Memory Stories

She had everything- A glittering skyline at her window, parents who adored her, a lover who swore the stars would bow to her smile. At twenty-eight, Aarika Singhania ruled her empire-a company she'd built from dust and ambition. She was everything which a girl dreams of. Her life was perfect. Too perfect. Until one night-screeching tires, shattered glass, and then-nothing. When she opened her eyes again... the world wasn't hers anymore. A cramped bedroom. Faded walls. Two small faces staring at her with tear-filled eyes- "Mommy?" Her reflection in the cracked mirror was a stranger-twenty-one, tired, beautiful in a way that carried pain. A ring on her finger, a man's shirt hanging on the door, and two toddlers calling her mother. The CEO of a billion-dollar company... now a young wife in a life she never lived. Who was the woman she replaced? Where did her own body go? And can she return to the world that once bowed to her name- or is she destined to rewrite her fate in this borrowed skin? Her heart says it's a second chance. Her mind whispers it's a trap.

NOT COMPLETED!! SMG3 has been feeling a bit under the weather lately, he even forgot to do a few things, but it was small things, so it's not that big of a deal... right? Part 1 in the "Miss me?" series. ‼️Ooc‼️ My artstyle changes a lot TwT. The main ships in this story will be Mar4 and SMG34. (Mar4 is hard for me to write about so it will be mostly platonic, sorry).

Here is your list of trigger warnings (there will be more specific warnings in the chapters): Mentions of murder and dr*gs (dr*gs will be cencored) Violence Gore Blood Death Crazy characters Unhealthy relationships Possibly uncomfortable images Swearing (like a LOT of swearing) This last warning may spoil the entire story so i suggest you read until the last chapter before looking at this one‼️ Suicide

When he awoke, alone and disoriented, he had no memory of his past. Now amnesiac, he wandered through the forest for days, weakened by exhaustion and hunger. It was then that he met a young lioness named Rani. A quiet but undeniable spark ignited between them. Shortly after their encounter, Kion collapsed from fatigue. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a place entirely unknown to him: the Tree of Life. Unaware of his true identity, Kion chose to settle in this mysterious kingdom. There, he met several animals who, despite his forgotten past, quickly became his friends-familiar to who read this story. But he also crossed paths with a prince named Seto, soon to be engaged to Rani. As days passed, Kion and Rani grew closer, stirring jealousy in Seto and suspicion in the king of the Tree of Life. The kingdom's balance began to falter, threatened by hidden forces lurking in the shadows, eager to seize control. Kion must remember in order to awaken a great hidden power - the only thing capable of defeating the forces of evil.

Author's Note This novella is written in the shadow of the wars being fought in our world today. It is for the innocent lives taken away, the homes torn open, and the ordinary futures that never get the chance to arrive. While food, water, oil, and electricity grow more expensive, ordinary people continue to carry the cost of decisions made far above them. The powerful speak of borders, strategy, history, and destiny; families bury sons, daughters, memories, and the simple lives they were building with tired hands. Love and War is a work of fiction, but its grief belongs to the present.

This is the tale of how Telikos, once a bustling, beautiful city, was turned into but a small, unnaturally-shaped town whose residents, if they had not already died, were those condemned to the galleys.

I woke up in a room I didn't recognize. No memories. No name I could trust. No past I could hold on to. All I knew was this-everyone around me seemed to know who I was... except me. Then a stranger came knocking, saying he had been looking for me. But how do you trust someone who knows your name, when you don't even know who you are? And why does it feel like remembering the truth... might be the most dangerous thing I could do?

Rewriting MemoryWhat if your childhood was never truly yours? What if your most precious memories were manufactured in a lab? In a near-future world ruled by a powerful tech corporation called Nexora, a revolutionary app named MNEMO lets people record, replay, and even edit their memories. For most users, it is the ultimate escape. For Yaseen, it becomes a doorway to a lie. After accepting a high-paying temporary job cleaning corrupted memory files for Nexora, Yaseen stumbles upon something impossible: a hidden memory fragment that shows his own face in an event he does not remember living. When a mysterious hacker called "Cipher" tells him this is not the first time his memories have been edited, Yaseen's world starts to crack. Haunted by the "accident" that killed his father ten years ago, and drawn to Lian, a conflicted cognitive scientist working for Nexora, Yaseen is forced into a maze of altered memories, buried experiments, and corporate conspiracy. The more he uncovers, the more he realizes that his past, his pain, and even his love may have been rewritten. To reclaim his life, Yaseen must do the one thing Nexora never planned for: use their own memory-engineering technology against them. Can you trust your feelings... if you can't trust your memories?'

A Treasure of Memories Ravi, a man in his late sixties, sits alone, turning the pages of his late wife Suvarna's recipe book.

Zara was never meant to survive. Deep within Neo-Babel - a megacity drowning in neon light and endless streams of data - a ghost bounty is circulating. No face. No official name. Only one certainty: she must be found. Or erased. Raised without a past, without an identity, inside a project that even Horizon Corp claims to have abandoned, Zara is now on the run. Since her escape, something inside her has begun to malfunction: fragments of code surface without command, reality fractures into invisible architectures, and whispers emerge where there should be nothing but silence. Hunted by mercenaries and confronted with the remnants of a vanished program, Zara slowly realizes that her body may never have been meant to be enhanced - but used. As the boundary between flesh and network begins to erode, one question becomes impossible to ignore: What remains of the human when one stops being a person and becomes a function?

There was a time when the sky was different. Elias remembers it. He remembers standing beneath ancient pillars as lights descended from the stars. He remembers a world on the brink of revelation - and ruin. But those memories do not belong to the life he lives now. In the present day, university researcher Dr. Evelyn Carter is drawn into a mystery buried beneath history itself. Her work intersects with Elias in ways neither of them can explain. The deeper they dig, the more the past bleeds into the present. What if humanity's oldest myths are not stories - but warnings? The Man Who Remembers is a cinematic, emotionally grounded blend of ancient mystery and near-future possibility - a story about grief, memory, destiny, and the quiet truth that time is not as linear as we believe.
