Anamnesis
A dying man writes a series of confessions to the only woman he believes might understand him. Dr. David Byron, once a respected therapist, recounts his growing obsession with a fragile fifteen-year-old patient-an obsession that spiraled into seduction, violence, and an act he can never take back. As his health fails and the police close in, David's words blur the line between love and monstrosity, tenderness and control. But when the letters fall into the hands of Clara, his longtime colleague, she must decide whether they reveal a broken man seeking forgiveness-or a predator manipulating her one final time. Chilling, lyrical, and deeply unsettling, Anamnesis is a modern confessional thriller that peers into the mind of obsession and the shadows it casts on everyone it touches. ⚠️ Trigger Warning: Please Read Before Proceeding‼️⛔️ This story contains mature, sensitive, and potentially distressing content, including but not limited to: • Grooming and emotional manipulation • Therapist/patient dynamics with a significant age gap (minor/adult) • Sexual situations involving a minor • Obsessive and controlling behavior • Psychological abuse and gaslighting • Stalking and coercion • Violence, including strangulation and murder • References to childhood sexual abuse (mentioned in backstory) • Depictions of trauma, fear, and predatory relationships This work explores the mind of an unreliable narrator and contains morally gray and disturbing themes.

17 Days & Die ✔️
[NOW TRADITIONALLY PUBLISHED WORLDWIDE] "A life of happiness would be hell on earth." • When Grace finally decided to end her life, the last thing she expected was to meet a stranger simply gazing at the stars, dangling his feet over the edge of the bridge, exactly where she had planned to jump into the abyss and end it all. What was supposed to be the last hour of Grace's life becomes the hour in which she poured her drunken, broken heart out to a stranger over a bottle of scotch and a fresh round of tears. However, before they parted their ways, the stranger offered her a deal: she must promise to hold on to her life for another seventeen days, and afterwards, she could do with it whatever she'd like. He promise to even attend her funeral if he couldn't change her mind. But why seventeen days? And why did this stranger even care? There was more to him than what met the eye, and compelled by her own curiosity, Grace couldn't refuse. Maybe these seventeen days will only prolong her suffering. Or maybe they'll open her eyes to a part of life she never knew existed, full of hope for a brighter future. And maybe, just maybe, she'll learn to fall in love. • [FEATURED UNDER NEW ADULT, YOUNG ADULT, GENERAL FICTION, HUMOR & ROMANCE] • [Extended summary inside] [Started: 1 February'2020] [Finished: 24 January'2021] ©️prettyimbecileComplete
