In Room 309, people learn how to survive each other's pain.
Elise Valencia is dying, and everyone around her seems to speak softer because of it.
Everyone except Matteo Reyes, the chaotic night shift cleaner who steals hospital sunflowers, breaks rules constantly, and refuses to treat her like she's already gone.
What begins as irritation slowly becomes something deeper inside the oncology ward, where laughter feels rebellious, love becomes complicated, and strangers leave permanent marks on one another's lives.

Finding My Ways
Alizeh D'Souza is a young woman trying to find balance in the chaos of her life. A dedicated intern in Cost and Management Accounting (CMA), she's buried under deadlines and the high expectations of her family. Her once-passionate love for dancing is now a distant memory as she struggles to live up to the demands of her career. Amidst this whirlwind, Alizeh reconnects with Vikram Ahuja, a childhood friend, whose carefree spirit brings a refreshing light into her overworked life. Their nightly conversations become a source of comfort and escape for Alizeh. Despite the exhaustion from her hectic schedule, she finds herself looking forward to their chats-filled with playful banter, teasing, and heartfelt confessions-which slowly help her rediscover parts of herself she thought she'd lost. As they share their thoughts, Vikram's wit and warmth pull Alizeh out of her shell, allowing her to open up about her insecurities and the pressures she feels. With each conversation, Vikram encourages her to live for herself, not just for others. Their growing bond leads to a spontaneous hiking trip, where Alizeh begins to rediscover joy in life, nature, and even in the idea of love. Finding My Way is a story about reconnecting with your passions, embracing vulnerability, and the beauty of rediscovering yourself through unexpected friendships. Through their conversations and moments shared together, Alizeh learns that sometimes, the journey to finding your true self starts with a simple, honest connection. Vikram: Let me guess. You're home, lying in bed, staring at your phone, wondering when I'll text you. She rolled her eyes, smiling as she typed back. Alizeh: Wrong. I just got home after a 12-hour day at work. Some of us have real jobs, you know. Vikram: Ah, yes, the life of a corporate minion. How's that working out for you? Still drowning in Excel sheets? Alizeh: Pretty much. But it's not just Excel sheets. I've been shadowing senior consultants, attending client.Complete

The book cover was done by a Wattpad user and a friend, @AWFrasier. Thank you for designing my cover (again! :)) and at such a lightning speed! Tiny Tales is ONLY available on Wattpad.
