In a strange household ruled by cold green eyes and unspoken rules, Aynur is forced to obey or face punishment. Her quick wit and stubborn spirit help her resist, but every day feels like a battle to hold onto herself.
Dreams of open grasslands, yurts, and her parents' embrace clash with the harsh reality of being locked away, silenced, and reshaped. Amid fear and heartbreak, she clings to fragments of memory, refusing to let her stolen childhood be erased.
This is a story of survival, identity, and a little girl's desperate fight to stay whole in a world that wants to break her.

daughter of the wasteland
Five years after a devastating nuclear disaster, the world Yulia once knew has been buried beneath layers of frost and silence. In the frozen wasteland of Siberia, she and her mother, Darina, struggle to survive on dwindling supplies, scavenged roots, and the fragile hope that they're not truly alone. Darina hunts in the bitter cold, haunted by the memory of her husband, who never returned from his last trip into the wilderness. Yulia clings to the static-filled radio, desperate to hear a human voice that isn't her mother's. When a faint signal flickers through the silence, it sets Yulia on edge and ignites Darina's fear. But hope is dangerous in a world where survival demands caution. Are the voices they hear a promise of salvation-or a new threat hiding in the snow? As the two face the unrelenting cold and the harsh reality of their isolation, they must decide how far they're willing to go to uncover the truth-and whether trust has a place in a world that has already taken so much from them. In this gripping tale of survival, Frost and Ashes explores the fragile line between hope and despair, and the unbreakable bond between a mother and daughter fighting to stay alive in the frozen ruins of a broken world.Complete
The Cycle: Children of the Vanished
First, the adults vanish. No warning. No answers. One moment they were there, and the next the world was left to the children. Ava Carter is sixteen, clinging to her little brother Eli and the promise she made to keep him safe. But survival is more than food and shelter. Strange symbols scar the streets. Shadows move where nothing should be. Her dreams bleed into waking life, filled with a mysterious man who speaks in riddles and visions that feel like warnings. And always the same truth, whispered in the dark: when you turn eighteen, something comes. Ava doesn't believe in destiny. But as her brother drifts closer to danger, and the cycle begins to tighten its grip, she must face a terrifying question-what if the answers she's searching for are worse than the silence?
A Smile before Rot
Six hearts. One wasteland. And the dead remember everything. The world ended, but the living kept loving. In a land where the rot has a mind of its own, six broken souls claw their way toward hope - or toward each other's destruction. A butcher who forgot how to feel. A bystander who never learned how. A prophet who mistakes obsession for truth. A liar who can't outrun her past. A smiler with blood on her tongue. A scavenger with a desperate heart. The dead are changing. Faster. Smarter. Watching. And in the red hush before the final collapse, something old is waiting to be born.

But some secrets are buried for a reason. And in The Fade, even your feelings can kill you.

This is a story about life, finding oneself in unfamiliar territory, losing those we love, staying together with those we love, growing up, hardship, and above all else, finding a way through. Stay strong, dear reader, there may be rough water ahead. **** It is important to note that there is disturbing content in this story. I am not a woman, and I do not presume to know all the hardships a woman may face. I do not intend this story to take away from real stories, nor do I intend to make myself seem somehow righteous in telling of the hardships of others, even in a fictional sense. I only wish to acknowledge the cruelty in this world, and the reality of the suffering of those who suffer, who are hurt, who are victims.Complete
