In a nation that promises liberty yet binds its people in unseen chains, Kocvh stands at the fault line between history and the present. An African American man navigating the fractured terrain of America, his journey is one of resistance, revelation, and reckoning. From whispered legacies of bondage to the quiet violence of modern systems, Kocvh carries the weight of generations-yet refuses to be crushed by it.
His path is not linear. It bends through borders both physical and psychological, through institutions that speak of justice but echo with silence. As he confronts walls built from policy, prejudice, and power, What does freedom look like when your always at war?
Not so Free-Freedom is not just a story-it's a mirror. Kocvh's struggle is layered, symbolic, and deeply personal. What he endures, what he resists, and what he becomes...All Rights Reserved

The Lotus in the Dark by Emmy-Fox

Love was supposed to complete me. That's what everyone said. That once you found the right person, your life would bloom like a garden in spring. But instead of wings, all it gave me were chains. Chains I hid behind my smile. Chains I didn't show my friends. Chains my family never even knew existed. I thought silence would protect me. I thought holding on to a love no one else could see would make it stronger. But silence isn't protection. It's poison. And one night, when the weight became too heavy to breathe, I whispered into the dark: "Enough." A lotus blooms even in the dirtiest water. And maybe, it was time for me to bloom too. This is not a story of being saved. This is not a story of waiting for someone else to notice my pain. This is a story of becoming my own savior. This is the tale of a Black Lotus-rooted in mud, rising in silence, crowned in power. And if you're reading this, maybe it's your story too. Maybe you've been hiding your love, your scars, your truth. Maybe you've been carrying someone in your heart who never carried you back. But here's what I've learned: You don't need anyone's permission to grow. You don't need anyone's approval to shine. You don't need to stay chained to someone who cannot claim you. You only need yourself. And once you rise, once you bloom, once you stand tall in the storm- You'll become the voice, the light, the fierce energy that lets others rise too. I am not here to be quiet anymore. I am here to roar. To bloom. To live. I am the Black Lotus. And I will not be hidden again.

Fate or Coincidence by Nahtaashah

This is a deeply personal, memoir-style journey through love, trauma, and resilience. Told through the raw and reflective voice of the writer, the story traces her relationship with K-a boy who entered her life during one of its darkest chapters. What begins as a quiet love formed in the shadows of grief soon becomes a lifeline, a bond that offers hope in the face of abandonment, violence, and heartbreak. But love alone is not enough to heal all wounds. As time passes, silence grows, promises break, and the author is left to pick up the shattered pieces of herself. Set against a backdrop of family conflict, emotional scars, and a search for identity, this is not just a story about first love lost-it's about survival. It's about the courage to walk away, the strength to heal, and the quiet power of finally choosing yourself.

I did it all for love. Heartbreak can turn even the kindest, most passionate people into cheaters, players, killers, and things alike. Some people can come out alive, breaking the surface of the sea of misery, while others are left to slowly drown until their irreparable heart breaks another. Avah had never experienced a pain as grand as the one her longtime boyfriend caused when he kicked her to the curb following five long, amazing years together. She spent her days crying and wallowing in her own affliction until her best friend finally managed to get her out of the house for a few days.

In Debt To The Devil by ElysianHer

"Well we don't have that kind of money." I said as I furrowed my eyebrows as I looked at my fathers. "They need more time to pay it all off, it is true. I thought they will be able to pay it. So, I gave them five months. The third months can't be paid. They don't even one third of the annual payment. I believe you will a talk about my offer to them very soon." He said as he was walking towards me. "W-Wh-Why?" I asked as he approached me as I looked up at him. He was tall but, I was not very short either. He must be 6 feet but I was 5 feet and 7 inches.

Ya Zhivu Na Dvoikh "I Live For Two" by SouthernTech

The wind does not howl in Skrytyh Razum. It remembers. In a village buried in frost and silence, compassion is forbidden and survival is a kind of sin. When a starving boy is found hiding in the hollow of a dead tree, no one dares to speak his name- no one except Pomni, a Goliath girl whose defiance burns brighter than the cold that rules their world. She gives him bread. She gives him a name. And with that act, she changes both their fates forever. As the seasons pass, William learns to live for two-for the girl who saved him, and the ghosts he could not save. But in Koshmar, mercy is punished and hope rots faster than the body. When plague and war come for the village, love becomes rebellion, and survival demands more than endurance-it demands sacrifice. In a land where the wind keeps every secret, even kindness can kill.
