It's Missing Things, the story of Carl, a tech worker making his way through a post-pandemic office.

It's a story about loss and nostalgia. It's about never being able to go back to a time you can still remember. It's about lost connections. But it's also about moving forward. About the impermanence of life.

I tried to tie in the concepts of hiraeth and mono no aware into this, but who knows if I'm skilled enough as a writer.

The aim of this piece isn't so much to tell a story but to convey the feeling of an Edward Hopper painting. To make the reader feel the way one does when one is alone and disconnected. 

It's an existential shit show, is what I'm saying.All Rights Reserved

Second Love by JL_Huxley

I'm cold. I'm alone. I'm not angry... at least not anymore. But here I sit. Alone. And Numb. You think on a Friday morning I would be at the office busy with phone calls, returning emails, meeting with clients, and proving to my boss time and time again that I'm his girl to get shit done...to close the deal like I've done so many other times. But after a year of completely throwing myself in my work, sleeping at the office because I refuse to go back to my apartment and using the typical excuse that I stayed late to work on a project, and becoming emotionless to everything and everyone around me, my boss has had enough. "Hannah, you need a vacation. And it's not negotiable."

A Shadow Of Who He Was (A Fullmetal Alchemist FanFiction) by The_Sin_Pride

(DISCLAIMER: This fanfic has elements that strongly relate to a similar story called 'Morphed', by WrathandRain. Check it out, as it is amazing and they used the general beginning far more effectively than me.) Edward has been missing for just over a month, with no leads to his whereabouts in all of that time. People are starting to lose hope in finding him. All besides Roy Mustang, Edwards commanding officer, Maes Hughes, a parental figure to Edward, and Alphonse Elric, Edwards younger brother, believe that the famed alchemist is dead. When they do find the answers they seek, it is not as it seems to be. Nothing is as it should be, and Fullmetal seems to be no more, a uncontrollable and unpredictable being left behind.

You Were Always a Daydreamer Draft Version by Diiamond0

When you're forced to mask Reality with Fantasy. The lifted layers finally unveil the tombstone of self. The biggest cities into the tiniest pebbles The massive ideas and thoughts formed into merely something to fear. A protagonist who already forgot his name Remembers He is a Daydreamer. Which is the only way to cope with life after multiple tragedies. And the fraud on fake friends faces. Only to daydream. As losing touch takes a toll on that rotting indulgence slowly. This get's quite horrific as it goes on. It's not to enjoy but to reflect on and experience. I decided to publish the draft version, because I don't think I can fully finish YWAADD final edition any time soon. I am in the worst mental and emotional state ever. It's quite a struggle and I suffer heavily. So yeah, the polished draft kind of holds up aswell too. The final one is way longer and eventful. So, um yeah I don't expect this to get attention at all, it's kind of really mid in some parts. But enjoy, or don't I guess. Yes this was inspired by Everywhere At The End Of Time. And other fan projects.

Her life changes, she changes back into her old self. She comes out of her shell, her mind shifting off all the stressful times, and past times, and focuses on this new guy in her life. A guy she desperately wants to keep, but wants to also keep safe. They go through twists and turns, but in the end, doesn't happiness always win?

Nobody really sees Scott Malkinson, until someone does. ______ This story takes place in the same universe as "When Friends Grow Apart" and "A New Kind of Feeling," and is set in about the same time frame as "A New Kind of Feeling." It follows Scott as he navigates the transition into high school and the loneliness he feels in being mocked and overlooked by his peers.
