Running Parallel:
The flood gates are open,
my heart is yet broken.
My mind is a place where memories are made and my trust fades.
I'm losing faith, I'm losing hope.
I may have the choosing to run, but I possess the resilience to stay.
My anger is hot and my fury is at play.
I am doing my best to keep the beast at bay.
You can run, you can hide.
You are not the last to have tried.
I will avenge the feelings that were lost.
You should have learned that I am not one to be crossed.
I forbade no more tears to fall.
I am not weak nor am I strong.
But I have the sense to stand tall,
be proud,
to not falter,
to be me,
and that's the way it should be.

Out of this World
Have you ever had a dream where you find yourself in an alien landscape with two humanoid monsters staring at you? Me neither. Unfortunately, it happened to me in real life.

Harwal, book 3
I'm the crew's problem solver-the one they send on the hardest jobs. To them, I'm fearless, strong, unshakable. But the truth? I'm a coward, hiding secrets I pray no one ever uncovers. Everyone knows I'm terrified of the Zohra, the horned aliens that send chills down my spine. Yet, in a reckless moment, I agree to stay with the crew-near them. But my personal fears don't matter when a bigger threat emerges, one that could destroy everything. The mission takes us to my hometown, to a hidden lab filled with memories I swore I'd never face. And worse? I'm stuck infiltrating it with Harwal-a Zohra who reminds me of the monster that's haunted me for years. Surviving the mission is one thing. Surviving him-and the way he makes me feel-is another.Complete

My depression became the best of me. What's worst then your family being slaughtered? Hiding in the closet from the killers. I should've helped, I should've been there for them. The pain between my chest and stomach was growing guilt. So I started thinking smart. Looking at everyone differently. I decided to reopen their cold cases. And when I found the truth it hit me deep.Complete

"I should run. I always do. And I'm good at it. But this time... something feels different. Maybe it's the place. Or maybe it's a certain someone who makes me want to stay. Even though he's made it painfully clear that I'm not welcome here, a part of me feels connected-like I belong. I should stop overthinking. Just this once... maybe I should let my heart decide."Complete

This is a series of short stories, poems and thoughts I've written over the years, compiled into this collection. Most of these were written years ago. Some I've written as early as this year (2025). The purpose of this volume is to feel. Feel everything as though you are the main character experiencing each emotion expressed through my writing. These are written through my perspective as a woman, but please let this resonate with you regardless of your identity. Please vote, comment, like and share. Thank you! - nhiamareComplete
