The Patchworks of being alive: a book of short stories
This is not one story, but many. A patchwork of voices and moments stitched together - some soft as a whisper, some sharp enough to leave a mark. Inside these pages, you'll find sadness that lingers like smoke, flashes of surreal wonder that bend reality at its edges, and quiet truths that feel almost too honest to say aloud. There are stories that wander into the strange, poems that breathe between the lines, and a handful of pieces that may stir old shadows. It is a collection for anyone who has ever felt both the weight and the wonder of being alive - the laughter that comes out sideways, the grief that hums in your bones, the beauty that arrives without warning. Weird, light, aching, honest - all of it belongs here.
W h o A r e Y o u?
After tragedy shatters their world, a young couple is left to endure what remains. What should have been the beginning of their future becomes the moment everything changes forever. As they search for a way forward, their lives are reshaped by grief, trauma, and the weight of what cannot be undone. While the world continues forward, healing is expected and normalcy is demanded, both are tested by what love becomes under pressure. Who Are You is not a story about recovery. It is about what is left when survival is all you have. The grief lingers. The distance grows. And the question that refuses to let go remains: Who are you when everything you were is gone? 🗣️ All rights to author VirgoScribe 🗣️ *** Who Are You? is a contemporary work of fiction exploring love, tragedy, and the lasting impact of trauma on identity.***

He was a man of power, feared and worshipped in the same breath, ruling over the world of shadows where morality was a myth and sin was the only language spoken. Love? That was for the weak. He didn't do love. He didn't believe in innocence. Until her. She was untouched by the darkness he thrived in-a vision of purity, a forbidden fruit he had no right to crave. But the devil had never been one to deny himself temptation. And she... she was his greatest one. She should have run. He told her to. Instead, she stayed, unaware that the moment she stepped into his world, she became his. His to ruin. His to cherish. His purest sin. And now, even if heaven came calling-he'd rather burn than let her go.
