I know that a lot of people say fairytales relate to real life.. But do they? I wanted to explore how fairytales can perpetuate the ideals of society through a collection of stories/essays. So, read if you'd like to hear a different tale.

Maze of memories by DawnOfTimes
14 parts Complete
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

The Sacrificed Volume 01

30 parts Complete Mature

Inspired by true events, but let me make this clear-this is NOT a documentary. The Sacrificed: Volume 01 is a highly fictionalized version of the Santosh Deshmukh Hatyakaand, a case that still remains under investigation. While I took inspiration from real-life events, this story is built on my interpretations, hypotheses, imaginations, and storytelling instincts. This is my version-not a retelling of actual events. This volume follows the rise and fall of Sarpanch Vikram Shetty, set in Kadampur village, district Vardhanpur. His story begins and ends right here, in Volume 01. There are no sequels, no continuations-just this one standalone tale. Every volume in The Sacrificed explores completely different stories, inspired by true events but with no interconnections between them. You can read each one as a separate standalone novel. I do not claim to tell what really happened. I do not claim this as fact. My job is simply to narrate a story-through my own lens, based on my own perceptions and creative exploration. And most importantly, I want to say this upfront: I do not intend to insult or demean anyone. If anything comes across that way, I sincerely apologize, but that was never my intention. At the end of the day, I'm just a storyteller. And this? This is my story to tell. Read at your own discretion.
