My Mind Is Loud… But My Lips Stay Silent
On the outside, I look calm. That’s what people say. “Quiet.” “Composed.” “Easygoing.” They don’t see the noise.

Midnight Bus
The bus doors opened with a long metallic sigh, even though no one had pressed the stop button. For a moment, I stood on the empty sidewalk wondering if I had imagined it. The streetlights flickered softly above me, and the road stretched into darkness like an unanswered question. I had been waiting for nearly thirty minutes, and the city around me had already fallen asleep.

The Secret Number That Runs Reality
It started with a misdial. Dr. Elara Kim was running late to her lab, juggling three coffee cups and a tablet full of equations no human had ever solved. The numbers weren’t supposed to exist—they were theoretical, abstract, almost laughably impossible. Yet here they were, forming a pattern in the quantum noise, repeating like a cosmic dial tone.

When She Was Thirteen. Content Warning.
It began with an unintelligible voice. At the door, Luz had only said something trivial that morning. “It’s going to rain this afternoon.”

For years, they were able to hide in plain sight. That time was over. Now they were forced into hiding underground—hiding in tunnels that had been abandoned long before their children were born.

Alice in the Afterworld. Content Warning.
"BOOM-BOOM". That's the first sound that I heard when I woke up. My body was vibrating, and I had the feeling like I was shaking, even though I know my body was as still as a statue.

Nothing but Gray. AI-Generated.
At first, nobody really noticed. It was little things. A stop sign looked kind of off, like it had been sitting in the sun too long. A little faded, maybe.

The Darkest Side Of The Moon,
The Darkest Side Of The Moon, There was never anything comforting about the moon after that night. People look up and see something distant, something quiet, but they only ever see the part that allows itself to be seen. No one talks about the other side, the part that never turns, the part that keeps itself hidden. I did not think about it either, not until it found its way into my life without asking.

Magic - Chapter Two
Author's note: Today, my stream of consciousness flows easily without having to think through the story. Therefore, I am letting my subconscious do the work. I am writing this after writing the following, which you will soon read, and I want to mention that everything I have written so far is purely from my subconscious mind. I have not planned the plot, especially what will happen in today's chapter; you will wonder if I have planned this particular incident. The answer is 'No, I have not'. To be honest, it just came into my mind rather abruptly as I was writing, and that's how the subconscious usually works. I hope you understand what I am saying. If you don't, I recommend you read the book The Power of Your Subconscious Mind by Joseph Murphy.

Tempest of Iron Tides
The Gathering Storm The ocean had always belonged to no one—and yet, men had tried for centuries to claim it. Captain Elian Voss stood at the prow of the warship Aegis Valor, his coat snapping in the rising wind. Before him stretched an endless expanse of darkening water, the horizon swallowed by a wall of storm clouds. The air smelled of salt, oil, and something metallic—like the promise of blood.
