Mature
A being born to feel the emotions of every other soul, yet incapable of sensing itself, unwittingly brings ruin to the world, lost in confusion and burdened by guilt. Then, a portal opens. On the other side lies a desert: vast, silent, and real. For the first time, it feels the warmth of sand beneath it, the breeze of wind around it, the weight of its own steps. But still, it cannot see, for it has no eyes. It cannot hear, for it has no ears. It cannot smell, for it has no nose. Nor can it speak or taste, for it has no mouth.

SIX MONTHS TO NEVER by brownskinncute
40 parts Complete Mature
At 17, Ariana should be living her best life---senior year, prom on the horizon, and just six months away from graduation. But while everyone else is celebrating the countdown to freedom, Ariana is drowning. Her grades in history and math are slipping fast, and school feels more like a burden than a future. At her side is Dasani, her ride-or-die since elementary school. They're both dreaming of escaping the concrete maze of their city--- graduation gowns, caps in the air, and a new chapter waiting. But Ariana is hiding something darker than missed homework and late-night cram sessions. Her boyfriend, Juan, is nearly a decade older, slick-talking and street-rich from the game he runs in the shadows. To everyone else, he's a predator. To Ariana, he's love--- or what she thinks love should be. He cheats, he hits, and he controls her every move. Dasani sees him for who he really is, and she doesn't hold back. Juan knows it, and the tension between him and Dasani simmers like a lit fuse. As Ariana tries to hold it all together---grades, friendship, and a relationship that's tearing apart---she starts to lose more than sleep. The pressure builds, and the secrets unravel. In the end, loyalty means nothing, and betrayal cuts deeper than any blade. When the dust settles, Ariana's voice is silenced forever---murdered by the man who claimed to love her. And in final twist of cruelty, Juan does the same thing to Dasani; starts abusing her, controlling her. Will she make it out alive? Or will her voice get silenced like Ariana?

Hornovell: City of flesh

53 parts Complete Mature

The city is gone. The screams still echo. When Ariana awakens in the ruins of a world devoured by shadows, she discovers that survival is no longer about escaping death-it is about escaping madness. Every corner hides something alive. Every silence is a trap. The earth itself rots beneath her feet as the air fills with whispers that tear at her mind. Flesh becomes stone. Blood rains from the sky. Friends twist into monsters. But the true horror isn't the city. It isn't the creatures hunting her. It's the voice inside her head. A voice that tells her she belongs here. Ariana must battle not only the nightmares outside but the darkness blooming within her, before she loses the last fragments of her soul. Enter a descent where terror has no bottom, where hope is a lie, and where the only ending is written in blood.
