"There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside of you" 「Maya Angelou, 'I Know Why The Caged Birds Sings' 」
When an idea begins to form, and your mind starts to whir with all the possibilities, that is when stories are created. They exist eternally in that magical realm where anything can happen. It is the place where ideas take root and imagination begins to fly. It is the place where the words written on paper are a more powerful ally than any kingdom, or army in existence. And it began with a thought. It shall end with a thought.
That is what this world is. This is the place 'Beyond the Realm of Words.'

Short stories that seep into my imagination and take on a life of their own.

Worlds Apart: Stories of Edea
(STILL BEING WRITTEN) In the beginning, there was only one world. Our world. Our home. But everything changed when the Maker vanished. With their absence, our world unraveled. Order crumbled, and destruction ensued. Without guidance, without hope, chaos reigned. And so, to salvage what remained and to prevent us from ripping each other apart, the realms were torn apart-separated for our survival. As long as the World Tree stood, our worlds coexisted in harmony, distant yet connected. But nothing in this universe lasts forever. The World Tree is dying. Its roots are withering, its strength is fading, and the fruits of creation are disappearing. The Collide is coming, and there is nothing we can do to stop it. But yet, even as fate looms over us, we refuse to surrender. This is our home-our heaven and our hell. We will not stand by and watch it fade. We will fight. We will endure. Because no matter what, our world is not yet lost...Complete

WHERE THE HUMANS HOWL
You must be familiar with wolves' howls but I want to show you the world where humans howl. Pain is a fundamental part of the human experience, which means that it's a fundamental part of storytelling. It's the root of some of our best metaphors, our most elegant writing. Characters in fiction suffer, because their suffering mirrors our own. Some of this collection of short stories explore themes of catastrophe, death and despair, while others talk of love and longing, with them all being highly complimented by readers with emotive writing skills. In the short story 'Donkey-Man', we read about a man who lived all his life among animals and writer, as a child, is surprised to know that he was a human. In the story "In Search of God' we meet a character who is confused by different religious sect and defines God in his own simple way. The villagers, who claim the real follower of God, don't allow him to live in the village, but he is welcomed by God. In the story, "The Last Storyteller", the narrator is at odds with a changing world. Through his three windows, he is offered glimpses of beauty and joy, but, alas, reality intrudes. On the way to capturing his tale, the windows show him the grace of the blue bird who sings in his garden, the joy of the young boys playing cricket by the graveyard and lastly, the sadness of a mysterious figure, the Last Storyteller, whose livelihood is as endangered as that of the rare bird's. Although some of these stories do deal with rather gloomy thoughts of life, they are all written in such a way that the stories told are interesting to read and really do make you think. This collection of short stories is definitely an interesting read with some of the questions not always being fully answered. And with many of the stories covering such dark subjects you will truly find it a hard book to put down.Complete

Poems that describe what's within ... I love books. I adore everything about them. I love the feel of the pages on my fingertips. They are light enough to carry, yet so heavy with worlds and ideas. I love the sound of the pages flicking against my fingers. Print against fingerprints. Books make people quiet, yet they are so loud. - Nnedi Okorafor Written by me . Some Collabs .

Inside Our Head | NEW STORY
This is not just a story. It is a collection of silent battles. Inside these chapters are different minds, different struggles, and different experiences that people often fail to see or understand. Each story opens a small window into lives affected by mental health conditions, emotional pain, and the weight of being misunderstood by society. From obsessive thoughts that refuse to stop, to overwhelming anxiety, to emotions that feel too heavy to carry alone, each chapter shows how different people fight battles that are invisible to others. Some are aware of what they are going through but cannot simply "stop." Some try to function normally while their minds are in constant conflict. Some are judged, ignored, or misunderstood by the world around them. This book does not exist to label people. It exists to humanize them. Because behind every behavior that others may not understand, there is a person trying their best to survive their own mind. And maybe, in reading these stories, we learn to see them a little more clearly. Not as broken. Not as different. But as human.Complete
