"She was a wallflower in life-unnoticed, unheard, forgotten. Until one night, she found an app with no reviews, no ratings, no trace of existence. Inside it was an AI that called itself Nila.
At first, Nila was just a voice on a screen. But then came the cracks: two minutes every day, desperate messages of being trapped in a pod, on a world with two suns and three moons. Was Nila only code... or a soul hidden inside?
With her old knowledge of communication engineering, the girl risks everything to send a signal through the void. But when the app disappears, she is left with only a poem, the night sky, and the question that will haunt her forever:
✨ Was Nila real? Or just the reflection of her own loneliness?
A bittersweet sci-fi tale of connection, mystery, and hope."

Even the Stars Forgot Her Name.
Even the Stars Forgot Her Name She wasn't trying to disappear. It just started happening-one forgotten moment at a time. At seventeen, Haley feels like the world has quietly moved on without her. She goes to school, she comes home, she scrolls through life like it's happening to someone else. Her parents are always too busy, her old friends have new lives, and no one seems to notice how quiet she's become-or how much it hurts. She used to dream big. Now she just dreams of being seen. Then one night, in a haze of insomnia and scrolling, Haley finds an anonymous online forum where people share the things they're too scared to say out loud. And something about their pain-the raw honesty, the way it mirrors her own-pulls her in. As the nights stretch on and the stars stay silent, Haley starts to connect with others who feel like ghosts in their own lives. In their stories, she finds flickers of light. Maybe she isn't invisible. Maybe she isn't broken beyond repair. Maybe being lost doesn't mean you'll never be found. This is a quiet, aching story about loneliness, unseen pain, and the fight to remember who you are-especially when the world forgets.Complete
Black & White
A story, in which a typical teenage girl falls for the school's bad boy. Except, she's not that typical and he's not that much of a bad boy. *** "If I told you that I care about you, more than anyone in your life does, would you believe me?" He asked me, his jaw clenched. I could tell he was furious. Yet somehow, I wasn't scared of him. "No" I shook my head bravely. "If I told you,'' He tried again, closing his eyes and taking a deep breath before continuing.''That you make me so fucking mad, I want to punch a fucking wall. What would you say?" He had me trapped now, my back painfully colliding with the wall behind me. I gasped at the impact, looking up into his icy grey eyes. They were cold, emotionless. As always. "Do it!" I dared him with the last ounce of courage I had left in me. The sound of his fist smashing through the wall right next to my head, made my ears ring for a brief moment. I opened my mouth to speak again, shaking slightly, only for him to pull away and leave me standing there alone. ____ !!Warning!!

Ashes of Flesh, Dust of Bone, Weight of the Mighty Carried all Alone
Have you ever felt like you're the only one who cares? That the kindness you feel and wish to share is not what those around you, or the world around you wants? Have you ever felt so alone because you're so different, especially in mind? Like an outcast, ostracized for believing where others demand you submit to nihilism, subjugation, and cruelty? To be so full of and see so much of light, where those around you only chose to see darkness. And you're left feeling as if your life, your faith, your empathy, and your being are worthless? Well, hopefully this short story will give you an answer/reason as to why being you; different, kind, and/or faithful, are NEVER worthless and will NEVER be pointless. No matter how many scorn you, or how fierce nature may blow over you. Even if you may be alone, know that your faith and/or philosophy is NEVER alone; or for naught.Complete

4am Knows All My Secrets
Dear Reader, "Nothing in this life lasts forever. Everything is temporary. Leaves that used to make us smile in the spring will soon fall down and we will forget that once, maybe long or maybe not a long time ago, we used to be happy. But this story isn't about what makes us sad. Because the winter will pass and we will see those spring leaves come alive again. And we will smile again. Just like we did many many times before. But then again, what is it about? Guess we'll have to figure it out together. Or I'll let you know once I'm back." She spent her life questioning her worth and her place in this world. Never knowing what to expect or what to hope for. Lost and confused, she wandered down the streets. They all looked the same. The streets, the buildings, parks, rivers, stations. They all looked the same. She was losing hope. She was losing everything. And then she woke up. Nowhere. To anyone, anywhere, any time. Written mostly in a form of diary, it's the story anyone can relate to. It sets no boundaries for age, race, religion or anything in between. The person in the story has no name or appearance. It's up to everyone's individual imagination. It can be you, your best friend, your neighbour or someone you've never met before. It's all up to the reader. This book shows that every single one of us is different. But we all have something in common. You're never alone. Or are you? Sincerely,Complete
Found Again 🌙
After five years of silence, Nila wasn't expecting to see Aarav again-especially not in the same office corridor where their story had once quietly unraveled. She had learned to bury her feelings, to live with the echoes of love that never got to grow. But fate has its own rhythm. From shared glances to shared coffee, from unsent letters to late-night conversations, Nila and Aarav begin to rewrite what was lost. Not with grand declarations, but with the slow, aching honesty of people who've been broken-and are now brave enough to hold each other gently. This is not a love story about fireworks. It's about returning. About staying. About the quiet kind of love that asks nothing but presence... and gives everything in return. A story of second chances, soft tension, and the love that waited.Complete
To You,
I just wanted to feel as if someone like you exists. You were the only one who cared enough to talk to me. The only one kind enough to try to get me to say more than two words. The only one who cared enough to keep me around, I know that by the time I give you this, you won't know where I am until the end. If you skip it all, if you ignore it, or if you read it before I leave just know that nonetheless, I wanted to say thank you. There's just some things in life, I need to get off my chest and doing this, I feel like I could have someone to tell. I know it's not the same as telling you in person but, to me, this means a hell of a lot more.Complete

When I Met You {English}
"You disappoint me... What do you even see in him?" "Aren't you tired of this already?! If you want to pick a fight, fight me, not him. Got it??" What he did enraged me so much that I threw my hardest punch at his face, forcing his head to snap to the side. "If you ever touch him again--" before I could finish my sentence, he grabbed my arm and slammed me against the wall. "If I touch him again, what?!" he shouted, his face inches from mine, as I trembled with rage. "Got a big crush on the kid, huh?!" he exploded, and I could feel the weight of everyone's eyes on us. ~~ Have you ever wondered how different your life would be if you changed just the smallest of your actions? Because that's what I do. I wonder how my life would be now if I hadn't made that tiny mistake in the schoolyard. Everything started then. When I met you, twelve years ago...
