They thought she was lost. They were wrong. At twelve, Arielle survives on instinct, silence, and strength sharpened by pain. When violence finally puts her in the system's spotlight, the family that buried her is forced to face the truth-she was never weak, never broken, and never waiting to be rescued. This is not a story about saving a girl. It's about a girl who survived-and a family that must learn how to deserve her.

Silence killed her mother. Debt sold her body. And vengeance kept her alive. After her father brings his mistress and child into their home, Elara's world shatters. The betrayal slowly destroys her mother and when death finally comes, Elara is left alone in a house that no longer wants her. Years later, she is sold to settle a debt and dragged into the ruthless underworld of La Sombra Roja, a mafia empire where mercy does not exist. But Elara is not broken, only waiting. As a merciless mafia boss claims control of her fate, she learns the language of power, silence, and survival. Caught between cruelty and consent, fear and desire, Elara must decide how far she is willing to go to avenge her mother and reclaim herself. This is not a love story. This is a debt that must be paid.

Nostalgia. Goddess of memories. And the memory that ripped her mother apart. - An etiological story inspired by Greek myth. I wrote it for my Classical Mythology class and I'm really proud of it so I wanted to publish it here.

Marosika "Marzi" grew up thinking she was just another girl in Duskhaven-a city of dazzling lights and whispered shadows, where secrets and crime thrived. In the Uppercity, for a while, she had a family: a father, mother, and older brother, flawed but meant to love her. Then, at five years old, everything changed. A bite from a star-spider infused her with cosmic energy, rewriting her very being. Stardust coursed through her veins-wild, uncontrollable, and dangerous. One careless spark injured her brother. Months later, another flare ignited a fire that claimed her father's life. Blame replaced love. Her mother's grief twisted into rage, her brother's pain hardened into rejection. Cast out, branded a monster, Marzi fled into the streets-alone, unwanted, and afraid. Then she met Caleb Prime, a ruthless crime lord who saw not a child, but a weapon. Under him, Marzi was forged in darkness-obedient, violent, and unrecognizable. Raised in the Undercity of Duskheaven, Marzi's innocence was shattered, her life forged in shadows. Now she moves between Duskhaven's glittering Uppercity and its ruthless Undercity-a girl caught between two worlds; the Uppercity she no longer belongs to, and the Undercity that claimed her soul. Her stardust powers are both her greatest strength and deepest curse. Haunted by loss and betrayal, she is one of the city's most dangerous-and most broken-antiheroes. This is the story of a girl betrayed and molded by cruelty, reborn in chaos-where every spark of stardust carries pain, power, and the threat of what she might become.

She met him online and mistook attention for love. When he invited her to Los Angeles for the holidays, she believed she was walking into a dream, a city of lights, passion, and promises. But behind the penthouses and champagne nights was a man who ruled with pride, wealth, and cruelty disguised as charm. She came from humility, He came from excess. Instead of lifting her up, he made her feel small. Instead of loving her gently, he reminded her every day that she didn't belong in his world.

I've been drowning in a world that feels like it doesn't see me. Days blur together in pain, anxiety, and depression so heavy I can barely breathe. I've watched life slip through my hands, fought battles inside myself that nobody else even notices, and carried burdens that feel impossible to put down. I've been misdiagnosed, medicated into near nothingness, spiraled into darkness that almost claimed me, and yet here I am - still breathing. I've felt the pull of pills, substances, and moments so raw that every breath felt like a fight. I've been alone in small apartments, on blow-up mattresses, barely eating, barely moving, barely surviving. I've watched the system fail me, friends drift away, family stay distant, and yet still I fight. Every panic, every cry, every sleepless night - I've carried it all, and I write it down because someone has to see it. Someone has to feel it. This is a story of survival in silence, of battling inner demons nobody else sees, of raw, unfiltered truth. No edits. No sugarcoating. Just pain, struggle, hope, and the fight to exist in a world that feels like it wants me gone. If you've ever felt unseen, unheard, or broken, this is for you.
