The world is complicated and people even more so. Everything in the present and future is nothing but intimidating and unpredictable, and Ashlyn Artwell doesn't know any other way to navigate modern life than to consume every piece of history she can find. If history can repeat, personalities can, too, right?
History might help Ashlyn, but not everyone finds her historical obsession endearing. Especially not her soon-to-be step-brother, Marcus Halloway. Ashlyn figures the best she can do is avoid Marcus and keep referencing history to her heart's content. But all that changes when she ends up tutoring August Nightspade, Marcus' best friend.
The more time she spends with August, the more the present doesn't seem all that scary. But that doesn't stop Ashlyn from clinging onto history when she doesn't trust herself to make her own personal history. And the more she clings to history, the more she realizes the difference between past and present.

Abstract Shadows
Ashlyn works for a Paranormal Investigation Agency. One day, she and her partner Percy discover a mind-reading alien inside a restricted part of the building. She decides to risk it all and save this poor creature from its prison. Unfortunately, her friend Percy has no intention of helping her, and she must come up with a plan on her own. Only one thing is for sure, for one reason or another, she can't seem to stop her heart from skipping a beat, each time she looks into the alien's dark obsidian eyes.

Crowded Silence
Actions speak louder than words! Yet here we are where sometimes just mere words can do wonders. This is the story of a girl who always found herself surrounded by many, yet the silence was her only 'true' companion. Though she embraced her silence, she knows more than that to how hard it actually is. And thus, she always makes sure that 'her companion' never visits someone else just so that it can have another person to keep itself embraced. Of course there are people in her life who care about her, but as it is said, a better half always understands you and your decisions better than anyone else. For that; "why should I even try to find it if it's true and is truly meant for me? Won't it come to me at the right time?" is what she says. Let's see what life throws at her and how she tackles it with what it has already taught her. Read, comment, vote and share. Thank you!

My Past or Present!
A Past and Present definitely involve the people in it, but they both have more than that to offer. The situations, the choices made for you and the choices made by you in the past were and the choices would be made for you and by you in the present are as important as the people. Is it possible to fight everything in the past and engulf the present? Or will the external factors will delay the desired result of such fight even after going through the fight?
