Sorrow Stories

One lesson I learned very early in life was to be cheerful, to be agreeable, to do as I was told and ask for nothing, and to never ever complain. Smile Maddie. Be happy Maddie. Don't make trouble and maybe they'll love you. I grew into an adult who took care of others and never expected that those I loved would take care of me in return. I gave and never asked, never expected, never demanded. Smile Maddie. Be happy Maddie. Don't make trouble and you'll find someone that will love you. And then one day, a Dragon walked into my workplace and turned my world upside down with a single wink. Having grown up watching his father treat his men like they were disposable, just meat bags to be fed into the grinder, Dragon was determined to be different when he became president of the Dragon's Inferno MC. He cares about his people. He takes care of them. He was upfront with me, taking care of his MC and those he considered to be his would always be his priority. And I agreed to that, I joined him in that mission, throwing myself into becoming the perfect old lady of the prez. Smile Maddie. Act happy Maddie. Take care of them and maybe they'll love you. Smile Maddie. Be happy Maddie. Don't complain and maybe he'll love you. I told myself I was independent. I was strong. And I didn't need my Dragon to take care of me. And I almost believed it. Almost. But now I'm watching him with her. I'm watching him comfort her. I'm watching him listen to her, support her, reassure her. I'm watching him take time from his day to check in with her. I'm watching him worry about her. I'm watching them become closer right in front of my eyes. I'm seeing every thoughtful gesture he does for her. And me? I'm not happy. I'm not smiling. I'm done being agreeable. Fuck not causing trouble. I'm about to set my Dragon's world on fire. And then I'm walking away. She can have him. For the first time in my life, I'm choosing myself.

My Last Rites My Brother Performed My Last Rites While I Was Still Alive. At fifteen, I was called a monster for a crime I never committed. My family performed my last rites and declared me dead while I was still alive. I begged them to stop. No one listened. I begged them to believe me. No one did. At sixteen, I watched the same ritual with numb detachment. At seventeen, I stopped caring. At eighteen, I watched it with amusement. Because I knew... It would be the last of my last rites I would ever witness. I laughed. Because I knew the next funeral would be real.

For while we are still in this tent, we groan under our burden, because we wish not to be unclothed but to be further clothed, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life. He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who has given us the Spirit as a guarantee. - 2 Corinthians 5:4-5

Some wounds never show on the skin. Grace carries hers quietly. The past has left pieces of her life scattered behind her memories she cannot escape, losses she cannot undo, and nights when simply getting through the next morning feels like too much to ask. She has learned to keep her distance, to swallow the words that tremble at the back of her throat, and to let the world mistake her silence for strength. Then she meets someone who refuses to look away. Iris is nothing like her, where she retreats, he reaches closer; where she leaves questions unanswered, he waits. Their conversations begin with hesitation, linger longer than they should, and leave behind a tension neither of them knows what to do with. Somewhere between the silences, the arguments, and the moments neither of them has the courage to name, Grace begins to wonder if a heart bruised by life can still make room for something gentle. Because what grows between them isn't simply love. It is the quiet warmth of being seen. The slow mending of something once thought beyond repair. A connection that teaches a suffering heart how to breathe again.

A young knight in the Golden Age with a beautiful future seemingly set in stone. The wealth, the prestige, the grandeur, everything lay before him. If only he hadn't fallen into the trap of fate. But life has always been a basket of sorrow, punctuated by fleeting moments of happiness here and there. And it was in those rare moments that hope, in the form of unrequited love, began to take root in his heart. A love that would heal him, transform him into a healer, and make his discoveries save lives for centuries to come. A love that would later haunt him and pull him into the depths of sorrow forever. The Fire That Cools is a story of bravery, love, innovation, and self-discovery, set in Bilad al-Sharq, a flourishing empire during the Islamic Golden Age. It is the story of a discovery that would one day give countless people a reason to live. It is the story of fulfilling a promise, even if it meant doing something that had never been accomplished before.

Behind a flawlessly maintained facade of Transatlantic sophistication and a razor-sharp smile, the feared Radio Demon, Alastor, hides a profound, debilitating sorrow. While he plays his sinister, larger-than-life persona to perfection during the day at the Hazbin Hotel, the silence of midnight brings his walls crumbling down. In the isolation of his radio tower, he fractures into a broken man, crushed by the agonizing guilt of a traumatic childhood memory where he failed to protect his beloved mother from his abusive father. When Lucifer Morningstar, battling his own insomnia, accidentally discovers Alastor at his absolute lowest, the King of Hell chooses empathy over mockery. Rather than forcing a confrontation, Lucifer quietly alters his behavior over the next few months-dropping subtle hints that he is a safe, non-judgmental confidant. This unexpected kindness eventually forces a raw, explosive confrontation between the two powerful entities. What follows is a deeply moving exploration of vulnerability, as Lucifer orchestrates a miraculous, deeply personal surprise that ultimately helps Alastor confront his past, shatter his isolation, and form an unlikely, life-changing bond of true friendship.

A young teenage girl, haunted by the memories of her father's execution, attempts to escape a cruel regime by night. A solitary woman, abandoned by her husband, inadvertently plays into the cruel hands of 'the state'. In another totalitarian regime a traffic light fixer is dealt with brutally for admiring a sunset. All these characters capture the essence of what it's like to be disempowered and cruelly dehumanised at the hands of a heinous, corrupt power. This sharp collection of pertinent short stories throws an at times uncomfortable light on cruelty, injustice and persecution that is all too relevant today. But ultimately these stories celebrate the strength and determination to survive at all costs, that exists within all of us.
