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.

Mt. Sensan-Ghi by kijknietlinks

A collection of poems and short stories interwoven in a larger narrative that served as a way for me to work through burnout. The tale of Estavir is a metaphorical dive into my burned out mind as he searches for deeper meaning and climbs Mt. Sensan-Ghi filled with trials to test his heart. This is my first published work of fiction. It was conceptualised during a burnout I experienced back in 2017. With support from family, friends and a professional with whom to talk, I tried working through the burnout over the period of a year. At each stage of my journey I created a story to help me process. It's bizarre, a bit dark slightly existential and close to my heart. Please enjoy.

Visual support provided for the story please read again Dedication of my Story is to my Grand parents revolutionary Ramesh Chowdhury and Revolutionary Basana Chowdhury against colonialism. As Author my request is "don't treat the book as a #textbook . It is purposefully a story book. " Though I shall be happy if people get interested about the adventurous science or thrilling history. The story is a science fiction and predictive modelling of future of the earth , drafted with a link to the history. Basic idea of the story is to feel that hope always will be there for rising from the ashes whether from natural disaster as the strong positive vibes and war from the peace process. Though to achieve that needs the freedom. #linkintoepi #book #bookstagram #books #booklover #reading #read #bookaddict #bookworm #instabook #bookstagrammer #booknerd #bookish #bookshelf #bookphotography #reader #booklove #bookaholic #livre #libro #booksofinstagram #bibliophile #author #bookblogger #livrestagram #bookreview #booksbooksbooks #readersofinstagram #bookcommunity #bookrecommendations #booklovers

Allyson In Between ✔︎ by elle-blair

|| WATTYS 2021 SHORTLIST || Hindsight isn't always twenty-twenty. A head injury has left a critical gap in seventeen-year-old Allyson's memory, so she barely recognizes her little sister, Lindsay, who's grown sullen and antisocial. What happened to the silly and fun girl who used to call Allyson her best friend? The answer starts to take shape when Allyson unlocks an instant messaging app and delves into the archived conversations. The more she learns about the person she was before her accident, the more she wants to stop reading. She's ashamed of the way she treated Lindsay, but despite her efforts to reconcile, Lindsay remains distant. She seems to be harboring some terrible secret herself. Allyson needs help to solve the mystery, but she's afraid to challenge her parents' fragile pretense of normality. And Noah, the boy Allyson doesn't remember falling for the first time, is reluctant to dig up the past. Her only choice is to find the courage to meet her former BFF-a stranger who knows all the unsavory details. Allyson will have to own her lies and accept one heartbreaking truth if she's going to keep her family from falling apart. |Cover design by Phillip Hilliker: www.philhilliker.com.

The World In-Between by LaDarnellLilith

Twenty-five and lost, Alex retreats to their ancestral house in a quiet countryside to escape the noise of a life that refuses to add up. Not a single dream fulfilled, not a clear path in sight. Just questions that echo louder in the silence. Then, in a forgotten room and an old mirror that doesn't quite reflect things right, Alex stumbles into a world. Not entirely real but not entirely false either. A place shaped by fear, memory, and all the roads not taken. In its strange landscapes, and fragments of self long buried, Alex must journey through the realm that mirrors the very crisis she is running from. Because to find the way forward, sometimes one have to go to the world in-between.

Loving Zach (MxM) by DKDaisy

Sometimes you need just one person to make all the difference in the world. And even better if you get a whole family of them. Zach's been living in his car for a month now. He has nowhere to go, no job and his money is starting to run out. Life has been rough on him, growing up in an abusive home and later in life becoming the center of a vile man's attention. Just as he thinks his life is never getting better, he meets the charming business owner Dean. Zach is a broken boy and has nothing to offer to a successful businessman who's so handsome he could be on a magazine cover. But life has a way of putting the right person in your path even if you didn't know you were on the one. This is a finished, full length (80k words), slow burn romance about learning to trust, falling in love and healing after life has beaten you down. !Trigger warning: This story deals with child neglect, child abuse, domestic violence and rape. I wasn't overly descriptive about these situations, but they are still a big part of the story. !Explicit sexual scene. Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction.

Cruel Summer | ✓ by ellecarrigan

When Charlie Miller loses her job the week before both her roommates move to California, she decides it's time to get out of Texas. But with her bank account embarrassingly empty and her newly divorced parents living thousands of miles apart, she doesn't know where to go. And then she remembers Fisher. The small lakeside town in Idaho where she spent every summer until she was eighteen at her uncle's cabin. It's the last place she was truly happy, so the day Gaby and Tay move out, Charlie packs up her car and embarks on the 1,800-mile drive. She has no idea what to expect when she gets there: her uncle sold the cabin six years ago, after all, and the last time she was there she was surrounded by her cousins. This time around she is alone, and she is lonely. When she revisits the old cabin, it's pure nostalgia. Until she is caught by the neighbor. Who just happens to be the most beautiful woman Charlie has ever seen. She is smitten, instantly, and all of a sudden her trip to Fisher has a purpose. The only problem: Lou is almost twenty years older, she has a teenage daughter, and Charlie's pretty sure she's straight. But the more time they spend together, the less sure Charlie is, and when a freak event throws them together, there's only one way to find out. After all, she's only here for two weeks and then she has to figure her life out. She has nothing left to lose. © Elle Carrigan 2023
