"The Weight of Silence"
By Chaitanya
Trapped in a world of his own thoughts, a young man battles the suffocating silence that surrounds him. His days blend into one another, filled with the oppressive weight of isolation and a longing for something-anything-that might break through the stillness of his existence.
In a room that feels too small and a mind that feels even smaller, he confronts the truth he's been avoiding for as long as he can remember. With every passing moment, the silence grows louder, forcing him to face the dark corners of his soul.
But some truths are too heavy to carry, and some silences too deafening to ignore. As the walls close in, he must decide if he can bear the weight, or if the silence will consume him entirely.

A HEARTBEAT IN THE SILENCE
Love story of fate and forgiveness, where two souls are destined to find each other-but risk being torn asunder by the silence of what remains unspoken-in a world made up of whispers and secrets. An introverted and contemplative artist who quits the noise of his past to settle in a mist-shrouded town stumbles into Yuki, a girl with a gentle spirit and tormenting silence in her eyes, whose world clashes with his, and they are stuck by an unspoken bond and a lingering sorrow that neither can quite define. It is as if, the closer he gets, the more sensitive Kai becomes to some sort of invisible string that ties him to her and pulsates within the quiet which pushes him to discover a truth he can feel but not see. But Yuki holds a secret tied in memory-a memory Kai cannot reach, and Yuki cannot let go. In a heart-wrenching journey through vivid dreams, forgotten letters, and the echoes of a lost love, Kai and Yuki find themselves bound in a past they don't remember, yet one that refuses to let them go. Each heartbeat draws them closer to a revelation that could heal their broken souls or shatter the fragile hearts. Is it powerful enough to overcome the silences of life, or will the truth that seems to exist within their hearts prove too great for them to face? It is in this journey that 'A Heartbeat in the Silence is an emotional masterpiece that will pull at your heartstrings and leave you wondering how far you would go for a love that exists between the heartbeats of memory and silence.Complete

Depths Unseen
Dear You, Once, when I was younger, the world felt so much smaller. Everything important could fit in a single moment: the sound of laughter, the warmth of sunlight, the soft rustle of leaves in a quiet breeze. I didn't think about tomorrow, or the day after that. Life wasn't made of questions back then - it was made of feelings. But somewhere along the way, things began to change. The questions grew bigger. The world, which had once seemed so simple, became a puzzle I couldn't solve. I began to forget the little things - the way the atmosphere smells after rain, or the sound of my own heartbeat when I was truly at peace. Have you felt that too? That quiet loss, the kind you can't explain? If you're reading this, I guess you do. [...] This book isn't a solution. It's a mirror. And maybe, just maybe, you'll see yourself in it. I don't know where this story will take us, but I'm glad you're here. Sincerely, Someone who understands Revised draft Start: 12.01.25 Finish: 29.03.25Complete

Blood Bath
You've always been in the background-watching, waiting-as she captured his heart effortlessly. No matter how much you treasured your friendship, no matter how much you told yourself it didn't hurt, the truth lingered like a cruel whisper: he never saw you. But you refuse to fade into the shadows any longer. Desperation turns to determination, and soon, you're willing to do whatever it takes to make him notice you-even if it means crossing lines you swore you never would. Even if it means losing the people who truly care about you. Because love isn't always patient. And sometimes, obsession is just another word for devotion. How far will you go before there's nothing left of the person you used to be?
