The unpredictability of smoke..

It twists and turns, dances and grows, shrinks and dies...

The smoke covers the truth, merely a mirage of hope. 
But soon enough, the smoke succumbs to its quick demise,
and that's when reality is uncovered. 

I always knew life seemed too simple, too perfect even. Perhaps humanity's largest flaw is remaining cursed with egocentrism.
How could we have been so foolish?
How could we have been so blind? 
So far from the truth? 

At least the smoke smothering my eyes has now died down, no matter the brutal, gory and dark reality it has kept hidden from me.


I finally know the truth.

Psycho Hotel by KingKongKal

So, you want to hear another story, eh? One of Demons, Psychos and Redemption? Well, you don't make it easy, do you? But, I may have a tale you will enjoy. Death. It is the only sure thing in life. It is even more so on Pandora. This was not a law that could be ignored either. Not even by our favourite Vault Hunters. Not even, Krieg. But the tale of his death is for another time. THIS is the tale of what came after. What became of his soul. He no longer hunts for vaults or for treasure. He hunts for redemtion. A second chance at what was once lost. A second chance to see the one he loved so dearly. Sadly... It's never THAT easy. I don't own Hazbin Hotel or Borderlands. Just the Fanfiction.

CRIMSON SHADOWS by Zeellowezee

Preface: Crimson Shadows In the shadows, where the light dares not tread, there lies a tapestry of stories - tales woven with threads of crimson, spun from the lifeblood of those who have walked the path of adversity. It is within these shadowed realms that the true mettle of the human spirit is forged, tested by the fires of despair, guilt, and the relentless pursuit of redemption. The pages that follow bear witness to one such story - the journey of Amara Torres, a young woman whose life has been irrevocably altered by a tragedy that has left an indelible mark upon her soul. Haunted by the memories of her past and her late best friend, Amara must navigate the treacherous terrain of depression, self-harm, and the crippling weight of an unspoken secret that threatens to consume her. As Amara returns to the familiar confines of her hometown, she finds herself confronted not only by the remnants of her former life, but also by the enigmatic presence of Nolan Kirovsky - a fellow traveler in the realm of privilege and turmoil. Together, they must confront the shadows that have defined them, forging a path towards redemption and the unearthing of long-buried truths. Through Amara's story, we bear witness to the resilience of the human spirit, the capacity for transformation, and the profound impact that a single moment can have on the trajectory of a life. It is a tale that delves into the depths of the human experience, exploring the complex interplay of loss, guilt, and the the pursuit of healing. So, let us venture forth, into the realm of Crimson Shadows, and bear witness to the extraordinary within the ordinary, the light that shines amidst the darkness, and the extraordinary journeys that unfold when we dare to confront the ghosts that haunt us. It's my first book please be kind guys, lots of love. from me ©All Rights Reserve, Copyright. Book by ZEE. You may not copy the story line.

My Mafia Princess by TatumWhispers

"Breathe... Breathe Cassandra... Breathe..." She was about to give the best show of her life... But never did I imagine I was going to become the star of it. From the moment that our breaths mingled and our skins melted. She became the only reason that I breathed. MY ONLY DESIRE TO LIVE. Living a life ruled by my father and the ever-burning demands of his mafia empire; if ever I was going to defy it all, then it was going to be for her. And that was exactly what I did. I was determined to watch it all crash down and burn. Start a war. ALL FOR HER. Except I never imagined the secrets that I would uncover. The truths revealed and the lies that would be untold. A life perfectly orchestrated by the hands of the ones that I thought I could trust. So I had a choice... I could lay my soul bare and let her slice me open... LOSE IT ALL. Or play it safe and obey the code by which we lived... Was it ever a question? Ever a decision that needed to be made? She was my blind desire. AND SHE WAS ABOUT TO TEACH ME HOW TO LOVE.

