FarNia2308
We’ve all had those moments—the kind that stops us in our tracks, steals our breath, and makes us see life differently. It could be a fleeting conversation, a mistake that stings, a kindness we never expected or even the realization that everything we believed… Everything we've ever known wasn’t quite right. Some lessons come like whispers, soft but impossible to ignore. Others hit like a tidal wave, knocking the wind out of us, and some come in the form of fictional short stories that resonate with us, But no matter how they arrive, they change something inside us forever. The Moment It Hit Me is a collection of those turning points—snapshots of clarity, reality, heartbreak, hope, and growth—all wrapped up in a thousand words. Each chapter comes with a different short story, some fictional, some from my own experiences and anecdotes from others' experiences. Some will make you laugh, others might sting, some will teach you new things about self-care, mental height, and emotional balance and a few will stay with you long after you turn the page. Because sometimes, all it takes is one moment to change everything. Let me share with you The Moment It Hit me, because, It Just Might Hit You too. I'm writing this because I believe that, sometimes readers need a break from traditional fiction to connect with something more grounded in real-life experiences. So be sure to share your life-changing experiences in the comment session, so we can all learn from this.

Echoes of the Unknown - Cthulhu Collection

"Echoes of the Unknown" is a collection of horror short stories inspired by the Cthulhu Mythos and the works of H.P. Lovecraft. These tales unravel cosmic horrors that awaken mankind's deepest fears of the incomprehensible forces beyond our understanding of the world. Each story follows individuals caught in encounters with unseen entities and ancient symbols that open doors to terror and destruction. From researchers exploring dangerous ruins to ordinary people unknowingly uncovering hidden truths, the protagonists are trapped in unsolvable mysteries and face horrors far beyond their control. Strange occurrences and recurring nightmares signal the approach of an unstoppable cosmic threat. With a tense atmosphere, "Echoes of the Unknown" delves into humanity's helplessness in the vast emptiness of the universe, forcing us to confront the reality that we are but a small part of something far larger and darker. This collection is a tribute to the themes of H.P. Lovecraft, particularly his exploration of the fear of the unknowable and humanity's powerless position in a vast, mysterious cosmos. Many names, concepts, and elements in these stories are directly inspired by Lovecraft’s work, and I wish to acknowledge his profound influence. This collection is not intended to infringe upon his legacy but to pay homage to the creator of the Cthulhu Mythos, with all due respect. Any similarities to his original works are intentional and are made in the spirit of tribute and admiration...
