This is a collection of my writing from the past 7 years. Before I started to write, I was a very lost individual, as are most teens, but I was lost in darkness. I was too afraid to move anywhere at all. I hid in the dark, debilitated by my own anxiety, sadnesses, anger, and hopelessness. I was desperate to be loved and feared it the most, I was a coward, I was self-destructive, I would mentally bend my thoughts to the point of bordering insanity. I was born into this world alone, and got too comfortable with it. Maybe I still am, but a fraction of what I used to be. This writing is extremely vulnerable, and potentially disturbing to others, as all my weaknesses, strengths, obsessions with making every moment sentimental, the sickening desperation I've had, the destructiveness, and the constant brutal reconstruction of my mind. Without guidance, it's been absolute intense chaos. Though, there is beauty in the darkness. Everything can be found in the darkness. You'll find that through my writing, I've somehow slowly become exactly what I've written. A living representation of my writing and what I wanted to be. Without myself even knowing it. A lot of my writing themes are based around nature, or some kind of natural aspect. The imagery I paint with natural metaphors is constant, the animals, just like you and I, the plants, and all other living things. I planted these seeds in my mind, unknowingly at the time, where I now feel the deep dark green jungle pressing at the inner walls of my skull. It's all that I want to consume my mind. There's so much to learn. The magic of nature, and it's infinite wisdom. It's as if I have been on this path all along, and I didn't even know what I was doing, yet my body and mind were passively taking care of me. Giving me and eventually showing exactly what I want, and wanted to become. I have every moment, every instance of suffering, and every epiphany to be thankful for. Soon, I'll be at peace from the raging storm.

All Yours by drharleenquinzel_

"Please," I whisper, my voice trembling as tears prick the corners of my eyes. "Please don't hurt me." The words barely escape my throat, fragile and desperate. He studies me for a moment, tilting his head slightly, almost as if he's amused by my plea. Then he scoffs, the sound sharp and mocking. "Why would I want to do that?" he murmurs, his voice smooth but carrying a dark undertone that chills me. He takes a step forward, and instinctively, I step back. "I've just found you..." He pauses, his gaze dragging over my face like a predator sizing up its prey. "And now you're mine." Aurora Evans leads a life of simplicity. Eat, work, sleep-her unchanging regimen is her sanctuary, and she has no intention of altering it. But what unfolds when a shadowy figure, lurking beyond her windows, takes an insidious interest in her? One glance at her in a café ensnares him, rendering him captivated, his singular ambition becoming clear: to claim her as his own. Aurora's attempts to escape his shadowy games are futile, especially in the cloak of night when he emerges, weaving his spell under the cover of darkness. He teases, entices, and pushes her perilously close to her breaking point. Her resolve is to distance herself as much as possible. Yet, fate has a cruel sense of irony. When she is abruptly dismissed from her previous job, she unwittingly lands a position working for him-as his assistant-entangling her in a web she can no longer evade. *A STALKER ROMANCE* #1 in "assistant" 12/23/24 #1 in "criminal" 3/8/25

Desolate by nyxschreibt

Beneath the cold, unblinking gaze of the moon, they once stood united, two halves of a whole, bound by chains forged from passion and tempered by tragedy. A man who clawed his way back from hell, a builder by trade, yet destined for ruin. A woman who equally knows both love and war, a wandering soul unable to find her way back to herself. Excerpt: -" I am broken-utterly, hopelessly worthless in and out. That's why I cling so desperately to the thought of being held together. I want to be held, I crave the warmth of being whole, even if it means falling apart all over again. I just want to savor the fleeting, delightful illusion... You cannot break me any further, Sandro. for I am already in pieces. I am Dispersed." "You are not. And even if you were, I have somehow found myself in the ruins of you. Even if you were, you would still find a way to emanate, to be the moon that lights my path, the glow within the darkest chambers of my heart. Unchain the dawn and let me step into your light. Should my yearning be too much for your heart to bear, then let me gather your fragments, not to fix you. (God forbid, as if something as serene as you are could need fixing) But to let them glisten like scattered stardust in my moonless, star-starved sky. Let me wander into your night. Let yourself drift into your light. Let your brilliance break through." -Best believe nothing is the way it looks like.

Love Pain repeat by CountDrugula

Grieving, emotional trauma, love, pain, purpose, self identity. We are all bound by our humanity, and our emotions. This is something we cannot change. What we can change is our relationship with ourselves.

"W-What do you want?" I stammered, my eyes not leaving his gaze on me. "I want to prove you wrong." he smirks dangerously and speaks with his husky, deep voice. He took another step towards me and I took another step back making me collide with the wall. He hovers over me, his chest mere inches away from mine. He kept his hand on either side of me, caging me in his arms. He smirks dangerously and says, "That your body doesn't crave for my touch." He always does this, he intimidates me and then thinks I die for his touch. I would never allow his hand near me. Again. I grit my teeth and said "My body doesn't." He leaned closer to me, his hard chest pressing against my hardened nipples and whispered near my ear "Then why are you so nervous, rose?" He kept his mouth near my ear and his hand came on my bare legs. He slowly trailed his big, rough hands, making his way under my skirt. My breath hitched and he stopped mere inches from my core. No matter how hard I try to deny his touch, my body responds exactly the way he wants. My spine arched and my eyes snapped close. He breathed near my ear and whispered in his husky voice filled with sins, "No matter how much you deny, your body always craves for my touch, wife." ✤✤✤ Devansh Raichand, CEO of the top fashion label who only thrived for finding his father's murderer.

"𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑨𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒓𝒆 𝑺𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌𝒆𝒓'𝒔 𝑯𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒕." Book 2 in "Dark Fate" series. "Obsession is like a wildfire, consuming everything in its path even friendships and boundaries." • ✧ • They say when you are being watched, you can feel it - the prickling at the back of your neck, the weight in the air, the chill sliding down your spine. I used to think that was just paranoia. Until it wasn't. It started with the messages. Words from someone I had never met, written with a sharpness that made my skin crawl. He knew things no stranger should know - where I went, who I loved, what I feared. He knew me better than I knew myself. And when I didn't listen, the threats began. Subtle at first, like warnings. Then louder. Bolder. Until the person I cared for most was dragged into the nightmare I couldn't escape. His presence followed me like a second skin. Flowers left on my doorstep that didn't feel like gifts. Letters soaked in something darker than ink. Whispers in the silence that promised: "You're mine. You have always been mine." And yet, no face. No name. Only the weight of knowing someone, somewhere, would do anything to keep me - even if it meant destroying everything I touched. I have tried to run from him. I have tried to hide behind new places, new people, and new walls. But the truth is simple: there's no distance wide enough, no lock strong enough, to keep a monster out when his obsession runs deeper than love. He's still out there. Watching. Waiting. And the scariest part? I think he's closer than I will ever know.
