This is a tunnel story. This is a "life in New York City" type of story. This is about finding the world in this world and you better fucking believe there is no road map.

I must have forgotten to introduce myself. My name is Wren. I am now twenty years old and my first love was the snow globe sitting on the shelf at the 99 cent store, although, I’d still bend over backwards for Gunner. He IS my best friend after all.

"I found you something, THAT'S why I came over.” I watch him slide his iPhone out and do a few subtle taps on the screen. “Here, look at this.” He pushes his phone in my face and shows me what appears to be a dark tunnel with traces of nonsense graffiti. I grimace and push the contraption out of my face.
“What’s so special about a tunnel?” I sip my coffee down.
"I think it's a missing wonder of the world."

Without You─Human!Will Cipher X Reader [DISCONTINUED]
Discontinued! Feel free to read through, though. Hey, my name is Y/N M/N Cryptogram. I know, a silly last name, but what can I say? If you ask me who I am and why I have that last name, I can assure you that I'm human. My father just made that last name up when he had the chance to change his name. Eh, who cares? Anyway, I'm a girl of mystery... That's what everyone calls me. And now I'm moving to a place of mystery, Gravity Falls! I don't know why though... There's just one thing I can't put my finger on about this place... It feels like... It's protected by a barrier of some sorts and there is a lot of strange creatures in the forest. I'd tell you not to go there, but that EXACTLY where my house is! In the middle of a strange forest! Now isn't THAT fun?! I guess we'll see how this little town goes... : Well I don't own the characters, neither do I own you. I just own this silly fanfic and your last name (muahahaha). Okay, gotta go! ~Constellation Highest ranking: 56 in #willcipherComplete

An Endless Day
"Alright, it's 12 noon. Deal or not?" I couldn't look at him, so I stared at the beauty in front of me. Somehow I knew he was watching it too. I felt like we were characters of a famous story, standing side by side, gazing ahead. I hesitated, my heart was beating fast, I was almost afraid that he's going to hear it too. But for the first time in my life, I trusted my heart and told my brain to go to hell. The girl lead in this story was going to do what she wanted, and won't fear the consequences. "Let's do this." I said and turned towards him. We remained silent for a couple of moments, absorbing the meaning of the deal we just agreed to. And then I saw his lips turned upwards just enough for me to notice. He turned to me and held my hand. I felt several emotions just by touching him. Nervousness, excitement, fear, happiness all at once. I pushed them all aside, and smiled ear to ear. He held his hand up, counting down to three, my heart racing with every finger he raised. And just as he finished, we jumped off the cliff.Complete

Chronicles of becoming
In her thirties, she walked away from a life that felt like it was closing in-leaving behind the familiar streets of Europe, a routine love, and the safety of everything she knew. Drawn by the promise of something greater, something electric, she chose New York. A city of endless lights, endless possibilities, and endless illusions. But instead of finding herself, she found emptiness. Nights blurred into fleeting encounters, brief touches that never lingered, and hollow moments disguised as connection. Beneath the vibrant pulse of the city, she felt nothing. No love, no fire, no sense of belonging-just a growing void. These are her chronicles-a raw and intimate journey of a woman lost between who she was and who she thought she could become. It's a story of longing, of chasing meaning in a world that offers only illusions, and of coming to terms with a brutal truth: sometimes, before you can find yourself, you have to confront the emptiness inside.
