The Price of Innocence, de TshepisoTsona4

"Some ghosts don't haunt to scare you. They haunt to remind you what you lost." Thandi's innocence echoed in every memory she shared with her sister. She's accepted the truth - her sister is gone, and nothing can change that. But everything shatters the moment she sees her again. Alive. Smiling. Real. Now caught between the sister she loves and the man she's come to care for, Thandi must make an impossible choice - one that will teach her that even innocence comes with a price. In a world of power, secrets, and ruthless ambition, every choice has consequences. Loyalties will be tested, hearts will be broken, and betrayal lurks in the most unexpected places. Survival is only the beginning; when nothing is as it seems, even the purest hearts cast the darkest shadows.

The Professor's Captive -Book 1, de DjMaine0

Trapped in an estate where obedience is measured and desire is weaponized, DJ wasn't chosen, she was claimed. Thrown into a world of brutal lessons and psychological games, she finds herself tangled with four dangerously magnetic men. Each man pushes her limits, and each one reveals just how complicated survival can be. Because some girls don't need saving. They just need room to burn. Trigger Warning: This is a dark psychological story that dives deep into themes of captivity, control, and trauma. It includes mature content, psychological manipulation, past abuse, and intense power dynamics. There are also references to non-consensual situations and emotional/mental distress. Please take care while reading - this story isn't for everyone.

Echoes of Survival: Book of Poems, de BabyBat_69

Embrace the journey of a survivor through the pages of this powerful collection of poems. With each poem, you will witness the author's journey of healing and overcoming trauma. Filled with raw emotions and hopeful reflections, this book is a reminder of the strength and resilience of the human spirit. It provides a space for those who have gone through similar experiences to find solace and power in their own journeys.

Things I Wasn't Supposed to Say: A Journal of Silent Battles and Unspoken Truths, de TheMantra

They told me to stay quiet. To smile, to endure, to bury the words that burned inside me. But silence is heavy. And sometimes the only way to survive is to write the things no one wants to hear. This book is a collection of truths-raw, tender, and unapologetically human. It speaks of invisible wounds, love that aches, hope that refuses to die, and the quiet rebellion of being yourself in a world that demands masks. If you've ever felt too much, stayed unheard, or carried a storm inside- these words are for you.

When The Lights Went Out, de shaiaiaia

A soul withdrawn from the world, finding comfort only in silence, carries a wound no light can reach. Shadows are safer than connection, and solitude becomes both refuge and prison. Into this darkness steps a spirit unbroken by blindness, one who chooses kindness even when life has offered only pain. Where others see loss, there is still light; where others turn bitter, there is still grace. A tale of contrasts, of wounds and wonder, of two hearts bound by fate yet destined to fall apart.

The Weight We Carry, de hagilyforever

Every heart holds a story, and every story leaves a weight behind. The Weight We Carry is a living collection - written in real time, in the middle of survival, burnout, healing, and trying again anyway. These poems come from the spaces between responsibilities: grocery aisles, late nights, applications, shifts, side hustles, and the quiet moments when everything finally catches up. This collection explores the ache of memory, the exhaustion of caring too much, the frustration of broken systems, and the complicated reality of choosing to help when it costs you something. There is grief here, and anger, and dark humor. There is healing, but it is not linear. Hope shows up when it can, but it doesn't pretend to fix everything. Through raw, unfiltered verses, The Weight We Carry holds space for the people who keep going without applause - the helpers, the burned out, the ones trying to build something better while still carrying their own survival on their backs. These poems are for anyone who has felt the weight of the world press down and kept moving anyway. Not because it was easy. But because stopping was never really an option.

The Shadow of Comparison, de AGR2808

"Growing up in someone else's shadow taught me one thing: finding myself was the hardest-and most beautiful-journey of all." School was supposed to be easy-a place to learn, laugh, and grow. But for her, it quickly became anything but simple. 🌿 Everyone around her seemed brighter, bolder, better. Every whispered compliment, every small success she didn't have, made her question herself. Slowly, the shadow of comparison began to follow her everywhere. Then college arrived-bigger, more dazzling, and full of surprises she never saw coming. Friendships that challenged her, choices that tested her, and moments that made her heart ache in ways she didn't expect. Could she navigate this new world without losing herself? From quiet school corridors to late-night reflections, from self-doubt to self-discovery, this story is about growing up, facing unexpected twists, and finding the courage to step out of the shadows. If you loved "The Goodbye We Never Said," you'll recognize the familiar struggles and heartfelt moments-and maybe even find yourself rooting for her as she learns to shine in her own light.

Those In The Dark, de SharayClever

Life is full of unexpected twists and turns that can take us to places we never thought possible. While the destination may not always be clear, it's the journey itself that makes life worth living. Come with me as we explore the unpredictable paths 8 individuals take and the challenges they face along the way. From triumphs to tribulations, we'll experience it all. Are you ready?

How To Harm People Without Harming Them; Book 1, de Ink2Verse

We all carry wounds that no one else can see - betrayals, lies, harsh words, or silent rejections that leave a mark deeper than any bruise. In those moments, the instinct is often to fight back, to hurt the ones who hurt us. But revenge rarely brings peace; it only ties us tighter to the people we want to escape. This book is not about revenge. It is about something far more powerful. To harm without harming means to take away the control that others once had over you - to silence cruelty without becoming cruel yourself, to rise so high that the pain no longer reaches you. What follows are principles, lessons, and stories about turning pain into power. Not through hatred, not through violence, but through strength, clarity, and quiet victories. This is the path of freedom. This is how you harm people without harming them.

SCP 2357-JM The lonely hero, de Breaks-Brains-STUDIO

This work was born from a real place of pain, isolation, and reflection. I haven't created content before because I wanted to build something meaningful, not just entertain. Some passages may be explicit, but each scene has a purpose: to show the invisible scars that society ignores. It's not gratuitous violence, it's memory. It's not morbid horror, it's a warning. There are no perfect heroes here, just broken humans who are still fighting. Thank you for reading something different.
