This is a one-of a kind story, highlighting all the struggles that a multi talented person has to go through. The main character of this story is Ananya Narayanan. ----------------------- They told me to choose- Scalpels or spotlight, white coat or stage light, A heart that heals or a soul that sings. But what if I was born with both? I walk the ward in scrubs by day, But my spirit moves when no one sees- In every rhythm, every breath I take, I honor both my callings equally. So no, I didn't take the road not taken- I built a bridge and walked across. And that- That made all the difference. ---------------------------------------- Disclaimer: Based on real life incidents All rights reserved to the author

Ella Quinn didn't plan on becoming a ghost, just ended up that way. Ghostwriting her stolen thesis. Ghosting dates that turned to disasters. Ghosting the version of herself who trusted too easily. Her ex-boyfriend Alex is thriving off the academic work he claimed as his own. His new girlfriend is shiny and perfect and entirely unbothered by ethics. Ella's once-promising future is stuck in limbo, dictated by bad advisors, worse funding, and the tiny, sharp voice in her head that won't shut up about everything she's lost. Then there's "N." An anonymous message. A question about AI. A connection she didn't ask for but slowly begins to crave. Whoever he is, he listens. He challenges her. He sees the brilliance no one else bothers to notice anymore.

Running away from her problems to England, Beth gets to work and meets a new man that might just take up her time enough to have her forget about the old flame. Just as one love ends another can begin, but leaving it all behind doesn't mean it still isn't there.

One office. Tree Days to get the job done. And to make it even worse - I have to work with my biggest enemy. Mia is a team lead at a software development startup. She doesn't just love her job - she also adores all of her coworkers. And even more importantly, everyone loves her back. Everyone except Noah. He's another team lead at the company, and he seems completely immune to her friendliness. Mia has no idea why, but no matter how hard she tries, befriending him has been utterly impossible. Normally, that's not much of an issue. They only cross paths occasionally. And when they do, it's as if they've made an unspoken agreement: keep as much distance as humanly possible. But then a mistake forces them to spend the next 72 hours working together. In the same office. A nightmare for both of them ... or maybe something else?

Sanctuary. That was what the quarantine dome was supposed to be, a place of refuge from the N-Gel and the deadly Neoplague they unleashed on the world. But we aren't safe here. Senna is uprooted from her rural life in the outer dome when her mother agrees to marry the President of Sanctuary. It was supposed to be a Cinderella story, but Senna can't stand the health and status obsessed city. Her only escape comes from repairing an antique piece of wireless tech, an endeavor that is seemingly hopeless due to the interference that reduced such tech useless after the invasion. Senna believes that if she can get the device to work, she can use it to contact the life she left behind. However, it isn't her old life she reaches when she gets the device to power on. Instead she catches the SOS of a little girl who claims to be held captive in the toxic world outside of the dome. The girl offers a reward for her rescue-the cure for the plague that forced humanity into quarantine and took Senna's father from her.
