Time, precious little thing that we don't value
But, it's not something made by ourselves?
So, if we don't value at all, that means we don't value ourselves, ain't that right?
In a town, somewhere you may know, or that is completely unknown to all
Is told about sudden snowstorms, that engulfs the mind, and freezes your existence
Interesting ain't it? Not at all, specially if you know what lies inside it
Want to know?
I think it's possible, let me show you, by the eyes of someone who may be, the only one who left that insanity

The Forgotten Trails

Strange visions. Unfamiliar memories. Growing unease. One by one, the guests begin to unravel - and the lodge begins to fracture. They all went there by choice... But was it REALLY their choice?Complete
The Words I Never Said // A Collection of Essays
Dear Friend, I have so much to tell you. I feel the words tickling the insides of my lungs, the symbols pile up, I sneeze, and they flock into a clumsy-looking snow sculpture (sorry for the unsettling image). I then begin to introduce those words to the world, to you, syllable by syllable. Like little children, they explore the emptiness of paper, and soon all the universal truths blur as I search for explanations of time and space. Where are we? What are we doing? Using emotions as my ink I tried putting into words the unspeakable thoughts that torment my mind until written. Most of these writings were born from loneliness. You don't have to read them, my Friend, but if perhaps you feel just as tormented... these letters are here, waiting to be seen. Love, - Your FriendComplete

Icelyn, the princess of the Winter Realm, is being used as a tether to unite the Winter and Summer Realms in an upcoming war.

She longs to prove her worth to her father and people, but how do you accomplish that if never given a chance? When Icelyn's powers continue to strengthen, her evil stepmother decides that marrying her off may not be enough to rid the thorn in her side and takes a more drastic approach.

When he comes to collect her, her entire world is turned upside down. Her fate was questionable in the Winter Realm, but how will she ever survive in a court of nightmares and ruin? *** She was mine, and it was about time they learned that. I have sat by idly for years, knowing she belonged to me, and yet, I did nothing about it. I did not want a mate, they were a weakness I could not afford, but now they were trying to join her with another, and there was no way I would allow that. "Ready or not, my little snowflake, here I come."Complete
Eyes of the Wendigo
In the isolated, snow-buried village of White Pines, winter is not merely a season-it's a suffocating force that brings both cold and fear. As the bitter winds howl through the forest, a series of violent deaths sends shockwaves through the tight-knit community. The bodies are mutilated, torn apart by what appears to be an animal-but the villagers know better. Rumors swirl about the Wendigo, an ancient legend passed down through generations, a creature born of desperation and hunger, lurking in the frozen woods. A group of seasoned hunters, led by the grizzled but respected Elias Conroy, bands together to track and kill whatever is hunting their people. But as they venture deeper into the wilderness, they make a horrifying discovery: the Wendigo isn't a creature of myth, but something far more real-and far more terrifying. It's not just hunting them; it's infecting them. The twisted remains of their friends and neighbors reveal a monstrous truth: once the Wendigo touches you, you become it. The hunters, once brothers-in-arms, begin to turn on one another as paranoia sets in. Anyone could be next. As the lines between human and monster blur, trust disintegrates, and survival becomes a harrowing, personal struggle. In the brutal cold, with no help coming, they must face the terrifying reality that the Wendigo may not just be among them-it may already be them.

christmas eve
Winter was not the time for everyone. Especially not for Holly, who was snowed in her college building. To her bad luck, she had decided to leave for home on the twenty-first, unlike her friends, when a snowstorm had suddenly hit town. She had cursed mother nature's name. All she had wanted to do was get home as late as possible to shorten the time she would have to spend with her mom and stepdad... but now, she would never get to her destination in time. According to the news, the snowstorm would last days, the consequences might even weeks. And being the only one in her college building could become very lonely... but maybe she wouldn't be as alone as she had expected. To make everything better, Cade Thindal hadn't gotten his ride back home either. - 🥈Second place in the Carnival Awards 2021Complete
Give me shelter
Have you ever felt so lonely you believed there was nothing left for you? Stashed away, merely forgotten. I mean you could cry and cry, yet no one would hear you. At least no one you truly once loved. Being yourself can be detrimental to others happiness, and so you down play who you are. You devalue your beliefs, your morals fall short and that hollow rock turns into your Mirror. Do you matter anymore? Would anyone care if you simply disappeared? Could you find your way out of the darkness? Look Closer is one of my favourite quotes and so I'll use it as a guide to understanding the complex characters you're about to meet.Complete
