"I am terrified - How can we be so dead'
and yet alive in this closet?"
"AfterLife" is a story of serene melancholy between two lovers, who choose to love each other beyond life. Rendering the hearts of the half-dead and half-alive - the story is a contemplation of thoughts and feelings that result in everlasting love and transcend the boundaries of time, even in the face of death and mortality. The story showcases the enduring nature of love, even after death; and portrays 'love' as the only natural force acting as the sole guardian of human beings, and their souls.
"AfterLife" is the author's debut short story and depicts the classical themes of love, death, and melancholy in a paranormal setting.

The Nightmare Tales: A collection of horror stories
Enter a world where fear lurks around every corner, silence screams, and shadows breathe. This anthology of short horror stories transports you to eerie situations; each story is brief, incisive, and relentless.

All horrors promise the same thing: a restless night and a racing heartbeat. Some creep slowly, while others strike suddenly. Welcome to the Nightmare
Loved a dying mind
There are people who fill the room the moment they walk in. And then there are people who disappear even while they're sitting right in front of you. She was the latter. Wrapped in shadows, untouched by the noise of the world, she carried silence like it was stitched into her skin. Her eyes didn't blink, her voice was barely more than a whisper but every word clung like smoke, impossible to forget. I shouldn't have noticed her. I shouldn't have cared. But the moment I did, it was already too late. What begins as curiosity spirals into something heavier, a haunting intimacy that feels less like love and more like falling into a mirror you're afraid to shatter. A story not about romance or rescue, but about the weight of existence, and the echo of souls that never quite fit into the world around them. Loved a Dying Mind is a tale of fragile connections, of questions without answers, and of the kind of bond that burns itself into you long after the silence has swallowed everything else.Complete
A Little Ghostly Story
In a world where the dead refuse to rest and ghosts whisper louder than the living, Dante only ever wanted peace. He keeps his distance, hides behind cold manners and sharper words, and pretends that silence is enough. Even though ghosts always denied him that one simple pleasure. One bright day brought many changes. One of them being reckless, and far too curious for his own good, a young man who decided to annoy Dante more than the ghosts. What begins as irritation turns into something far more dangerous: understanding. And between the weight of the past, the stir of monsters, and the moments when the veil between worlds grows thin, Dante discovers that love, much like ghosts, is never gentle. A story about warmth finding its way through frost. A psychological romance about the living, the dead, and everything in between.
Here Lies Me
"To love once beyond the veil is to never live without consequence." Five final-year magic researchers uncover a mysterious record in their academy's archives - a legend of a woman who brought her lover back from the dead. No spell. No ritual. Just love. What begins as a thesis project quickly unravels into something far older and far more personal. Their journey leads them to the edge of a forest where it never stops raining, and within it - a manor untouched by time, and a man who never died. As they dig deeper, they realize they're not just chasing a myth - they're stepping into it. This is not a story about love triumphing over death. This is a story about what happens when it doesn't.
