The Quiet Struggle follows the poignant and emotional journey of Katherine "Kat" Greene, a once-vibrant teenage girl whose life is forever altered after a devastating car accident. Left with severe brain damage, Kat wakes up in the hospital with little memory of her past and a future she cannot comprehend. Struggling to piece together the fragments of who she once was, she faces a world where even the simplest tasks are now overwhelming challenges.

Unable to control her body, Kat is forced to rely on others for care. She wears diapers and needs assistance with basic tasks-her body and mind no longer in sync. Her speech is fragmented, her thoughts a jumble of confusion and frustration. Once independent, Kat is now like a child in an adult's body, seeking answers to questions she can't even fully express.

As she navigates this new reality, Kat's emotional journey becomes one of quiet resilience. Through the compassion of her devoted mother, who remains by her side, and the support of her caregivers, Kat begins to find small moments of hope, discovering that despite her challenges, there is still a spark within her-a will to connect, to heal, and to reclaim a sense of herself.

In this intimate and heart-wrenching exploration of identity, memory, and the power of human connection, The Quiet Struggle invites readers into the mind of a girl fighting to find her place in a world that feels both familiar and foreign. Through Kat's eyes, we learn that strength doesn't always come in loud victories, but in the quiet determination to keep going, one small step at a time.

Kate's College Struggles by Kittylyn209
5 parts Complete
Kate is a small, shy girl who's starting college after barely graduating high school. She didn't want to go to college initially because she didn't feel like she could handle it, both academically and mentally. However, when her one and only friend Megan decided to go with her, Kate agreed. The small girl has anxiety issues due to being bullied for her childish appearance and behavior. Kate was born with permanent incontinence, making her have to wear diapers her whole life, something she was bullied for in school. It also didn't help things that she had a growth hormone deficiency, causing her to stop growing at only 4'5 tall. The bullying was only exaggerated further due to her childish mannerisms, always carrying around a stuffed animal and drinking out of sippy cups. The onset of her first college semester caused her anxiety to skyrocket to new levels, which in turn, caused her to become even more childish. Megan, Kate's only friend, was a 6'1 tall girl who had great grades through all of school, taking all advanced classes in high school and entering college with a year's worth of credits already. Her much better grades caused her to be in different classes than Kate through all of high school, but Megan used her status as the smartest student in her class to choose her schedule so that she always had lunches and study halls with Kate. The two girls became friends all the way back in kindergarten. Even back then, Megan was the smart one. She realized that Kate always needed extra help with work and would go into the teacher's office with the teacher for diaper changes. Megan felt bad for the poor girl, having stopped wearing any kind of protective underwear herself soon after she turned 2. So Megan introduced herself to Kate and they quickly became friends, Kate becoming clingy even towards Megan. How will Kate's first semester of college go? Will she be able to handle it, or will she end up flunking out or dropping out?

[New Chapters Monthly] A Cursed Devourerer. A King of Light. One Destined for Salvation, The Other Sacrifice. *** Helena is the last of her kind, born to an immortal race of beings. Her Ilk was conceived from the Harmonious Union of the first god and goddess, Mother Void and Father Life. Born from Chaos, the Harmonious could consume the flesh of gods. Painted as shape-shifting monsters of both creation and destruction, the Harmonious were said to have wrought destruction through all Realms of Reality. Fearing all of creation's destruction, the youngest twelve gods and goddesses betrayed the Mother and Father. In an act that spilled blood from the stars, every last child of the Harmonious Union was slaughtered. Her spirit now captured and enslaved by the White Pantheon, Helena knows existence only by what it lacks. Starving, exhausted, and formless; Helena is devoid of life. The gods ignore her prayers; Mother is silent to her begging. Centuries pass in torment until the appearance of a mysterious and powerful deity rips her away from formless darkness. The being claims the title Lord of the Black, and though he appears as a man, it soon becomes clear he is no servant of the Twelve. As time progresses, the undeniable pull of attraction and fate continues to lure Helena toward Lord Black. Even though they can't seem to go five minutes without fighting, affection begins to bloom inside Helena's rugged and broken soul. Peace is elusive, however, as the past quickly begins to unravel its twisted roots. An old enemy rears his many heads, threatening the delicate threads of life Helena has just begun to weave. Lies, religious corruption, and the truth about Lord Black's origins begin to dig twisted vines into the blossoming love between them. The struggle of overcoming her nature threatens to undo all that Helena has been gifted. And her very existence promises death for creatures she has learned to love.
