    Margo Sutton lives by routine. As a Risk & Compliance Officer, she trusts systems that behave correctly and environments that stay predictable. Her apartment is quiet. Orderly. Safe. Until small things begin to misalign. A light left on. A reminder she doesn't remember setting. Silence that lingers too long. Nothing is broken. Everything has a reasonable explanation - until the patterns start to repeat. TWISTED REFLECTIONS is a psychological thriller about control, access, and the unsettling realization that a life can be studied and influenced without force, intrusion, or warning. Sometimes the most dangerous thing isn't being watched. It's being understood.

    SYNOPSIS On the frozen world of Eres, the Vega Colony was meant to be humanity's fresh start-a sanctuary for sixty-three souls beneath blood-red skies and endless ice. But when Dr. Marla Reyes's research team unearths something ancient from the glacier's depths, they unleash a nightmare that should have stayed buried. The organism they discover doesn't just kill-it replaces. It learns. It adapts. And it wears human faces with terrifying perfection. Thirty days after the outbreak, Captain Mara Bishop arrives with the United Earth Rescue Task Force to find Vega Colony a frozen tomb. The research sector is ash. The corridors are silent. And Dr. Isabella Reyes-sister of the expedition's lost leader-is the sole survivor, haunted by the knowledge that her sister tried to stop this before it began. Now, trapped on a hostile world with dwindling supplies and failing systems, Bishop's twelve-person team faces an enemy that cannot be reasoned with or easily destroyed. The creature assimilates its victims, absorbing their memories, their skills, their very identities. It thinks like them. Hunts like them. And it's learning faster than they can adapt. As the team uncovers the horrifying truth about illegal experiments, black-site research, and the organism's prehistoric origins, they realize this isn't just a rescue mission anymore-it's containment. Because if even a single cell of this thing reaches Earth, humanity's last hope dies on the ice. When paranoia becomes survival and allies become enemies, one question remains: How do you kill something that's already dead? And when the monster can become anyone... who do you trust?

    Ninguém falava do edifício. Sem janelas, escondido numa rua discreta de Lisboa, era ali que um partido jovem e moderno dizia defender a liberdade, a transparência e o mérito. Miguel acreditou. Jovem, idealista e à procura de um lugar no mundo, aceitou o convite para entrar. Mas alguns edifícios não existem para serem deixados. À medida que os corredores se multiplicam e as pessoas começam a desaparecer sem explicação, Miguel descobre que há um preço para pertencer - e que certas portas só se abrem para dentro. Entre reuniões sem registo, silêncios impostos e sorrisos que escondem algo podre, a liberdade transforma-se num labirinto claustrofóbico. "O Edifício Sem Janelas" é um conto creepypasta de terror psicológico e político, onde o verdadeiro horror não vive nas sombras, mas nas estruturas de poder, na cultura do silêncio e na facilidade com que se normaliza o inaceitável. Porque, às vezes, sair não é uma opção.

    Nothing is supposed to be empty. But when a girl begins to notice the cracks in her world, she realizes that nothing is everywhere. Hallways stretch too long. Voices repeat themselves. Time skips, stalls, and breaks. Faces stare a second too long, like they're waiting for her to disappear. What starts as a single moment of terror becomes a quiet unraveling of reality itself-classrooms fade, people glitch, and the universe seems to be slowly collapsing inward. As her sense of self begins to dissolve, so does the world around her. She drifts between what is real and what only pretends to be, caught in a space where memories feel borrowed and existence feels unfinished. The boundaries between her mind and the universe blur, until it's impossible to tell whether reality is ending... or if she is. We Are Nothing is a haunting, surreal story about identity, isolation, and the terrifying beauty of disappearing. Told through fragments of a life that may never have existed, it explores psychosis as a cosmic event-where losing yourself feels like watching the universe fall apart, one quiet moment at a time. Because if everything came from nothing- Then maybe nothing is all that's left.

    During a blood moon someone has a negative affect, and now he's out to kill, out to pray on the weak, out to keep his love from leaving him. Weird? Yes. No one knows why or how this happened, but its a mystery that needs solving quick, before he can no longer be freed from the killing masquerade he is forced to do. (I got this idea from Beast Wars and another story)

    In the vast Xenoverse, where endless timelines are governed by the time patrol's warriors, one timeline stands above all in importance. One where the first time patroller originates in fact, the original Future Trunks. Through all of his missions, countless sagas and demons galore, this larger than life existence has gotten stale. With new alterations blipping in and out of existence with each passing moment, patrollers are able to react in an instant. While his job is necessary, it just seems like his duties can be overtaken by others. Now dissatisfied, Trunks begins to consider life outside the Time Patrol. Of his original timeline. New branches of existence are naturally created every instant, what's so abhorrent about making one selfish change. One where Gohan is saved. One where he can plan ahead, stopping all the threats he knows will come. He could be the turning point that his home needs, he could make more of a change then he ever made in the patrol. After all, they can always find another Trunks. All characters belong to their original creators Akira Toriyama, Bandai-Dimps etc. This story is set in the game world of Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2. As such some game mechanics will be implemented into the story for the sake of world building.

As her home becomes a battleground of screaming pipes, blood smeared mirrors, and a cold that bites to the bone, Maria must face a heartbreaking choice. How do you mourn a man who is still holding your hand? And how do you survive a lover who would rather see you dead than see you leave? A hauntingly beautiful tale of grief, possession and the thin, jagged line between the living and the dead.

    The life of Surayya Hamdan took a drastic turn and before she realized it, she found herself deep in the path of despair that posed a danger to her life and family.

Abdullah Sa'ad Abdi, a man who has a past that keeps him at an arms length from the feelings he had harbored for years, could not for the life of him pull away from the compelling inclination of wanting to protect Surayya as danger lurked silently around her, to comfort and to quench an insatiable curiosity that was strong enough to make him crawl back into the hole of sentiments he had done everything in his power to escape from.

    On the Edge of Faith is a tense social thriller about how a personal family war turns into a carefully orchestrated campaign of harassment. Three years ago, Vera Naumova escaped from the "golden cage" of her marriage to Oleg, a successful, respectable businessman who turns out to be a cold controller and sadist at home. She builds a new life: two children (Kostya and Alina), a sick father, a job where she can finally survive and get ahead-network marketing. Vera becomes a leader, starts earning money, and for the first time feels that she has a voice and freedom. And that is what triggers a chain reaction. Oleg cannot accept her independence - and finds the perfect tool for revenge: the "salvation industry," where anyone who is inconvenient can be declared a "cult follower," "brainwashed," or "dangerous to children." Anti-cult "experts," commissioned publications, pseudo-expert opinions on social media posts, pressure through schools and authorities all come into play - and what should protect begins to work as a press. When the blow falls on the most vulnerable - children - Vera realizes that this is not just a divorce and not just slander. It is a system that knows how to turn the victim into a criminal, violence into "rehabilitation," and truth into extremism. Left virtually alone against connections, money, and "the right stamps," she meets people who have already been crushed by the same anti-cult methods. Together, they gather evidence, track down money and schemes, and Vera has to take a step from which there is no turning back. This is a story about domestic terror masquerading as well-being; about manipulation through fear and the word "cult"; about how easily society begins to applaud retribution if it is nicely called "salvation." And about how a mother's determination sometimes proves stronger than any propaganda machine.
