To Me: A Name Lost in the Wind

"Sometimes, the deepest wounds are not seen-but felt in silence."
As time passes, there are stories left unwritten. Not for the lack of words, but for the fear that someone might read them. But sometimes, the sea itself finds a way to bring lost voices back to shore.
A diary washes up on the coast-its ink slightly smudged, its pages wrinkled, yet its words remain intact, screaming into the quiet. This is not fiction. Someone wrote this, someone suffered, someone wondered if anyone was waiting at the end of their unfinished pages.
But as the words unfold, a stranger in the future reads them-and for some reason, a thought lingers in his mind: Why does this feel less like someone else's story... and more like mine?

The Wayland Memoirs
Some diaries hold secrets. This one bleeds them. Lock Wayland's life seems stitched together by careful hands-elite school, loyal friends, a father who saved him. But beneath the paper-thin surface, questions fester. Why do strange deaths keep following him? Why does the past feel more like a warning than a memory? Told through the quiet descent of ink and thought, this is not just a story-it's a confession dressed as a journal. A record of things unsaid, and perhaps, unforgivable. Open the diary, but tread lightly. The truth doesn't whisper. It waits.Complete
Rascals
A story of a runaway heartbeat and the found family it dragged along. They move from place to place-half-lost, half-chosen-chasing quiet, hiding from the noise. It started with one girl trying to outrun the truth her family fed her, and grew into a mismatched group of escapees: her best friend, a boyfriend, two internet ghosts, and later, the ones who took the place of those who left. But people don't always stay. Sometimes they leave with a note. Sometimes they don't say anything at all. And sometimes... they come back. What happens when someone you loved left you for what they thought was your good-only to return when the damage's been done? What happens when grief makes room for someone new? And how do you know when the road you're running is finally home? --- Content Warning: •Themes of death, grief, abandonment •Found family & trauma bonding •Emotional and psychological triggers •Intimate/suggestive scenes (light smut)Complete

She came to write their stories. But one of them was hers....
Letters from the Other Side
She woke to a world washed in silver. The clouds hung low, heavy with secrets. And when the rain began, soft, deliberate. She welcomed it like an old friend. But this morning wasn't like the others. Between the drops, she saw them. Tiny beings, born of shimmer and storm. Fairies. Real ones. They moved like the rain itself knew how to keep them hidden. And in that quiet wonder, something ancient stirred. Everyone else rushed past, umbrellas raised, eyes down. No one noticed. Except her. One fairy remained. Still, glowing, watching her like it had been waiting. When she whispered, "Hello," the world began to shift. But the rain wasn't the only thing falling that day. A parcel was coming. A diary that writes back. A demon who already knows her name. And a truth her father buried long ago. The past isn't sleeping. It's waking up.
OceanSight Blogs
Hi, A few years back I began my blogger's journey. Now it's time when I archive them all here and share with you all. But before that let me do the little formality and introduce you the blogger, the writer, the artist behind this all. Hey I'm Ocean, a dreamy girl, who has completed her college studies of fashion designing from a few years back and then stepped into the writing world. Though writing was already a big part of me since my school days, but now it has become a professional practice too. Other than writing and designing, I pretty much like photography and travelling. And the things which I love to do in my free time is dancing, listening to music - hindi classicals, qawwali, ghazal, indie-pop or fusions are my favourite, other than that watching movies/series - Classics, Rom-Com, Action, Thrill, Sci-Fi - ALL! and studying film-making. Behind the scenes always hit different to me. So, the big question! What this blog archive is about? And the answer is - it's about all those things which interests me and how I have worked around it and published them as blogs. Yes, it includes everything, things I just mentioned above. And all the things I find fascinating, the things I write about, think about and feel about. The things we share with people and the things which we do not share with people. A place - where thoughts, imagination and creation are put together. The world is seen differently every next day and yet it seems the same. To add one more difference or maybe show a similarity, I'm here to put the view from OceanSight! This is about everything for everyone or maybe a single thing for just that someone, who knows! The raindrops fall down equally towards the ground, how they are embraced and how they are accepted is totally different! So, those, who are interested in exploring new things OR connect with old memories, are welcome... here! Thank You! Te veo pronto!
The Last Fear
The Last Fear "You weren't supposed to be here." Every night at 3:12 AM, Hale wakes. Sometimes in his bed. Sometimes... somewhere else. The mark on his chest grows deeper. People vanish. Then return-wrong. Sketches appear in his notebook that he doesn't remember drawing. Some are dated tomorrow. Some are signed with his name. Time loops. Friends glitch. Mirrors lie. And every thread he pulls leads to a single, terrifying truth: This isn't just happening to him. It's using him. And it's been waiting for him to notice. (I will try to upload chapters everyday,and if i ever miss...then dont worry....that would be my fault...so you will get the chapter which i missed including the new one... pardon me if this happens)Complete
When Stories Wake Up
Are you a writer? Have you ever watched your own characters suffer...and told yourself, "It's just fiction." After all, they aren't real. They don't breathe, they don't bleed, they don't remember....Right? But what if they did? What if every character you abandoned remembered every wound you gave them...Every heartbreak, every betrayal, every death. And what if they remembered who wrote it? So tell me... If one day your characters took the pen from your hands. If your story began rewriting you. If you were forced to live every tragedy you once wrote for them... Would you survive your own ending?
The Language of Paper Butterflies
What if Tawan failed to protect Ayla that night-and Ayla died? Now Ayla is stuck in the After, a liminal place where dust never settles and time lies pressed flat. Here, waiting is its only language. She wakes to rooms stiff with silence, to air that never warms, to skies trapped between dusk and daybreak-never breaking fully into morning. She endures, hollowed by a grief she cannot name, haunted by the absence of someone she only barely knew. She finds companions in the After: Typhoon, Chanya, Nana, even Pete, the weary administrative staff-but nothing lasts. Everything here drifts, and everyone eventually leaves. The After is a place of temporary things. Until one afternoon, against all reason, Tawan appears in the After herself. Their reunion is fragile, tentative. Ayla studies her the way one relearns a forgotten language, grounding herself in the curve of her hair, the shade of her eyes, the tender smile she carries into this half-world. And for the first time, the silence of the After begins to crack. Light bleeds into its horizon. This is a story about loss, mortality, death, waiting, and what it means to love someone even after the end.Complete
4am Knows All My Secrets
Dear Reader, "Nothing in this life lasts forever. Everything is temporary. Leaves that used to make us smile in the spring will soon fall down and we will forget that once, maybe long or maybe not a long time ago, we used to be happy. But this story isn't about what makes us sad. Because the winter will pass and we will see those spring leaves come alive again. And we will smile again. Just like we did many many times before. But then again, what is it about? Guess we'll have to figure it out together. Or I'll let you know once I'm back." She spent her life questioning her worth and her place in this world. Never knowing what to expect or what to hope for. Lost and confused, she wandered down the streets. They all looked the same. The streets, the buildings, parks, rivers, stations. They all looked the same. She was losing hope. She was losing everything. And then she woke up. Nowhere. To anyone, anywhere, any time. Written mostly in a form of diary, it's the story anyone can relate to. It sets no boundaries for age, race, religion or anything in between. The person in the story has no name or appearance. It's up to everyone's individual imagination. It can be you, your best friend, your neighbour or someone you've never met before. It's all up to the reader. This book shows that every single one of us is different. But we all have something in common. You're never alone. Or are you? Sincerely,Complete
