These 30 stories compiled in the months of August 2023 - February 2024, made in handwritten yellow pad papers and shared to the world for the first time shows that there are ways we find to connect with others through the stories we tell to one another. Stories dealing with the loss of a loved one, the horrors of reality, about the challenges faced in life, a longing for the person we loved, the laughter shared in-between, the hopes we treasure for tomorrow and beyond and of the little interactions that happen in life. It is through the attachments, love, support, consistency, determination and dreams do we find the will to push through and accomplish what needs to be done that is set out for us to tackle. Goals and art; sacrifices made and understood; and the belief that chasing the dream is all worth it and that it helps us connect and inspire us to do what matters the most.

Irresistible Deception by Moonlighton245

Deception is an irresistible thing. It shows you how far you're willing to go to get what you want. It shows you what you want to see, but in the end; it leaves you with nothing to hold. An illusion to take pleasure in but make you question reality itself. BLAIR ANDERSON is quite a...strange girl. Despite the mistreatment and emotional neglect from her parents, she believes that deep inside everyone, there's always good. Because of her too trusting nature and her desire for love and affection she never received, it may lead to her ruination when she meets AMEO ADLER, who can be too...calm in frightening situations, for a lack of a better word. He's someone with an insatiable, dangerous appetite that he tries to hide from her. He would go lengths to prove to her how much she means to him, but to what extreme will he do that? Should there be a limit until it's becomes destructive? She will quickly realise that Ameo isn't what he deems himself to be; whether it's a good or a bad thing. She will soon learn that there's a frail, delicate line between protective and possessive; attraction and obsession; the admiration for someone and the desire to own one's being. She will later understand that not everyone who saves you is your guardian angel; and that sometimes, the devil does the saving instead. What happens when he enters her heart bit by bit? And after she falls into his love trap, perfectly made for her, will everything change? Just what could ever go wrong when a fiery rendezvous ignites between a gullible woman and an artful man? Nothing. Right? *Disclaimer! MATURE Content* Read this with caution, as it might be too much for some readers. If you can't handle it, it's best to stop for your sake because a lot of...things are going to happen in this story. <In Wattpad> Published: 12.02.2022 Finished: 12.05.2023 Ranks: #1 gaslighting #1 twisted #2 dark love #2 suspicion #3 deception #3 imprisonment #4 gamble #4 illusion #4 mania [Original Story]

As Evelyn races to find a way to save the new transfer student from being murdered, a voice starts whispering in her ear. Someone or something lurks in the shadows. Watching. Waiting.
