Silence Stories

"...The 2nd favorite to win, is Lady T!" A male announcer spoke over the loudspeaker, a female voice, the second announcer speaking. "No doubt about it, it's been seen over and over again at this track, that one of her best qualities is her endurance. So, I'm looking to see a good race, coming from her today." "It's true that her endurance is rather incredible, but will it be enough to tackle 1,700 meters in wet dirt? I think it'll all come down to her rivals today! An how well they perform." Walking out of the tunnel as they finished their commentarial assessment, they move onto me, the crowd erupts into cheers and shouts upon my revealing. "Speaking of Rivals, we've got someone with no shortage of rivalry's! The crowd favorite! And the favorite to win!" The male announced, the female announcer taking over, as I do not wave to anyone, I keep my head down, my blank, almost empty expression told of confliction. Approaching the start area, where others lye in wait. "Lexington has been on a incredible winning streak this year, in fact he's never lost a single race yet, since his debut last Fall. Though, none of these races were graded. So today, will be his first Graded race. I wonder, will he be able to keep up this incredible momentum he's created?" "I'd say a better question isn't rather he can keep up, but rather will he be able to run well in the dirt in these conditions?" "Rather he can or can't, I'm confident that he's going to make tonight's race an incredible one"

"Main sab samhalunga Maa, Aapko, Veer ko aur-", he hesitated, while holding his mother's hand, who was lost in her own world. "Aur sabko. Bas aap wapas aajayein, pehle ki tarah", a tear fell on her wrist, his tear, her eldest, who was carrying the burden of the world, with a hope to get her back. She was lost to the fate of misery, helpless at her son's tears, unable to comprehend what was happening around her. "I am missing you Maa. Sunn rahe hai?", he hoped for a reply, but it never came. It never came in last three years, he knew, but he didn't stop trying. A crying sound interrupted his private conversation, he stood and ran in the direction, the child needed him more, she had none, he knew. "Shh, Shh...

"Why? Why are you doing this?" My voice broke at the end. Aariz remained stoic , emotionless. "This is how it was supposed to be." He turned to leave. "NO..no. You don't get to decide that.You can't leave . Not without any explanation ." I ran and stood in front of him. I don't care if I am looking desperate at this point. I want him to talk. "Say, Aariz." I said as my eyes teard up. "Tell me the truth." "I can't ." He looked tired. Painfully exhausted. "Then why did you do this? Why did you marry me?" My blood boiled , a sheer fury ran through my spine. "To let you go. " Then.. Then.. He went away . Just like that. Like he never came. ______________________________________ 'You should have let me in , not let me go Aariz. We could have made more memories together and I could have cherished those. Now we simply don't have the time." My eyes red, my voice wavering, my body shivering. "We will make the best use of the least time we have, Noor." His eyes promised me , just like his words.

A few crappy poems I wrote looking out my bedroom window.

Some stories don't need to be told. She doesn't explain, she doesn't defend, and the world decides her story for her.

In a world that misunderstands quiet strength, how do you survive without losing yourself?

He built everything in silence - a business worth millions, factories, a university, hundreds of lives resting on his decisions. He never spoke about it. And she never knew. She waited, believing silence was temporary. Believing distance had an explanation. Then the messages stopped. While she was counting days and fighting her own quiet battles, corruption was dismantling his world - carefully, legally, without mercy. He disappeared not by choice, but because everything he had built was being taken at once. She learned who he truly was only when it was already too late to ask questions. This is a story about waiting that turns into fear, about silence that hurts more than truth, about feelings that begin as anxiety and slowly become something deeper - something dangerously close to love. Sometimes love doesn't start with a touch. Sometimes it starts with silence .Based on true events

Ever since the silence began, the world has been wrong. People lose whole days-forgotten, erased- as if their emotions are being swallowed by something unseen. Joy. Fear. Pain. All of it... fading. But Jiwoo hears what no one else can: Emotions making noise. A trembling echo when fear rises, a sharp crack when anger shatters, a low hum when grief tries to breathe. And when the seventh tone awakens inside her skull, the lights flicker- time stutters- and a voice whispers from the empty air: "Hear the seventh tone." Something is breaking. Something is calling. And Jiwoo is the only one who can hear it.

​She grows up poor. Quiet. Unclaimed. ​Her mother died early, leaving behind nothing but the knowledge of how to stay small. Her father existed only as a hollow space in their lives. An absence that ate their food and sat between them at night. In their world of thin walls and counted coins, silence was the only thing that kept them alive. ​On her nineteenth birthday, a door finally opens. ​Her father takes her from a life of borrowed rooms and empty cupboards into a house built on marble and restraint. It is a place of locked wings and rules spoken without warmth. She is not a daughter here; she is the proof of a past mistake. She is the child who should have stayed invisible. ​The woman who runs the house sees her too clearly. She meets the girl's presence with a resentment that cuts deeper than cruelty, a silence sharper than any scream. Every cold glance is a reminder: you are what he wants to forget. ​This story is about what happens when poverty teaches you how to disappear. It is about the heavy, aching truth of living in a world where fairness was never promised. ​And it is about the most dangerous thing of all: loving someone you know you cannot have. Not loudly. Not bravely. But carefully. In the tiny, jagged pieces you keep hidden beneath your skin. ​If you have ever learned to survive by staying small, this story sees you. ​If you have ever loved from a distance because wanting more felt like a threat, this story understands you. ​The Mistress's Daughter is a dark, quiet novel about the cost of being born where you were never meant to belong and the strength it takes to exist anyway.

Amy Rivera doesn't believe in love. Marriage, to her, is a trap built from broken promises and inherited pain. Ace Rhyder has everything money can buy-and nothing he can trust. When a contract binds them together, neither expects silence to become their common language. No vows of love. No shared rooms. Only rules, distance, and a dangerous curiosity neither can control. But in a world ruled by power, lies, and calculated cruelty, silence can be weaponized. And when betrayal is staged and truth arrives too late, walking away feels safer than staying. Because sometimes, choosing nothing hurts more than choosing everything.

"Silence isn't an absence of sound; it's an abundance of secrets." "The loudest minds are often hidden behind the quietest eyes." "Every pattern has a flaw. Every mind has a hidden monster." "They don't know I'm watching." "Deception is a data point." "Listen to what isn't being said." "Some secrets are better left unanalyzed."

A standalone short story. At the northern edge of Athens, where the city loosens its grip and time begins to count differently, a former military priest returns to a place he never truly left behind. A cracked compass. A wooden horse. Objects carried across borders and years, waiting to be set down where they belong.

Some words are never sent, not because they aren't true, but because they were meant to stay. Unsent Letters is a collection of quiet thoughts, unsaid feelings, and moments that never found a voice. Written for those who feel deeply but speak softly.
