Her life is a straight line: study, work, sleep, repeat. Until a stormy midnight brings him.

Desperate to find out why he's being tortured, he searches to find answers. But the creature becomes more horrid and aggressive.

Behind the Screen
The book follows a protagonist whose mind begins to unravel as they are plagued by eerie occurrences that blur the line between reality and delusion. It begins with subtle shifts-a feeling of being watched, strange reflections, whispers at the edges of perception-but as the story unfolds, these sensations grow more intense and impossible to ignore. The protagonist starts questioning their own sanity, struggling to differentiate between what's real and what's in their head. Is someone-or something-watching them, or are they simply losing their grip on reality? As they spiral deeper into paranoia, the boundaries of their own identity begin to fracture, and they realize they may not be the only one in control of their mind. With each passing day, the tension grows, and the truth becomes harder to discern. The story keeps readers on edge, with unreliable narration and distorted imagery that makes them question everything. As the protagonist's mental state deteriorates, the lines between the observer and the observed blur, and the final revelation leaves the reader wondering if they're trapped in this madness alongside the character. A chilling psychological thriller, this book explores the nature of reality, self-awareness, and the terrifying idea that what you think you know may be nothing more than a reflection of something far darker.Complete![Shock Wave [RusCan]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/141895228-256-k931189.jpg)

Quiet Minds
Noah lived an ordinary life behind a desk. He was just another face in the crowd, hiding an ability he never asked for and couldn't control. He kept his head down, avoided people, and never let anyone close enough to notice that he could read their thoughts. That is, until one rough day led him into the one place that would change his life forever: A bar. But it wasn't the bar that had him coming back. It was the bartender. Evan was calm, steady, and impossible to read. Literally. For reasons that Noah couldn't explain, Evan's mind was silent to him. It was both comforting and terrifying to Noah. Over drinks and late-night conversations, a quiet friendship formed. One that became the only steady thing in Noah's carefully hidden world. When an attempted kidnapping forces Noah to run, it's Evan who gets him out. He takes Noah to the Varients: a resistance group with a hidden base in the middle of nowhere where people get strong to protect those they care about. For Noah, it's a new reality. One where everyone is training to defend their home, and where abilities are a common attribute. But what started as survival quickly turns into something more. As secrets surface and tensions build, Noah finds himself drawn to Evan in ways he doesn't know how to handle. With a bond built from a quiet mind and trust, why couldn't love be a factor?
