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
Trapped
❝It is not enough to notice the beautiful flowers as you walk past them. You need to reach for their soft petals, feel their essence, remember what it is to grow.❞ - Christy Ann Martine There is no escaping the past, or what's to come. Ellie Davis knows that all too well. Even as she lays in the field, with the sinking sun and the fading blue sky, suspended in time; she knows it can't be that way forever. As much as she wants it to be. She turns to her side, wringing the daisy chain on her wrist. The evening summer breeze brushes against her exposed skin. Her lids fall shut. "I wish you were here." She says to no one, no one at all, her words lost in the wind. Ellie Davis has had anything but a normal life. Living in a small, tight-knit town with a family like hers and all the secrets with them - her only escape is the graveyard. No one else goes there, for obvious reasons. That is, until she meets a boy - one she's never seen before. The rest of the town is bound to unravel his story soon enough. After all, they know her's. Or at least, part of it. The new guy in town, however, no one knows anything about his. But when he meets her, his story almost seems like nothing compared to her's - and she doesn't even know it.Complete
Break Away
"You will leave me when I tell you to leave me," he said to me, tears spilling out of his eyes, "do you understand?" I was so shocked that I couldn't even speak, my lips just trembled.

Apreggaited Cord
Raine Whispers has always lived their life in quiet routine-early mornings, long shifts behind the stove, and the occasional escape into the pages of an old adventure novel. They pride themself on being steady, reliable, unseen. Safe. Edalyn Clawthorne is none of those things. Sharp-tongued, golden-eyed, and untouchable, she drifts through life on her own terms. The kind of woman who can turn a crowded room with a laugh-or unravel someone with a single glance. When their paths cross by chance, Raine convinces themself it's nothing. Just a girl. Just a moment. But her voice lingers. Her smile sticks. And the harder they try to push her from their mind, the more she slips under their skin. Edalyn notices, of course. She always notices. And if Raine's tripping over themselves is any indication, maybe it's worth sticking around just to see how far they'll fall. A slow tangle of pride and vulnerability, [Apreggiated Chord] explores the uneasy thrill of attraction-the kind that sneaks in when you least expect it, leaves you stumbling, and dares you not to call it love.
SHATTER
For too long, Raine had been concealed in darkness. It had become the only thing she knew. The people who were supposed to love her beat her, rejected her, and threw her away. Her own family had caused her death. But the creature slinking through the folds of her mind, slithering just under the thickness of her skin, and coming alive in the fibers of her soul... woke up. And it was angry. Thus, in blood, rage, and chaos... she was Reborn.
Lucy Beringer and The Tomb Beneath The Tide
Lucy Beringer is falling apart. And no one seems to notice. Not when she stopped trying. Not when the school called. Not even when the words that used to protect her started turning against her. So she was exiled to a windswept island with a father who hadn't looked her in the eye in months. "To help you find balance," he says. But Lucy isn't looking for balance. She just wants someone to see her before she's gone completely. Instead, she finds a ruined chapel. A spiral carved in stone. A notebook that writes in her voice when she's not holding the pen. And an overwhelming feeling that something underneath the island is listening. She's not the first to disappear here. But maybe she'll be the first to come back. A psychologically layered mystery told through dual threads of third-person narrative and cryptic journal fragments. For readers who loved Coraline, The Lie Tree, or The Secret of Nightingale Wood.
𝐑𝐞𝐰𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐈𝐧 𝐒𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐬
She was shattered, her past erased by pain, her voice stolen by trauma. He was a ruler-not just of politics but of the shadows where justice was a debt paid in blood. Ruthless to those who took justice for granted, yet never cruel to the innocent. At an early age, he learned one truth-power commands justice. Without it, you're nothing. That night, their worlds collided. He found her-battered, nameless, drowning in silence. He should've walked away. But something about her... felt familiar. A forgotten memory. A name lost in time. A connection buried beneath scars. She had no past she was willing to share. He had a childhood he never let go of. But fate doesn't ask for permission-it rewrites the story in the most ruthless ways. Some scars don't just heal... they reveal. And when the truth surfaces, will it mend what was lost or destroy them both? A story of pain, justice and an unexpected love that blooms in the darkest places.
