Kendall never expected to survive.
After years of battling an eating disorder, self-harm, and the crushing weight of her own mind, Kendall finds herself in a mental health hospital with nothing but broken pieces and silence. The days are sterile and quiet. The nights are heavy. But within the cold walls, something begins to shift - in the form of a kind nurse, a therapist who listens without fixing, and a group of strangers whose scars mirror her own.
As Kendall learns to face her pain rather than erase it, she discovers something she never thought she'd feel again: hope. From writing letters to her younger self to surviving panic attacks in grocery stores, Shadows Into Light follows one girl's journey from numbness to connection, from shame to self-compassion.
Through first steps, small victories, and a love that blooms slowly and gently, Kendall begins to build a life she once believed she didn't deserve - one filled with coffee shop mornings, journaled nights, and the fierce, quiet strength of choosing to stay.
Tender, raw, and ultimately uplifting, Shadows Into Light is a story of survival, recovery, and the power of being seen. For anyone who's ever felt too broken to heal - this is for you.

The Bright Room | 18+
A deconstruction of dark romance set within a psychological thriller, wrapped in an erotic horror story, inside an urban fantasy setting, infused with sci-fi elements, and sprinkled with plenty of nerdiness. I can't guarantee you'll like it, but you definitely haven't read anything like it before. Fair warning - the erotic horror elements are pretty hard. ------ Samantha is ambitious, determined, and strong - a habitual overachiever. But happy? Never. She returns to her hometown and her old best friend, hoping for a weekend of respite, perhaps even a fresh start. Instead, she finds herself thrown into mortal danger, left hovering one breath from death. But survival is only the beginning. Saved by a man whose intentions are anything but clear, Samantha undergoes a procedure far worse than dying, losing herself, layer by agonizing layer. She awakens in the Bright Room reborn - a mystery, both to her captor and herself. To reclaim her life, she must confront impossible questions. Is freedom worth becoming a monster? Can she exact vengeance on the one who saved her? And does she truly want to? For you if you love: Strong, complex women who never back down; moral ambiguity; intense psychological drama; power struggles; trauma explored deeply; twisted relationships that make typical love/hate dynamics look tame. Not for you if: You're young or easily triggered - this story doesn't look away when bad things happen. Note: the cover is temporary, working on a proper one (though similar). ----------- If you are reading this story on any other platform other than Wattpad you are very likely to be at risk of a malware attack.

A raw and empowering short story about loss, survival, and the courage to rise again.Concluida
Pretty Little Poison
*What happens when the prey becomes the predator?* Lily Chen has always been the girl who rescues broken things-stray cats, dying plants, damaged books. At twenty-four, she's built a quiet life working at the city library, volunteering at animal shelters, and avoiding the kind of relationships that left scars on her heart. Then she meets Dr. Marcus Kane. Charming, brilliant, and devastatingly handsome, Marcus seems like everything she's ever dreamed of. He's a pediatric surgeon who volunteers with sick children, a man who understands her gentle soul and makes her feel truly seen for the first time in her life. But Marcus has a secret. He's the serial killer the media calls "The Caretaker"-a predator who targets vulnerable women, breaking them slowly with a twisted combination of worship and psychological torture. And sweet, innocent Lily is about to become his masterpiece. What Marcus doesn't realize is that beneath Lily's delicate exterior lies something far more dangerous than he could ever imagine. When his mask finally slips, when his mind games push her past her breaking point, the fragile librarian will shatter-and from the pieces, a monster will emerge. One that learned everything from the master himself. **The hunter is about to become the hunted.** --- ⚠️ **MATURE CONTENT WARNING** ⚠️ *This story contains graphic violence, psychological manipulation, torture, murder, and dark themes. Reader discretion strongly advised.*Concluida

CLOUD CASCADE
It's the year 398 of the Ninth Era, an age dominated by the Federation's authoritarian control and by the insidious influence of megacorps like Mercator Group. Human-piloted, mass-produced machines known as Frames define the battlefield, surveillance programs monitor your every move, and no one alive remembers what it was like before it got this way. It's in this tightly-wound, bloody ecosystem that four lives collide. The Knife, a mob enforcer with the ability to bend matter, ends up a courier for a piece of tech she's been trained not to ask questions about. Angela, a Frame Pilot Specialist with the Ministry of State Affairs, fights for justice only to find deafening silence. Grey, her teammate, just wants to keep the squad sane. Major Falwin, their superior, investigates a crime scene and finds a Knife-shaped ghost. Nobody has all the pieces to the puzzle-not until Frames drop, guns are pointed, and the nature of reality becomes a question mark. In this new, unrelenting conflict, there won't be any winners, only more devastation.

Even the Broken Bloom
"Sometimes the heaviest battles are the ones no one else can see." Hani has always been the quiet girl-polite, present, and perfectly okay on the outside. But behind her tired eyes is a storm she's fought alone for years. Diagnosed with double depression, Hani's world begins to unravel as her treatment pulls her deeper into the very pain she tried to bury. When she's admitted to a mental health facility, healing is the last thing she expects. There, she meets others like her-people carrying different versions of the same weight. Through broken conversations, soft friendships, and a pink notebook filled with strawberry doodles, Hani starts to see the raw and unfiltered truth: that depression doesn't have just one face, one story, or one ending. This is a story of invisible scars, misunderstood pain, and the quiet strength it takes to simply exist. Based on real experiences. Not a love story. A life story.Concluida
The Shadow of Comparison
"Growing up in someone else's shadow taught me one thing: finding myself was the hardest-and most beautiful-journey of all." School was supposed to be easy-a place to learn, laugh, and grow. But for her, it quickly became anything but simple. 🌿 Everyone around her seemed brighter, bolder, better. Every whispered compliment, every small success she didn't have, made her question herself. Slowly, the shadow of comparison began to follow her everywhere. Then college arrived-bigger, more dazzling, and full of surprises she never saw coming. Friendships that challenged her, choices that tested her, and moments that made her heart ache in ways she didn't expect. Could she navigate this new world without losing herself? From quiet school corridors to late-night reflections, from self-doubt to self-discovery, this story is about growing up, facing unexpected twists, and finding the courage to step out of the shadows. If you loved "The Goodbye We Never Said," you'll recognize the familiar struggles and heartfelt moments-and maybe even find yourself rooting for her as she learns to shine in her own light.Concluida
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.Concluida
