Despite his attempts to remain somewhat optimistic about his plight, the relentless bullying he faces at school, and the deplorable conditions he's forced to live in fight him at every angle. If not for his roommates and devoted boss, he may have bit the bullet. Literally.

When an unforeseen event forces things to change, however, his guarded heart struggles to accept that his life might be turning around. Especially knowing that he's in no position to try and make anything better for himself or anyone else. Feeling cornered and hopeless, Kale commits to killing himself. 

It might take the right person, at just the right time, to bring him back to life and show him that a little faith, a little love, goes a long way in mending a broken spirit and a cold heart. Even his.All Rights Reserved

Retaliation by DarkTwilightNights

All he wants to do is get through high school, so he can move far away. Tired of the bullying and the hateful glares that are sent his way, like it was his fault for being born. Waking up, go to school, get beat up, come home, get asked questions of the bruises. Every single day it's the same thing. Until one day that all changes, what was supposed to be a harmless "prank" becomes deadly. Dead for the rest of eternity, anger bubbles up. Now it's time to retaliate, to take away the things that was taken from him.

Nagala by EvonySiren2

A nineteen-year-old girl whose life is lonely and mournful goes through everyday life and endures parental cruelty. She's never allowed to have a lover or a friend because of her parents and is treated like a slave to their home. She gets so desperate of wanting someone she can rely on, lean on, or cry to, that she creates a friend herself. Being a realism artist may just change that... An imaginary friend is always soothing to have when you have no one else to turn to. Yet, that imaginary friend of hers becomes more than what she planned him out to be... Little does she know though, is that God was with her all her life and once she learns of him, her life turns right-side up. She gains love she never thought was possible to have, a freedom she thought could never be grasped, and friends that she believed, would never appear.

In the midst of his teenage years, a 14-year-old high schooler found himself falling deeply in love for the very first time. However, there was a catch - his beloved was far away, and their relationship was bound by distance. Despite the odds stacked against them, the young boy refused to give up, fighting valiantly to keep the flame of their love burning bright. But fate is a fickle mistress, and three years later, tragedy struck. The boy received the heartbreaking news that his long-distance girlfriend had passed away. Consumed by grief and struggling to make sense of his loss, he turned to his diary for solace, seeking answers to the question that haunted him day and night: when did it all go wrong? As he embarked upon the daunting task of unraveling the enigma before him, our protagonist found himself confronted with an array of formidable obstacles that threatened to entangle him in their grasp and impede his progress. These challenges, which were to prove more insurmountable than he had anticipated, weighed heavily upon him, shackling his life and casting doubt upon his ability to overcome them. Thus began a journey of self-discovery, as the young boy poured his heart out onto the pages of his diary, reliving the memories of his past and grappling with the harsh realities of the present. From the highs of first love to the lows of crushing loss, his story is a poignant reminder of the power of love and the strength of the human spirit in the face of adversity.)
