A Short Story Collection, delves into this delicate waltz that exists between love, heartbreak, and the eternal march of time. Every story explores the deep connections that tie us to one another, memories of love, despair and whispers about everything coming to an end. 
These are stories of lovers doomed to be apart forever, of a love that cannot persist between the shadows; the subtle understanding struck between two souls suspended on the cusp of life and death - each weaved together into a rich tapestry showing us just how wonderful-terrible it is to exist. And there's a new beginning in every ending, and an eternity residing somewhere within every heartbeat. These stories will sound long after you read the final page, to anyone who has ever loved hard, mourned a loss or stood at the edge of something larger.All Rights Reserved

Restless waves by nick_kosh

This is a story about me. I loved, and I lost. Everything I could gather from the fragments of my memories, emotions, and reflections, I've poured onto the pages of this book. It's not just a tale of heartbreak or longing-it's an attempt to make sense of it all, to piece together what remains after life takes away what matters most. These pages hold my joys, my regrets, and everything in between. If you've ever loved deeply, if you've ever lost something irreplaceable, then perhaps you'll find a part of yourself here too.

Kidnapped by Elainthevalley

Never in my life had I imagined that I would be kidnapped. For me, It was going to be just another weekend, but I guess not. ______________________________________________________ " NO PLEASE NO I AM SORRY PLEASE NO I WILL NEVER DISOBEY YOU EVER AGAIN PLEASE NO AHHH " " I AM SORRY PLEASE I WILL DO AS YOU SAY I PROMISE STOP IT PL- AHHH N- AHH PL- AHHH " " IT'S HURTING NO DON'T! NO! REMOVE IT PLEASE!! AHHH I DID AS YOU ASKED ME TOO YO- AHHHHH " I pleaded, begged, cried, but nothing worked in front of them. They are not human; They are monsters, my monsters who never miss a single opportunity to remind me who they are. _______________________________________________________ I thought They would stop If I resist, I thought They would give up If I say No, I thought They would leave me alone If I didn't let them have their way. But I was wrong. They will never stop, never give up, never leave me alone, not until they have me, my body, my mind, my soul, but even if they had it all, I doubt they will let me go. It's like I am his new favorite game which he loves playing because he knows he will always win. It's like I am his new building block, which he loves building only to destroy a second later. It's like I am his new pet which he loves giving punishment to if disobeyed. _____________________________________________________ I think this story, my story will end only with my death ( Tear dropped) ____________________________________________________ Don't trust the book by its cover, Go on, give it a try who knows maybe in the end you fall in love with the book?

I picked up the sound of two rapid heartbeats around me. I swiveled around to face Kelly, and our eyes met. Her scream pierced the air. I was consumed by confusion and fear.

Broken Fairy Tales by lovelycrowsong

Something had happened in Fae, something so big that it broke the number one rule. Whatever had happened, was big enough to affect the humans. First there had been rumours that the mass die off of politicians and top international business leaders had been targeted in the largest revolt in all of history. When no group came forward to claim responsibility, eventually someone noticed a pattern, that nearly all the dead, were known to be corrupt. Whatever had happened, Rhys wasn't going to stick around in the cities to see what had happened. He grabbed his bike, and took off, planning to set up in some remote mountain. Ride out whatever disaster was coming. Fate however, had other plans, and Rhys found himself in the middle of exactly what he had been running away from.

Release Me by anna_rose01

Highest ranked- #10 in action 2/16/2017 A promotion. That's all I wanted. I didn't want to run for my life. I didn't want to be kidnapped. I didn't want to face death. I didn't want to find out my whole life was a lie. I just wanted a bloody promotion. Guess fate had other plans? **** The cold air fanned over my face as I opened the door. The exit door lead to the back of the building so it was pitch black. I leaned against the wall trying to control myself. Blood was running down my arm and head. My hair was stuck to my face from all the sweat and blood. Everything was spinning around me and the ground seemed like it was shaking. Groaning I sat down and put my head on my knees. He knows who I am. He knows how I look like. He knows where I work so possible knows where I live. I am not safe anymore... no where. While I was in my own world I heard faint sounds behind me but I didn't bother to look or run away. The footsteps got closer and I was pretty sure it was Walker's men. I should run. I should try to fight. But what's the point in trying to run away? He would eventually find me and if he has his way he would most likely kill me. If this is my fate then why am I trying to fight it? I felt someone harshly grab my waist and pull me up and I complied. They dragged me down the alley and into the busy street. I heard the opening of a car and the next thing I knew I was being thrown into a car. My head hit the hard leather seat and the door shut behind me. Maybe this is how my life will end. Maybe I should just let it happen. Maybe I was destined to die alone as a no one. With that I let the darkness consume me.

The Last God Standing by WhispersBeyond

A god's power is not in his strength. It is in belief. Once, he understood this better than any other. While gods of war and wisdom carved their names into stone, he whispered doubts, unraveling faith until only his name remained. Now, he stands alone-the last god in a world that no longer remembers the ones who came before. But something is shifting. Prayers grow quieter. Temples stand empty. The power he once grasped so effortlessly begins to slip through his fingers. Victory was supposed to be forever. But even gods are not immune to time. And when belief fades... what remains?

Captured By A Demon by shepherd4583

I finally escaped the factory, they kidnapped me from my college. Today is my birthday, and I had planned for it but nothing helped, only calming me down for the moment. A scream echoed out in the silent starry sky, my body freezing... They were looking for me, I just knew it. Again, I ran and jumping over the fence to the property, muscles burning, my breathing short. I look behind me, not seeing the light of the school anymore. I slow down, holding my breath again. Looking around, only trees and bugs surround me. I slowly sank to my knees, gripping the grass in between my fingers, to keep my breathing calm. Tears springing to my eyes and brushing the tears away, slowly getting back to normal. Suddenly, I felt someone behind me. I could feel its strength and power surround me, turning around to see a dark figure behind me. Glowing blue eyes stared at me, seeing it slowly walk toward me. My breathing becoming short again, a panic attack was on the verge. A hand was now on my shoulder and another on my cold cheek, making me look into his eyes, "Let me help you..." He whispered. Rubbing his thumb against my cheek, I slowly nod my head, when a pain began to form in my chest. I knew it was coming. I quickly get away, crawling a couple feet away. "Get away!" I yelled. My skin turning white and the pain erupting inside of me, feeling it try to escape, and I know if I let it. It will hurt this man. Suddenly, he was there in my view. Blue eyes staring at me, and then his lips were on my own. Gasping as I felt the pain beginning to disappear from inside me. Eyes drooping and my body relaxing against his. Soon, the kiss ended and I was empty. My eyes closing. "Don't worry, I will keep you safe..."

This new world is structured around a society where magic exists, though its true nature remains largely obscured. While the general population acknowledges its presence, there are unspoken intricacies that few seem to understand or discuss openly. Edwin initially resolves to live a quiet and uneventful life, adapting to his new circumstances without drawing unnecessary attention. However, this changes when he discovers a hidden compartment in his father's study containing an old golden pocket watch. Upon touching it, he experiences a series of unfamiliar sensations-visions, voices, and a persistent sense of unease. As he attempts to uncover the truth behind the pocket watch and its connection to his new world, Edwin realizes that his initial plan for a peaceful life may no longer be possible.
