The fictional black and white facade of Paul Murphy & Aaron Eckleburg's childhood is rapidly vanishing before their eyes, as they recount a day in the life struggle with depression and loss of innocence. Throughout the day's events, Paul & Aaron come to realize an essential tenet of a good life- friendship. The youth of sixteen years pull together the wisdom of their Judeo-Christian upbringings with the gifts of knowledge through ancient & modern literature and the cathartic relief of contemporary music to deal with the daily trials and tribulations of teenage life. It's a search for personal connection and guidance in an ever-growing impersonal society.All Rights Reserved

The Bad Boy Saved Me by Pentatonix21

Do you ever wonder what life would be like if it were a movie? Or some sappy romance novel that you wish your life could be like but it's not? Sometimes you may even get to caught up in the fictional world that you don't realise it IS fictional. Then when you do realise life isn't what you convinced yourself it would be, there is only one possible outcome. Depression. Which may lead to anxiety, self-harm, low self esteem, and worst of all, losing the people you love. Life works in weird ways. Not just for you but for others too. Take Cassidy Rivers for example. Her life is far from perfect. No parents, over protective big brother, few friends, and Asher Norman, the bad boy who won't stop picking on her. Could life get any worse for Cassidy?

Growing Pains by actuallyitsmonica

In the day-to-day trenches of high school, it is almost the default-setting to believe we are the main character of our own coming-of-age story. This is not wrong. It's just ours isn't the only story there is. The jocks, the nerds, the cheerleaders, the losers, the stoners, the fangirls, the skaters. Everyone's the realest most important person in existence, all of them, at the same time, first-person narrators to their own stories, stumbling into each other's plot lines, defying the status-quo, catalysts to ups and downs. A deconstruction of all the high school tropes and cliches written over the years, a deep-dive into the psyche of students trying to finish high school while going through irrevocable self-discovery, the most improbable of connections, and the insufferable pains of growing up.

Eos by Money4vodka

After living full lives filled with both happiness and sorrows, two lifelong friends die in old age and wake up as their younger selves, not in an afterlife, but in a world that they themselves have written about and imagined their entire lives. Now they must adjust to this new reality and fight for the love and respect they seek in a world full of magic, mystery, and danger. This story is a slow, slow burn. WARNING mature language and themes, read at your own risk. Comments and feedback are really appreciated.

Wearing Their Skin by Triduct

A grieving girlfriend is devastated over the loss of her boyfriend, who dies in a seemingly innocent car accident but spirals when it turns into a murder investigation. THIS IS A SCRIPT 😌

Priceless by Kat7729

Part One of a love story that was found through an accident. Suicide is no joke and David knows this more than anyone after his sister committed suicide two years ago. But... after all that heartache, he realized that perhaps he could still save one person. Dear. The story doesn't end here for them but as difficulties get harder, the pages keep turning if they just pick up the pen. It all takes is Dear to pick up the brush and stroke on the white canvas. In the end, what seemed worthless...that work of art can be priceless.

The Specter of War by SaintBlazin

After decades of warfare, humanity has fallen to a new race of anthropomorphic beings known as Anthros. Dethroned, the last remnants of mankind fight desperately to stay alive. Amidst the wake of tragedy, a harrowing experience leaves a young soldier broken in search of those who have wronged him. His name is Mason - a lost soul consumed by a vengeful spirit and fatal wrath deep within his heart. Forced to live on, Mason will stop at nothing to protect those he still holds dear to him as he confronts his own darkness and questions the kind of man he truly is - a man seeking liberation from the cursed path he walks, yearning to find peace in life and the solace of death. ------------------------------------------------------------------ {18+} - 𝙲𝚘𝚟𝚎𝚛 𝙰𝚛𝚝 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚅𝚒𝚍𝚎𝚘 𝚞𝚜𝚎𝚍 𝚍𝚘𝚎𝚜 𝚗𝚘𝚝 𝚋𝚎𝚕𝚘𝚗𝚐 𝚝𝚘 𝚖𝚎.

Roommates by JoMana410

Samuel: "You done with your packing?? When are you planning to shift?" Ace: "Ahh, that." Samuel: "Listen Ace, I don't give a damn about your personal life, but keep it away from me. Let me make it clear, my apartment is a place where I'm at peace. I don't like unwanted attention or unnecessary chaos. I don't want them to turn up at my door looking for you, especially, after your little flings." Ace and Samuel are the two roommates. One is a total fuckboy and the other is a softboy. They are forced to live under same roof. Or is it just an excuse they are using to live together.?? Well!! who knows? But, its rightly said that "Opposites attract". What will happen when they have to face the truth about their own feelings?? Will they accept their affection and attraction for each other. Or simply keep denying the love they feel growing each day.
