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.

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

After two years of the relationship, her thoughts begin to get darker and she begins to feel like there is truly no way out. That is until one night she bumps into a man emerging from a dark alley. She can't get him out of her mind. She latches onto the thought of him to escape from the realities of her life...until the thought of him becomes more real than she may have been hoping for. She starts noticing things. Seeing things. Seeing him. But it's too late when she realizes that she may be developing complicated feelings for her stalker. When he finally reveals himself, he makes her an offer she can't refuse. He offers her a way out and she's just desperate enough to take it. But it turns out that she was only trading her life with the devil she knows...for the devil she doesn't. She signed her life away. There's no going back now. She belongs to him.

And In The End by DaniellaOth

She gave up her career, her dreams, and everything she was.. for a love that promised forever. But forever was a lie. When the truth shatters her perfect world, Amara is left with nothing. No husband. No job. Not even the son she gave up everything to raise. Everyone thinks she's broken. But they forgot one thing. You can't bury a woman who remembers who she is. And in the end... he may have walked away, but she's the one who survived. Trigger Warning: This story dives deep into grief, heartbreak, and the raw, unfiltered emotions that come with loss. Because healing is never a straight line.

The Devil's Game by Echoes_Of_Desire

Five friends. One cursed ritual. Midnight is the deadline. It started as a joke - a dare whispered through a forgotten website, a ritual no one believed was real. But when the clock struck twelve, something answered. Something that doesn't play fair. Now, the shadows are alive. Whispers crawl through the walls. One by one, they're disappearing... and only one will survive. Amara thought she was brave. She thought she could handle anything. But the Devil doesn't just want obedience - it wants fear. It wants control. And it will play until the last heartbeat. Will she survive the night... or become just another name on the list?
