To Zafiro, this is her Hell. Trapped in a purgatory without even having committed a crime, right? It's nothing but torture and unfair to Zafiro, yet she chooses to prove herself. Prove that she didn't do anything, but it isn't so easy to do. It isn't so easy to prove you're innocent, but it's easy to say so. On the other hand, Ray lingers in a pit of sloth and laziness, her name being gone and forlorn when without a partner to define her. To herself, she is nonexistent. To Zafiro- Ray is the apple in her eye.
The story itself mixed in many writing styles. Some poetry inspiration, some inspiration from classic literature and gothic literature, and some aspects of plays and theatre, such as soliloquy's. INERTIA is experimental.

Secrets bury themselves deeper, and trust unravels into suspicion. When she loses the man she believed would be her forever, her world fractures into grief, lies, and unanswered questions. And some answers are more dangerous than the questions themselves. A detective who asks too much. A friend who may know more than they admit. And a truth that could destroy everything. The real question is: how far would you go for what you want most? ⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄ ✎ this is a slow-burn, psychological mystery-thriller, a work of fiction ✎ please note that this story touches lightly on themes of same-gender affection and emotional connection. ✎ technically not proofread thanks for reading! unravel © 2025 TheShinks © all rights reservedComplete

What's even more terrifying is that he might be, too. She isn't ready for love. Not yet.

Book One: Pandora
Peace. Peace is subjective. If one were to truly think about it, peace is not possible without the suppression of something. While this sounds bad on the surface, there is a reasonable justification for such a thought. The world rightfully chose to suppress the wrongful urges within us because we knew that it would bring us peace. The past is simply a reminder of the repressed darkness within, and, with such erased from our minds, we have no presumptions made towards one another; we are in peace. When those come against our peaceful ways, they too must be suppressed. But who decides what is darkness and what is not? Who decides what should be suppressed?Complete
