Everyone Thought I Was Strong — Here’s What They Didn’t See
Everyone Thought I Was Strong. They said it was a fact, not an opinion. As if strength was something visible, measurable — something you could verify by looking at me. I kept a job. I showed up on time. I laughed at jokes. I listened when people talked. I didn’t stand out in public.

My Husband Died Twice—Once in the Hospital, Once in Our Bedroom
The first time my husband died, there were machines all around him. They spoke softly, rhythmically, as if they were trying to convince everyone in the room that life was still going on. The doctor spoke in careful sentences, the nurses avoided my eyes, and I stood there holding his hand, waiting for something to change.

The Lone Mouse
A lone mouse scurries through a vast, desolate desert landscape under an awakening twilight sky. The sand dunes are sculpted by wind into abstract, flowing forms. In the distance, the silhouette of a broken, geometric structure hints at an ancient civilization. There is a dramatic contrast of chiaroscuro lighting, emphasizing deep shadows and stark highlights... a highly detailed concept art style.

A Heart Worth Saving

Guardian Angels Prologue
Moonlight slanted across the page, covered in Jwellenna’s elegant handwriting. She wiped at her cheek, and sighed as the movement smeared ink across her face. She set her quill down and reached for a cloth to wipe her face.

Runemaster 10
(Click here to read the previous chapter) Nyssha narrowed her eyes at the glowing text before her, wondering where it had come from. At first, she thought she must've snapped from the stress of this little adventure. But the message reminded her of the disembodied voice that had spoken to her when the little god tried to control her. Either way, it was probably worth considering.

Revenge is a Dish For Two 1.1
Otsana Argyros did not have a wolf. She was a shifter, for sure; both of her parents came from lines of Betas and Alphas for as far back as anyone could remember. She looked just like her parents - tall, imposing, and with the hooked nose that had plagued her mother’s side of the family for generations. But she had yet to shift or even to feel the beast inside her. Her senses were heightened, yes, but otherwise, she might as well be a human.
