure out who they are, who they can trust, how to love, and how to separate themselves from a restrictive community. As in any coming of age story, they will experience growing pains... but will they survive them before its too late? PLEASE READ THE TRIGGER WARNINGS.
Everyones Obsessed* by Cie1_5
7 parts Ongoing Mature
The past carries an unjust history. Immoral actions mark the present. The future holds untold consequences. Bad things happen to good people, and good people do bad things. | | || ||| ||||| |||||||| ||||||||||||| You, of all people, should understand the obsession. Whether it's the endless hours lost to a screen, the compulsion to scroll through forums, the need for that next high, the haunting grip of past trauma, the fixation on someone unattainable, the pursuit of a fleeting feeling, or even the inexplicable attachment to something as simple as frogs-obsession has woven itself into every corner of your life. •__ •_ •• •_• •_• • •••• / ••_ • •_• I have done terrible things because I let obsession take over me. It wasn't always that way. It started as a lie; it became true one day. I told myself I was in control and could stop anytime, but I only lied to myself. I was powerless. I never wanted to hurt anyone; I hurt him and myself. Now, I'm left with the wreckage of my choices. I wonder if there's any way to get things back to how they were before. Xgbs bqf zpv patfttfc xisg? To us, they are just another random person: the letters carved on the table, the artist of old graffiti, the person who also walked into the restroom, the reason the trash is full, or the garbage thrower on the side of the streets. But to them, they're the main fucking character in their own story, and each mark, item, digital trace, and photo they have makes a fragment of their existence. We may never know their face or name, but the traces they left remind us that everyone's lives intersect, creating a vast web of connections; unnoticed or not, they are never truly invisible.

𝙄𝙣 𝙬𝙝𝙞𝙘𝙝 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙨𝙚𝙩 𝙞𝙣 𝙖𝙣 𝙖𝙧𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙙 𝙢𝙖𝙧𝙧𝙞𝙖𝙜𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙨𝙖𝙠𝙚.... 𝙒𝙖𝙨 𝙞𝙩 𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙪𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙨𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙤𝙣𝙡𝙮? ...... Living under her strict businessman Father's gaze, Alessandra knew from a very young age that she would be wed once she was at least 18. Alessandra never got to experience a normal childhood, she was homeschooled her whole life and had been told stories of how dangerous the outside world is . She was abused by both of her parents until all of the sorrow came to an end when she was finally 19 and wed. 𝘿𝙞𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙤𝙧𝙧𝙤𝙬𝙨 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙖𝙣 𝙚𝙣𝙙? 𝙒𝙝𝙮 𝙬𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙨𝙝𝙚 𝙗𝙚 𝙢𝙖𝙧𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙙 𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙨𝙝𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙢𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙡𝙮 19? Poor Alessandra only thought, until she was wed to a ruthless, cruel, evil, rude man. The clueless girl didn't even know the profession of her husband and why he wanted to wed only her. ❤︎ ...... 𝙒𝘼𝙍𝙉𝙄𝙉𝙂: The first 10 chapters of this story is very boring. But I promise it gets better and you will need the 10 chapters in the future. And the writing in chapter 1-4 is not that good since I wrote it a long ago. Contains mature content, verbal abuse, physical abuse, sexual abuse, drugs, sex etc
Maze of memories by DawnOfTimes

People always say every life should be cherished. That every single one of them is equally fragile and precious. Like a beautiful glass sculpture or the blossoming flowers in spring. But the thing is, everyone's definition of beautiful is different. Some people prefer roses over orchids. Some of them like sculptures of people whereas others like sculptures of animals. And so there are times when even the most beautiful sculpture gets thrown away like trash or forgotten somewhere because they found one that's prettier. The beautiful flowers that bloomed in spring will wither away and eventually become nothing but dust. There are times when a sculpture in itself could be really beautiful but a tiny flaw will make people deem it as a "mistake". The flowers that are left to wither away just because they miss a leave, or because they aren't the right size or the right colour. So you see that saying about every life being equally precious?, yeah that only counts for the "perfect" ones. Still some of these faulty sculptures and broken flowers managed to make it into the world. They would be facing the harsh reality of this world and would have to fight to survive. Some of them would unfortunately lose this fight in the end, leaving to a faraway place in hopes to find peace and quiet. Still just being able to make it this far in this harsh world is something to be proud of, as friends and family will forever remember these brave individuals who fought hard to survive until the very end. - Kaylee de Leeuw
