The Last Drink

Darken_D_void
In a neon-lit city where the night never ends, Selene Voss, a melancholic yet elegant woman, finds solace in the quiet corners of a secluded bar. Dressed in a sleek gothic suit, she carries the weight of a past she refuses to let go of, drowning her sorrows in whiskey and regret. Once a renowned pianist, Selene abandoned the stage after a tragic love affair shattered her heart. The only remnants of her passion are the ghostly melodies she plays on the bar’s out-of- tune piano when the place is empty. Despite her cold demeanor, she is haunted by memories of the one woman who made her feel alive—an artist who vanished without a trace. When a mysterious woman enters the bar one evening, bearing an uncanny resemblance to her lost love, Selene is forced to confront the ghosts of her past. Is she a second chance at love or just another illusion brought on by the haze of alcohol and longing? As the lines between reality and memory blur, Selene must decide whether to take one last drink—or finally let go. A story of heartbreak, longing, and the search for something real in a world that feels like a dream, The Last Drink is a melancholic yet passionate tale of love, loss, and the hope of finding light in the darkness.

Prey Amongst Predators

On the brink of death, Sol had expected nothing more than eternal peace from his lifelong suffering. But instead, fate dealt him an unexpected hand. The Melvires, a renowned family, rescued him that night, and his fate was rewritten. A man who called himself his father, along with the four sons who bore no resemblance to him, offered a life so far removed from his own, it felt like fiction. Ever since then, he had done everything in his power to make himself worthy of the life they gave him. Yet even as the years passed, some truths remained hard to ignore. The Melvires carried themselves with an elegance that seemed inborn, an air of distinction no effort could replicate. No matter how hard he tried, Sol always felt like an outsider trailing behind them–grateful, but never equal. Nevertheless, he dedicated himself to their service, believing loyalty was the least he could offer in return. But everything shattered the night he turned twenty when the veil was lifted. The Melvires finally revealed the sharp claws hidden behind their velvet gloves. Sol was nothing more than a sacrifice. The crown of their design. He fought hard to escape their reign of terror, but the more he resisted, the steeper the slope became. Every path forward was walled in inevitability. His spirit waned beneath the weight of isolation and betrayal, until all that remained was resignation. Perhaps this was simply the closing of a circle. If his life was the price for everything he had been given, then so be it. He opened his arms, ready to embrace death again, just as he had all those years ago. But what was with their sudden change in attitude? Why, after all the pain they had inflicted, did they now seem… wounded?
