||Synopsis:
[Short Novel]

In a forgotten town where memories linger like cobwebs, the barber Malachi offers more than a trim-he cuts away the past. But when a stranger begs to erase a love too painful to keep, something dark awakens. Clocks stutter. Reflections whisper. And the townsfolk begin vanishing-not from the streets, but from each other's minds.  

As gaps spread like cracks in time, Malachi discovers his scissors have been slicing deeper than he knew. What hides in the hollows of lost memories? And why does the mirror watch him with borrowed eyes?  

The truth waits, tangled in the strands of a story no one remembers-but forgetting won't save them this time.

Theme: •Memory and Identity
          •The Consequences of Erasure
          •Time as a Fragile Construct

Echoes of the past, shadow of the future by Lyani_arin

Time is not a river-it is a mirror, fragile and fractured. Dr. Luciene Veyra only wished to preserve love, to bind it against the cruelty of loss. Yet in the depths of his creation, something older stirred: a shadow draped in memory, a whisper that calls to the innocent in the silence of night. Children wake with tears they cannot name. Mothers cradle secrets that do not belong to them. Friends glance at one another and see strangers reflected back. And through every fragile bond, a voice threads itself-soft, patient, relentless. Worlds bleed together. Hours bend like broken glass. And as the past and present blur, the heart becomes the only compass left... though even it can be rewritten. This is a story of love undone, of truths unmade, of memory turned against those who cling to it. In the end, one must ask: if time itself whispers your name, will you answer-or will you falls?

Heart Killer (Jeff the Killer x Male! Reader) by t3rrible_fates

"Shit, shit! Why did you stab me!?" I exclaim, laying on the floor with my hand grasping my side, not really putting thought into what I'm saying anymore. "Well what did you think I came here to do!?" He still has his knife out, pointed out towards me. I grab the closest object and hold it out in front of me, this just so happens to be a can of hairspray. "No, you stay back there, I don't want you doing any more damage than you've already done." He falters for a second and stares at the can of hairspray before looking back at me, "I am a murderer, this is my job...you know what this is just getting annoying." - An 18yr old serial killer under the name of "Jeff The Killer" has been tormenting a small town in southern Mississippi for around a month now. He didn't know why he decided to target this town, he just needed to blow off some steam. He didn't want to be controlled anymore, he needed something different. When he meets (Y/n), and fails to kill him, will he actually find someone that understands him? (Y/n), also 18yrs old, is stuck in a house with an emotionally and physically abusive step sister, an avoidant step brother, a Dad who seemed to care more about his work and social status then his son, and a distant step mother. On the outside he looks perfect, he seems to have everything handed to him. On the inside though, however much he may think he's a saint, it's all a ruse to hide his homicidal thoughts. He prays for something new, something that will save him from the drone of life. However the way that prayer is answered might not be what he intended, but what he needs.

My Life, My Alpha.......My Love by cookielover135

"Zachary." I snickered. He growled playfully as I laughed, dodging his attempt to grab me and took off running in a random direction. I ran with Zac right on my heels, until I turned a corner and ran into a hard chest. I prepared myself for a hard fall, when two muscular arms shot out, wrapping around my waist and crushing my body against theirs. "Hello, beautiful." The person said. I looked up to see a handsome boy, probably around seventeen also. His face looked oddly familiar and while trying to figure out why, I froze. His face was inching closer and closer to mine. I could feel his breath wash over my face as his lips was parted, only inches away from my face, eyes closing slightly, when suddenly a fierce growl shot out through the silence, that had my body tingling. In a flash I was out of the mysterious boy's hold and my hand instantly reached out to steady myself. I looked up to see Zac, pinning the boy by his throat, on a nearby wall. "Keep your filthy hands to yourself, she's MINE!!!!"He growled possessively. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My name is Jessica Matthews, i'm 17 and i'm a werewolf..not only that but the alpha's daughter.My life was perfect, i had an amazing family which consisted of my parents, my older brother Jared and I, I had a wonderful bestfriend, Stacey and, even though he wasn't my mate, a perfect boyfriend, Dylan, or at least i thought so, until one night he does something unforgivable and my mate waltzes in as my knight in shining armor. But what happens when Dylan won't let me go so easily and insists that i'm his. It also does nothing to help the fact that my mate is possessive and won't let anyone have what's his. Follow me on this journey of love, lust, hurt and betrayal...and hopefully...A HAPPILY EVER AFTER!!!

