Biography of a Dead Man (DROPPED)

VerzVerx
It is currently the Year 2185 in Summer Earth Time. Humanity came a long way now and they could be said to have finished colonizing three planets now; namely Mars, Mercury and Venus. In a library on Earth, a young man can be seen to be browsing through the books. "I need to find a book to make my history report about. This is the only place I found that has books from the 21st Century as most of them has been lost since the Universal Knowledge Transfer event 124 years ago." As the young man looked around he saw many books with interesting titles. "'Mountain of Madness'? It doesn't look like a historically accurate book." "'Pandemic Isolation'? Hmm... Maybe I would have taken this if others hadn't thought of this already, making historical reports about the global pandemic of 2020 is a common thing. I wanna be unique." "Hmmm? Wait... What's this?" He caught a glimpse of a book and saw an interesting title. It was a simple title but it seemed to scream out that it contains more than what meets the eye. "'Biography of a Dead Man'? About someone who died? I haven't heard of this book..." There's nothing on the cover page except the title and the eerie blurry image of a woman drenched in rain in front of a tombstone. The book cover was handmade along with the book itself. It seemed like someone personally wrote this book, which is rare and odd as few people wrote using pen and paper during those times. He then opened the book and saw the title written with the author's name below. "Johannes Kingfisher? Haven't heard of him." Then he went to the next page and saw that there's something written there, but it was torn and some of the texts are incomplete. "'This book contains my experiences and whether you believe or not is up to you'? What's up with this? Is this a fantasy novel or what?" He became curious and read the Prologue of the book. =============================== A/N: Goofy cover, I know. Because I made it xD. I have no money to commission for a book cover and definitely don't want an AI generated book cover, so here is the book cover I made xD. Anyways I hope you have a good read.

The Destructive Adventures of the Lovers

After being torn from the only life she knew, 16-year-old Margo is forced into a new home with strangers who call themselves her parents. Haunted by memories of her past and consumed by feelings of isolation, she struggles to adapt to her unfamiliar surroundings. School offers little relief—until she meets Lucien, a mysterious boy who appears just when she needs a friend the most. Gabriel is everything Margo needs: kind, attentive, and always ready to whisk her away from her troubles. Each night, he invites her to secret places—an abandoned playground, a fog-choked garden, a crumbling train station at the edge of town—each more unsettling than the last. Yet with every chilling rendezvous, Margo feels more alive... more seen. But something isn’t right. Gabriel never comes to school during the day. Her adoptive parents never see him. And when they catch her talking to thin air, their concern deepens into fear. They say Gabriel isn't real—that he’s a figment of her imagination. Margo wants to believe them, but Gabriel feels real. More real than anything else in her life. As the nights grow colder and more twisted, Gabriel’s true nature begins to surface. Shadows move where they shouldn’t. Time warps in his presence. And the places they visit seem to echo with whispers from another world. Margo is forced to ask herself: Who—or what—is Gabriel? Why does he only want her? And what will happen on the final night he asks her to come with him? As the line between reality and delusion begins to crumble, Margo must make an impossible choice: stay in a world where she feels loved, or return to one that barely feels real. But one thing is certain—some friendships never let go.
