Introspection Stories

The dead hand of history still grips the throat of the present. Three centuries after a meteor shower struck Earth, humanity is divided between the powered and the originals. One group changed. One did not. In the years that followed, a virus killed billions, twisted the natural world into something monstrous, and gave fear a shape to blame. The powered have carried that blame ever since. Collared, controlled, and sent beyond the city walls, they are forced to fight the mutations that roam the wilds while the originals stay safe behind the walls. Ezra, a doctor, refuses to accept the world's clean divisions. He treats anyone who needs him, believing every life has value, even in a city built on deciding otherwise. When one act of mercy toward a stranger pulls him into a hidden war, Ezra begins to uncover the truth buried beneath generations of fear. Tension between originals and powered reach a breaking point, and Ezra faces a choice that could alter the course of humanity. One where the line between saving and destroying becomes increasingly blurred.

With the threat of Spectre now behind them and the echoes of the battle on that fateful Christmas Eve at Mali-U died down, for Sam and Ricky the future is no longer a mirage, but a daily challenge. In this second season, the bond between the Spies and the Chimera Squad evolves into an unbreakable bond, blending adrenaline-fueled action with the harsh and ironic reality of everyday life. Between lively breakfasts and a far from simple coexistence, the protagonists will discover that defeating a villain is nothing compared to learning to live together. But the past hasn't finished taking its toll: from a leaden Rome to the secrets buried between Puglia and Sicily, ghosts and unfinished business resurface. New loves, old grudges, and the search for a hard-to-find normality, on a journey where the true mission is to save themselves from their own memories.

Why do dreams occur at night? And what do they symbolize? Are they fragments of an existing Multiverse? Or are they just mere creations of our own intense feelings and emotions? The question that even modern science failed to answer. Meet Kaizen Mizuki, an ordinary high schooler living an extraordinary nightmare. By day, he survives classrooms, bullying, and the quiet weight of expectations pressing down on him from every direction. By night, his sleep fractures into something far stranger, dreams that feel too real, spaces that exist between waking and reality, and fears that take shape and speak back. At first, they are only dreams. Then they begin to follow him. As Kaizen drifts through liminal worlds where logic bends and fear becomes tangible, he learns that sleep is not an escape, but a doorway. What begins as psychological horror slowly unfolds into something vast, astral travel, higher dimensions, and cosmic beings that do not hate humanity... yet are willing to erase it without hesitation. While galaxies burn and universes tremble beyond human perception, Kaizen still wakes up for school. He still laughs with friends. He still falls in love. Aoi, a girl who is playful, teasing, and painfully human towards him becomes his anchor to a normal life, even as Kaizen is pulled further away from it. Between awkward lunches, quiet walks, and moments of fragile romance, he carries a truth no one else can see, that reality itself is unstable, and he may be the only one standing between the boundary of existence and collapse. This is a slow burn story, blending slice-of-life warmth with psychological tension, scientific curiosity, and cosmic horror, Liminal Drift is a story about crossing boundaries, between dreams and waking, fear and courage, love and responsibility. Because sometimes, survival isn't just about saving the universe... It's about choosing to face it, even when the cost is everything... - P.S- Images in this story are all AI generated

Elena Carter has never been uncertain about who she is. She observes. She listens. She decides - carefully, deliberately, without needing to explain herself to anyone. Adrian Blake builds his world the same way he approaches everything else - with structure, precision, and control. Every decision has a reason. Every step has a purpose. They come from families that understand ambition, expectation, and the quiet weight of both - where choices are rarely simple, and nothing exists in isolation. In a world where most things are negotiated, calculated, or assumed, they are the kind of people who still pause. Still question. Still choose. This is not a story about being carried by circumstance or pulled into something inevitable. It is about what happens when clarity meets expectation. When instinct resists what makes sense. When two people who are used to deciding for themselves are asked to consider something that was never entirely theirs to begin with. And the quiet, deliberate choices that follow.

A raw representation of the inside of my head, the contents of my heart, the story of my life. If you find pieces of yourself in these pages, perhaps they were meant for you too.

Sometimes you think you're getting better, when really you're just teaching yourself to live inside a pattern- a loop. Then you pray to escape it, as if it was unavoidable, even though you know it wasn't. The silent art of being in denial.

A mature man navigating loneliness, friendship, and the quiet absurdity of ordinary Sundays. Because adulthood turns out to be less dramatic than expected. Or does it?

I thought staying was enough. That if something felt right, it would become right. But some connections don't fail loudly. They just... don't choose you. This isn't a dramatic story. It's about realizing that presence is not intention, that courage doesn't guarantee you'll be chosen, and that sometimes, the quietest decision-leaving-is the one that finally brings you peace.

Like sunlight filtering through leaves, emotions hit me in scattered, confusing patches. Some spots are warm; most are entirely cold. A collection of thoughts from an outsider looking in, trying to find a reason to step out of the shadows

Synopsis: Limerence is not just a love story. It's a series of misfortunate events that lead us to becoming. It's a story about recognition. About what happens when the universe orchestrates something too precise to be coincidence, when two people meet not by accident but by design. It's about a reckoning and the rupture that follows. It's about reverence. Set against the backdrop of soft nights and silent mornings, of city lights and heartbeats in dark rooms, Limerence follows a bond that blurs the line between fate and fantasy. Their love exists in fragments, in glances, in silence, in the ache of what can't be said. It's intimate, disarming, and deeply human. But love, like seasons, shifts. And sometimes the most profound connections are the ones that leave us. They haunt us. They shape us. They teach us how to hold on and how to let go. It's also a reflection on the quiet betrayals that unfold in the name of friendship. On the violence that lingers in the rooms where someone should have already left. Sometimes the people we tether ourselves to begin to rot the very places meant to hold love. And by the time we realize it, we've already bruised the hands reaching out to save us. This is a story for anyone who's ever touched something sacred, fleeting, and real. Even if only for a moment. A song for every soft ache, illusion, and unraveling.

A shard is what remains after something breaks. Not a ruin - a fragment. Irregular, autonomous, complete in itself. Each poem in this collection is a shard: born from a passing image, a sound, a silence - caught before it vanished. No architecture. No continuity. Only the moment of fracture, held still. Silver the Hedgehog moves through each one. He does not explain them. He inhabits them.