Downfall | ✔️ by downfallwrites

[C O M P L E T E D] Amara is drawn to him in a way she never thought was possible; intrigued by every secret, and falling deeper with every lie. The butterfly effect; The theory that every decision you make impacts your life, and the way it unravels. One decision, one person, and one simple encounter that would both change her life forever, and turn her whole world upside down. Two polar opposites - like fire and ice. A bright fire burning inside of her, and a captivating wall of ice built around him. Complicated, insufferable & all consuming. He is her most beautiful mistake, Her greatest weakness, Her downfall. "He finally glances down, his eyes glowing from the setting sun. In his eyes was a sunset of its own, the browns and golds merging together in a captivating whirlpool. His eyes hold the weight of all his fears, raw for me to see. He always describes my eyes as the ocean, and I can't help but worry that his carry too much fear and sorrow for even the ocean to sweep away." "𝐇𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐬, 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐝𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐲 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐥. 𝐁𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐢𝐦𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐞 𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 - 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐧𝐬." [#1 in Downfall.]

Taint, Time and Tangents✔️ by milkandmango

(COMPLETED) There were creatures in this world lurking behind the shadows, unseen and unrelenting. But among them, standing proud and mighty were nine angels known as 'Amaranths'. Being the only white-winged Amaranth, Nine was deemed special. Forced to be confined within the walls of their fortress, she only had one friend, a human boy. He named her 'Callie'. She called him 'Zeke'. For eight whole years, everything was perfect... until the night he disappeared. Compelled to know the reason, Nine found herself accepting a deal just to become a human. Little did she know that it would be biggest mistake she had ever made. Because the guy who greeted her was not anymore her best friend, but a cold heartless Alpha whose hands were tainted with blood. In a world full of lies and secrets, what if love was not enough? This is a story of a selfless love and how a simple choice lead the fates of two people to be changed forever.

Demi-Angel by tylerimdun

"I try to speak but the smoke is almost choking me. He grabs my wrist and in a quick move he has me pressed against the brick wall that was behind me just a few seconds ago. He pants in my face and it smells of the cigarette he just smoked. I'm just about to push him away from me when he presses his lips on mine. I get weak in my legs. I should be mad, frightened and push him away. He could be old, bad, literally anyone could be kissing me right now but I still don't feel bad. It's something with the kiss that just feels.. fine. It's a dream anyway is what I keep persuading myself. I put my hands on his shoulders and move them over to his back as he circles his thumb on my hip. I open my mouth to breathe but that's when he does something that makes my lungs burn. Smoke fills my mouth." She thought her life was normal, that she was a normal seventeen year old. But it turns out to be the opposite. I know the chapters are long, around 4300 words/chapter. Still, hope you'll give it a shot! Thanks! /L

Isaiah 14:12 by VaehC3703

Isaiah 14:12: "How you are fallen from Heaven, Lucifer, son of the Morning! How you are cut down from the ground, you who weakened the nations. For you have said in your heart...." "All of them, sleep in glory, Everyone in his house, but you are just a cast of your grave. Like an abominable branch, Like the garment of those who are slain, Thrust through with a sword, Who go down to the stones of the pit, Like a corpse trodden underfoot." + They say that when the Devil falls in love it will be a reckoning. The world will fall to shambles around us...but guess what, that same devil would protect his precious angel from his own destruction.

The Lovely Paradox by dearchay

❝If you knew that your soulmate were standing right in front of you, and that no one would make your heart beat the same way, you would understand why I'm fighting as hard as I am to keep you.❞ *********** All Amara Valencia wanted was to build her life on her own terms, not the preplanned version her family had for her. At the tender age of 18, despite the vice grip her older sister held, she broke free to build a means for herself. Determined, and strong-willed, she felt that with this newfound freedom the world was her oyster. All expectations came crashing down when a brief encounter with an alluring stranger created a whirlwind. Although she's unable to deny the seemingly magnetic connection, something screams inside her to run. Suddenly, her life became tangled into a world that she never knew existed, and finds herself with more than she bargained for. ©DEARCHAY #51 | #FantasyCreatures | 10/18/2024 #90 | #DarkFantasy | 5/7/2024 #10 | #Filipino | 6/2/2022 #8 | #Asian | 9/8/2024
