Sorrow Stories

One lesson I learned very early in life was to be cheerful, to be agreeable, to do as I was told and ask for nothing, and to never ever complain. Smile Maddie. Be happy Maddie. Don't make trouble and maybe they'll love you. I grew into an adult who took care of others and never expected that those I loved would take care of me in return. I gave and never asked, never expected, never demanded. Smile Maddie. Be happy Maddie. Don't make trouble and you'll find someone that will love you. And then one day, a Dragon walked into my workplace and turned my world upside down with a single wink. Having grown up watching his father treat his men like they were disposable, just meat bags to be fed into the grinder, Dragon was determined to be different when he became president of the Dragon's Inferno MC. He cares about his people. He takes care of them. He was upfront with me, taking care of his MC and those he considered to be his would always be his priority. And I agreed to that, I joined him in that mission, throwing myself into becoming the perfect old lady of the prez. Smile Maddie. Act happy Maddie. Take care of them and maybe they'll love you. Smile Maddie. Be happy Maddie. Don't complain and maybe he'll love you. I told myself I was independent. I was strong. And I didn't need my Dragon to take care of me. And I almost believed it. Almost. But now I'm watching him with her. I'm watching him comfort her. I'm watching him listen to her, support her, reassure her. I'm watching him take time from his day to check in with her. I'm watching him worry about her. I'm watching them become closer right in front of my eyes. I'm seeing every thoughtful gesture he does for her. And me? I'm not happy. I'm not smiling. I'm done being agreeable. Fuck not causing trouble. I'm about to set my Dragon's world on fire. And then I'm walking away. She can have him. For the first time in my life, I'm choosing myself.

My Last Rites My Brother Performed My Last Rites While I Was Still Alive. At fifteen, I was called a monster for a crime I never committed. My family performed my last rites and declared me dead while I was still alive. I begged them to stop. No one listened. I begged them to believe me. No one did. At sixteen, I watched the same ritual with numb detachment. At seventeen, I stopped caring. At eighteen, I watched it with amusement. Because I knew... It would be the last of my last rites I would ever witness. I laughed. Because I knew the next funeral would be real.

After losing the love of her life, Safeeya's world falls apart overnight. Left widowed at a young age and carrying Abdallah's unborn child, she struggles to survive the pain of grief while holding tightly to the memories of the man she once dreamed of forever with. With the support of her loving mother and siblings, Safeeya escapes the pressure of remarriage and chooses instead to focus on rebuilding her life and pursuing her medical career. Behind her quiet strength, however, is a heart still haunted by loss. But fate has other plans. An unexpected encounter brings Muhammad Zaid into her life-a calm and understanding man who slowly becomes her confidant, her comfort, and the light she never thought she would find again. As old wounds begin to heal and new feelings awaken, Safeeya is faced with the question she fears the most: Can she love again?

It began when a man desired the best for his nation. He went and became the hero he dreamed of being and endured what he needed to endure to be such a hero. Endure and endure, yet why is he still the person whom he began with? Do his acts of fairness and justice not work? Or is it due to the law of man's corruption that one who does good is equivalent to draining the ocean with a spoon? I have no words for his bravery, for amongst the clandestine egoists around him, he suffers, but God knows what had happened to him.

starlight, a young prince lives trapped between memory and loss.

A young teenage girl, haunted by the memories of her father's execution, attempts to escape a cruel regime by night. A solitary woman, abandoned by her husband, inadvertently plays into the cruel hands of 'the state'. In another totalitarian regime a traffic light fixer is dealt with brutally for admiring a sunset. All these characters capture the essence of what it's like to be disempowered and cruelly dehumanised at the hands of a heinous, corrupt power. This sharp collection of pertinent short stories throws an at times uncomfortable light on cruelty, injustice and persecution that is all too relevant today. But ultimately these stories celebrate the strength and determination to survive at all costs, that exists within all of us.

The year is 2072, and humankind has fallen to its knees as a result of its ignorance.

Human's companion for over 750,000 years - the apple. Chaos ensues everywhere, and crossing over into different cities is now strictly forbidden.

For while we are still in this tent, we groan under our burden, because we wish not to be unclothed but to be further clothed, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life. He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who has given us the Spirit as a guarantee. - 2 Corinthians 5:4-5

Behind a flawlessly maintained facade of Transatlantic sophistication and a razor-sharp smile, the feared Radio Demon, Alastor, hides a profound, debilitating sorrow. While he plays his sinister, larger-than-life persona to perfection during the day at the Hazbin Hotel, the silence of midnight brings his walls crumbling down. In the isolation of his radio tower, he fractures into a broken man, crushed by the agonizing guilt of a traumatic childhood memory where he failed to protect his beloved mother from his abusive father. When Lucifer Morningstar, battling his own insomnia, accidentally discovers Alastor at his absolute lowest, the King of Hell chooses empathy over mockery. Rather than forcing a confrontation, Lucifer quietly alters his behavior over the next few months-dropping subtle hints that he is a safe, non-judgmental confidant. This unexpected kindness eventually forces a raw, explosive confrontation between the two powerful entities. What follows is a deeply moving exploration of vulnerability, as Lucifer orchestrates a miraculous, deeply personal surprise that ultimately helps Alastor confront his past, shatter his isolation, and form an unlikely, life-changing bond of true friendship.
