The Mystery of Inner Speech
It might not be surprising that writers often give superheroes, aliens, and magical beings the power of telepathy. Just think about how much you could learn about someone if you could hear their thoughts. However, not everyone experiences this kind of inner monologue, which psychologists call “inner speech.” Even those who do might not be hearing their thoughts constantly.

Mystery of Reincarnation
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, eating bats and marveling at your own pale skin, you’ve probably heard of the legendary lost city of Atlantis. Said to have existed around 11,500 years ago, Atlantis was a utopian society, supposedly founded by demigods. The island was rich in gold, silver, precious metals, and exotic wildlife. Over time, the Atlanteans developed into a powerful naval force and an advanced civilization. However, in a story that’s all too familiar, they grew greedy and morally corrupt. The gods responded by sending a night of catastrophic destruction, with earthquakes and volcanic eruptions so intense they sank Atlantis to the ocean floor, never to be seen again. Unlike the city itself, the legend lives on, thanks to the philosopher Plato, who first told this story around 360 BC. Unfortunately, his writings are the only records we have of this tragic event. It’s like one of those situations where you’re stuck next to some guy at a wedding who won’t stop telling you how he invented memory foam, but NASA stole the idea from him when he was drunk. It’s highly unlikely, but you just can’t disprove it.

Whispers in the Dark
There was a story whispered among the locals. It wasn’t something you'd read in the newspaper or hear on the radio; it was passed from ear to ear, growing darker each time. The legend was known as The Watcher of Rivermoor.

The Summer We Found Ourselves
It was the summer before senior year, the last real summer of freedom before life would start pulling us in a million different directions.

Wings of the Phoenix: A Journey of Rebirth
In the heart of ancient mythology, few symbols resonate as powerfully as the phoenix—a bird of radiant beauty, known for its cycle of death and rebirth. This mystical creature, consumed by flames only to rise anew from its ashes, serves as a timeless emblem of renewal, transformation, and the triumph of life over death. In many ways, the story of the phoenix mirrors the human experience, where adversity, loss, and failure are not endpoints but catalysts for profound change and growth.

Half-Blood Royalty | Severus Snapes' Daughter & Harry Potter's Younger Sister
This story, although associated with Harry Potter (I don't own the story or characters whatsoever - this is strictly just a fanfiction. I originally got this idea through the idea of "shifting" and decided to write out scenes in book form on Wattpad.), will not play a part with the canon universe of the books or movies. This story is indeed a fanfiction where Lily and Severus had a friendship/relationship that wasn't severed due to that day at Hogwarts when Severus called Lily a mudblood (in this "universe", although The Marauders and Severus still don't get along whatsoever, that moment never occured - it's my fanfiction, it's how I made this story made sense). Another thing about this fanfiction/non-canon storyline is that all children of deatheaters automatically get the "dark mark" at the age of fifteen. No matter what. I know it's not exactly how it went down in the books, but I just felt like it'd be the perfect way for Voldemort to keep growing his army... because obviously why would the villain rely on getting people to join him when he can simply use a little trick of his wand and automatically get the children of his followers to immediately be a part of his alliance. Plus, this theory fits so well to why he always had the same families in his pocket and I kind of don't hate this "headcanon/theory" at all.

Affinity Man. Honorable Mention in The Shape of the Thing Challenge.
Act I – The Struggle Theo adjusted his thick glasses and tried to keep up as chalk screeched across the board. The lecture hall was a sterile box of fluorescent light and endless note-scribbling. Professor Lascola’s voice cut through the air like a scalpel.
