"Everything seemed to occur in slow motion. A sharp pain went through my chest, followed by another...it was the second shot which sent me down. The pain was unbearable. I had no power nor energy left within me. A series of emotions went through my head as I lay in a pool of my own blood..."

Ultraviolence by morganfm19

Things just come and go. Things pass by so fast you don't stop to look at what's happening. That's until you start to realize what's happening isn't right. ········· My husband isn't the person you think he is. It's all an act. He plays it well too. People would never believe me if I told them who he really is, they'd laugh. How he treats me isn't right, but I can't tell. Nobody would believe me. Nobody would help me. I fear what will happen if I tell. ········· "Please Elena just listen to me. Or face my consequences." Reece yells. I jump like a child that was just caught having more candy than their allowed. "Get in. Now!" He's right in my face, but I don't blink. I don't dare make a move, frightened for what's about to happen. But that's just the beginning. Cover done by: @purplepenguinn

BETWEEN THE BLOUSE AND THE SKIN. by manonandherbooks

Magdalena Nowak, 21 ans, étudie la médecine à Bristol. Le jour, elle enfile sa blouse blanche, prend des notes, tente de garder le contrôle. Le soir, elle pousse une autre porte, celle d'un club aux néons rouges, là où les noms sont faux, les regards flous, les corps disponibles. Là où elle vend le sien. Elle ne vient pas d'ici. Née en Angleterre de mère polonaise et de père britannique, elle grandit dans un foyer où la mort a laissé un vide que personne n'a su combler. Son père est parti trop tôt. Sa mère est là, fatiguée, absente à force de tenir. Magdalena, elle, porte tout. Et ne dit rien. Tout bascule quand elle rencontre Caleb Carter, son nouveau professeur de psychiatrie. Âgé de 31 ans, Caleb enseigne avec calme, précision, et un regard qui semble deviner ce que les autres cachent. Il vit seul, sans parents, avec un passé qu'il garde fermé à double tour. Il ne cherche pas à sauver. Elle ne cherche pas à être sauvée. Ce roman n'est pas une romance. C'est une plongée dans les zones grises de l'âme. Un récit psychologique, cru parfois, doux rarement, mais toujours humain. "Le jour, j'apprends à sauver des vies. La nuit, je loue la mienne à l'heure. Ce n'est pas une contradiction. C'est juste... le prix à payer pour tenir." Magdalena.

Indignant Heart by AnonMahya

"Born again, are you all dreaming? Wake up! Nicodemus was right! There's no way you can be born again! We're all already here, we were born! Now, we're gonna die! It's as simple as that." My face was hot and my hands were shaking. We're all gonna die... I pushed the memory back and shook my head, eyes angry and staring down the pastor. "Jesus fed his disciples and all the people around him a whole bunch of crap and they ate it." "Naomi!" "He didn't know what he was talking about because fictional characters in a story never do. They say the lines their authors give them because it's their job to. They don't exist. He never existed. You all should realize that sooner or later instead of wasting your time here, it's screwing with your minds." A pin could have dropped from the top floor and we would all hear it. "Then why don't you just leave." The cold words plummeted against my chest as quickly as they came. That was the pin drop, the end to all the excitement, but not. My heart hammered against my rib cage as the voice echoed through my ears, playing over and over. His words, they were insulting, they hurt, but I didn't show it. I turned and faced him and his eyes remained indifferent towards me. I froze in my seat. They were once this bright hazel, but they seemed darker now, furious. "If you feel that way, then leave." He spat. His jaw clicked at the end of his sentence. "Take your opinions, take your anger, take your indignant heart, and leave this church." ~~~ It never occurred to Naomi that He could have been real, that maybe a life of emotional hardship was the plan for her all along. If it had occurred, she never accepted the thought. She never accepted anything, but Carter. What was life? What was love? What was pain? What was happiness? What is God? Read the story of a broken girl who finds the truth through love.
