    Some love stories are remembered because they were loud. Others endure because they were lived quietly. Greatest Love Stories of the Forgotten Century is a lyrical historical romance set at the threshold of the 20th century, where letters traveled slowly, winters felt longer, and love learned the art of waiting. Told through intimate moments, quiet devotion, and memories shaped by distance and time, this short novel follows a love that does not ask to be legendary. It asks only to be true. Snow-covered streets, unsent messages, shared laughter, and hands reaching out before fear arrives become the language of a bond that survives without spectacle. Blending poetic prose, spoken-word reflection, and a tender bonus fairytale, the book explores how love softens even the coldest seasons, how ordinary days become sacred, and how devotion can exist without being seen. This is a story for readers who believe that the greatest romances are not always written into history books, but into waiting, into warmth chosen again and again, into the quiet courage of staying. A clean, heartfelt historical romance about love that lingers long after the century forgets its n

    Laura just wanted to know the time. The wrong question, asked to the wrong person, at the wrong moment - and the world never quite came back. Now the clock reads 00:00. The neighbor waters flowers with a dry hose. And the voice echoing in her head isn't only hers anymore. The Endless Cycle is a quiet descent into a fragmenting mind - one that isn't sure it wants to be put back together.

    I am just a wandering soul, quietly drifting forward. I am the demon that haunts you, revenge for what you did to me. I am the innocent girl who once knelt at your feet, obeying your every command. I am the one you should fear. I am a tortured spirit crying over the ruins of love. I am the monster, the cursed girl everyone whispers about. I am whatever I choose to be - the one who breathes heavily, and for nothing. I am the reason behind your absurd, wicked happiness. The one who sins for your mistakes and blames herself for your cruelty. I am Abel - the mortal girl who was once normal. Before I met you.

    How many deaths must a soul endure before it becomes whole? A Life by a Thousand Death is a confession made out loud. Not to be forgiven. Not to be saved. To be witnessed. It moves the way memory moves when it is honest, recursive, unfinished, and allergic to clean timelines. What I call the past is not behind me. It is in my throat. It is in my sleep. It is in the way my body prepares for loss before anything has happened. I was called a miracle before I was old enough to understand what that word demands. Later, I was treated like a burden, as if the miracle had expired and only the cost remained. My family did not pass down stories. It passed down rules. Some were spoken. Most were enforced through silence. A person learns quickly what cannot be named without consequences. A person learns to live with gaps, and to call them normal. Each chapter is a record of what had to be cut away to keep going. A belief. A name. A future. Sometimes innocence. Sometimes tenderness. Sometimes it's the simple ability to ask for what I needed without feeling guilty for having needs at all. These are deaths of the soul. Some are quiet enough to hide inside a regular day. Some are loud enough to rearrange the whole house. If you are looking for redemption, you will not find it here. This is not a story about healing. It is a ritual for the in-between. For the ones who kept living when living stopped feeling holy. For the ones who learned that survival is not always a victory, sometimes it is just a continuation. What survives is not hope. Not the kind people sell. What survives is the body still moving. Jaw locked. Lungs dragging air. Steps taken without consent. A life carried forward on discipline, stubbornness, and the strange refusal to disappear. Unholy. Unforgiven. Alive.

    In a land where the fog never lifts and the sun burns without mercy, a lone traveler marches through an endless desert. He owns nothing-not his name, not his path, not even his suffering. Yet every step he takes defies the void around him. Haunted by visions, tested by mirages, and confronted by a mysterious companion in white, he grapples with questions of purpose, faith, and the crushing weight of his own choices. Is his journey defiance... or delusion? Is the desert his prison... or his forge? And if he ever escapes the fog-what then? A haunting, philosophical tale of struggle, madness, and the relentless pursuit of meaning in a world that offers none. Are you ready to dive in this journey?
