The forest remembers everything.
In the quiet town of Ashwood, people don't vanish without reason. They fade-slowly, silently-leaving behind distorted photographs, half-written reports, and unanswered questions.
When eighteen-year-old Evan Hale captures something impossible on his phone camera, he becomes trapped in a nightmare where reality bends and the act of being watched is just as dangerous as watching back. As sleepless nights turn into paranoia and his friends begin to disappear, Evan uncovers a terrifying truth buried deep within the town's forgotten archives.
There is a presence in the forest.
It does not run.
It does not hunt.
It waits.
The Man Between Trees is a chilling psychological horror novella inspired by urban legends, exploring fear, obsession, and the thin boundary between observation and existence. Dark, atmospheric, and unsettling, this story lingers long after the final page.

Falsely Accused (Re:Written)
Ryosuke Yamamoto was falsely accused of assaulting a woman and has lost everyone dear to him. His older sister Kaede and younger sister Nagisa completely rejected him, and his father gave up on him. He became the target of slander at school, lost the trust of the student body president, and was looked upon with contempt by his classmates. After a year of such days, Ryosuke's false accusation is proven.

FORBIDDEN Addiction
لم يكن بيننا سوى البغض المحض، جدران باردة تحصرنا في بيت واحد، وعينان تقدحان شرر التحدي في كل لقاء. كان يعتقد أن بنيته الطاغية وسلطته المعهودة ستجعلني أنحني، وكنت أقسم أن كبريائي لن يمسه انكسار. لم نكن نعلم أن تلك الصفقة السرية التي عقدناها خلف الأبواب المغلقة من أجل المال، ستتحول إلى قيد أبدي.. وأن الأنفاس الزائفة أمام كاميرات المعجبين ستصبح إدماناً حقيقياً يحرق أجسادنا بهوس لا مفر منه "إذا نظر إليك أي كائن غيري.. سأحرق هذا العالم بمن فيه"
