Collapse is a short story based on a single theme: the collapse of the human mind. How a few significant events in life can lead you to a fall from which you can only escape. That's what this book is about. Is it a psychological book? Most likely yes, but I don't necessarily consider it psychological. Is it a book about crime? I can say with certainty that it is, so you've come to the right place. For me, this novella was an exploration of the darkness hidden in the human mind and the moral limits of those who try to bring justice to a seemingly hopeless world. The story explores obsession, guilt, the curse of loss, and the question: how far can someone go for justice without becoming exactly what they hate? I hope that the reader will feel not only the tension, but also the moral weight of each step the main character takes, as it is written in the first person.

Glassed Destiny
He finally found the one. The one that he had given up on finding at such an early age, he finally found the person who could complete him. Now he just had to make sure he could keep her safe. He had found her in the worst possible place: right in the middle of a case. "By the way," his partner pulled him out of his thoughts. He surprised him by giving him a mischievous smirk. "That growl? 10/10 in my book. Very spooky. 9/10 on Rotten Tomatoes for Plot and Suspense. Of course, one point was taken away for doing it near humans, a woman, nonetheless. But, other than that, loved it." He had to take a deep breath for that. He stopped walking and glared at the man. "You know," he started. "One of these days you're going to wind up dead because of that mouth." "From you?" "Possibly." "Good," that smirk never left his face. "You have no idea how annoying it is being immortal." "Can't be worse than being friends with one," he rolled his eyes and continued his walk. As much as he was excited to find his love, he couldn't help but be concerned for the woman. She was a gypsy without a past or a family. And it seemed like there was more than just him looking for her. But who was it? And why? Why was she trapped in that glass? Detective Jim Magnar didn't know the answer to that. But he had a feeling that this was just the start to something much grander than a simple call on the police radio. It was a destiny trapped in glass. And now he had to figure out where it was leading him. * A mystery romance with a supernatural twist! Come and join this detective's ragtag group of friends and coworkers as he deciphers who is after the love of his life! Will he be able to win her over? Completed 07/31/23Complete
Behind the Screen
The book follows a protagonist whose mind begins to unravel as they are plagued by eerie occurrences that blur the line between reality and delusion. It begins with subtle shifts-a feeling of being watched, strange reflections, whispers at the edges of perception-but as the story unfolds, these sensations grow more intense and impossible to ignore. The protagonist starts questioning their own sanity, struggling to differentiate between what's real and what's in their head. Is someone-or something-watching them, or are they simply losing their grip on reality? As they spiral deeper into paranoia, the boundaries of their own identity begin to fracture, and they realize they may not be the only one in control of their mind. With each passing day, the tension grows, and the truth becomes harder to discern. The story keeps readers on edge, with unreliable narration and distorted imagery that makes them question everything. As the protagonist's mental state deteriorates, the lines between the observer and the observed blur, and the final revelation leaves the reader wondering if they're trapped in this madness alongside the character. A chilling psychological thriller, this book explores the nature of reality, self-awareness, and the terrifying idea that what you think you know may be nothing more than a reflection of something far darker.Complete

CONSTANTINE ( life of a masked person )
Many people walk through life never truly understanding the person behind the mask. Is it a case of multiple personalities? A carefully faked persona? Or simply a survival tactic to blend in, to be accepted? This book was written to shed light on the unseen struggles of a "masked" individual, a person who had to adjust to unfamiliar environments, not out of choice, but necessity. It's based on personal experience, shaped by moments of silence, forced smiles, and quiet battles. Behind the laughter was pain. Behind the confidence was fear. And behind the mask was someone longing to be understood. People often say, "Life goes on." But how can one truly move forward when they must constantly change who they are just to fit in? This is more than just a story. It's a journey of identity, resilience, and the silent war many fight behind the scenes. Through these pages, may you come to understand the masked and maybe even recognize the mask you wear, too.Complete

Finding You in the Dark
I was a victim of a serial killer-the only one who made it out alive. I was kidnapped when I was 19. Kept in a small, suffocating room with no light, no sense of time, no hope. My only companions were the screeching of rats and the silence that gnawed at my sanity slowly. I tried to escape-of course I did. But the room offered nothing. No tools, no weak points. Nothing. My captor knew this. He made sure of it. So I stopped hoping for freedom. I knew how this story would end. And when I dreamed, it was of light and voices-a cruel trick of my mind. Until one day, the dream felt different.Complete
