A storm rages outside as an aging man, Mildred, writes furiously-lost in memories that refuse to be buried. The knock at his door at 2 a.m. will change everything. Mildred was once a man of wisdom and kindness, known for his sharp tailoring skills and selfless advice. But behind his gentle demeanor lay a life unraveling-trapped in a toxic marriage, betrayed in his own home, and pushed beyond the limits of reason. One fateful night, betrayal turns to bloodshed, and the man who was once a pillar of virtue crosses a line he can never return from. Years later, his daughter Esme stumbles upon a mysterious newspaper article-her father's name hidden in an anagram, his story woven between the lines. Desperate for answers, she sets out to find him, only to uncover a nightmare far worse than she ever imagined. In a mansion filled with echoes of the past, Esme finds a gruesome scene, her father's body mutilated, his final message clenched in his lifeless fist. But the horror does not end there. The sins of one generation bleed into the next. A mother's unhealed wounds twist into cruelty. A family, already fractured, crumbles into oblivion. And in the end, death comes for them all-one by one, in the most tragic of ways. A tale of trauma, vengeance, and fate's unrelenting grip, Mildred: A Short Trilogy is a haunting exploration of how one act of violence can spiral into generations of ruin. In this gripping and devastating thriller, there is no redemption-only the echoes of a past that refuses to die.

Veilborn

In a world where loyalty is currency and silence is survival, Zoe struggles quietly to stay afloat. Beneath her gentle smiles and whispered apologies is a girl fighting not to disappear. She feels like a ghost in her own life-caught between who she's supposed to be and the nagging sense that something is deeply wrong. Whispers swirl through the city streets. Secrets hide around every corner. The people around her play games she doesn't fully understand-yet she's closer to them than she knows. Seventeen, maybe eighteen. Old enough to survive alone, young enough to feel the weight pressing her down. Most days, she drags herself through the motions: clock in. Get scolded. Scrape together rent. Repeat. Hope is scarce. Trust scarcer. Yet beneath her guarded silence, she still dreams. What keeps her going? A memory, faint but burning-her mother, who saw light where no one else did. Maybe it's spite. Maybe it's the aching need to break free from a cycle that's gnawed at her for as long as she can remember. Her world is messy, tangled with politics and secrets of powerful families-some connections she doesn't even realize yet. Some people are kind. Some are cruel. Some... far more than they seem. And Zoe? She's just trying to breathe, carving a sliver of space for herself, one defiant step at a time. Because if she stops, even for a moment... everything she's fought for could slip away. And no one will wait for her to rise again.
