Activism Stories

Two worlds collide - and the sparks could save them both. Meet Mattie Saunders, a fierce, outspoken young woman with a soft spot for wounded wings and wild hearts. She runs the Saunders Exotic Bird Sanctuary, a haven for abandoned and neglected birds. But with funds running out, Mattie's sense of mission faces extinction-until she takes a desperate chance and reaches out to the one man she swore she'd never ask for anything: Bodine, the infamous lead guitarist of chart-topping rock band Seditious. Bodine-rich, reckless, and restless-has lived every rock 'n' roll cliché. Fame, fortune, excess... he's done it all, and now it all feels hollow. When Mattie storms into his world demanding help for her birds, he's drawn in by her fire, her honesty-and the one creature he still cares about, his Blue and Gold Macaw. As Mattie and Bodine's worlds crash together, tension turns to attraction, and attraction turns to something neither of them expects. But love isn't easy when your past is louder than your heart-and when saving others might be the only way to save yourself. The Rocker and the Bird Girl is a gripping story of love, redemption, and second chances set against the backdrop of glitter and grit. With passion, wit, and insight, it explores what happens when two lost souls discover that sometimes, helping another fly is the only way to find your own wings.

In the Philippines, justice isn't just a blind lady with a scale; she's often a woman with her hand out under the table. From government corridors where speed money fuels progress to high-rise offices where laws are mere suggestions for the elite, the system doesn't just bend-it shatters. It is a country where the padrino system dictates who eats and who starves, and where the rule of law is frequently overruled by the rule of the wealthy. Katani Faith Gomez doesn't just see the cracks in this foundation; she lives in them. Every jeepney ride past gated subdivisions built on quiet corruption makes her blood simmer. She hates how permits need fixers and how the poor are silenced before court. That anger pushed her into Legal Management, determined to one day to be the one holding the gavel, and be the one who finally makes the system blink. But Katani is a realist. To her, the dream of becoming a lawyer feels like a cruel joke-a carrot dangled by a system designed to keep her exactly where she is. Not until her world tilts when an unfamiliar man walks into the humid, overcrowded halls of her university. He is everything Katani despises. He is the personification of the privilege that bypasses the hurdles she hits every day. Why someone like him would leave the air-conditioned ivory towers of the elite for the peeling paint of a state college is a mystery she isn't sure she wants to solve. As their paths cross over studies and protests, Katani finds her resentment warring with a dangerous curiosity. He represents the very system she wants to dismantle, yet his presence forces her to face a terrifying reality: to change the law, she might have to step into the world of those who break it. In a society where the scales are rigged from birth, can a girl with nothing but a righteous rage truly tip the balance, or is the system simply waiting to swallow her whole?

The Cat's Origins is a contemporary revision of the traditional fairy tale Puss in Boots, based on the Grimm Brothers Puss in Boots. In my version, the cat uses its intelligence for the collective benefit through activism to save the nearby forest.

In the quiet outskirts of 1970s Thailand, hidden beyond crowded streets and rain-soaked alleyways, stands a small flower shop beneath a wooden sign: All Flowers Reside Here. By day, it is filled with the scent of jasmine, damp wood, and freshly cut lilies. By night, it stands at the center of a string of murders connected to a case the police buried years ago. Police Captain Wongravee Nateetorn is dangerously observant, painfully young, and the youngest investigator assigned to the division. When he goes undercover to uncover the truth behind a series of carefully staged killings marked by flowers and symbolic arrangements, he expects suspects, lies, and blood. He does not expect the florist. Quiet. Precise. Gentle in ways that feel almost unnatural. A man who notices too much. A man who keeps his grief arranged as carefully as his bouquets. A man who has spent years doing terrible things for reasons he believes were necessary. As suspicion slowly becomes familiarity, and familiarity becomes something far more intimate, Wongravee finds himself caught between duty and understanding. Because beneath the murders lies something larger than a serial case-an old corruption protected by power, buried evidence, and violence disguised as justice. And somewhere along the way, two men standing on opposite sides of the same crime begin finding comfort in each other's silence. One is haunted by what he failed to save. The other by what he had to become to protect the people left behind. Woven through murder investigations, psychological trauma, hidden flower meanings, and the quiet ache of survival, their story becomes a question neither man knows how to answer: When violence becomes the only way to keep living, what part of a person is left afterward?

"I thought yetis were... hogwash." Happy-go-lucky Danian is surfing in Bali during term break when he finds himself smitten with Indira, a fervent climate activist. Eager to impress her and learn the true purpose of his life, he agrees to help find her Buddhist mentor Kenzo. Together with cocky police recruit Tammy and tech-wit Naoto, they soon find themselves travelling through an ancient teleportation system and trekking the majestic Himalayas. In a vacated monastery, they bump into slow-texting, soul-hungry Morfitt and soon encounter more magical monsters lurking in the recesses of their reality. As Danian traverses the eroding demarcation line between bleeding-edge science and ancient spiritual wisdom, he's forced to grow up to a life-altering challenge. Then flash floods cast Jakarta into chaos, and millions disappear. Finally, it dawns on the four friends that Kenzo's disappearance is inextricably linked to the fate of humanity at large.

Just a rant in support of Black Lives Matter

The world wanted quiet. It got a riot instead. The school called it policy. They called it war. One boy is trapped in a mind that has betrayed him. The other is an artist who stopped sketching and started swinging. But if the world will label them as villains, they might as well give them a reason to be afraid.

A short story exploring the connection between an autistic boy and... a cherry tree? My first piece published on Wattpad! I know it's not fanfiction, so any support of this story would mean the world to me!

There is so much happening in this world. There are great things but also horrible, tragic things. Let's talk about it.

This is not just a story-it's a space. A space where I share the things I've faced, the things I've seen, and the things no one talks about. I am a science student, not a politician, but sometimes injustice feels so heavy that silence is impossible. Here, I write openly about what hurts, what feels unfair, and what I dream could change. This is a safe place: if you read my thoughts, do share yours too. If you think I'm wrong, correct me-I am learning. But if you feel the same, let's stand together. Because even small voices can carry far when they speak the truth.

"They call us exhibits. Today, we fight back." Tevera, a young orca, was taken from her home in the wild and forced to perform in the dazzling-but cruel-Highwater Oceanarium. Surrounded by other captive marine animals, she navigates a world of bright lights, strict trainers, and endless shows, all while dreaming of freedom. As she forms fragile bonds with Kato, Flora, and other creatures, Tevera begins to notice strange patterns in the water: waves that rise when she panics, currents that shift with the emotions of the animals, storms that brew with group movements of whales. The longer the ocean's prisoners are held, the more the seas themselves seem to suffer. With every show, every confinement, and every forced trick, Tevera realizes that their captivity is more than a personal tragedy-it could affect the fate of the entire ocean. Determined to escape, she must rally her fellow animals and confront the humans who control not only their lives but the very balance of Earth's waters.
