A man. He watches with his very own eyes as a truck runs over his beloved wife, who stood by him in everything, and was everything he stood for. Disillusioned with the world and his life, the man questions the universe if he can ever turn back the clock.
Another man. He watches his own life crumble before his very own eyes as he is inexplicably diagnosed with schizophrenia. He has nobody to trust, except for his therapist. As his schizophrenia worsens, the man starts to question if everything in his life is but a lie.

Imagine a machine, a computer that can answer correctly any question you can think to ask, about absolutely anything at all. What would your question be? In this story, a psychologist and his friends are transported across time and space to find out exactly what that question might be for him and what the answer must involve. * Just one note. This story has a bit of a Christian bent to it. If that's just not your cup of tea, well then maybe this one is not for you! :P I just thought I should mention that here so you don't feel a little cheated halfway through. Cheers! ^_^Complete
Glint and Precurse
Have you ever gotten the feeling that everything you do is for nothing? Do you feel that no matter how hard you try, the world will always move on without you, whether you like it or not? Is it difficult to keep up in this current of events everyone else calls existence? Yeah... me neither... What? Do I have to put a meaningful and insightful description of the story? This is MY story, and I can do whatever the hell I want! It's funny how people just expect me to do things for them... Oh, you still aren't satisfied? If you are spending so much time reading this meaningless book description, why haven't you already started reading it? This is the kind of thing that bothers me about readers! They want people like me to practically spoil the entire story for them before they read it! Now, what it the point in that? So, taking into consideration the previous message, if you are still dying to get a taste of what this story revolves around, I might as well tell you. You have been oh-so-patient by reading all of this jibber-jabber that it would only be disrespectful for me not to give you a little information! Well... looks like I am just a really disrespectful person.Complete![Time May Pass (Astro MJ X Reader X Eunwoo) [COMPLETED]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/249062248-256-k496595.jpg)

"What's going on?" When Myungjun suddenly finds himself in the body of his girlfriend's ex-boyfriend who had mysteriously disappeared 2 years ago, he eventually finds out the cause of his disappearance: Cha Eunwoo, his girlfriend's ex-boyfriend, had died from a heart attack. Apparently, Myungjun had also time-travelled to the day Eunwoo had died, and soon finds himself facing a difficult, but inevitable, choice. Myungjun had somehow gotten himself into a time loop, and it seems the only way to stop the time loop is to meet Y/N as Eunwoo. However, he's not so keen on making his girlfriend fall for her ex-boyfriend all over again, not to mention, the uncertainty that that would stop the time loop. Could there be another way? Or will he have to keep facing death over and over again even if it isn't his? [Tw: death, depression)Complete

Behind the Screen
The book follows a protagonist whose mind begins to unravel as they are plagued by eerie occurrences that blur the line between reality and delusion. It begins with subtle shifts-a feeling of being watched, strange reflections, whispers at the edges of perception-but as the story unfolds, these sensations grow more intense and impossible to ignore. The protagonist starts questioning their own sanity, struggling to differentiate between what's real and what's in their head. Is someone-or something-watching them, or are they simply losing their grip on reality? As they spiral deeper into paranoia, the boundaries of their own identity begin to fracture, and they realize they may not be the only one in control of their mind. With each passing day, the tension grows, and the truth becomes harder to discern. The story keeps readers on edge, with unreliable narration and distorted imagery that makes them question everything. As the protagonist's mental state deteriorates, the lines between the observer and the observed blur, and the final revelation leaves the reader wondering if they're trapped in this madness alongside the character. A chilling psychological thriller, this book explores the nature of reality, self-awareness, and the terrifying idea that what you think you know may be nothing more than a reflection of something far darker.Complete
The Weird Insights of a Scobberlotcher
Seeing the light? Sounds alright. Scales falling from the eyes and all that. A little visit from a revelation. But sometimes the light of a revelation doesn't live up to its advance billing.

Especially when the light just keeps flashing on and off. A red light. In a really weird place. "At first I didn't know what to think or do that involved being rational. I did have two distinct, initial emotional reactions, though. First, I was glad I was alone. Second, this seemed a frightening confirmation that I actually had gone mad." This is the story of a man who makes a shocking discovery. He's been afflicted by a very modern disease with no known cure. Until a fortuneteller comes along and changes his mind. Literally. With a large, heavy object . Full of cigarette butts.Complete
