While her family wrapped themselves in layers of cold indifference, Iris wrapped herself in dreams of a brighter future, choosing to ignore the emotional frost that lingered around her.

The Painting
"It took me five seconds to fall. The impact on my chest jarring my body but not my mind. I suppose this is the point where your life is supposed to flash before your eyes as time itself freezes - and it did in a way. But I didn't relive my life physically like walking through an old memory, déjà vu in each step. It was a feeling, something that started in my chest and spread to my fingertips, one so unique to me that it encapsulated each significant event into one single second." For as long as May can remember one mystery has haunted her world. A dirty window before her, the grim obstructing her vision, she has lived with a loss she can't identify - that is until one rainy night. Gradually the spots of dirt May scratched at for so long wipe away with the touch of a finger. But when she looks in will she like what she sees - or will curiosity kill the cat?Complete

Sanctuary of Shadows
When sixteen-year-old Iris reluctantly agrees to join her friends on a hike through the woods, she expects boredom, blisters, and maybe a few sarcastic quips to get her through the day. What she doesn't expect is to stumble upon a forgotten church in the middle of nowhere-a building untouched by time yet teeming with an inexplicable darkness. At first, the group is drawn in by curiosity, but the deeper they explore, the more unsettling the church becomes. Uneasy whispers, eerie smells, and strange visions plague Iris, leaving her questioning her sanity. But when her friends begin disappearing, taken by an unspeakable creature lurking in the shadows, it becomes clear this place is more than just haunted-it's alive. Trapped inside with no way out, tensions flare, secrets unravel, and fear morphs into paranoia. As the church's sinister grip tightens, Iris must confront her past encounters with the supernatural and rally the others-if they don't tear each other apart first. In a place where reality warps and survival is far from guaranteed, one question lingers: Can they escape the church before it consumes them all? Prepare for a chilling descent into madness, betrayal, and the unknown in this psychological horror that will haunt you long after the final page.
