The silence in the courtroom is dreadful, but what breaks it is the sound of my wife's laughter.
John David had wealth, a beautiful arranged marriage to his childhood friend, Rose, and a life of privilege. But as his old habits of drinking and gambling resurfaced, the perfection shattered.
When Rose spoke the name Frank, John didn't feel anger-he felt fear. The overwhelming, suffocating fear that his soulmate would leave him for a ghost from the past. A fear that drove him past sanity and straight into the dark, silent act of murder.
Now, as he stands before the judge, confessing his crime in meticulous detail, John is finally at peace. He took care of the problem. He ensured Rose would never leave him.
But why is Rose sitting in the back row, laughing? And why does he believe his dead wife asked him to call the police?
This is the chilling confession of a man who loved too much, and the ultimate descent into possessive madness.

I knew it soon after meeting her. She was different than other girls, and not just because she actually showed some interest in me. She was really different. I loved it. I loved her. But Abigail had a secret. Damian told me so, the first time I met him. I wasn't sure whether to believe him or not. He wasn't trustworthy. He wasn't nice. He was a terrifying figure, the embodiment of fear. But he was right. She had a secret. I'm sorry I keep repeating it. It's still hard to believe. How could somebody so gentle, nice, and loving be so... scary? That's the only word I knew to describe her after it all ended. Everything about her being was scary. Abigail was my life, I told myself. She was my everything. She left me with nothing. If she was my life, does that make this suicide?

Forgive Me
"In the eerie stillness of the day, In the shallows, of our home. I feel a presence all around me, In the silence, when I'm alone The silence is so deafening, The shadows on the wall. Hands of time slowly ticking, Only memories left that's all. Echo's of laughter of bygone days, Ghostly images of how life used to be. Sunlight shines through, In my darkest hours, Spirits of loved ones comfort me. The sound of children's voices, Echo's from my past. Now there's only a eerie silence, Just a void an emptiness. All that's left are dreams Of a time so long ago. Reality's so cold and dark, Without them don't you know. But I will always treasure, Those moments of days gone by. I promise to be strong, And hold my head up high. Then when twilight pays a call, I shed a silent tear. Thinking of our days together, And pretend that your still here." -Eerie Silence by ANN A Six Part Short StoryTerminé![Replaceable Timelines: Book 1.

Through My Eyes: A Story Left Unfinished
I never planned to write this. But life has a way of spilling onto pages when there's no one left to listen. This is not a perfect story-it's messy, full of half-finished thoughts, mistakes, and moments I wish I could forget. It's the laughter, the heartbreak, the silent nights, and the words I never said out loud. Some pages will feel like home. Others might hurt. But this is me-unfiltered, unapologetic, and real. This is My Diary of Life. 2nd Edition: The Things I Couldn't Say Out LoudTerminé
