Across the Lane
As my first story, this work is an exploration of love, longing, and the mysteries hidden within ordinary lives. It follows the journey of an orphan boy whose world changes when his curiosity draws him to a bungalow across the lane-an unsettling place where appearances are deceptive. Through his story, I aim to reflect on how perception shapes reality, and how hope and connection can emerge even in the most uncertain shadows.
Dumplzzz in the shadows
"Curiosity was my crime. Adventure became my punishment." I was just another restless girl, bored in my own room, chasing answers to questions no one dared to ask. One click, one step, one wrong turn-and suddenly the shadows weren't just shadows anymore. Behind locked doors and secret waters, I found things the world swears don't exist: power, danger, and beings who should have stayed in myths. Now, I'm tangled in secrets too heavy to escape, guided by a voice I shouldn't trust but can't live without. Some doors should never be opened. But I already did.
The World Under
" The world is not ours alone. Beneath our footsteps lie stories older than stone, and voices that never stopped speaking. Not every shadow belongs to light, and not every silence is empty. The earth is crowded with forgotten beings, dwelling where our eyes cannot reach. They are not lost- they wait. And when we step too far, the door between worlds opens, and what was hidden remembers us."
Just a Nobody
Have you ever felt like a nobody? In a world where everyone uses everyone to feel seen, Solenne has made -race with invisibility. She believes connection is a transaction... until the small, ordinary intersections of her life begin to prove her wrong. Each stranger, each fleeting friendship, each fragile act of kindness starts to blur the line between use and understanding. Between ego and empathy. Between being a nobody, and becoming a somebody... not through fame or perfection, but through presence. This story is about the quiet evolution of a woman who learns that even the unseen leave a ripples. About the beauty of being known in piece. About love that starts, simply, with being noticed.Complete
Poisonous Fangs
Humanity: The state of being born or categorized a human. What a...laughable term. What does it really mean to be human? Every person in the entire world; they all have their own ideals and opinions on such a matter. And no matter who you ask; the opinions always have many colorful and vibrant variants. He no longer cared for such flimsy opinions. No longer cared for how others would see him for his decisions. They called him hero; then they left him to rot and to die. He would not pander to their...tender sensibilities. Even if that made him inhuman.Complete
