She remembers everything. At least, she thinks she does. But slowly, people around her start remembering things differently. Moments she swears never happened are spoken about like facts. Conversations she never had are repeated back to her. And then there's her- the new girl- who looks a little too familiar, a little too perfect, like she fits into places the protagonist didn't even know were missing. At first, it's easy to ignore. Mistakes happen. People get confused. But confusion turns into patterns. And patterns start to feel like something is being rewritten. Because if everyone is sure about a version of you that isn't real... what does that make you? And more importantly- what happens when that version starts replacing you? Correction. a sketch for now.

Then a man walks into her office. Calm. Quiet. Familiar in a way that doesn't make sense. He says his name is Noah. The problem? Noah Pierce has been dead for years. Now, the deeper Evelyn looks into her patients, the more the patterns start to form. The same fear. The same words. The same feeling. Like something has been there all along. Watching. Waiting.

A protagonist returns to an old house after a family death, expecting grief and silence. Instead, the house behaves as if it is alive. The hallway becomes the central nightmare doors change position, footsteps echo from impossible places, memories begin to fail, and a pale figure appears at the far end of the corridor like it has been waiting there for years. At first, the protagonist assumes it is a human intruder. Then the truth becomes far worse, the figure is not trying to enter the room. It is trying to keep the protagonist from leaving. The house slowly reveals a buried family secret involving missing memories, hidden rooms, and a past the family tried to erase. The horror should remain ambiguous for as long as possible the threat may be a ghost, a buried trauma, a living person, or something that has learned to imitate grief.

Will has been a full-fledged Ranger for some time now. He lives on his own, and everything seems fine. Or so it seems. Day by day, the young Ranger grows more exhausted. Everyone around him dismisses it as overwork and lack of sleep - everyone except Will. He insists on one thing: someone is watching him. He feels threatened. His unease turns into growing paranoia. But is something truly wrong... or is his mind beginning to slip? Is there really someone out there - or is his mental health slowly falling apart? Will he find support among the people closest to him, or will he be forced to face it all alone? For the purpose of this story, all characters live in the same town. As always, I do not own Ranger's Apprentice or any characters created by John Flanagan. This is only a fanfiction - my own interpretation and exploration of the world. Note: This is an English translation of my Polish story. English is not my first language, so please forgive any small mistakes.

After months of disappearing into the mind of a paranoid architect for his most ambitious film yet, actor Louis Anderson believes the nightmare is finally over. The cameras stop rolling, the director calls cut, and the cast celebrates the completion of *Recursive*-a psychological thriller about identity, control, and the terrifying possibility that reality itself is scripted. But when Louis returns home, the boundaries between the movie and his life begin to fracture. People call him by his character's name. Strangers recognize memories he never lived. Scripts appear predicting his every action before he makes it. The world around him begins to behave less like reality and more like a performance desperately trying to stay on script. As Louis struggles to hold onto his identity, he becomes trapped in a labyrinth where every attempt to escape only deepens the illusion. Haunted by cryptic warnings, collapsing timelines, and the lingering influence of a director obsessed with "perfect realism," he is forced to confront a horrifying question: What if the role never ended? Blurring the line between actor and character, *Recursive* is a psychological meta-thriller about memory, authorship, performance, and the terrifying power stories hold over the people trapped inside them. Atmospheric, unsettling, and deeply existential, it explores what happens when reality itself starts reading from a script. © 𝙰𝚕𝚕 𝚁𝚒𝚐𝚑𝚝𝚜 𝚁𝚎𝚜𝚎𝚛𝚟𝚎𝚍.

Eli Rowan grew up learning how to stay quiet. In a house ruled by discipline and fear, his father-Detective Marcus Rowan-taught him that obedience was survival and silence was safety. Every rule was enforced with precision. Every mistake was remembered. Then one night, Eli escaped. He built a life from nothing. Simple work. Simple routines. A version of himself that asked no questions and attracted no attention. For years, it held. Until it didn't. When Eli discovers a missing file tied to his identity-one that should not exist-his carefully constructed reality begins to fracture. Strange gaps in memory. Unfamiliar recognition from strangers. And a man named Agent Victor Hale who speaks as if Eli's entire life was designed, not lived. The deeper Eli searches, the more impossible the truth becomes: his past may not be something he survived-but something that was built for him. And the only way forward... is to uncover who he was never meant to know he is.

Sleep is supposed to heal the mind. Lethe knows that better than anyone-he's a sleep specialist. Dreams process emotion, organize memory, keep people sane. But after witnessing his mother's murder, something stops working. His dreams don't fade when he wakes up. They follow him. They change him. People begin to mouth his thoughts before he speaks. Voices echo in his head seconds after he thinks them. And every night, the same message waits for him: You did it. As reality fractures and guilt takes shape, Lethe is forced to confront a question more terrifying than any nightmare- What if his mind isn't breaking... but telling the truth?

I used to think reality was simple. Wake up. Go to school. Live a normal day. Repeat. But then I noticed something small that didn't belong. A broken clock that everyone said was never broken. A message that disappeared from every device. A memory only I seem to have. At first, I thought I was just tired. Now I'm not so sure. Because every time I notice something wrong... the world changes to fix it. Like it never happened. Like I'm the only one who remembers. And the more I notice... the more reality starts to feel less like a place- and more like something that is watching me notice it. A story where reality doesn't break... it corrects itself.

The heartbreak, trauma, pain, sleepless nights. We all go through this, even if we try our best to hide it. Someone always knows we're hurting.

"Disordered thinking is what they call it. I can recall moments throughout my day, but I can't find the connections between one event and the next. There's a lot of blank spaces, in between other grey areas. " originally written for an assignment, I wrote a short story detailing instances that have happened to me during episodes of dissociation, psychosis, and mania. some of these situations were also made up and have never happened to me. I kinda like this, hopefully you do too. I also hope this brings to light how serious psychosis can be, and how unfun and untrendy it really is.

A short story of a person who's lost in the struggles of schizophrenia.

They say it's just stress. A trick of the light. But for Elias, the shadows are moving. When his perfectly clean studio becomes a wreckage of wet paint and slashed canvases, he realizes he isn't alone. Something jagged is hiding in his blind spots, and it's tired of staying in the dark. Once you see the glitch, it never stops looking back. Note: I might change a few things in future updates as the story develops.

She doesn't speak. She just watches. As the train stalls in the dark, David's mind begins to play terrifying tricks on him. Is it a ghost from the city's dark past, or is his anxiety taking control?

It starts with silence. No alarm. No event. Just the quiet. And then things stop making sense-small things at first. Time. Memory. Reflection. Something is moving in the stillness, and it's listening.
