I died in the shower with Dollar General conditioner in my hair. 
Except I didn't. Not really. Now, I'm just... coming loose.
One slip, and now I'm constantly falling out of my body, haunting my own apartment, and watching my life unravel. My boss thinks I'm unstable. My doctor thinks it's narcolepsy.  My best friend thinks I'm ghosting her.
They're all wrong.
The truth is, the astral plane is real. And it's consuming me.

Something beautiful is waiting for me in the dark. His name is Caelum, and he says he's here to keep me safe.  He says he's my protector.
But in this world, light attracts everything. The shadows are watching. They're hungry. 
And I'm starting to think the beautiful lie... ...is just a parasite with a pretty face.All Rights Reserved

The Blood Order by esthersteel_

"Are you coming to bed firefly?" He says to me laying his hands over my waist joining me in looking over the city. "I want to look out for a little longer if that is alright?" I mumble hoping that he heard me anyways, I wasn't ready to walk into that bedroom, and I don't think I ever would be. "Of course, I'll be getting ready for bed, come in whenever you are ready." He says confidently and walks away leaving my waist cold something for which I am grateful. Especially when my mind burns with other more dangerous thoughts. The warmth that forever lingers in the air, never burning the skin, but always reminding about what is around us. I force air into my lungs feeling the unexpected warmth fill me. He stands in the room watching me even though he said he was getting ready for bed. He is worried about me, about me jumping. I have contemplated it I will admit, but he would stop me before I fell even two feet. I was stuck, and no one could save me. Not even myself, my fucking weak self. His presence is demanding no matter where we are, but right now I could sense everything about him, and I try to suppress the unwanted feelings that curl right under my skin. "Firefly? About done?" He calls out and I release my hand from the guard rail not realizing that as I looked at the lights that covered the shining city with the falling fire in the background that my subconscious was thinking about how nice it would be... how relieving it would be... to just fall. True freedom. I take a step back and wrap my hands together turning around to a fully clothed unchanged man and nod once. I could see the fear in his eyes that I would, he knows if he gave me the chance... I wasn't ready for this, but I had to survive. No matter what. Highest Ranks: #17 In Romance #5 in Soulmates

Awakening by BarbaraPy

This story was previously known as "The Awakening". ~*~ "One... two... three... one... two... three... a million... is that number right?" A figure less voice echoed. "Hello? Who's there?" Caliope asked, focusing on that voice. "One... two... who? A million... a billion... no, it's more... a legion..." Silence. She had seen too many horror movies and heard too many stories about that single word to overpass its meaning. The voice went quiet, yet she was still unable to see where it came from. She rubbed her eyes and all she could see around her was a thick path in a jungle-like scene. She didn't remember how she got there, but she knew it was for something important. Her eyes focused on the far end of the path and all she could see were more trees. She turned to the opposite side and found just the same. "One... two... billions... but always back at one..." the voice resumed it's counting. "Where are you? Who are you?" ~*~ -Her name is Caliope, and when she was a young girl, she never believed in happy endings. For her, there was nothing more than what you see in front of you. All she needed was her best friend Vanessa. Her background is very simple; a foster child with foster parents that were everything but warm and caring. Regardless of that, she became a smart and responsible young woman, ready for whatever came her way. At least that is what she thought. Her new job interview changed her life. It changed everything she ever believed in, and what she thought it was real. Her new boss is an amazing woman who has a son, something different from what he is made out to be. As she discovers the hidden truth about her boss and her son, she has to prepare herself for a whole new world that will unfold to her. ~*~ Intro collaboration with my loyal reader @GabrielleCarden Original Picture from the cover made by Marcus J. Ranum ~*~ This story has erotic scenes, religious perspectives, and judgment. Be warned and read at your own risk.

The Final Evaluation by Sachiraaa1

I fought my way to AIR 50. I thought I earned my future. Instead, I earned my place in this nightmare. No teachers. No invigilators. No one to explain why we've been dragged to a rotting, abandoned center in the middle of nowhere. A voice tells us one thing: Survive. Or vanish. By the time the sun should have risen, half of them were already gone. Some killed. Some missing. Some... not even human anymore. Now there's only six of us left. The walls breathe. The shadows whisper. The ground itself feels alive beneath our feet. They said this was just a test. But what are we being tested for? And why does this place seem more interested in me than anyone else? We thought surviving six hours was hell. But the real nightmare is what comes after. Because no one leaves this place untouched. And some things... follow you home. ➽───────────────❥ 🎞️ Themes For Mood: • Abandonment • Isolation • Psychological breakdown • Paranoia • Survival horror • Hauntings (but more mental than ghostly at first) • Trust breaking down • Secrets clawing their way out

the cold within by wyssed

I sit by the fire for hours. I stare at the faint image of you sitting on the other side. You're as surreal as a lily. I can still smell you. I can still hear you. I can almost feel you. I live with people that are foreign to me. They do not remember you. They don't recognize your name. They don't think of you or agonize in your absence the way I do. I hate them all. I hate this void. But, I tell myself it'll be fine. You'll return to me anytime now. I know you're inching closer. And when you're back, you'll thaw the ice within me again.

The Reaper Saga [Book 1-3] by xxKatVxx

[BUNDLE] BOOK 1: There's a reason buried things should always stay buried. For better or for worse. To have and to hold a demon for eternity. She says demons haunt the night, inflecting everything in their path. But where I come from demons don't just lurk around the shadows. They breed in your head. Feasting on your soul until you cease to exist. And, mine just woke up infested in wicked lies. Till death do us apart, little soul. BOOK 2: Girls like them are expected to dance to the tune of evil. To smile with the taste of souls in their veins and vengeance in their hearts. To feed the ghosts and the monsters within them. Discarded by the world and hidden in a maze of twisted creatures, I'm barely holding into my sanity, trapped between the past and the present. Between good and evil. Until one day I no longer recognize myself or them. He says he can see beyond the evil that I am. But it's not him that my madness prevails for or HIM. Because I'm starting to hear their tune, dancing to destruction and chaos. BOOK 3: There's a reason buried things should always stay buried. Like my mistakes. Your past. Now the grave is open and corpses are crawling out. Corpses inflicted with lies and betrayals. Corpses that you pull the strings of, corpses that even Hell is afraid to take. You see, little soul, you think that makes you the monster in our story. But you forgot me. You forgot my promise. Our story might have ended with till death do us apart. But even death has a shadow to lose.

Out Of Control by Ribellebella

[18+] Book Two of Control "...And I think I had to go through hell just to reach the top not knowing what prize was meeting me up there."

The Cocooned Soul (A Series of Souls Saga: Arc 1) by authorbnoelle

Voices have followed me all my life... and now I know they're real. All I want is for tonight's birthday celebration to go smoothly for my best friend Chloe. Horror movies, popcorn, laughs-everything she loves. I've even agreed to a midnight seance with a spirit board, just to keep things peaceful. It doesn't matter that I don't know any of the other guests or that socializing makes me want to disappear. As long as Chloe's happy, I can make it through the night. But just as the party starts, I hear it-an icy voice whispering threats into my mind. The others don't notice anything, and I can't risk drawing attention to myself. I try to pretend it's nothing, just like I always do. It's always been easier to avoid confrontation and keep the peace. Just pop a pill and hide my crazy behind a smile. These voices have haunted me for years. I can handle it. Then the pizza delivery guy hears it, too. Maybe I'm not as crazy as I've always thought. Now, with a dangerous spirit closing in and Chloe's life on the line, I have to make a choice. Stay in the background where it's safe, or step into a world where the dead are real and I'm not sure if I can keep anyone safe. Before the phantom takes what he wants: Y-O-U
