Your mind can be your home... or your prison. Mine became a battlefield."
Alone with the voices that never seem to stop, I spiral between silence and chaos, fighting demons that no one else can hear. The darker the thoughts, the louder they become, pulling me further away from people, from peace, from myself. Some nights, it feels like the war in my head will decide whether I live or fade away.
This isn't just about pain-it's about survival, the struggle to silence the noise, and the search for light in a place that only knows shadows.
For anyone who's ever felt like their own thoughts were their worst enemy... this story is for you.

Nyctophilia
Nyctophilia (n.) -love of darkness or night. finding relaxation or comfort in the darkness --- Life isn't always easy. Sure there's some ups, but there's also downs. My life went downhill real fast the day I lost my voice. The day I stopped talking to any human being. The day that all of it changed the entire way around.

Until he came and changed everything for the best without even knowing it. --- Nyctophilia Heather Walker used to be a ray of sunshine. The kind of person who put a smile on your face with one single glance. Surely, her life was too perfect to be real. Everything got ruined that one night. Since, she hasn't pronounce a word or even communicated with someone who isn't family or best friend. Since... she hates the world. She despises it. Until he comes along. Until he opens a door for Nyctophilia. A door that leads to something she hadn't believed in for years. A door towards hope. Aaron Christopher Black aka your typical underground fighter. Tall, muscular, extremely handsome, but mostly scary. His glare could kill someone easily. He could snap your bone in two without even trying. He is the guy your parents warned you about. Nonetheless, everyone has a reason to their actions, right? No one really knows why he's so cold and mysterious... until she comes in the decor. Ah, will the big bad guy be able to resist to sweet Nyctophilia or will he be whipped so easily no one would believe he really is terrifying? --- ⚠️TW⚠️ This book can contain really sensitive subjects such as self-harm, rape, self-sabotage, eating disorder, depressed thoughts, strong languages and such.

Some Sunlights Burn
Darkness is her only friend. Ivaseah has long made peace with it, curling into its arms like an old habit. She dissolved into the corners of rooms she never felt she belonged in, drifting through life like a fading echo. With a heart too fractured to feel and a mind too loud to sleep, she learned to wear silence like skin. She never wanted to be saved. She only ever wanted to disappear, quietly, painlessly, without a trace. But then he came. With eyes that saw too much. With hands that felt like home. With a light she never asked for. And for the first time, Seah wondered, just maybe, she didn't have to rot alone. But even the softest light casts shadows. And not all sunlights are warm enough to heal. In letting him in, she unknowingly handed him the match. And in loving him, she set herself on fire.Complete
Something Without Reason.
The world ended with neither fire nor flood, only silence. The void swallowed all but a scattered few. And in the black aftermath, we decided: Call ourselves Saviors, and they will listen. Call ourselves Saviors, and they will not despair. Five years have passed, and faith has kept us breathing. Lies have kept us fed. And yet, three years ago, something crawled from the dark... a thing that wore a woman's face and called itself Hollow. It whispered a promise: Tomorrow will arrive. We knew from the start Hollow was not on our side. But is it madness to destroy the only thing that understands the void? Or is it madness to live beneath her shadow, clinging to the hope that someone, something, will save us? But what is a Savior to a world that has already been forsaken? What is meaning in something without reason?
