The risk of betrayal made her feel unusually alive. When people turned against her, she wasn't surprised; it was like enveloping herself in an old, worn blanket-cold, and familiar in a terrible world. She knew all about this and accepted it like it was nothing, yet underneath this acceptance was a deeper truth. She had witnessed tragedies that questioned her sanity, experiences so many things that simply thinking about them threatened to consume her fully. She had witnessed tragedies that put her morals to the test, experiences so horrific that simply thinking about them threatened to overwhelm her. Shadows tormented her thoughts still to this day, speaking of unspeakable atrocities and anguish that she felt, both committed and received, until it was nearly unbearable. Until she's fully consumed. The voices called to her, offering a tempting escape, and she was on the verge of taking one more, irreversible step, away from a world that had shown her nothing but cruelty. She is, Kianna Vesperlynn. ⋆౨ৎ˚⟡˖ ࣪⋆౨ৎ˚⟡˖ ࣪⋆౨ৎ˚⟡˖ ࣪⋆౨ৎ˚⟡˖ ࣪ Book Cover Artist: My best friend, Sen ^^ IG: @chisenniii

It tackles real-life struggles with toxic relationships, the human psyche, meta-physics; what it means to truly love, what it means to be truly free; what it means to live.

Thriller, Romance, Humor, and Cosmic Horror--all in one. Author's Note: "Hello. I'm Tufold. I'm writing this book as a projection of my mind and heart in the form of words.

A novel built up by its author, sure, but also its community." LEGAL NOTE: ALL CHARACTERS IN THIS NOVEL ARE PURELY A WORK OF FICTION. WHILE SOME ARE VERY LOOSELY INSPIRED BY PEOPLE I'VE KNOWN, MORE THAN HALF OF THEM ARE PURELY FICTIONAL. THE INSPIRED CHARACTERS ALSO DO NOT SHARE THE NAMES, LIVES, NOR TRUE IDENTITIES OF THEIR INFLUENCES. THIS NOVEL RESPECTS THE IDENTITIES OF HUMAN BEINGS AND THEIR PRIVACY.

Dark World: 3 humans - RAW (Rough Approximate Work) by setrin_

Post-apocalyptic horror fiction set in a time parallel to ours. There is an emphasis on describing the psyche and thought processes of the characters. A story about 2 people who don't like each other living in the same place with the third person, that is good friends with both of them, trying their hardest to make it work and keep peace. This story starts off slow with the first relatively short chapter giving needed context but from that point, it's pretty much constant conflict filled with combat, dialog and action. This actually serves as a backstory for characters I want to include in other stories that I plan to write later so you will most likely be able to see these characters in my other work later. RAW (Rough Approximate Work) - unfinished, badly edited, full of mistakes, lacking in colourful expressions, an initial version.

Third book to Chaos series. Enjoy.

"When I tell you that he hates me, you'll probably assume it's because he's a jerk...but you'd be wrong. He's not a jerk. I am." --- Several years ago tragedy struck Emma's home, leaving her broken... like a cup with cracks spiraling and slithering around the edges. Slowly, bitterness crept in like tar, hardening between each fracture to resemble a deceitful wholeness. She became a monster, and targeted her venom on the sweetest person she could find: Trinity Nixon. Too bad the boy Emma longed for was Trinity's brother. Now, as Emma fights to win the heart of the boy who despises her, she's forced to hide her demons. She paints her fragile cup in pinks, yellows, and oranges - all the colors of the sun. She paints on a smile, and an unusual sense of humor, so that the world will view her as bright and cheerful, when in reality she's breaking.
