    Psyche is a collection of poetic fragments, prayers and personifications written from the inner landscape of a mind learning how to survive. Here, abstract forces speak-Truth walks barefoot, Faith has no name, Mercy grows tired, and Death is not always the enemy. Myth, nature, and emotion intertwine as the psyche gives voice to what cannot be said plainly. This is not a diary. It is not doctrine. It is a quiet mythology of the inner world.

      Parts 11
    Blackwater is a town that survives by forgetting. The river takes bodies. The forest takes flesh. The mirrors take identity. And when the town can no longer pretend these things are separate, the stories it buried begin to answer back. As disappearances spread and memory itself starts to fracture, a handful of residents are forced to confront the truth beneath Blackwater-where belief becomes weight, fear takes form, and silence demands sacrifice. Some stories survive by being forgotten. This one doesn't. Content Note: This is a slow-burn horror novel. It contains psychological horror, disturbing imagery, and themes of memory loss, identity erosion, and grief.

    Magic exists to keep the world from ending. Kael is the reason it won't. Born with an impossible power that collapses conflicts instead of controlling them, Kael is hunted by an Empire that depends on endless tension to survive. As he uncovers the lie at the heart of the Empire, he realizes magic was never a gift. It was a cage. Every time he acts, something ancient shifts-and something imprisoned begins to notice. Because the god they worship is not their ruler. It is their prisoner. And it is waking up. As borders fall, memories unravel, and gods whisper through familiar faces, Kael must decide: Is the world worth saving... or is peace worth everything?

    Your mind is a burning room, a drowning storm, and a torturing fairy-tale all at once. Now, descend through its layers and discover what waits in the one place even the flames can't reach. Sad Sundays is my weekly space to share melancholic poetry, words that help me navigate the stillness, the weight, and the quiet storms of recovery. Each Sunday, I post a new piece that I've written, using poetry to process my journey through detox and rehab, to face the difficult parts of healing, and to find meaning in the silence. Every poem is written by hand with help from the Rhymezone platform. This series is as much for me as it is for anyone who finds comfort in knowing they're not alone on their gray days. I will eventually try to tie most of my work together into a larger piece, but first and foremost, this will function as a collection of my writings while I am going through detox. There may be an underlying story, but perhaps not. Find out next week, and join me for a Sad Sunday moment. New Upload every Sunday at 18:00 (6 PM) German time - CET/CEST (UTC+1/UTC+2).

    "Some people see the world as it is. I see the world as it could be-if I fight for it." Altair arrived at Oxford feeling out of place, a stranger in a city of stars. Everything was unfamiliar... until a chance encounter with Yuna made the impossible feel alive. In a world where science can bend reality and hearts collide in silence, love becomes a force stronger than any disease, any limitation, any fear. This is a story about daring to fight for tomorrow, even when today feels like it's slipping away. About the quiet power of devotion, the courage to chase impossible dreams, and the bonds that survive even the hardest tests of fate. Sometimes, the stars write letters we can't read... until we fight to see them.

    Dreams are supposed to feel safe. Arin's don't. When a fall through a shattered sky drags him into a broken dream world, Arin discovers he can bend reality with thought alone. But power has a cost - every time he uses the Void, something inside him disappears. Memories fade. Emotions die. And watching from the darkness is NOX - a calm, ancient presence who believes fear is a lie and pain is unnecessary. As the line between dream, reality, and nothingness begins to collapse, Arin must face a terrifying question: If nothing hurts anymore... why exist at all?

    The Void is sentient. It seeks the consumption of all existence, but is unable to do so due to forces it unintentionally gave rise to during its own emergence. Unable to act directly, it instead corrupts reality - influencing, degrading, and destabilizing it over time. Humanity discovered the Void after its effects became measurable. In response, the Void Response Authority was formed: an interstellar organization tasked with studying Void-corrupted phenomena, containing active threats, and, when possible, repurposing anomalous properties as weapons. Soriel is a void anomaly employed by the VRA as an anomalous agent. Following a transfer to the Frontier planet Abyssia, he becomes part of a system designed to observe, control, and survive the influence of the Void - even as conditions begin to diverge from what the Authority considers acceptable.

    Humanity did not die by war, disease, or divine judgment. It ended because the universe shifted. When a catastrophic resonance event rewrites the fundamental frequencies of reality, every human on Earth is erased in an instant-except one. A man whose mind operates beyond human limits, whose body cannot die, and whose existence absorbs energy from the world itself. Alone on a silent planet, he becomes both witness and architect of the end. With a thousand times the cognitive capacity of any human who ever lived, he begins to understand the truth behind the extinction: reality is governed by vibration, frequency, and resonance-and humanity was out of tune. As the last living human, he stands at the edge of evolution, capable of reshaping matter, consciousness, and life itself through sheer will and knowledge. But creation carries consequences. As he attempts to rebuild mankind, he must confront impossible questions: Should humanity be reborn as it was, flawed and fragile? Or should a new species rise-engineered to survive the universe's cruel harmony? And if he becomes their creator, can he remain human... or will he become something else entirely? A cosmic science-fiction epic exploring extinction, godhood, and the price of creation, The Architect of the End asks one haunting question: If you were the last human alive, would you recreate humanity-or design something better?

    The price of looking at what's forbidden is never small. The mission to Io was never meant to save humanity. It was meant to stare straight into what should never be seen... and find beauty in the heart of hell. Captain Leo knows the ship is a prototype. He knows something inside it isn't right. And he knows Clarise, his wife, fears what they carry within more than the volcanoes burning beneath Jupiter's surface. But when the gas giant seems to stare back at you, wonder becomes stronger than the instinct to survive. A story about obsession, emptiness... and that final second of light before everything goes dark.

    He was immortal. She was dying. And love was the one rule he was never allowed to break. Elias has spent centuries as a witness to human endings arriving quietly, staying longer than anyone notices, remembering what the world forgets. Liora Amaris Vale is twenty-two, terminally ill, and determined to face her ending without illusions. When their lives intersect in a hospice room, they form a connection built not on promises or salvation but on presence, restraint, and the terrible courage to let go. He can save her. She refuses to be saved. As her final days unfold, Elias must choose between breaking the rule that defines his existence or honoring her wish and paying a price far greater than loss. This is not a story about living forever. It is a story about what love costs when you choose not to interfere. A quiet, devastating dark romance about immortality, agency, and the silence between heartbeats.
