On an endless rain-soaked highway, a man wrestles with the ghosts of his past and the scars he's carved into his own soul. As the roar of his hatchback drowns out the echoes of lost love and shattered connections, he races forward, chasing an escape that seems forever out of reach. Haunted by the pain he's inflicted-on others and himself-he finds solace only in the fleeting moments of speed and solitude. But can he outrun the storm within, or is he destined to remain his own worst enemy?

A visceral exploration of heartbreak, self-destruction, and the relentless pursuit of redemption, I Was the One Worth Leaving is a journey into the depths of human frailty and the hope that lies on the horizon of despair.

TOXIC REWIND by girlwithregrets11

"We were never meant to last... but we couldn't stay away." They met in high school-young, reckless, and hopelessly in love. When it all fell apart, they thought that was the end. But some love stories refuse to stay buried. When they find their way back to each other, it isn't the fairytale they once dreamed of. Love turns toxic, passion turns destructive, and together, they become the worst versions of themselves. How far will they go before they finally break for good? Or is this the kind of love that never really dies, no matter how much it burns?

The Boy Next Door by AaliyhaWrites

𝐈𝐬𝐚𝐢𝐚𝐡 - One could say that I'm a failure - that I'm nothing but a nuisance, or that I'm a criminal that deserved to be behind bars - And honestly, I couldn't give two shits about what the next person could think of me. I'm what they call a survivor. Risking, and doing things that no 18 year old kid should be doing. So yea, I could care less about what people could think of me. So why was it that when this 𝐠𝗼𝐫𝐠𝐞𝗼𝐮𝐬, 𝐬𝗺𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝗺𝗼𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐝, 𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐳𝐲 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 looks at me, do I want to hide my harsh cold world. To keep her at bay from who I 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 am. She seems so sad. Trapped in her own head, a pain she can't shake. She tries to appear happy but I can see that something's haunting her. If only I knew how to take her pain away. I wanted her - 𝐛𝐚𝐝𝐥𝐲, but nothing good would come from ever loving me. I couldn't be another ghost haunting her too. 𝐈𝗺𝐚𝐧𝐢 - He was quiet, laid-back and a 𝐟𝐮𝐜𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 asshole. Yet, I just can't seem to get him out of my mind. He has that certain . . . . aura about him. One that I'm awfully familiar with. I needed to save him before it was too late - before I 𝐥𝗼𝐬𝐭 him too. His eyes always seemed to draw me in. It's like he was calling to me - as if he 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐝 me, as if he 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐝 me. I wanted him - badly. I wanted him so that I could hold him. To be the one to help him stitch all his 𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐬 and just maybe . . . He could help me fix mine too. After a tragic event that left Imani shattered, she and her mother move across the states to start a new life, ( synopsis tbc )

The Psychology of a Struggling Man by xshadma1

Ethan Hayes once believed he had it all-success, family, and a future full of promise. But at 40, he's a man on the edge. His career has crumbled. His marriage is unraveling. His connection to his children is fading. And the man he thought he was-his identity, his purpose-seems to have disappeared. Haunted by mistakes, trapped in guilt, and lost in a spiral of self-doubt, Ethan's world is collapsing from within. Every day feels like a new battle against an enemy he can't see but knows is there: himself. The question isn't whether he can rebuild his life, but whether he can face the truth about who he has become. As Ethan navigates the wreckage of his past, he begins to ask himself: Can a man truly change when everything he's built has been shattered? And if so, what will he have to lose in the process? In this unflinching journey into the mind of a man in crisis, The Psychology of a Struggling Man explores the emotional cost of living a life defined by external expectations. It's a story about identity, redemption, and the haunting question of whether we can ever forgive ourselves. How far must we fall before we can rise again? And is there anything left to rise for?
