The reality of the world today is depressing and sorrowful, with instances of small victories and healing. 

Fictional stories help people escape reality for a short time. But fiction is so much more. 

We believe fiction helps us feel and understand not just other people's perspectives, but also gives us a better, broader view of the big picture. And if written in an exceptional manner, fiction can be a source of hope and courage in trying times such as we are presently experiencing. 

The stories you'll find inside this book are written by amazing newfound writers who heeded our call for submission. Read them, feel them, and be inspired.All Rights Reserved

The Rose Garden (3) - Taylor Swift by happyathello13

"Okay, hear me out. We are stuck in the house with nothing to do, we could do something productive while we have time to kill." "We wrote and released an entire album, Grace. What sounds more productive than that?" Quarantine is driving them up the wall. There's only so many days you can spend sitting next to the same person, in the same house, doing the same things before someone snaps... or comes up with a crazy idea on how to change life as they know it. Grace had been through many phases of life, but the one she and Taylor are about to enter together might just be the most daunting (and exciting) yet. She still feels pretty lucky, even if she's downright terrified of what's to come. - An alternate universe to my story 'Stay' and the subsequent one shots, same characters, completely different life. This is the third piece to the 'Camera Flashes' series, following 'The Lucky One'. As with all my stories, this book contains mature themes and sensitive subject matter and is intended for a mature audience. Reader discretion is advised. - This is a work of fiction and I only own original characters and not Taylor Swift, her works or any other living and mentioned people.

Pinwheels and Dandelions by cjacks1124

I was kicked around like trash on the streets. I was the book that nobody could understand or read, but without a care, they were quick to rip out the pages. I screamed for attention, but time after time, I was ignored. Nobody noticed me, so I made myself at home in my own shadow. They say there's light at the end of the tunnel -- I searched and searched for it, but it could never be found. Therefore, I lost hope as I hid in the shade and endured what seemed like everlasting pain. The little hope I did have was snatched from my arms. My baby brother was my life, and they took my glimpse of hope away. Home. Is that a word? Maybe for a family of some kind, but for me, I never had a place to call home. I moved from place to place. Unstable foster care, fighting for my life in group homes, barely surviving in detention centers, and running away from being mistreated as I made many benches my temporary home. The only thing that I was familiar with was a black plastic bag containing my dirty rags. I am too young to know what it feels like to survive. These are the cards life has dealt me and I am not meant to win; however, I easily lose without trying. It is hard for me to find peace. I am paying for my mother's reckless actions. I am trapped in a world where the sun has died because I am unable to feel love. I am unable to dream. Sorrow is my aura, and the sadness hugs me. My eyes are closed shut by the barbed wire fence from my eyelashes as they prohibit tears from falling. I am damaged. When will the morning come? Did the sun put up a fight last night, like I do every single day? If I can survive the day, I know the sun isn't dead. One day, I will awake to a glorious sunrise. Until then, I hope my brother keeps blowing his pinwheel, and I will keep making wishes with every dandelion I come across. For now, all I know is that everything was taken from me, and the only thing I own is my name.

"Locked in Love: A Pandemic Tale" by AlfahRizan

While chaos raged outside, she found comfort in her own quiet world. Then the storm began to pass. Life slowly returned to normal and Millie allowed herself to dream again.

At first, it felt like just another stretch of time slipping by, another silence she had learned to live with. But then, there was him. A stranger who noticed when no one else did, offering quiet kindness in ways she never expected. As the days passed, she found herself wondering. Who was he, really? And why did it feel like, for the first time in a long time, she wasn't meant to be alone? Read to find out how their paths cross and what happens in the end.

Teenage Veracity by midnightlair

Nope, this is not fiction-or it might be. It depends on you. This is not a typical story-I don't even know if this is worthy of being called a story. There are no characters in here that you can cheer on but yourself. You've got to be the main character in a story once, and I think that alone is enough to convince you to take this shot. Well, if you are emotional, dramatic, and insane like me, you can relate. My chapters aren't your chapters, but I bet we're on the same page. My words are your words, if you allow them. I think this is bad, but it's on you to judge. Just read it. Especially if you are young or you're feeling young. You have nothing to do anyway.

Memoirs of A Healer/Clinical Social Worker: Autobiography of Bruce Whealton by BruceWhealton

A healer. A survivor. A victim of profound injustice. How does someone who has dedicated their life to helping others find the strength to heal themselves after losing everything? In December 2019, I woke up in a psychiatric hospital following a suicide attempt. A simple conversation with another patient sparked a shift within me-a glimmer of clarity that would change the course of my life. But how did I end up there? What devastation could drive a loving spouse, a therapist, and a lifelong survivor to the edge of despair? This book unravels the journey that led me to that breaking point and how I found the strength to keep living. My story is one of triumph and tragedy-of overcoming paralyzing shyness and social anxiety to become a psychotherapist, only to have my life shattered by unimaginable injustice. Between 2000 and 2006, I lost everything I had built: my home, my career, my community, and the love that once gave my life meaning. The destruction was sudden, like a meteor crashing down, and the aftermath left me in ruins. Worse still, the world condemned me as a villain when I was only ever a victim. But this is not just a story of loss. It is a story of survival, of how I faced the darkness and chose to keep living. It is a testament to how love, hope, and the power of connection can guide us through even the longest night. Through this memoir, I share not only my pain but also my triumphs-the moments of joy, love, and meaning that kept me fighting for life. I write this book for anyone who has ever felt unseen, unheard, or unjustly condemned. I write it to show that healing is possible, that our stories matter, and that no matter how broken we feel, there is always a path forward. This is my story. But it is also a story of hope-for you, for me, and for anyone who has ever longed for justice, healing, and love.

Purposefully Accidental: The Interlude by numbereddays

I'd dreamed of weddings before, in my youth; and in every scenario, I had always thought it to be the happiest day in my life: surrounded by my closest friends and family and laughing in my gorgeous white dress with flowers in my hair. Not like this: nauseous from cancer-fighting chemicals and wearing a cheap thrifted dress that I'd worn to an orientation week party, my hair thinning and unkempt. We returned home as husband-and-wife. I was Hannah Archer now. It didn't sound right to my ears. Or: It was 2020 and Hannah Taylors' whole world was crashing down around her. --- An companion piece to Purposefully Accidental; contains major spoilers. - - DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU HAVEN'T READ PURPOSEFULLY ACCIDENTAL - -
