Talk Like Ted

Things We Don’t Talk About

——— I woke up to fingers running gently through my hair. At first, I thought I was dreaming, until the lullaby began. Low. Melodic. But wrong. It was that same language I'd heard through the walls, the one that makes your stomach twist and your teeth clench. She sat on the edge of my bed, I can’t see her face; it’s swallowed by the dark. But her hand keeps moving, slow and rhythmic, stroking my hair like she’s lulling something else to sleep. Her eyes are half-closed, swaying as she hums that twisted tune. And then I realize— I forgot to turn on my bedroom light before falling asleep. I kept my breathing slow and shallow, pretending to sleep. limbs screaming to move, to run, but something in me knows: Don’t let her know you’re awake. Don’t move. The singing stops. She sniffles. A choked, trembling sob leaks through her lips. She starts crying quietly, like she’s trying not to be heard. Like she’s afraid. “No...” she whispers, her voice cracking like a child’s. “He still dreams like a child… still soft…” I almost convince myself she’s sleep-talking— Until her hand suddenly tangles in my hair and pulls. I flinched and let out a sharp gasp. "Mama—!" She goes still. Her grip loosened… then shifts. Her fingers wrapped tightly around my trembling arms. Her face inches closer. I can smell her breath,..warm, wrong, too close. Her eyes are wide with terror. Her voice shakes as she hisses: “Don’t say anything." "Don’t say a word anymore.” I was too scared to speak. I couldn't even nod. She held me like that for a long, shuddering moment. Her breath was hot and ragged against my cheek. Her hands were too tight, like if she lets go, I’ll vanish. Her eyes darting around the room. Then, like a switch flipping, she goes completely still. "Mom?" I whispered, so softly it barely made a sound. She was at eye level with me. But she wasn't looking at me. She looked past me. Behind me.... No... no. It’s happening AGAIN. . This is not a safe novel. It's a collection of short, self-contained stories, each chapter unraveling a new descent, a different nightmare. Some stories are brief. Others not so. No heroes. No clean endings. Just answers that should have stayed buried. Read alone if you must. But don't say we didn't warn you. Reader Warning: This series contains psychological horror, disturbing imagery, death, and paranormal themes. Reader discretion is advised. Each chapter is a self-contained story, perfect for short, spine-tingling reads.

Princess, Please Stop Talking in My Head!

I was born this way on Earth. With her voice in my head. I didn't know this wasn't normal. I was born this way in Heaven Realm. With his voice in my head. I didn't know what was normal. ----- I knew the voice in my head belonged to a woman. An annoying Princess. I knew the voice in my head belonged to a man. A low-race Human. ----- I wanted to touch her, hug her and maybe make her laugh. I wanted to touch him, hug him and annoy him so that he won't look for other girls. ----- I turned my planet upside down for her dreams. I ravaged the Heaven Realm for his well-being. ----- I, a person born on Earth, I foolishly thought it was enough to live with just her voice. I was lying myself! I am a princess in the land of the Gods, I thought I could stay happy forever with only his jokes. I was lying myself. ----- Can I go there with the magic I received from her? Maybe I should escape from this Realm and go to his planet? ----- If I go, can I break the cage that restricts her? If I go, can I make him live longer, a mortal? ----- As a low human being, can I have such big dreams? As the Princess of an Immortal Family, can I start a war against all the gods and escape to his house? ----------------------------------------------- *Other Tags : Monster Girls, Corruption, Incest, Lewd, Depravity, Magic, Perfect Harem, Mind Corrupt, Mind Control, Mature Content, Abilities, Slave, Bloodline, Dark, Villain, Blood, Sin, Action, Fantasy, Kingdom Building, Romance, Action, Adventure, R18, System, Weaktostrong, Harem, Superpowers, Sliceoflife, Dragon *No NTR *Not Recommended for the Young Audience! *Writer: Tolunay *Translation: Doğa *Editer: Emma (It's not her real name, she is weird lol ) *  Other Names; 公主,请不要再在我脑子里说话了!

They're Not Like Us

In a world shattered by humanity's own ambition, survival comes at a cost. Decades ago, experiments to create bioengineered soldiers spiraled out of control, fusing alien DNA with human genetics. The result was The Others—monstrous beings that decimated the human population, driving the survivors into hiding. Leah Carter is one of those survivors, struggling to find her place in a fractured group that includes Elias, her unwavering ally; Thompson, a man haunted by the past; Jonah, whose fear breeds mistrust; and Maren, whose quiet strength hides a mysterious past. When a revelation about The Others' origins emerges, Leah discovers a disturbing connection to the creatures—one that could either save humanity or doom it. As the group searches for a long-abandoned military research facility rumored to hold the key to defeating The Others, Leah faces a growing divide within her team. Jonah’s suspicion and the group's unease threaten to tear them apart just when they need each other most. Amidst the chaos, Leah uncovers a shocking ability to communicate with The Others, forcing her to confront the possibility that she may be more connected to the enemy than she ever imagined. With the weight of humanity’s survival on her shoulders, Leah must navigate betrayal, fear, and her own inner turmoil. Can she and her group uncover the truth and find a way to fight back against The Others before it’s too late? Or will humanity’s final hope crumble under the weight of secrets and mistrust? "They Are Not Like Us" is a gripping apocalyptic thriller that explores the fragile bonds of trust, the cost of survival, and the enduring question: What makes us human?
