When the weight of unspoken regrets becomes too heavy, silence is all that remains. The Silence After is a haunting exploration of grief, choice, and the fragile line between surrender and survival.
Told through the fragmented thoughts of a narrator standing at the edge of their own unraveling, the story is both a confession and a farewell. Memories blur with visions of what could have been, and every page lingers on the razor-thin balance between despair and hope.
As Analiza's voice fades into stillness, readers are left with an aching question: what does it mean to truly lose-our past, our choices, or the futures we'll never live to see?
The Silence After is a dark, lyrical meditation on mortality, love, and the echoing quiet left behind when words are no longer enough.

Loved a dying mind
There are people who fill the room the moment they walk in. And then there are people who disappear even while they're sitting right in front of you. She was the latter. Wrapped in shadows, untouched by the noise of the world, she carried silence like it was stitched into her skin. Her eyes didn't blink, her voice was barely more than a whisper but every word clung like smoke, impossible to forget. I shouldn't have noticed her. I shouldn't have cared. But the moment I did, it was already too late. What begins as curiosity spirals into something heavier, a haunting intimacy that feels less like love and more like falling into a mirror you're afraid to shatter. A story not about romance or rescue, but about the weight of existence, and the echo of souls that never quite fit into the world around them. Loved a Dying Mind is a tale of fragile connections, of questions without answers, and of the kind of bond that burns itself into you long after the silence has swallowed everything else.Complete
The Silence of Ashes
⚠️ Warning: This story is religion-based and inspired by a true incident, with fictionalized scenes added for narrative effect. Some chapters contain disturbing horror imagery, including possession and exorcism, that may not be suitable for all readers. The Silence of Ashes follows a family haunted by midnight screams, twisted verses, and a presence that turns their home into a battlefield between faith and darkness. When a powerful marid claims their daughter, they must uncover buried secrets and confront a terror that threatens not just their family-but their entire village. This isn't just horror. It's a reflection of real fears, real faith, and the darkness that lingers when the unseen crosses into our world.
Forgotten
Some houses keep their silence. Some memories refuse to fade. And some stories are written whether we want them or not. Tom Richman never meant to stay in Blackridge. He was only passing through, another drifter with no plans and no place to land. But the town carries its own quiet gravity, and on the edge of it sits a house that seems to wait for him. Inside, Tom finds a diary whose words will not fade, whose ink feels too sharp, too alive. Drawn back night after night, Tom struggles to make sense of what he's found, and of the memories that rise in him as if called to the page. With each step, he moves deeper into the pull of a story that may not be entirely his to tell. This is a tale of memory, longing, and the weight of what lingers in forgotten places. Work in progress - chapters will be updated as they are written.
What If I Was Nothing?
They loved hard, fought harder, and broke quietly. Ryan and Hannah were supposed to last - the kind of love that survives slammed doors, sleepless nights, and promises said in the dark. But love, as they learned, doesn't always fade in one clean motion. Sometimes it unravels, thread by thread, until you wake up beside someone you no longer recognize. After years of trying to fix what was already gone, Hannah walked away. Ryan stayed - until the silence between them became too heavy to bear. Years later, Ryan has rebuilt his world. A new home. A wife who makes him laugh. A baby boy who carries his smile. He's finally found peace in the wreckage. But when Hannah reappears one morning, holding all the words she never said, both are forced to face the truth: love doesn't die - it changes. And sometimes, the hardest part isn't losing each other. It's learning to live with what remains.Complete
Positive
One word can hold a future. One silence can destroy it. And one truth can't be buried forever. In the quiet spaces between Riley and Aiden, a secret grows, threatening to consume them both. The more they try to hold on, the faster everything slips away. What begins as silence becomes suspicion. What begins as love becomes something far darker. Positive is a haunting story of love, silence, and the weight of the unspoken-where every word matters, and one word changes everything.Complete
