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.All Rights Reserved

The Shadows Between Us (Book 1) by AnnaReynolds88

They said the world ended quietly. It didn't. It shattered, loud, violent, and full of screaming skies and black-eyed monsters that tore through everything we thought was safe. Now, safety is a bunker deep underground. Love is a risk. Trust is earned in blood. And survival means becoming someone you swore you'd never be. I wasn't supposed to fall for him. He's my protector. My commander. My tether to something strong in a world unraveling. I'm younger, weaker, haunted by what l've lost and yet when he looks at me, it feels like I've already been chosen.

I WILL FOLLOW YOU TO THE ENDS OF THE WORLD. by Dennis001Alex

My sister's dead boyfriend won't stay buried. Every midnight, the phone rings. His voice seeps through the line, begging her to join him in the grave. While she teeters on the edge, I step into the shadows-pale, voiceless, carrying secrets too heavy for the living. And when I discover a way to slip between the world of the living and the silence of the dead, the real question isn't just whether I can save her... but whether I can make it back at all.

Forgotten by BigDaddySweets

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.

Grey II - Ghosts by TierneyDanae

Where do you go after everything falls apart? Do you retreat to the life you hated or stumble forward into the unknown? After the Clan crumbles beneath the weight of secrets and lies, each must decide which path to take. Kael and Nevaeh choose ice, though in differing ways, one hard and one numbing. James chooses the self-destruction of fire, the only way he's ever known. And Jordan, she chooses shadows, letting herself fade away completely... But there is safety in numbers and danger in isolation, even for monsters. And with ghosts from their past snapping at their heels, can they survive on their own? » ✦ « Book II sees new allies, new foes, and the difference between hate and hurt. Let's just hope our lovely mains learn that difference before it's too late 💀 » ✦ « #2 in Angel Romance #3 in Demonology #11 in Thriller #Mature, 18+ for all the reasons. Not a YA novel (again). **Due to disturbing themes, violence, depression, language, and literally everything else, this is not for the kids. Ghosts is darker than Intentions. But you need to live in the dark to appreciate the light...or at least, the lighter grays 🖤🖤

Loved a dying mind by todo-shoto

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.

The Silence of Ashes by Errorrrss

⚠️ 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.

NO SAFE WORD LEFT by RykerverseStudios

NO SAFE WORD LEFT A standalone aftermath novel by Ash Ryker Some endings free you. Some endings follow you. This one waits in the dark and breathes with you until you come back. They said walking away was survival. They were wrong. Survival is what happens after you return. This isn't about love anymore. It's about the damage that still wants to touch you.

What If I Was Nothing by FearghalLorcan

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.
