Some wounds don't heal. Some souls don't leave. And some truths wait in silence.
After surviving a suicide attempt, Mara is referred to a quiet support group known only as AfterCare. The group meets every Tuesday night in a forgotten wing of the hospital. No sign-in. No paperwork. Just a circle of strangers who all seem to understand her too well.
But when one member suddenly disappears and no one will say why, Mara begins to question everything - her memories, her recovery, and whether she ever truly left that bathtub at all.
As the weeks pass and the veil lifts, Mara uncovers a haunting truth: AfterCare isn't about saving lives. It's about understanding what comes after.
A slow-burn psychological horror about grief, healing, and what waits in the quiet.

Symptoms of Insanity
Nine individuals, spanning generations, are haunted by a sinister force known only as Insanity-an entity that is neither man nor woman, neither loud nor silent, neither real nor imaginary. It exists beyond time and space, with a single purpose: to claim those destined to be found, twisting their minds into an endless, inescapable wilderness. Trapped in this torment, these nine souls must rely on one another to overcome the entity's grip. But as Insanity tests their sense of direction and strength, the question remains-will they rise and reclaim their rightful thrones, or will they falter, kneeling before their own crowns, forever enslaved to the thief of their destiny?Complete
Loving The Liar
I met him in the ward-room 407, just down the hall from mine. He said he was broken like me. Quiet. Gentle. Safe. But he's not a patient. He checked himself in. And I'm the reason he came. After the overdose, they said I'd lost control. But he knows the truth-because he's the one who watched me fall. Now I'm stuck inside this hospital with him, and the boy I'm falling for might be the very reason I tried to die. He says he can fix me. But first, I have to remember what he did.Complete

Everything Hurts
I knew what was coming later tonight, not only at home, but on the way there. I knew that reacting right now would just make it worse though.

Jason and Alicia have the perfect relationship from the outside looking in, but Alicia has kept her wounded spirit and body hidden well. After another one of Jason's violent rages that is impossible to hide, Alicia is finally able to get away from the abuse though. In the process of healing, she begins to relearn what trust, compassion, and safety are once again - that is, until Jason discovers her whereabouts.
