Cliffhanger

Glitchborn
Eli’s body was gone. His mind—his very existence—had been ripped from the code, from the city, from reality itself. And in its place… something else woke up.

Darkness surrounded me as my eyes desperately darted all around. Left, right, up down... nothing but an blackened abyss of nothingness.

Familiar Strangers - Chapter 9
Chapter 9 Andrea (POV) I still couldn't believe what had just happened between Cassey and me. The office was silent, thick with guilt pressing down on me. I was still in the same position Cassey had left me in, slumped over my desk, absently kicking at it. The moment we had shared was intense, consuming, and the way Cassey had kissed me... God, I still wanted her. I wanted her so bad it had physically hurt at the sound of my phone ringing.

Familiar Strangers - Chapter 7
Chapter 7 Cassey (P.O.V) "Do you like it?" Andrea asked again. I couldn't believe this was happening. Today's photo was more complex than the one from yesterday. It was the one from the day we realized we were more than just friends. This one was larger, framed and almost filling two-fifths of the wall above my desk.

Familiar Stranger - Chapter 5
Chapter 5 Cassey (P.O.V) Days blurred into weeks. It was my fifth week as Andrea's assistant, and the surprising thing was, she never once mentioned our past. It was as if it had never happened. A strange mix of relief and disappointment settled within me. Relief that I didn't have to constantly navigate the minefield of our shared history, and disappointment that… well, I wasn't sure why. A part of me, a foolish, stubborn part, wanted Andrea to acknowledge it, to explain, to apologize. But she hadn't. We had fallen into a predictable boss-employee routine, a dance of polite interactions and unspoken tensions.

Mary had a little lamb . Content Warning.
The village had changed. The houses were still there, but the people were not. What remained wore their skins—smiling too wide, eyes too dull. They moved through rituals, living by the light of a sun that hadn’t risen in weeks.

"Wh... what??" My voice trembled as I stared in shock at my mother with the ring in my hands as my gaze moved to the deep red stone on it.

The Life of Levi Rupp: Part 5
Levi was finishing his shift and wanted to walk home, a chance to air out the struggles of his recent events from Silas, from the coach, and his emotional ties to Mila. “Levi, a word before you go.” It was Levi’s boss, either his schedule changed or he’s being fired due to recent budget cuts. Levi gave him a nod acknowledging him as he gathered his bag of clothes. It was a mobile office, so the space was confined, and his boss was sitting down, exhausted from the long night. “Sir.” “Ah, Levi. This won’t be long, I know you have school tomorrow so I’ll get to it.” Levi was silent, standing respectfully with his arms crossed in front of him. “Levi, I want you to take a vacation.” “A vacation?” “Yes, you always come into work, you work hard, and you never call out. You’re young and you have a lot on your plate. Take all of next week off.” “Thank you, but…” Levi’s manager raised his hand, cutting him off, “Levi, you’ll still get paid your hourly wage, but I want you to rest. Part of working is discovering balance. Now, go home and I’ll see you in a couple weeks.” Levi, smiling from the good news, thanked his boss and began his long walk home.
