Recent cases show civilians randomly dying all over the country, all dying from brain aneurysms. The death pole in England increased by 20% in two months, and is still increasing. The only connection between all these mysterious deaths is one thing, and one thing only; a photograph. Evidence shows that implanted in the victims' clothes, or somewhere around them, is a photograph of them moments before their deaths. Not only that, but a similar case has happened 20 years earlier and lasted for a year before enigmatically stopping. Seems that history is repeating itself. 27-year-old homicide detective and former forensic detective, Ivory Hughes, suspects this is not a sort of epidemic, but a mass murder. Epidemic, murder, curse, whatever it is, one thing is for sure: the streets of Birmingham will never be the same again.

Sukoon: When love turns lethal
'Two kids were crying as they gazed at a dead cat lying near the road, its body bearing the signs of multiple impacts.' "I loved her so much," one of them sobbed. "I know you did, but she's gone. Be strong," the other kid replied, trying to comfort him. "How can I be strong? She was so small... how can someone be so cruel?" Just then, a girl around their age, who had been quietly observing the scene from a short distance, spoke up. "It's just a street cat, guys. Why are you making such a fuss? She always roamed around here. Some bike or car must have accidentally hit her, unable to see her in time. Just stop the drama already." 'The two kids were left speechless, their eyes fixed blankly on the third girl's face, shocked by her harsh words. She was only six years old, yet she spoke without any sympathy or emotion, her words cutting deep into their grief.' "In a town where secrets lurked, a discovery led to a fiery confrontation. An escape left one in flames, but that was just the beginning. A letter, a confession, a mental asylum - a twisted tale of torment and manipulation. The story unfolds, shrouded in mystery, gripping readers in a web of suspense and deceit. The characters' fates hang in the balance, their destinies intertwined in a chilling narrative of love, betrayal, and madness."Complete

Obsidian abyss
In a world where the lines between life and death are blurred, a group of strangers finds themselves trapped in an eerie, haunting place that seems both alive and dead. With no memory of how they arrived or who brought them here, they must unravel a twisted puzzle that will determine their fate. As they awaken in their own graves, the tombstones bearing cryptic messages, it becomes clear: they are not ordinary people. But whether they are alive or dead remains a mystery they must solve. The lines between the living and the dead blur as they uncover the horrifying truth of their predicament: they are part of an intricate, deadly game where the rules are constantly shifting. Their memories-altered, fragmented-are pieces to a puzzle that must be solved before time runs out. But in this twisted world, time itself is a dangerous, unreliable force. The deeper they go, the more it becomes clear: escaping will not be enough. They must confront the monsters within themselves, face the darkness they carry, or risk being swallowed whole by the haunting world that surrounds them. The question is no longer just how to survive, but how to escape the twisted grip of their own minds. Will they ever find the truth, or will they forever be lost in the labyrinth of fear and illusion?
The Follower
Life has evolved and more technologies appeared. The internet is the main brain of these technologies, but that doesn't mean that it's safe. It is said that we are only using 10% to 15% of the entire internet, so where is the left of it that's the question. That's not the main point the point is how people could use the internet. Some could use it for social life, some could use it for doing research and some could use it to track you down and know every single move you do. They could hear everything, know your next destination. Maybe now you're being followed and tracked down by someone but you just don't know. Just as the characters in the story. The story is based on possible events that could occur in these days. Nobody knows what's out there on the internet, and what's in people's minds. Beware the internet, beware of the people around you, beware of the people you give trust to, beware of the mysterious follower that stalks you that is obsessed with you without you knowing. * Story chapters will be published one by one as a tv series to make the reading part easier and give more excitement to what's coming* Thanks for reading.Complete
