Anneliese
Anneliese is an empathetic, outgoing young woman who has struggled finding a safe place to express herself. Often looking for new ways to meet friends, she wouldn't pass the opportunity to chat someone up. Even a stranger at the diner she works at to pass time and support herself. A dedicated man takes to the nativity of Anneliese. He is direct and prefers to keep to himself. Even an isolated man by choice can't withstand Anneliese's pull. Gravitating towards her, he manages to bring her a sense of comfort to the new beginnings in life. Not all beginnings are as true as they let off and lies can only last so long. ~ ❀ ~ I can't help but stare at her. Her face, lips, and smile, and her nose. Even her long, curled lashes. "Let's do a butterfly kiss!" She exclaims, pulling my face close suddenly. Kiss? My heart hammers in my chest, my breath hitching. Her small hands hold my face close to hers. It's not very forceful, I could pull away if I wanted to, but I let her have control. Her hands are warm and soft against my jaw. Getting closer, her eyes lashes flutter and I find myself holding my breath. She brushes her lashes to mine, her breath fanning against my lips. Subconsciously, I lean forward, wanting my lips to be on hers. June flutter her lashes, grazing her lashes to mine. Out of nowhere she bursts out in a fit of laughter. I flinch back. Butterfly kiss. That was not a fucking kiss. ~ ❀ ~ #1 cliche 2025 #1 sweatheart 2025 #1 opposites 2026 *Warning* Mature themes will be covered (language, actions, etc).Complete

FAKE
PROLOGUE My name is Alex Kahill. On July 15, 2017, I killed a person, but am not accused of murder. However, I am being hunted by those who hold me responsible for this death...and most certainly, these folks fully intend to terminate my life. Three months ago, my life was actually better than good. I was taking a personal sabbatical in picturesque Western New York, doing three things that I dearly love. (1) Riding my bike (2) Flying my drone and (3) Visiting my son, Ben, who was interning as an environmental reporter for the Chautauqua Daily, a local paper serving the Chautauqua Institution. Better than good. And then out of nowhere, my existence went to shit. You know, the killing thing. So I'm writing this journal as a cry for help. In an effort to make some sense of the tragic events that have recently unfolded in my life, I'm hoping that if enough light is shed on what happened to me, my potential demise might literally become "troublesome" for those who would do me harm...maybe I'm just being naive, but it's worth a shot. At this point, I don't really have much to lose. I am no writer, so please bear with me. But know that I am totally vulnerable, so I'll try to be thorough as I tell my story. It probably would be good to start at the beginning.Complete

I wanted to hide somewhere and never come back. Lucifer slowly turned me towards him. He lift up my veil and pulled my waist tightly until I was completely pressed against him. Then he whispered "welcome to my world, wife" and kissed me hard on my lips. It was more like a punishment kiss. I tried to push him but he bite my lips hard. Now tears were streaming down my face. After some minutes he released me and wipe my tears and kissed me on my forehead. People were clapping. Celebrating my doom.Complete
SECOND DRAFT: Hard Bank Left
I am republishing this for a friend who wanted to read a sample of my work. The plot is all over the place, but I know I'll revisit it in future. I initially wrote this in 2017 before I knew a lot of things I know now. There's a lot in here that is culturally insensitive. I have done my best to edit out what I could find at first glance, but if you see something glaringly offensive please make a comment about it so that I can correct my errors. The most egregious example that comes to mind is using the G-word for the Romani and relying on unflattering stereotypes. I plan to correct a lot of this in proceeding drafts. Other than that, enjoy my emotional, nonsensical ride! Trigger warnings for: body dysmorphia, body horror, medical trauma, sexual assaultComplete
A Tale of Fortunes Cross
This is the story of Karaan a young magic-less merchant, in a world filled with magic and magical creatures. It was party inspired by "Spice and Wolf" But is by no means a "fan-fic". Karaans adventures takes him throughout a wonderful, enormous continent filled with wonderful creatures. It's also the story of a young girl who lived a sheltered life, the daughter of a famous general, until she was sold into slavery in-order to pay off her fathers gambling debt. These two travel together and each experience the world in their own ways. The story is written from a third person perspective. This is the first full length novel type story I've written. (Well full length is a little exagerative, after a little research it's actually about the length of two and a half to three full novels.) A warning the beginning is ok (grammar wise) but after about the first chapter my grammar sucks, I never refined the rest and have no immediate plans to. This story was written for myself I'm just sharing with anyone that might be interested. If bad grammar offends you or you do not like it then feel free to skip this one. This is one of my more family appropriate stories but I will still say, be warned. The story does contain controversial material, and content that might not be suitable for all audiences, read at your own discretion. Most importantly, enjoy. My purpose for posting this is for others enjoyment, if you stop enjoying the story then stop reading. I wrote this for myself, as a form of self expression, I'm not looking for critiques. Feel free to share opinions, but do not be offended if they are ignored. fComplete
The Silkworm
This is weird, weird but I cannot help it. The reason I'm beginning my note with that very cryptic, absurd line is because this was first meant to be an OS...it is now a TS... this was supposed to be a sequel, to my last OS - Ishq Mera Kaamil - and is now its prequel...crazily, I don't know how it got to be that... I started writing one thing, my imagination ran away with something else, and this became that... I would have named this Jaate They Japan, Pahunch Gaye Chin...if it were even a little bit humorous remotely LOL In short, I'm hoping this makes more sense than my note here and I'll end this here before I get questions about whether I have finally lost my marbles. PS -The titles of the chapters are inspired by the beautiful quote, "The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." Lao Tzu NOT PROOFREAD.Complete
