Whispers From A Shadow
- Reads 30

Listen closely to the whispers of a fleeting shadow. Listen to the stories it has to tell from its years of wandering the earth. Listen to the songs it has to sing after years of being unable to speak. A shadow, who is determined to be heard before he is forgotten.
Whispers From A Shadow is a collection of short stories and poems with no central theme. It is not an entirely random work either, and I expect readers to make their own interpretations of what this book means as a whole, regardless of the meaning behind the individual works.

Whispers of the Shadow
In a fractured world where survival means choosing a side, an orphaned girl known only as Shadow lives unseen, striking fear into the hearts of those who wronged her. Branded a myth by most and a nightmare by the few who survive her wrath, Shadow has made the darkness her home. At just eighteen, she's a ghost with a deadly reputation-dangerous, silent, and untouchable. But when an encounter forces her out of the shadows, she must confront the truth she's been running from: staying invisible is no longer an option. Hunted by those she once hunted, Shadow finds herself caught between uncovering a conspiracy that could tear the world apart and protecting the last piece of humanity she thought she'd lost-herself. As alliances shift and enemies close in, Shadow must decide: will she remain the hunter, or will she become the hunted? This is a tale of vengeance, survival, and the price of stepping into the light. Whispers of the Shadow will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very last breath.
Madness
Mind is a wonderful thing.. it's something that makes us-humans, different from one another. We all have a nose,a mouth, two hands, two feet, two eyes, one head-it's the mind inside that head that makes a difference. It's the mind that decides our character, it decides our actions, it defines our life,it's our mind that makes us love or hate something or someone. People aren't all bad or all good.. they have a touch of both but it's the mind that tricks us into loving or hating a person. Most of the times we don't actually love a person, we love the image of the person that our mind creates based on our memories with that person & same goes for the hate as well, we have bad memories with a person, we have a bad image of the person which leads to us hating that particular individual. We don't see people for who they actually are, we don't see the world for what it actually is, we merely see the image of it that our mind has created, the world for us is nothing more than an illusion. Our own personal illusion.. What's funny is that no one's ever going to know your illusion-your world as it is for you.. Despite all of the brilliant illusions that our mind creates, mind itself is the greatest creation of the mother nature. Without mind-this great tool, there would've been no cell phones, no television, no books, no music, no love, no hate, no life. nothing! But in reality, the mind is but a twisted yarn of madness. Yet every mind is great in itself. And didn't they say..? "No great mind has ever existed without a touch of madness" -with love, Harika

Mind {Prose Vol. 2}✔
❝In my mind, there is pain. I am exhausted. I feel defeat from my hair tips to my feet- my body feels the stress weighing down on my shoulders. I try and try every day, but nothing seems to go my way. In my mind, there is pain, yet I try because one day, I will feel great. The body, mind, and soul are connected, and it is up to us to determine how to respect them.❞ - Me These writings are my observations and perspectives, some full of laughter and fun, others painful and dark, suffocating, leaving me with nowhere to run. ✿✿✿✿✿✿✿ A collection of unedited poems I wrote extemporaneously (ages 16-18), as well as a chockfull of quotes.

This book doesn't follow a common theme; it's simply a collection of whatever came to mind. Ever wanted to step into the mind of a delusional teenager? Wondered if what you felt wasn't just a "you" thing? Well, you might be in the right place... unfortunately. But hey, no shame in that. Just be prepared for some utter monstrosities. These poems were written when I was around 13 to 15 years old. Please don't assume that these reflect who I am today.
