CITIZEN by WhispersBeyond

In a world that feels both familiar and coldly distant, Citizen 4327 goes through the motions of life, always aware that something is missing, but never questioning it.

Trapped in a cycle that promises only compliance, he must confront the truth of who-or what-he really is, and whether the escape he seeks was ever possible at all.

Tesseract Diaries by luxxpei39

This is my first attempt in writing a story, so don't judge too harshly pls. ☻︎ In a sterile, lifeless world ruled by the Administration-mechanical entities driven by cold logic-a single anomaly disrupts their perfect system. A human mind, fragmented and glitch-like, persists in defiance of their relentless scrutiny. Trapped within a simulated reality, where nothing is truly real, the protagonist wrestles with memories that might be fabricated, emotions that evade categorization, and the existential weight of being a question in a world that demands answers.

The Owl by DuckyandtheNut

A man wanders alone, lost in both time and thought in the quiet solitude of a vast forest. Under a watchful gaze, he confronts the fragmented memories of his past-his regrets, his joys, and the weight of a life lived. He relives moments of love, parenthood, and missed opportunities and finds himself reflecting on those moments of his life that consume him. This novella explores the nature of reflection, the human struggle to make peace with the self, and the choices that shape us through rich allegory and profound introspection. With stunning imagery and a narrative that invites readers to reflect on their own lives, this is a meditation on the burdens we carry and the paths we ultimately choose to walk. - - - Winner of the 2025 March Writer's Crown from the Watthub Community
