The Fading

Experts call it Maledictio Mortis Prolongatae,
Doctors call it in it's medical term, The PDP,
The Prolonged Death Phenomenon-but everyone else just calls it The Fading.
A palliative-care specialist at a fancy university states that dying is a process of losing our senses in a specific order as our body begins to shut down.
From hunger and thirst.
To taste and smell.
To sight.
To touch.
And finally, hearing.
God forbid someone opened another Pandora's Box, or maybe the universe just thought we hadn't suffered enough, but the process of dying became longer. Slower. A rare phenomenon.
They say it occurs to 1 in every 1, 755,000 people.
Unlikely, but not impossible.

Ikaw at Linggo

Linggo ang araw ng pahinga, ngunit para kay Ely at Noah, ito rin ang araw ng kanilang pinakamatamis na alaala-at pinakamalalim na sakit. Sa bawat yakap, halik, at awitin, ipinaglaban nila ang pag-ibig na walang kasiguraduhan. Ngunit paano kung dumating ang Linggong hindi na magising ang taong mahal mo? Ito ang kwento ng isang pag-ibig na tumibok nang higit pa sa oras-isang Linggong iniwan, habang-buhay na minahal.Complete
Beneath The Surface
I'm falling... Falling, helplessly and inevitably; completely at the mercy of the forces dragging me down. Having to trust in an entity's blind intentions and praying to God that they won't let me hit the ground. It's an incredible and horrifying feeling. A feeling that I live for. And I have realized that having something to live for makes you all the more scared of dying. (Constant uploads, and even more editing to older uploads)Complete
Oblivion
Vitium Cavum. Or, the better known 'Hollow Disease'. Five years ago, in an alternate universe, scientists were on the verge of creating the immortality drug. Only, somehow, it escaped in the early stages of development, when everyone was working to rid of all the negative side effects. Those 'side effects' practically rip a person's soul away from them. Hence the name 'Hollow' Disease, because this virus makes whoever is affected an empty shell with no soul. Now, only a handful of people around the world are currently unaffected by this disease. Some of them had their families torn apart, some lost their friends, and some lost the person they were in love with. And that's where our story begins; in the year 2019, five years after Hollow Disease nearly destroyed the entire world. [Warnings: death, blood, violence, attempted suicide, suicidal thoughts, mentions of stillbirth, and other mature themes]Complete![Coma [YiZhan FanFiction] ✔️](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/213982639-256-k790923.jpg)

Twenty years of living like being in a coma. It's like a night that never ends. Silent screaming. Lonely emptiness. What if suddenly someone opens the door for you and you can see into the light? As always, this is pure fan fiction and has nothing to do with reality. Everything originates from my crazy fantasy. No further publication without my permission!Complete

⚠️ I will only put a trigger Warning in the description, this story involves mentions of suicide, depression, various mental disorders, sexual assault and lots more to cover, please remember this when reading!

The Silent Host (boyxboy OHSHC)
Cover by siimplyisaac Words. Everyone takes them for granted, using them non-stop, screaming them, laughing them, blurting them. But what about when they're dying? Are they strong enough to scream out their last words? To laugh out their final sentence? To blurt out the last thing people will remember of them? Your dying words mean everything. It's what people remember you saying last and it shouldn't be something stupid which if you get used to saying stupid things, I believe you won't have any control of what you say when you die. So words are valuable, and I, James Hunter, won't waste them. Of course I'll speak when it's important but I don't think I'll speak for anything other than that. But I'm dying and I don't want to be, but the choice isn't mine to make. My body- my heart has made up its mind, I'm going to die, I just have to accepting it. And if I'm going to die, I want to be remembered, I want them to visible see my face, feel my touch and hear my voice from my final hours of living. I want my family to know everything I've been holding in and I want my friends to remember me as strong. So what I'm going to die? Everyone does at one point. I'll just die sooner than expected and medication won't do anything to stop it, only postpone it and I don't want it postponed, when I'm ready... I'm ready and I want my heart to be on the same page as I am.Complete

"A mate will love you and only you. No other can compare to you and he or she will treasure you above all and everything in the world," mommy says to me as she kissed my forehead. I sighed dreamily.
