Crippled streets.
A silent whisper.
Broken beams of light.
Her eyes saw it all. The despair; the brokenness of her world. With only her father's hand shielding it all from her.

The year is 1948, rubble and collapsed houses littering the streets of Northern France. Marietta, struck with amnesia, remembers nothing from the war. Not her identity, not her experiences, not her family. All she sees is the present, overcome with a cloud of darkness as France slowly struggles to rebuild everything it had before.

When her curious mind leads her to the attic, her life is changed in an instant. A broken beam of light reveals a box, filled with photographs. Photographs of her past, of her family, of memories that she can't remember. Slowly the truth begins to trickle out, Marietta slowly crushed with it. As she struggles to find who she really is, and to grasp everything that has happened to her, Marietta begins to find a light. A light that she must learn to follow.

Though they are not visible, Ruth Tucker's wounds run deep. Having worked as a nurse for the American Red Cross since the invasion of Normandy, Ruth's hatred for her country's former enemy runs deep. While stationed in Zell am See, Austria, she is assigned to nurse in a German POW camp.

With no one left to miss her back home, Ali creates a bond with those around her, while remembering the life she was taken from and the people she has lost. Is it possible to find something she did not know she longed for in such a strange place? Can Ali let go of her pain and allow herself to heal? What if it is all just a dream? What if it is not?

Two friends, Marius (born in 1810) and Odette (born in 1813), grew up in the life of the luxury.

Odette's mother died when she was fairly young, and after her father remarried, he was shortly reported missing after heading off to battle. A cruel step-mother cut Odette out of the life her parents wanted her to grow up in, and she was forced to work in the streets from age thirteen in 1826 till 1829 when she was reunited with her best friend. And now she works to keep herself and her new found family going, whilst fighting. Fighting hard for a better shot at survival. But what if someone is one her mind? What if she is on that person's mind? What if it's only those two left by the end of it all? Started: 6th August 2019 Finished: 1st October 2019

Submerged by LiricaMalena

They say hope is the last thing to lose. If you lose hope, you lose everything. Anyone who loses their faith, their reason, also loses their soul. This is the story of how Nadine clung to her only hope: to find her family safe and sound. A strange anomaly of the human mind swept the world, and she was alone, with very few clues about the whereabouts of her family. She had to be brave and confront those who had already lost everything. What she didn't know was that chaos had already spread worldwide. Entire cities destroyed, families lost, and the faith of the few who still stood slowly fading away. Replaying the images of her loved ones over and over in her mind, she will have to face those who have lost their hopes, turning into violent beings with a thirst to destroy everything around them, including themselves.
