Illusion Stories

When my mother was alive, magic was the only string that kept her and I together. The silly card tricks, even pulling a rabbit out of the hat. It all connected me to her, pulling me into a seemingly better reality than where I was. But in the blink of an eye, she was gone. That string snapped. Magic was only real if you believed, and at that point, it was just a game to me. All it did was provide false hope. I forced myself to keep performing for her, deceive others into thinking that what they saw was real. Seeing magic fill others with joy made me question; why. Why would seeing something impossible make someone so happy? Because seeing is believing. And the closer you look, the less you'll see.

This is my first poem. I hope you enjoy reading it. This poem is for someone whose heart is shattered into pieces, yet still longs for the one they love. A collection of verses born from raw emotions, delightful feelings, and lingering thoughts. These are the words we whelmed from ourselves and from the world. An overwhelming pain we carry WITHIN us; unspoken words that create a boundary in silence, where distance leads to being misunderstood in a chaotic world, we never spoke out. In the end, it's just a word we never spoke clearly.

Book Description In a future where memories have become the world's most valuable currency, humanity stands on the brink of its final extinction-not through war, disease, or famine, but through forgetting. When an unknown man awakens with no name, no past, and no certainty of who he is, he discovers something impossible: his mind holds fragments of memories belonging to thousands of strangers. Each vision reveals hidden crimes, forgotten civilizations, impossible technologies, and a terrifying truth that someone has been stealing the collective memory of the human race. As reality begins to unravel, he is hunted by a powerful organization determined to erase the last evidence of humanity's true history. Every answer he uncovers raises a darker question: if memories can be created, altered, and stolen, can anyone truly know who they are? To save mankind, he must journey through abandoned cities, forbidden archives, and the deepest corners of the human mind, where the final memory still survives. But recovering it demands the ultimate sacrifice-one that could erase his own existence forever. The Last Human Memory is a gripping psychological science fiction thriller that explores identity, consciousness, love, loss, and the fragile stories that define what it means to be human. In the end, the greatest battle is not for the future-it is for the truth of the past.

An honest attempt to leave a reflection of my journey while discovering the roots of happiness through digging deep into the core reality of life and our existence.

Sometimes love remains, even when reality disappears. When Elena and Julian meet in the frozen, bureaucratic chaos of a Johannesburg Home Affairs queue, their connection is instant, sarcastic, and wildly impulsive. Thirty minutes after complaining about broken air conditioners and terrible coffee, they sign a marriage certificate on a whim. Friends and family place bets on how quickly the marriage will collapse, predicting disaster within months. Instead, they build a deeply devoted twenty-year life together. Through leaking roofs, lost jobs, shared jokes, and the birth of their sharp, imaginative son, Leo, their bond becomes unbreakable. An anchor against every hardship life throws at them. When a sudden, violent tragedy shatters their world, taking nineteen-year-old Leo from them in an instant, the foundation of their home fractures. Julian pours everything he has into tethering his grieving wife to reality, keeping them both afloat through sheer, quiet devotion. Maag, grief slowly warps into something far more dangerous. As Elena begins hearing Leo's voice echoing through the empty hallways, what starts as a comforting illusion gradually twists into a cruel, overwhelming psychosis. Trapped inside a mind that has rewritten reality, Elena becomes convinced that the only thing keeping her separated from her lost children is the very man holding her together. Told with heart-wrenching empathy, "Don't Book a Cover by Its Judge" is a haunting psychological tragedy that explores the fragile boundaries of grief, the terrifying isolation of a broken mind, and the devastating power of a love that endures beyond reason.

I have done a LOT with my life that is not productive... ≺⪧◅⊰⫘⊱▻⪦≻ Rossy is a teenage girl who fantasizes a perfect fairytale life. She grew up reading fairytales, popular ones, and ones that are hidden behind others. Her desires for this perfect life makes her appear delusional to everyone around her. But that dream is so intense she looses her way. Following the Mother Holle story, she climbs down a well, but looses her grip and falls down. She wakes up in her dream world, a fairytale world; somewhere perfect. She meets Anazlie, who becomes her guide. But does any fairytale really have a good ending...? ≺⪧◅⊰⫘⊱▻⪦≻ This is the Play Version. I am writing the play first, then I will do the actual book. I actually wrote the song first, but because I have no music experience (I long forgot how to play the piano) I haven't gotten past the lyrics. I don't feel like using Suno again at the moment. ___________________________ This Fairytale faze from Neoni is really kicking in on me, plus the fact I was stuck doing Shakespeare when I started writing this💀

a psychological story

The City of Brass arrives without thunder, without prophecy, and without mercy. It simply appears above the world every tenth year, gleaming with impossible towers and silent gates, inviting humanity to reach for it-then vanishing before anyone can. This time, someone intends to change that.
