    Mercy is easier when the world isn't starving. if survival demands cruelty everytime, then what actually survives? The world did not end with fire. It ended with petals that can pierce flesh. Power does not corrupt the heart, it merely removes the the curtains hiding it Even the purest flower drinks from graves beneath its soil. Do everything can be a miracle gifted by the nature? Or merely a curse? Hope is a candle that survives by teaching itself how to burn slowly. Let us ponder in a world where a garden does not ask permission before it devours the ruin beneath it. ----------------------------------------------------------------- [ IMPORTANT NOTICE: "Some" parts of this story is written in a poetic and philosophical style. Some dialogues, symbols, and meanings may not be immediately understood, as they are to be felt as much as they are read. The world within these pages speaks in silence, metaphors(some), and emotion. Interpretations may differ from person to person - and that is part of the story itself. Read slowly. The garden does not bloom for hurried eyes] ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Warning: This story contains violence, grief, and moments of human cruelty. Not all wounds in this world are made by monsters.] ----------------------------------------------------------------- Author's Note: This story was born from silence, ruin, and the strange beauty of survival.

    In an act of desperation, the historian Aurora Payne sold her soul. Now, the Devil has collected his due. But Aurora soon finds that the real Hell is hardly anything like its theological descriptions. Hell is not just a jail for sinners, it's a prison for the most destructive entity in the universe: the Horde. An ancient deity akin to a black hole, the Horde is the mother of all demons and nightmares. The Celestials constructed Hell over 8,000 years ago to be Its jail and have sent the humans there to be Its food. Forced into a cosmic order that treats humans as livestock, Aurora must choose between survival and keeping her soul intact. Annunciation, Book 1 of the HORDE series, follows Aurora's descent into this infernal court of monstrous demons who all want a piece of her, and a Devil who's just realized he wants her most of all. Content Warnings: This series contains mature themes including graphic violence, horror imagery, gore, psychological distress, coercive power dynamics, sexuality, nudity, profanity, themes of death and damnation, and later depictions/references of sexual violence. Explicit content is off-page here - this is a censored/faded version, with links to find explicit content elsewhere. Posted every Tuesday and Thursday without fail. Note: HORDE was written in advance to serializing here and is registered with the US Copyright Office. I only post on RR and Wattpad under TheHordeWorks, and on Patreon as "Horde by A.E. Payne".

    When fourteen-year-old Yewande moves from Nigeria to Cardiff, Wales, she expects the biggest challenge to be settling into a new school and a new life. Instead, an unexpected friendship with Ashleigh, heir to the Bryneithin estate, draws her into a world of unanswered questions. The Bryneithin estate has stood for generations, surrounded by ancient woodland, local whispers, and secrets that refuse to stay buried. Why does Ashleigh's aunt never leave the house? Who is the mysterious boy watching from the trees? And why do some people look at Yewande as though they've seen a ghost? As long-hidden mysteries begin to surface, Yewande finds herself caught in events that seem strangely connected to her. To uncover the truth, she'll need courage to unravel the mystery of Bryneithin-and discover her unexpected place within its story. A richly atmospheric mystery about friendship, identity, family, and belonging, set against the haunting beauty of South Wales. Updates: Revised chapters will be published regularly.

    Casper Wain sees the lives that were erased. Every person is followed by ghosts of forgotten choices, abandoned futures, and histories rewritten out of existence. Casper is one of the few people born able to see them-a Marginalian working for the Witnesses, a secret order devoted to remembering what the rest of the world has lost. When a death draws him into the trail of Elias Rourke, an Editor who can rewrite reality itself, Casper uncovers a truth buried beneath centuries of deliberate erasures. Every rewritten memory leaves something behind. Every mercy creates a ghost. And the weight of those forgotten lives is beginning to break through into the world. As Casper follows the echoes of a conspiracy that reaches back to his own father's disappearance, he must confront a question no Witness has ever been able to answer: if you could erase the worst pain of your life, would you still be the same person afterward? THE UNWRITTEN is a literary paranormal mystery about memory, grief, and the parts of ourselves that survive even when history forgets them.

    Every child believes their home is normal until they learn what silence costs. A young heir is raised within Arx Silentium, a palace where silence is law and love is indistinguishable from control. As she grows older, she begins to notice fractures in the reality carefully constructed around her-memories that don't align, emotions that feel borrowed, and relationships that shift depending on who is watching. When she begins to question what is real, she discovers that the most dangerous thing inside the palace is not what it hides from her, but what it has taught her to ignore.

    The shrine at the top of the hill has been abandoned for four hundred years. The frost never crosses its threshold. Each spring, white flowers bloom where nothing should grow. The villagers leave offerings at the foot of the steps, then hurry away before sunset. No one speaks of what lives beneath the cedar hall. No one climbs the hill twice. Except her. What begins as fear becomes habit. Habit becomes conversation. Conversation becomes the slowest kind of devotion. He never lies to the ones he likes. She is never tricked. Across sixty years of winters, funerals, harvests, and ordinary days, a girl and the thing sealed beneath an ancient shrine forge a bond neither of them was ever meant to have. Some promises are not made with love. Some are simply kept. A quiet dark fantasy inspired by Japanese folklore, where monsters tell the truth, kindness can become its own prison, and attendance is the rarest form of devotion.

    In a city that never stops moving, four quiet lives drift through the exact same night. A top student trapped under suffocating expectations. An artist hiding her true feelings behind silent sketches. A rooftop dancer trying to escape the world's rigid rules. And a musician wandering empty streets, searching for a sound that feels real. They live completely separate lives-yet under the backdrop of glowing streetlights and quiet starry skies, their worlds are about to subtly align. An atmospheric slice-of-life story about isolation, youth, art, and finding where you belong when you feel like a star that was never meant to exist. sliceoflife #drama #comingofage #art #music #atmospheric #originalstory #youth #schoollife

    In the neon-soaked city of Arcadia, Detective Alex Harper lives haunted by the ghosts of unsolved cases and the corruption festering beneath the city's shining surface. One rainy evening, a mysterious black-and-white photograph is slipped under his office door - a portrait of a woman with piercing eyes and an unsettling smile. The woman is identified as Evelyn Cross, a missing witness connected to a brutal murder case that went cold nearly ten years earlier - a case that destroyed careers, buried evidence, and left powerful people untouched. Driven by obsession and guilt, Alex reopens the investigation despite warnings from former allies and threats from dangerous enemies. As he follows a trail of hidden files, secret meetings, and forgotten memories, he uncovers a conspiracy reaching deep into Arcadia's political elite and criminal underworld. But the closer Alex gets to the truth, the more he realizes Evelyn was hiding secrets of her own. Someone is determined to keep the past buried, and bodies begin to appear wherever the investigation leads. With trust fading and danger closing in, Alex must decide how far he is willing to go for the truth - before the shadows of the forgotten consume him too.
