This instruction manual was found in a carton of indomie noodles, written on a series of sticky notes, and translated from the language of Orcas. Many pages are missing, others are coffee-stained, and a few appear to be written in some kind of ancient dance. But don't worry - that's exactly how life works anyway.

Inside, you'll find emergency protocols for surviving Tuesday afternoons, troubleshooting guides for when your smile gets stuck in traffic, and soothing tales for when to lick your wounds and rest. All poems and stories come with a lifetime warranty of absolutely no guarantees.

Side effects may include: sudden urges to stare at clouds, inexplicable sighs, alighting from your vehicle to pet street animals, wondering why moles keep popping up, and the peculiar sensation that you're playing a game nobody explained the rules to.All Rights Reserved

Stolen Pages by theloneranger_

~Her words were my poison. I used them to consume myself. Disturbingly honest. Painfully strained. Carefully penned down. Dangerously addictive.~ A journal that landed in the right hands and told a whole story with words, no lips could speak. Two people bound by the pages of a book that tore their souls apart. He found it lying around and wondered what could go wrong. He didn't recognise the handwriting but he knew he instantly fell in love with it. Then it began. The assault of words on his life. He couldn't believe a word she wrote but somehow he did. He knew more about her than anyone else but he knew so little about who she was... It was maddening. How someone could have such an impact on you without having a single conversation with you. Her precious words tortured his existence, they drowned him in misery, created a black hole of words around him, gave him everything he needed to live. Made him fall in love. Gave him a world of his own. Made him believe in rainbows, unicorns, coffee, the basis of happiness, the meaning of every sunrise, the mystery of every deep ocean, she made him human. He knew he had to find her. He had to find out who she was. He had given him all the clues he needed but none of them were enough to prepare him for who she was. But sometimes... The journey is more important than the destination. Sometimes, the journey is the destination. A book full of stolen pages and a boy full of curiosity. This was how he let her shape his story. __________________ Description inside. Italics = Journal entry. 500 word chapters. Okay, so I don't know if you want to read it yet but it would mean the world to me if you could give it a shot.

i need you - an inanimate insanity au by Airy45

To be right but cause death, or cause life but be wrong? A simple project for college gone haywire. Death, murder, mystery, jail. Objects are gaining misfortune left and right. It's Test Tube's fault, isn't it? Or is it Fan's? Taco's? MePhone4's? Knife's? Who knows. But they need to stop it, whoever is doing it... Before it gets too out of hand. It is time for Test Tube to go to college, and to get to her dream college, she needs to do a project. And of the projects, the most interesting is an experiment. She collects others for her experiment, but she didn't know it would come to this. . • began: january 19th, 2023 ended: july 27th, 2023 story and art by me inanimate insanity by AnimationEpic • .

I have no idea. Just an art book for Inanimate Insanity. Hope you like my art! Characters don't belong to me! They belong to AnimationEpic! Only the art (and potential ocs) belong to me!

A Normie's Guide To Mind-Reading | ONC 2023 by Levinos

If you'd like to pick up mind-reading, look no further! This unorthodox guide by a normie draws on first-hand encounters with mind-readers, which means you get an outsider's perspective. If one day you find yourself unable to read minds anymore, or it suddenly occurs to you that you could never read minds, pray that 1) you do not expose yourself, and 2) you have this guide with you. Else, you're in for a wild ride. Hope the taxi from the urban legends exists in your city. It will make things a tad easier since it takes you to places you never knew you needed to be at until you're there.

Entertainment, Ideas, and Random Stories!!! by harry3

BORED? Check this out! Not only does this include totally random, funny, short stories that make no sense it also includes jokes, riddles, things to do when you're bored, movie/book/YouTube recommendations to keep you entertained/laughing and SO MUCH MORE. The short stories were written out of boredom for fun and to entertain others :). Each short story jumps from one idea to the next every sentence, not really sticking on topic, but it's still like a journey for the character. Hopefully it makes someone's day or gives them an idea. So... Enjoy! P.S. I know this says "completed," and it kind of is in that it's not a regular story with a plot line (beginning, middle, and end). However, I will continue to update and add parts to it in the future.

My library of short stories by Izakai_Lord

Welcome to the Library of Tales, a realm born from the depths of a twisted mind, where logic pirouettes with madness and chaos reigns supreme. Here, the absurd and extraordinary collide: knives twirl through the air in deadly ballets, lava pits echo with the wails of tormented souls, candylands brim with grotesque creatures spawned from the union of nightmares and dreams, and cosmic entities swap destinies with mortals in an eternal cycle of ascension and fall. Among the infinite corridors lies a father defying the fiercest storm for love, a man returning to the past to face the haunting truth about a long-lost friend, and a rebellion of animals rising against the twisted experiments of a deranged candy empire. This sentient labyrinth of shifting shelves and living tomes is presided over by a Librarian whose essence infuses every creak and shadow. Within these twisting halls, whimsy and horror play an eternal game of hide-and-seek. Darkness offers comfort while light blinds. Comedy and tragedy trade masks with gleeful abandon, and the boundaries of good and evil blur into a haunting nursery rhyme. Beware, traveler-crossing the threshold will not leave you unchanged. The library's secrets dig deeper than any wound, its stories unraveling the fabric of your reality and opening more eyes than you thought you had. So, tell me: will you take the risk? Within these walls, knowledge and peril are bound together. Here is your key and card-a gift and a warning. The Library is watching, waiting. Whatever you expect, it will not be what you find. Good luck, brave soul-your journey begins now.
