Clash A Rama Clashmas

A Woman Without a Mask

At 28, Clara Hayes has mastered the art of wearing masks. To her colleagues, she’s the perpetually cheerful graphic designer who never misses a deadline. To her overbearing mother, she’s the dutiful daughter hiding her anxiety behind polished smiles. To the world, she’s a woman who “has it all together”—except she’s crumbling inside. Clara’s life unravels during a corporate presentation where a panic attack strips her façade raw. Humiliated and exhausted, she flees to a quiet coastal town, renting a cottage owned by an eccentric, free-spirited potter named Marisol. There, Clara stumbles upon a dusty journal in the attic, its pages filled with haunting sketches and anonymous confessions from a woman who once lived there decades earlier. The entries mirror Clara’s own suffocating duality: “I paint myself in colors the world approves of, but my soul is a grayscale.” As Clara tentatively befriends Marisol and a reclusive widower, Eli, who runs the town’s crumbling bookstore, she begins confronting the lies she’s told herself for years. Through their unconventional guidance—and the journal’s cryptic wisdom—she starts shedding her masks one by one. But vulnerability comes at a cost: her corporate career teeters, her mother’s disapproval intensifies, and a buried trauma from her teenage years resurfaces, threatening to drown her newfound courage. When Clara’s raw, unfiltered artwork—created in secret—goes viral, she faces a choice: return to the safety of her old illusions or step into the terrifying freedom of living unapologetically. But the journal hides a final secret, linking Clara’s journey to the cottage’s mysterious past, forcing her to question whether true authenticity is a rebellion… or a homecoming.

Clash Of Realms

In a world lies three realms. With each realm being different and unique from one another. The first realm being the underworld, the second realm being the overworld, and the last realm being the celestial realm. The three realms have never had any contact with one another from when their history started. They've lived oblivious with the fact that there were two other realms in the world. But what would happen if one day there was a way to travel between the realms. Would this invite peaceful alliance or would it invite chaotic conflict between the three? I'm Abyssal_ Ink and this is a story that I will be writing for you all to read. Please enjoy and if there are any input or critics you would like to point out, do not hesitate to do so. Disclaimer: I’m no expert nor pro in writing, mistakes will happen, and English is not my first language. I accept input, advice, and people pointing out my mistakes. I will listen to what you have to say and try my best to learn from your input, unless they're weird. Writing is not a job for me, it’s a hobby and probably a way to earn a little amount of pocket money. I know this won’t become popular nor do I have any faith for it to blow up since this is my first time writing an original story. If you do not like the story then don’t stay, I won’t ask you to stay nor will I force you, not that I can do that anyways. Just enjoy and hate it if you want, like it if you want. Just whatever. A story is a story. It’s from my imagination, not for your liking, ok maybe that was too harsh, but you get the jest of it. For updates again this is not a job, it's a hobby and for pocket money at best, so I will probably update every week or every two weeks or at most a month, it won’t be consistent since I’ll be more focused on my studies, it’s not like I’ll live out of writing. Now sit down or lay down or stand up, ah whatever I just hope you enjoy this humble story I will deliver.
