In a world slowly crumbling beneath the weight of a deadly plague, truth hides within the quiet stories left untold.
person who refuses to give up.
person who steals apples to survive.
A person burdened by duty.
A person who doesn't yet understand loss.
They all live in the same dying village-separate, yet connected.
Apple's weaves a tale of fractured hope and quiet sorrow, seen through the eyes of those who chose to keep walking when the world begged them to stop. Each chapter reveals another side of a fading world-its secrets, regrets, and the simple desire to stay close to someone, even if just for a little while.
Because sometimes, a single apple... is enough to save someone. Or destroy them.

Apfel (Book 1)
Every word was drawn out of me like a hot wire- some fast, some excruciatingly slow. This collection is very personal to me... Apfel (the German word for apple) marks the beginning of a stage in my life: depression. October to November 2017. This was not about...me; it was all about the other side: the change, the loss, the gathering tidal wave and - and the inevitable. "It's better than keeping it all bottled up"... they say. "You have an outlet" safe; not their responsibility. But they don't think you understand... I bottle it up in poems. Each one charged with aeons of hurt. Each one pushed under the carpet. I always hide away and run from my problems and when I face them create a greater mess than before. That's why I never read them over...until now. Please note that all grammatical and linguistic, as well as those in punctuation and spelling or placing of words were intentional. If you LIKE this and want me to put together my other poetry and pictures as the journey continues, please show me by voting (I might consider adding the other- more sensitive- poems in another volume) and commenting your feedback.

The Pale March
They don't chase. They wait. And they already know your truth. After the world fell silent, after machines turned against the minds that made them, a new terror emerged: the Pale Ones. Human-shaped and ghost-quiet, they come not for the body-but for the secrets no one dares to speak. You don't see them at first. But you feel them. Like gravity. Like guilt. Ty Mercer has walked a long way from Fort McCoy, farther than most, and seen what happens when people stop. He's learned to keep moving, even when he can't make the full thirty miles. He's learned the rules-but not the reasons. When he crosses paths with a ragged group of survivors in the shell of an abandoned megachurch, he gives them a choice: walk south or wait to be unmade. Among them: a boy with a gift for sensing the wrongness others ignore, an artist who draws what shouldn't exist, a preacher clinging to fire and judgment, and a woman who's lost more than she'll ever admit. Together, they march-not just to escape the Pale Ones, but to outrun the truths that might doom them first. Because in this world, the ones who fall behind don't scream. They Whisper.Complete
The Forbidden Desire (Bucky Barnes x Fem. Reader)

It's in good hands with you." In 1942, the first time you met Bucky, you were in awe. The second time, he didn't even recognize you. When Steve got buff, Bucky was invisible and yet, you were still here, wanting him. In 2027, the first time he's met you in a century, you don't even recognize him. What happens next when he has witnessed the love of his life forced to take the path he was forced into? (I don't own any of these characters, only you reader 🚨And trigger warning, this fanfic will contain mentions of SA and self harm. Along with that sexual content as well (maybe)) I consider this fanfic one of my best ones so far. Although I'm not sure about the representation.Complete

Something Without Reason.
The world ended with neither fire nor flood, only silence. The void swallowed all but a scattered few. And in the black aftermath, we decided: Call ourselves Saviors, and they will listen. Call ourselves Saviors, and they will not despair. Five years have passed, and faith has kept us breathing. Lies have kept us fed. And yet, three years ago, something crawled from the dark... a thing that wore a woman's face and called itself Hollow. It whispered a promise: Tomorrow will arrive. We knew from the start Hollow was not on our side. But is it madness to destroy the only thing that understands the void? Or is it madness to live beneath her shadow, clinging to the hope that someone, something, will save us? But what is a Savior to a world that has already been forsaken? What is meaning in something without reason?

When the World Went Quiet
The cities are gone. The governments fell. The lucky died fast. Grace Selene has lost everything-the husband she loved, the child she couldn't save, the world she once understood. All that remains is the road, her healer's pack, and a promise to keep moving. When a strange, luminous moss heals a wound that should have killed her, Grace begins to suspect the world isn't finished with her yet. Power hums beneath her skin-wild, ancient, and impossible. It could save what's left of humanity...or destroy her. Across the ashes of the Midwest, rumors whisper of a place called Haven-a settlement where fires still burn through the night. Grace means to find it, or die trying. On the same road walks Steve Rogers, a soldier burdened by ghosts of his own. Trained to protect and born to lead, he's searching for something worth defending again. When their paths cross, survival stops being a solitary act-and becomes a promise neither of them expected to make. In a land where mercy is rarer than sunlight, When the World Went Quiet begins the story of what comes after the end-of healing, hope, and the kind of love that can survive the silence. ⚠️This is not a sunshine story. It is dark and gritty, while the characters will eventually get their happily ever after it is not a story for the faint of heart. There is mention of sexual assault, rape, abuse, forced pregnancy , abortions, murder and death. Read with caution ⚠️
