My Earth. My pulchritudinous and the most desirable planet. It destroys me to see each Earth day getting murkier. The view from my throne shows the undeniable truth, this planet was gradually disintegrating into an uninhabitable environment. Increasingly the magnificent green that enveloped my globe fell away as if a concealed drain had opened to release unrequited beauty.

The Advocate and the Storyteller by XzovyArts

In the radiant Upper City, beneath the scorching heat of a summer lunch break, a woman sits every day on a park bench, lost in a book, trying to escape her troubles. A writer in the shadows, she struggles to keep her small bookstore afloat after a difficult divorce. One day, a stranger sits beside her. He's a lawyer. He loves literature. He has noticed her before. For no apparent reason, he takes an interest in her, supports her, encourages her to believe in her own worth. But when he uncovers her story, he decides to help her reclaim what should have always been hers. A battle that will not come without risks-because some truths are meant to stay buried. A story of resilience, unexpected friendship, and courage, where providence sometimes takes the form of a stranger with the soul of a guardian angel. ☾ This is a story-chat I created with an AI.

Altered by LuellaOpal

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.

SACRED ECHO by Candency

Have you ever wondered what love really is? Is it the kind of love we see in stories, or is it something deeper, something that pulls you in without warning? Can love truly heal, or is it simply another word we throw around when we don't know what else to say? What if love isn't about grand gestures or perfect moments, but about staying, even when the world falls apart? In the end, what makes two souls truly belong to each other? Is it the moments of joy, or the quiet understanding in the darkest times? After reading their story, ask yourself: *What is love to you?* No , Not the one which you saw in movies or youtube or instagram reels neither the motivation lines you find in Pinterest apart from them what do you think love is to you ?

After major coastal cities sink to the bottom of the ocean at the end of the twenty-first century, the richest inhabitants of Earth escape the planet to build new colonies in a distant solar system. Thirty six light years away from the Milky Way galaxy, centuries have passed and humanity is well established.
