Insomnia Stories

They say the deepest conversations happen late at night, when the sky is dark, the stars are bright, and the brain is too tired to hide feelings or filter what you're trying to say. So what happens when the blonde beauty with insomnia and the cowboy who stays up all night start texting every night? Read to find out!

A small coastal town that looks peaceful in the daytime but feels eerie at night. The town has a reputation: every few years, someone disappears. No one talks about it

"Thành phố lúc hai giờ sáng không dành cho những người bình thường. Nó dành cho những kẻ bị giấc ngủ chối bỏ, và những tâm hồn đang khao khát một sự tự do không tên. Tôi gặp cô ấy trên mái hiên của một cửa hàng tiện lợi cũ kỹ. Mái tóc đen dài xòa xuống chiếc áo len rộng thùng xình, đôi mắt cô ấy sáng hơn cả những bảng hiệu neon ngoài kia. Chúng tôi không quen biết, chẳng có điểm chung nào ngoài một chứng bệnh: Mất ngủ. 'Đi thôi,' cô ấy nói, nắm lấy tay tôi. 'Tớ sẽ cho cậu xem bộ mặt thật của thành phố này - thứ mà những kẻ ngủ sớm sẽ chẳng bao giờ chạm tới được.' Một hành trình dạo bước không mục đích, nơi những bí mật chỉ được bật mí khi thế gian đã chìm vào tĩnh lặng."

Mia Rowley is the new girl at Wescott Prep-quiet, guarded, and carrying more than anyone knows. Signing up for the school's Pen Pal Programme was supposed to be harmless. Elias Wellington is the school's golden boy-football captain, everyone's favourite. But behind the perfect smile is a boy who hasn't slept properly in months, still haunted by the summer that broke him. They weren't supposed to be matched. They weren't supposed to find each other. But one letter changes everything. Because sometimes the wrong person is exactly the one you need.

A new subset of poetry for the new year. Shorts too. The mutterings of a cynical and fed up man. Nothing artificial. Human brain pain. The result of a future that dies before we reach it.

A 19-year-old boy, living far away from everyone, has accepted his loneliness... But there's one thing he can't escape - sleep. Or maybe... what comes after it.

Noa isn't who people think he is. In New York, he's just another reckless street racer, a bad student with a bad attitude and no past. But back in Japan, he was Naru Namura -the son of a powerful family, trapped in a life he hated and ran from without looking back. Venness isn't who people think she is either. Perfect daughter. Perfect grades. Perfect smile. That's what everyone sees. Not the girl who can't sleep at night. Not the one drowning in secrets, guilt, and a version of herself she barely recognizes anymore. When Noa meets her, he hates her instantly. She's everything he escaped-and everything he refuses to become again. But under neon lights and roaring engines, there's another side of her. A girl behind the wheel. Fearless. Untouchable. V. And when the truth comes out, Noa realizes something too late The girl he judged the most... was the one who was breaking all along.

Words for when living feels heavy. Meant to be felt, not solved.

Melrose Babylon hates her job even though the government practically made it for her specifically. She's also heard herself be called by many names. A psychic, is anatomically an impossibility, for her at least. A witch, though she figures that was for her disheveled appearance. And an alien. That was for something she didn't even know. The BAU expects some older hotshot that storms through the doors and demanded the world. But when an awkward twenty four year old walks into the door they are all left speechless in a sense.

The voice of those who struggle to express themselves...

In the heart of an elite, tradition-bound Haveli, a miracle was born into a lineage of iron-willed men. For five years, she was their "jaan"-a girl worshipped as a living deity by her father and four protective brothers. But in this house, love is a double-edged sword, and "Honor" is the only law. ​One unexplained tragedy, one silent witness, and one misunderstood moment turned the family's crown jewel into their greatest shame. To preserve their pride, the men who once swore to die for her chose to erase her instead.

(5 years after the events of Silence) Arrian Rider was the Victor of the 38th Hunger Games, and now leads a double life in District 7. He's in assoication with District 13, and spies for them. But when love complicates things further, how will he cope? And how will he cope with Riley, the gutsy female tribute for the 46th Hunger Games? (This is pants for the first few chapters! Bear with it. Also, as said on Silence, the dates of the Games are currently wrong. This is set in the 46th Games, not the 36th!)

Sarah's bestfriend, Natalie is the sister to the one and only Louis Tomlinson and what happens when the boys come and visit Natalie. Will they hate or love Sarah? Will they find out Sarah huge secret?

Most people don't get the movie-version of life. Ronnie Thuney is one of those people. He works hard. He shows up. He tries to be decent. He lies awake at 3 a.m. replaying conversations and building plans that never quite become anything. At work he's "reliable," never remarkable. In love he's always almost enough - especially with Klaire, the woman he cares about more than he'll ever admit. And then there's Ella, the one who stays, even when she can feel his heart isn't fully hers. Everyone keeps moving forward. Ronnie keeps trying to catch up. And then life slows down in a way he never expected. In the quiet spaces - hospital rooms, late-night car rides, coffee cups and tired smiles - Ronnie begins to understand that meaning doesn't always look the way we think it should. Sometimes it isn't applause or achievement. Sometimes it's the small ways you show up for people. The quiet kindnesses. The love you never quite got right, but felt with your whole chest anyway. This is not a story about winning. It's a story about people like us - the ordinary, invisible, overthinking, heart-tired people who keep trying anyway. And the truth that even if the world never claps for you... You still matter.

Alice has been living with OCD for as long as she could remember, continuously sectioned on mental health wards as it got progressively worse over the years. After the traumatising sectioning, Alice decided to confine herself to her apartment where she knew was safe, everything was as her routine, just the way she liked it. Until...

my mind made this out of a mush of headcanons that i found online.

What do you do when the world is quiet but your mind won't shut up? 3:04 A.M. is a haunting, intimate collection of fragmented thoughts, whispered confessions, and emotional snapshots scribbled in the dark. Equal parts journal, poetry, and stream-of-consciousness therapy, this book captures the sleepless moments where memories hit hardest, regrets echo loudest, and truths are too raw to say aloud. With the vulnerable honesty of a midnight voicemail and the strange comfort of a stranger's open diary, these unsent messages explore love, loss, nostalgia, and the beautiful chaos of being awake when everyone else is dreaming. This is not a book you read - it's one you feel. This is especially made for anyone who has ever stared at the ceiling and thought, "I shouldn't be feeling this much right now."

We're all screwed up. No sleep, abused at home, addicted, bullied, diseased, broken, alone. Can 7 broken peices all fit together?
