Returned, Volume 1: The Thread Beyond The Transpired Sun [READ DESCRIPTIONS] by danialpoststories

A group of 5 growing up in different parts of the world living with different conditions crossed paths when doing their own stuff. What do they seek? They fought dragons, demons with their newly found ability upon rediscovery of what's lost in time. In the advanced world they lived in, what else is there to discover? Love? Hatred? Power? The time has come to finalise the final work. As time passes, we grow old. As time dissolves, the world fades. Updates: The whole chapter three is out, and remember to stay tuned for the next chapter. This story will be released part by part. Each chapter, on average, will have 3 or more parts. I will not be releasing whole chapters in one part because it would be easier for me to refer to a page from a chapter rather than a whole chunk, and also, due to each chapter being lengthy if all parts were combined into one. Changes: After Chapter 1 and onwards, parts will have personal titles.

Falling Short by Zanoobah

My life began in simplicity. I yearned for what any average girl would dream to become, in a world where expectations flourish, yet still being gullible to realise. Like a princess, or even possibly a narcissistic little girl who wants everything to herself, I disregarded the stories told to me during my bedtimes. That 'Beauty and the Beast' was only a figment of one's imagination. That a palace was even a torture ground to those who have absolute control over it, all its inhabitants, and all that are affected by it. The potential bestowed future had been ruined by innocent decisions of my heart, unknown to the tragedy it would inevitably render. In the end, it was my husband, whose gaze I interpreted as one of affection, who was my one and only betrayer. *** | Top Ranks | [#03 in 'Solution' - 13/06/2025] [#05 in 'Resilience' - 18/04/2023] [#06 in 'Islam' - 18/06/2025] *** Important Note: Those who are easily triggered are advised not to continue with this book.

She can't seem to let go of Taylor as her life on the other hand begins to spiral in ways she never thought could ever happen. Follow Taylor and Kaia as they try to navigate through the complicated life of fame, friendship, and maybe more...? * Rated R for mature content and language. * cw // mentions of ED This story is entirely my work of fiction. All characters and fictional places are from my own imagination except for the obvious real famous people. The timeline is not necessarily a hundred percent accurate to Taylor's for the sake of the story and for it to make sense. I hope you enjoy it! Frequent updates!

HOPE IS A GENTLE FLICKER by WhatsWithinMe

‹‹Once upon a time, there was a special child who never aged. To protect it from harm, I hid it within myself, until one day I forgot it was there.›› Adele and Nina, two inseparable sisters, once believed their family was an unbreakable fortress - a safe place where happiness felt eternal. But in a heartbeat, that safety shatters, and their world is forever changed. Their father, their stedfast anchor, has disappeared without a word. The man who once loved them has moved on, leaving them behind. What they don't know is that their world has been turned upside down, and the reality they know is built on lies. For years, they will navigate life under this shadow, viewing their existence through a lens distorted by someone else's deceit, bearing the immense pain of betrayal. But breaking free from this fictitious world isn't easy, for it demands confronting an even harsher truth: the person behind the deception is the one they hold most dear. "Hope is a Gentle Flicker" is a story that explores the fragile dynamics of blended families, the weight of unspoken emotions, and the ways love can become entangled in misunderstandings and hurt. But maybe, amidst the darkness, there may still exist a light - a delicate, flickering light that refuses to be extinguished. A love that, though unspoken, persists, quietly illuminating their path. *** This book is a memoir based on real events from my life. Thank you for joining me on this journey.
