Lia always thought her biggest problem was school stress and forgotten homework.
But one quiet afternoon shatters everything she thought was normal.
Her parents are gone without a word. The house is silent. And then-her room turns into something out of a dream or a nightmare. Books float. Papers spin. Time seems to stutter. But when it all crashes down and she calls her friends for help, the chaos is gone.
Everyone tells her she's tired. Overworked. Imagining things.
But Lia knows what she saw.
As strange events begin to repeat-unseen voices, flickers of movement, dreams that bleed into daylight-Lia begins to question what's real. Is something inside her breaking apart? Or is something outside trying to get in?
In a town where nothing ever happens, Lia is about to find out that everything can change-especially when reality starts to bend.

When the Rain Fell Twice
In the small town of Cantalan, rain was always predictable-it came during the monsoon season and left just as quickly. But on one unusual night, it rained twice within hours, something that had never happened before. For 17-year old Evelyn this was supposed to be an ordinary summer. She had plans: hanging out with friends, preparing for her final year of high school, and avoiding any unnecessary drama. But that night, when the rain fell the second time, everything changed. It started subtly-her reflection in the mirror lagging for a second, her journal entries rearranging themselves, and her best friend, Liam, insisting they had a conversation she didn't remember. Then, the impossible happened: her childhood home, which had been sold years ago, was suddenly hers again-as if the past had rewritten itself. As Evelyn struggles to make sense of reality, she meets Kaegan, a boy who seems to be experiencing the same strange shifts. Together, they uncover a shocking truth: the second rainfall reset something in time, altering their pasts, presents, and possibly their futures. Now, Jeanette and Kaegan must figure out why the rain fell twice and what it changed before they lose themselves in a timeline that was never meant to exist.Complete
Even the Stars Forgot Her Name.
Even the Stars Forgot Her Name She wasn't trying to disappear. It just started happening-one forgotten moment at a time. At seventeen, Haley feels like the world has quietly moved on without her. She goes to school, she comes home, she scrolls through life like it's happening to someone else. Her parents are always too busy, her old friends have new lives, and no one seems to notice how quiet she's become-or how much it hurts. She used to dream big. Now she just dreams of being seen. Then one night, in a haze of insomnia and scrolling, Haley finds an anonymous online forum where people share the things they're too scared to say out loud. And something about their pain-the raw honesty, the way it mirrors her own-pulls her in. As the nights stretch on and the stars stay silent, Haley starts to connect with others who feel like ghosts in their own lives. In their stories, she finds flickers of light. Maybe she isn't invisible. Maybe she isn't broken beyond repair. Maybe being lost doesn't mean you'll never be found. This is a quiet, aching story about loneliness, unseen pain, and the fight to remember who you are-especially when the world forgets.Complete
