Welcome to Halcyon Hills, a safe place created by scientists for scientists. You will be taken into this unsettling 1950s based dystopia where peace rhymes with perfection and stability. So, put your rose colored glasses on and get lost at your own risks. Life is beautiful, isn't it? 

This is part of a collection of short stories I am currently working on; 'Broken Dreams'. 




Note: This is my first attempt at expressing my creativity in a written form. Hope you'll enjoy it!

"Reality fractures in Halcyon Ridge. So do the people." When a group of strangers-each with unnaturally vivid eye colors and powers they don't yet understand-arrives in the abandoned town of Halcyon Ridge for what they believe is a harmless medical study, they expect needles and questionnaires. Not murder. Their first night ends in blood. The roads out vanish. And something hungry is watching. Trapped in a town that seems frozen in time and twisted by secrets, the group is forced to confront their worst fears, buried sins, and broken pasts-each one manifesting as nightmarish horrors that kill. Paranoia sets in. Friendships fracture. And as the bodies pile up, one thing becomes clear: There's a killer among them. But the truth in Halcyon Ridge isn't just hidden- It's alive. And it wants them to remember what they were never meant to forget. In a town where reality splinters and time doesn't play fair, trust no one. Not even yourself.

the depth of short stories and microfiction by Amethystwolf19
200 parts Complete Mature
I am pleased to present my short stories and micro-fiction collection, a compilation of carefully crafted narratives that aim to captivate readers with their depth and intricacy. Each story is meticulously written, with a focus on character development and thought-provoking themes. The collection covers a wide range of genres, from suspenseful thrillers to heartwrenching dramas, ensuring that there is something for every reader's taste. Despite the considerable effort put into this collection, I must express my disappointment with the lack of recognition it has received thus far. The stories within this collection are deserving of a wider audience, as they offer a unique and engaging reading experience. I invite readers to immerse themselves in the world of my short stories, micro-firction and discover the hidden gems within.
A TASTE OF FICTION by authorkunal246
30 parts Complete Mature
A world where fiction, fantasy and reality collides. An open-world imagination, where the writer, follows his steps back to his dreams and nightmares upon waking up. He tries to remember those mysterious dreams he had and on a fine morning the following day, with a cup of coffee in his left hand and a pen in his right, starts inking them remembering each and every detail. Even though, hardly possible to exactly trace back the dreams in details by any human, the writer links them to the reality in a logical way to make sense such as in political and current aspects. One fine example is 'The Nuclear War' and one could be 'Covid Zombies'. Read and dive deep into the anthologies with the intersection of dreams and reality -What is real and what is not... Better try figuring it out...! Peace ☮️ Reach Kunal on Instagram @authorkunal246
Our Conscious Fields; What is living? by EchoLailia
5 parts Ongoing
Slow paced narrative set in a world awakened to panpsychism and innate abilities following the fall and rise of society. A gentle approach to world building with a bit of humor, romanticism, and just enough hints of drama without going into it. When everyone writes about how it could all go wrong or what happens after it does; who wants to read about what happens if it just goes right for once? Still conflict and drama but, the hard work is already done. Now you just get to see a glimpse of what happens in a reality where it all works out. Work in progress - Inspired by Ready Players?; One Chaotic Answer This will be a slower update than Ready Players? but hopefully be more full in edits and depth. Comments and suggestions considered, otherwise please enjoy as this book and story unfolds. Thank you