𝑰𝑵𝑽𝑰𝑺𝑰𝑩𝑳𝑬 by Day_dreamers_5

Soobin has always felt like he was fading into the background-a quiet soul in a loud world. But on his 5th birthday, his worst fear becomes reality. People stop seeing him, his voice becomes a distant echo, and even his own reflection vanishes from mirrors. At first, Soobin believes it's a strange and cruel accident. But when he encounters a mysterious girl named Crystal, who shares his plight, she reveals the truth: they are victims of The Vanishing Hour, a supernatural phenomenon that targets those who feel unseen or forgotten. Crystal has been living in the shadow of this curse for two years, and she knows the terrifying price it demands. The Vanishing Hour draws its victims into a parallel realm where shadows whisper, memories unravel, and those who succumb are consumed by the void forever. As Soobin and Crystal fight to reclaim their existence, they discover that escaping the curse comes at a terrible cost. When the final hour strikes, one of them must sacrifice their chance to return to the world for the other to survive. In a heartbreaking twist of fate, Soobin is faced with an impossible decision: save himself and let Crystal vanish into obscurity, or surrender his own life and leave her behind in a world that will never remember him.

[Nothing To Everything] Zero by SylenNobody

In a place that doesn't exist - yet touches the edge of all reality - a boy is born from nothingness. He has no name, no soul, and no purpose. That boy becomes Zero. Taken in by strangers in a secluded village detached from the known world, Zero lives quietly, mimicking those around him, learning how to be "human." But his existence is not ordinary - he is a being never meant to cross into this world, and the barrier between realms has cracked because of him. As Zero grows older, he begins to hear the pull of the other world - the one he came from - whispering in shadows, echoing in silence. Strange events unravel around him, and his presence alone begins to distort the natural order. In a world where emotions shape existence, where truth hides behind fragile smiles, and where the boundary between two realities is fading, Zero must discover who - or what - he really is. But some doors, once opened, can never be closed. 🌌 A tale of identity, duality, and quiet salvation. For the boy born without a soul... Can you still be human, if the world refuses to see you as one?

"Like you expressed your friend, am I the one who make you feel those butterflies that you encounter in the pages of your novels?" As soon as he spoke, my throat constricted. Our faces were just mere inches apart. I lowered my gaze, unable to bear looking at him. With his finger beneath my chin, he lifted my eyes to meet his, his piercing blue eyes held me captive, as if I had drifted into their depths. He murmured, " I asked you something, princess." I couldn't help but reply, "No". My voice was a mere whispered, his gazed still fixed upon me. It seemed as, if he blinked his eyes, i might be vanished into thin air. He grabbed the back of my neck and spoke in his deep husky voice. "Let me see, how truthful my princess is being with me." With that he pressed his lips against mine, showing how much he craves for and I felt my legs weakning....

Strip The Crown by Vatsal_Udani

What happens when the past comes rushing back with a single snip? For a woman in her 30s, a trip to a barbershop she hasn't visited in years is supposed to be nothing more than a routine errand with her son. But as she watches the barber work on her child, something stirs-memories, sensations, desires she never expected to resurface. Why does the chair seem so familiar? Why can't she stop thinking about it? And when the barber offers her a seat, why does she hesitate before sitting down for just a simple trim? One haircut turns into another-and another-until what began as a moment of nostalgia quickly spirals into something far deeper. What is it that keeps pulling her back? What will happen when the clippers buzz just a little too close? The Chair is a story of rediscovery, obsession, and the unexpected ways in which we are drawn to the past. But how far is she willing to go to satisfy an urge she doesn't fully understand?
