Beneath the Autumn Dream
In the heart of autumn, Claire Emerson finds herself enveloped in a season of quiet reflection. By day, she works as an archivist, piecing together stories from the past, but by night, Claire slips into vivid dreams that feel as real as the crisp autumn air. In her dreams, she meets a mysterious man named Ethan, whose presence is both haunting and comforting, filling a void she can't explain. Together, they wander through misty forests, abandoned lighthouses, and fog-shrouded bridges, forming a bond that transcends the barriers of reality. Ethan Grayson is a photographer and a self-proclaimed wanderer, always searching for something he's never quite found. When he begins dreaming of Claire, he's captivated by the unspoken connection they share, feeling as though he's finally come home. Each dream draws them closer, yet waking life keeps them apart, leaving them longing to turn these ethereal moments into something real. As autumn deepens, traces of their dream world begin appearing in reality-scenes from the mist, familiar melodies, and places they both recognize. Drawn by an invisible thread, Claire and Ethan embark on a journey to uncover whether their dream connection is merely a fantasy or a destined path toward love. With each new revelation, they face a choice: will they take a chance on an impossible bond or let the autumn winds scatter their dreams forever?Complete

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
The boy in the garden
" Stay". " pardon me". I said. Not in that rude English manner but out of surprise. " just for a little longer. Could you stay. Come intro the garden with me ". he said. An enchanted garden, a tale that exceeds time. Join the boy who loves a girl he mustn't love and a girl love a ghost she doesn't fully understand. A romance in a thriller. Who exactly is the silhouette and why does he have no parents or never leave the old white picket fence of his house. For the longest time. Since I can remember, the only thing I was ever good at was writing stories or telling them. It's the only thing that got me through the day or even for the majority of high school. This story ' the boy in the garden' was inspired by a house I found one day coming back from school. The story is my narration of what I think could have happened to the house and inspired by a former crush I had when I was in the 9th grade. I hope you enjoy it .Complete
Dirty White
Bare with me for this is just a school project made by myself back in 2018 and as far as I can remember I didn't have enough time to refurnish my story because of the deadline. Also this story is a short reference of the books that I've read and movies that I've watched that really sparks my interests in writing stories. This story is about a family's struggle, misunderstanding and separation. There's no perfect family rich or poor. It's a little bit close to my experience but most of are just full fiction. Thank you in advance.Complete
