Underneath where Lilies lie,
Blood-soaked roots refuse to dry.
Every petal hides a name,
Etched in whispers, steeped in shame.
Shovels rang in dead of night,
Moon the only witness, white.
Now the garden's breath is cold,
Feeding stories never told.
Lyra is just living a normal life, haunted by the nightmares of her estranged missing mother, when suddenly her father shows up and accuses her of murdering her own mother.

The Stillness Beneath
In the quiet town of Elmsworth, nothing ever changes-until waitress Rosie Hernandez notices her neighbor's sudden disappearance and the strange silence that follows. What begins as mild curiosity soon becomes an all-consuming obsession as Rosie uncovers fragments of the town's buried past: missing people, hidden rooms, and cryptic symbols that seem to watch her every move. As she follows the trail deeper, Rosie discovers that Elmsworth hides more than secrets-it hides a cycle, an ancient pattern that selects and claims those who dare to see too much. Each revelation pulls her further from reality, blurring the line between the observer and the observed. When the final truth surfaces, Rosie must face a horrifying choice: walk away from the mystery and live in ignorance, or embrace the stillness beneath-and lose herself forever. A slow-burn psychological mystery with haunting tension, The Stillness Beneath explores the cost of curiosity, the fragility of sanity, and the darkness that lies just beneath the surface of ordinary life.
Beneath His Pen
Somewhere between longing and lunacy, he found her. Not in a dream. Not in a poem. But in the corner of a café, alone with a book and the kind of silence only broken souls understand. She didn't look at him. Not even once. And maybe that's why his fingers trembled around the pen for the first time in years. Lyra Selena. He didn't know her name yet. But he would. Oh, he would. Because Lucien Vale didn't write for the world anymore. He wrote for her. About her. To her. And if the ink bled too deep-if obsession laced the edges of every verse- then so be it. The world called him a genius. She would call him something else entirely. --- "Tell me, little muse ..." "Will you run before the story ends?" ---Complete

The Shattered One
This is an original work, so if you plan to offer something, don't. She woke up fractured, wrong, and forgotten. The world she once knew is gone, twisted by a cataclysm known only as The Fade.

Everything watches. In this new, devouring world, a lake calls to her. The sky whispers her name. Something ancient stirs-something that remembers what she once was, before she was broken and buried. As she journeys through the remnants of a shattered reality, hunted by the very fabric of emotion, she begins to uncover the truth of her origin and the role she was meant to play in a world unmade. But some secrets are buried for a reason. And in The Fade, even your feelings can kill you.
