Short story about how insomnia feels for me.

Meet Aiden. A 13 year old surface boy. His life was pretty messy. In his life, he ad a set of rules. Feelings suck, always on look out, never make friends. He was pretty brash and harsh and was never afraid to show sarcasm. Never make friends. His number 1 rule. And one thing about him...He's a half-mute. He has the DNA of a spider inside him. His life was messy and was basically the rudest thing there was...But what would happen if he met a certain purple jaguar girl who is the exact opposite? How would he change for the better? How would he unlock the full potential of the spider? And most importantly...could he connect again with a feeling he lost long ago? And will he help Kipo with her journey as she helps him?

"Maybe losing everything was the only way I could find you." After losing his memories in a tragic accident, Sim Jaeyun is left to rebuild a life that never quite feels like his own. For two years, he lives quietly, keeping people at a distance and trying not to think too hard about the emptiness inside him. Then he meets Lee Heeseung, a stranger whose quiet warmth begins to soften the lonely routine Jaeyun has grown used to. But some memories refuse to stay buried. And as fragments of Jaeyun's forgotten past slowly begin resurfacing, he is forced to confront the truth about who he was, what he lost, and why someone once wanted him gone. Start: 19.05.26 End: -

The blue light of a phone screen is the only thing keeping the dark away. To the rest of the world, Kael is doing just fine. He functions publicly, makes music, and laughs off his problems. But inside, his insomnia and quiet isolation are slowly eating him alive. He is addicted to being needed, yet entirely alone. Then there is Mira. She is smart, overworked, and running on fumes as she plays the second parent in a chaotic household. She secretly fears that the moment she stops trying, everyone will forget she even exists. They have never met in real life. They don't know each other's last names or what street they live on. But through late-night conversations and raw, unlabeled audio clips, they accidentally become each other's emotional lifeline. They are completely naked emotionally behind a screen, yet total strangers passing by in the cold city rain. Until the clock strikes 2:17 AM. One night, Mira vanishes. No warning. No messages. No online status. Just a single grey checkmark left on a screen. As Kael spirals into a silent panic, the city suddenly begins to feel haunted. Anonymous drafts appear and disappear in their shared notes app. Her favorite songs play in the background of diners he frequents. Someone is watching him from the shadows. But the most dangerous mystery lies within Kael himself. The psychological novel he has been secretly writing starts predicting real-world events a little too accurately-leaving him to wonder if he is uncovering a dark truth, or completely losing his mind. In a world where digital intimacy hides physical distance, how far would you go to find a ghost who is still alive?

In the high contrast world of fashion photography, Luna Young is a master of focus, frame, and distance. She doesn't do personal space, and she certainly doesn't do "sweet." But when she's forced to trade her digital lens for raw clay, she finds herself under the steady gaze of Damon Yildiz. He is the opposite of her curated symmetry; warm, earthy, and relentlessly patient. Between the quiet hum of the wheel and the intimacy of the studio, Damon begins to chip away at the walls Luna built to survive. To find her center, Luna will have to break her rules and discover that some connections are worth the mess of falling.

The voice of those who struggle to express themselves...

Prophetic power was one I could have gone without just fine. Even before I was born, snapshots of the future constantly plagued my mind. Paris shooting down Achilles. Alexander the Great's reign. Joan of Arc's death. Vincent Van Gogh. Boy, was it confusing when I saw Sombr for the first time. Anyways, most of those snapshots had been tragedies-which isn't all that surprising. The Greeks invented tragedy. But it's safe to say that I had no love for prophecy. Especially not after the whole Python ordeal. It had been three years since my trials as Lester Papadoupolos. Meg's fifteenth birthday was coming up soon, and Lityerses had turned "twenty" last week. Georgina had hit the double-digits last month (No, I did not tear up-shut up, Meg). Percy and Annabeth would be finishing their final year of college soon, and Will and Nico would be starting their first. Everything was peaceful. So imagine my surprise when my beloved Oracle of Delphi possessed me in front of the entire council.

Death was the curse that went for everybody, whether they were happy prior, or sad prior, with no exception for the gay fifteen-year-old, who hadn't even gotten to experienced a first love, and knowing that death would soon consume whatever was left of his mortal body, it was hard to sleep at night.

This is kind of just a plethora of my thoughts over the years, a little snapshot of my perspective on life. It may not be structured, but its entirely true. My goal with this collection of stories is to show people that they are not alone, and that someone may be struggling with something similar. I'm open to topics to talk about, to share my opinion on. I don't know how long this one will be, that's a story for another time. So, for now, happy reading.

In a small town filled with gossip, family secrets, and teenagers trying too hard to act older than they are, the two of them keep finding each other in the quiet moments between classes, late-night drives, and three-song walks to school.
