What happens when the past comes rushing back with a single snip?
For a woman in her 30s, a trip to a barbershop she hasn't visited in years is supposed to be nothing more than a routine errand with her son. But as she watches the barber work on her child, something stirs-memories, sensations, desires she never expected to resurface.
Why does the chair seem so familiar? Why can't she stop thinking about it? And when the barber offers her a seat, why does she hesitate before sitting down for just a simple trim?
One haircut turns into another-and another-until what began as a moment of nostalgia quickly spirals into something far deeper. What is it that keeps pulling her back? What will happen when the clippers buzz just a little too close?
The Chair is a story of rediscovery, obsession, and the unexpected ways in which we are drawn to the past. But how far is she willing to go to satisfy an urge she doesn't fully understand?

Taboo Abandonment issue Attachment issue Freaky Immature FL Celina Valentina had everything money could buy-designer clothes, private tutors, an army of servants-yet behind her manicured smile was a girl twisted by privilege and neglect. She was spoiled rotten but lonely. To the public, Alexandrovich was the epitome of refinement-a billionaire tycoon with a golden tongue and a genius for empire-building. But behind closed doors, he ruled a darker kingdom. The truth? He was one of the most feared figures in the Russian underworld. A kingpin cloaked in Savile Row suits, trafficking in blood, weapons, and secrets. If there was money in it, he had a hand in it. And he didn't hesitate to kill.

And something dangerous stirs inside her a desire she hade for him. What happens when the devil becomes the only man you crave? THE STORY HAS MANY PLOT TWISTS SOOOO DONT BE TOO SURPRISED!!!!

Fuck This
So here's the deal: I, Oreon, took a night shift at the world's saddest haunted pizzeria. Minimum wage, asbestos vibes, and zero life choices worth bragging about. Easy gig, right? Sit in a crusty office, smoke a blunt, and pretend ghosts aren't real. Except-plot twist-they are. One minute I'm joking about asbestos and trauma, the next I'm finding decades-old files about missing kids, murderous animatronics, and some crusty bastard named William who writes like a failed theater villain. Oh, and did I mention the ghost child who literally wrote back to me? Yeah. We're pen pals now. Totally normal. Definitely not emotionally compromising. Add in my chaos bestie Vincent, the girl I'm hopelessly (and pathetically) into, and my uncle who's one angry text away from grounding me into another dimension-and you've got my life. Haunted halls. Cursed notes. Ghost therapy sessions at 3 AM. Welcome to my shift. If I survive this job, it'll be a miracle. If I don't... at least my obituary will say I was hotboxing with spirits.
The Tether : Tale of a Restless Soul
Amanda Fulwood has always felt out of place. Since she can remember, she was never capable of distinguishing the real from the fake, her mind constantly questioning whether she lived what she remembered or if it was just an outstanding dream. There's always this voice in her head, this coldness so sudden whenever she comes back to it. As bone-chilling as the air in a morgue, the feeling never fails to keep her up at night. It only got worse over the years, her visions turning more and more vivid, constantly wandering further away from this realm every time. Living in a small town has its perks, especially when you're the mayor's daughter, but it also comes with a handful of disadvantages. Her reputation as the local nut-job precedes her, and when she's found naked on the school football field, it only furthers their assumptions. Once caged and once freed, Amanda still struggles with the reality she is to face, one where just maybe, she really is insane. Or maybe, her mind is the keeper of something darker, sinister even. For the small town of Milton Oaks, crime is a non existent hassle. So when Amanda's memories seem to correlate with the events of the darkest nights in town history, she's left with a mystery on her hands. One that holds all the explanations she craved, for all the years plagued by those thoughts. But going down that route is a path of no return. Once Pandora's box has been opened, there's no closing it back. Among all the questions Amanda has, the only one that is hers to answer is, "Can she handle it?" Read the book and find out😉
Don't Leave Me
"Stand up.", he said to me. "What?", I asked confused. "STAND UP.", he ordered slightly aggressive. I quickly got up from the bed and stood in front of him. "Take off your underwear.", he demanded. "Wh-" "Now." Doing what he told me to I slowly slipped my underwear off. I was now completely naked as his eyes roamed over my whole body again. "Lay down on your back." Once again I obeyed him without talking back this time which caused him to smirk. Then he grabbed my hands and cuffed them to the bed frame. My eyes widened and as I was about to ask him what he's doing he held up one of his hands. Understanding his signal I remained silent. "Good girl", he whispered in my ear. ------------------- Emily Potters, a 21 year old girl, had to run away from her dark past. Seeking shelter in New York, she battled her way through the darkness.

His finger trailed up my thigh ever so gently causing my pussy complete torture. He knew what he was doing. He knew this was driving me completely crazy. Just as his fingers were trying to push past my underwear my hand grabbed onto his wrist. "Don't," I warned, in a low voice making sure nobody would notice. "Watch me fuck you in front of every single person here unless Tobias stops looking at you like that." He explained. I glanced over to Tobias who was looking angrier than ever. If Tobias didn't stop looking at me not only would my husband keep to his word, someone would send a bullet through his skull. *+*+* Scarlett Salvadore was to be married to a man she hated with all her heart to increase her father's power.

Beatrice Miller
(Kind of on hiatus.... Updates will be random) This story is pure chaos. You have been warned. I had always thought the world was too dull. I dreamed of a fantasy world filled with magic. I was an orphan and had no attachments to the real world. I should have specified my wishes more. Being the next target of truck-sama wasn't exactly on my bingo card. When I opened my eyes I was in a new body in a new world. And there was magic. It was a dream come true despite my painful arrival. But there was something suspicious about the all too bright world. And what was with the ridiculously good looking people? I was inside a novel I knew that much. But what novel I didn't know. Follow Beatrice as she learns that she might just be cursed with a rather troublesome curse. She navigates events with sarcasm and no social skills and tries to avoid the heroine. --------- There might be a lot of typos. It's a reincarnation story inspired by the many reincarnation manhwas I've read so far but with my own twist. English is not my first language. I might not be the best at wording things.
