" Took inspiration from the popular game "No, I'm not a human" "
Temporary Tomorrows is the fragmented diary of a young woman trapped between survival and surrender in a world where days feel borrowed and reality bends. Each entry drifts between the ordinary and the grotesque: a breeze that lingers too long, a lover who might be a memory or an invention, food that tastes like grief. Her notebook becomes the only witness to her unraveling where affection curdles into dread, where love is both salvation and infection.
Her perception is fractured, unstable, stained by fever dreams and longing. She cannot trust what she sees, yet love keeps appearing in the margins sometimes tender, sometimes violent, sometimes as a phantom that both comforts and consumes her. Intimacy becomes a paradox: it keeps her alive even as it pulls her deeper into madness.
This is not just a story of endurance but of perception: how we cling to human connection when the world is indifferent, how intimacy can be both sacred and absurd, how tomorrow always promises hope yet never guarantees it.
Through fevered thoughts, contradictions, and surreal observations, the diary blurs romance and horror, asking whether meaning or even love itself can survive when truth cannot.

Until Our Bodies Remember
They thought they were done with each other. Years passed, lives changed-yet when they meet again, it feels like nothing ever did. The heart remembers. The glance betrays. The body refuses to forget. Now, face to face with the feelings they once ran from, they must ask: Was it ever truly love-or just a fleeting spark of youth? Memories can build a future... or tear them apart once more. A story of love's memory-and the spark that never dies.Complete
What you never asked
"I pretend I never loved you I will pretend it was never the easiest thing to do I will pretend that I'm over it Pretend I am over you But no one has a fucking clue And I'll throw my popcorn away. Hide my face. Wipe away my tears. I wasn't special enough And that is alright by me." ------------------------ At this point this collection of poems is almost like a diary. I always hated poetry. I like people who are direct and honest. And that's how I prefer literature. I believed myself to be bad at double meanings and metaphors and hated pretty words to cover up the ugly reality. Yet, I found myself being fascinated by it. I think it's the most vulnerable side of me. Wanting to communicate through a medium I think little of and yet understands me. It has no structure. It can be messy and yet beautiful. It's allowed to be unpolished. Wrong quotations. Or even lacking any. At this point in my life I feel like everything I thought was right to be wrong and so maybe something wrong could be right. You haven't even asked for this. And still you know it now.

After losing all of his memories, a man wakes up in an unknown world where nothing makes sense. All the natural laws are broken, the objects have no physical logic.

To escape this new universe and go back home, to remember what happened and why he is lost, to finally find others like him in a world that isolated him? Or will he be trapped there forever with nothing more than a diary? "Dear Diary: Faded Home" is a psychological thriller that is meant to show a reality, but also an illusion of the real world. While the story is pure fiction and it is not based on real events, it can also happen in the real world even if we are not aware. But after all, reality can also be an illusion.Complete
