She was their only hope.  The sick and dying made their way to her doorstep every evening, and she carefully weaved their pain into her patchwork quilts.  Now her special gift could become a weapon of destruction, as decades of disease are used to exact revenge on an unfaithful lover.

Patchwork was originally written in 1986. When I decided to become a published author in 2014, I uploaded Patchwork first, just to test the water. It was an instant success! This short story will now be permanently free as a way for my new readers to sample my work.

"Abort it." "Excuse me ?" "Abort that thing inside of you!" He shouts in my face. I put my hands on his chest, trying to put some space between us. The man didn't even budge. "I'm not aborting my baby!" I feel strong hands wrap around my throat, and the next thing I know, I'm being lifted off the floor, fighting for air. "Listen here, you bitch you will abort that child, and if you don't, I'll personally kill you both myself. I'm a man of my word. Do not test me." He spat dead calm. Elora finds herself in a sticky position when her brother was in a terrible car accident, leading to an expensive medical bill that neither of them could afford. Her parents died when she was young, leaving her brother as her sole guardian. The two had been incredibly close over the years, and she had to find a way to help him in his current position. She had no choice but to sleep with a man she knew nothing about for money to cover the hospital bill, but later found out she was pregnant. The worst-case scenario is that the father wants nothing to do with her and the unborn child. After three years of guilt, pain, and regret, the two cross paths once more, and Elora struggles to make the right decisions as he was determined to be in their little girl's life.

"Cross-X" Origin of Leo Fincher [Creepypasta Backstory] by ForessFaction

This is the backstory to my Creepypasta OC named Leo Fincher or well, Cross-X. I spent a lot of time on this and I know it will probably never blow up but, I did have a lot of fun writing this and in hope of it giving someone joy of reading. This is the story of a schizophrenic boy slowly working his way down the cruel path to insanity. My instagram: @foressfactionn (old one was hacked) My Deviant Art: Eye-Dentity00 Editor's/ @Sea_Of_Light artist of the cover: sammyaart on Instagram ø NOTE: Leo is a small Creepypasta character concept that I wanted to put together for a while now, and now that I finally have him all planned out, in hope that his story will get somewhere in the community. He is an OC I had my heart on for a while now. SIDE NOTE: there will be grammar mistakes and miss-spellings. No matter how much I edit it I find more. Bare with me here this is not the final copy anyways as I will edit it all eventually. This is just being posted here so those who want to read it early and easier can do so. NOTE: I also am aware that just making a murderer character with a tragic story and naming it as a Creepypasta is quite cliché, but I do however like the concept of it, and wanted to make my own. As I know, Creepypastas are horror stories and this however may not be a horror story, and more of a thriller, i'd still like to label it as into the horror community. "Upon losing his birth parents who manipulated him to think they were all he ever was going to have, moving into his side family who turned out to have dark secrets, and of course his new public school life to top it all off." Rated R !TRIGGER WARNINGS! This story contains: Gore, Domestic Violence, Child abuse, Substance abuse, curse words, adult content, death. If you are under 13 then do not read, unless you are mature enough to handle it. Yes it will be super long! But I'm trying to build worlds for my characters as i love doing that!

Kindled Hearts by Ingasian

{Featured @ Wattpad friends and family profile - Celebrating Black History Month reading list (Jan 2023), Featured @ Official Wattpad's Romance profile - new adult romance reading list (May - June 2021), Featured @ Ambassador's Africa, Featured @ writers without borders, Featured @ Wattpad's undiscovered stories (September 2021), Featured on Wattpad's Community Curator list @ Leeleekez, and also Featured on Wattpad's Community Curator List @ -jnicole_, Winner Contemporary Romantics Award @ContemporaryLit} ********** Two best friends, Kiki Rubiri and Nicole Wanjiru, know just how much blurry and mundane life could get in the streets of Nairobi. But when gusts of wind quake their pitiful selves, in form of new opportunities and of course men, Kiki and Nicole wonder why the painter suddenly decided upon subdued tints? ********** Nicole could distinctively make out the intonations of her heartbeat. It was no smooth asphalt, nor was it pleasing. It was entirely the opposite. She imagined a rugged chassis and deep-rooted crevices upon a rocky road. A dangerous road trip. She feared that her heart might give out. Her legs already were a noodly pair, holding onto her dress for support. It was clear that Nicole's mind was a soiled pool of water. It just wasn't functional anymore. Jane Austen would be disappointed, and so would her mother. Nicole was never the forward type of woman. She always thought of herself as demure as a sun's glow right before the full onset of night. Her wanton behavior today was a surprise on her side and she more than willingly blamed it on the cheery night and maybe on the way Wayne's minty breath hit her exposed clavicle like one inclement wind upon feeble branches of a tree.

Faceless Instincts by IronButterfly00

A storm brews so slowly that you hear your blood rush through your veins. How do you keep yourself sane when insanity is your best friend? Kiara is standing in the eye of the storm. Bloodied and bruised by daggers of the past; past that is not hers. What started as an unethical help for a patient has now turned into a frenzied search for a man who said goodbye to many, silently. The search soon turns into a chaotic hunt for truth that drags Kiara to the dark places she has never been to, places that hold the darkest secrets and, places that have only seen blood and heard screams. How will she reveal the truth when every loyalty of every person in her life is at the question? How will she fight and win alone when each of them is a possible betrayer?? How will she throw light on the truth when the deeper she digs the darker it gets? Her life is at the lowest stake. When she can't trust anyone, when every person she meets is a person of suspicion, it's on her to crawl through the graves and make the dead speak. Content and/or Trigger Warning: This story deals with topics such as psychological issues and mental disorders, their effects on the lives of people suffering from them, and the people around them, and the importance of getting and providing help. If you are dealing with any such issues please talk to a trusted person and ask for help. You are important. DISCLAIMER/CREDITS: None of the pictures used on the cover and chapters is owned by me.
