"Cheers, mate," I thank the man in front of me as I receive a kebab in return. I begin walking off to find a spot to sit at in dear old London. Always rainin', always depressin' with you.I set my eyes on a seedy bench near a dark alley. Definitely not preferable, but I don't fancy standing about. I prop up my umbrella and take a seat.I bite into the juicy kebab in my hands and start pondering why Yvette would ever want me here. Maybe she needs my advice on something important. Maybe she needs to move her ugly wardrobe out from her bedroom into the bin. Or maybe...Nah, canny be that. I'm just haverin'._____Elizabeth MacMillan was always loyal to her longtime friend, Yvette Lacroix-Wilson. Even with the Scotswoman being the stricter, more reasonable yet more hotheaded of the two, Eliza nevertheless accompanied her optimistic friend to adventures across the world in search of forgotten artefacts.After their most recent journey a year ago which left Yvette gravely injured, Eliza wanted nothing to do with any of her other half's work life. She hoped that her friend shared the same thinking. However, Yvette called her one day and asked for Eliza to come visit her home.The minute she arrived, she wished she hadn't._____Leave a comment, share and vote if this story was up your alley!

Nik Masyitah Rukyah binti Nik Razali is a telepath living peacefully in Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia. She was born with the ability to read minds, move objects via telekinesis and even revert the physical state of objects with enough concentration.However, with great power comes great prejudice.People of her kind are looked at in a negative light and are labelled as sorcerers, or ahli sihir in her mother tongue Malay. The Department of Witchcraft Control, more widely known as JAKIS are actively trying to dispel ahli-ahli sihir around the country, believing that they're abusing witchcraft and actively defying God's will.When JAKIS announced that they're now resorting to more extreme and violent measures to catch these sorcerers after years of turmoil, Kiah's relatively uneventful life of laying low and not attracting attention has now flipped on its head.With the help of her closest sorcerer friends Harmony Teng Yee Suen who manipulates heat, as well as Casey Reid who controls vapour and forms them into illusions, they go off the grid and on the run. Experiences with anomalous rituals, mythological creatures and the ever present JAKIS operatives make it harder and harder for the trio to ever achieve peaceful lives.That's not to mention something dark and twisted, embedded within Kiah's very soul.Watch as they persevere through thick and thin in The Tale of Masyitah Rukyah._____Hiya! Thank you and terima kasih to you, the dear reader for clicking on my here story! This story will contain a decent amount of Malaysian culture and terminology, but don't be afraid. I've added some pictures as well as an index at the end of each chapter to explain some of the words, alongside explanations in the characters' narrations.

Ghostly beings were not high up on Luca Lombardi's "to care about" list of things. She much preferred other, more worldly things. Drugs, alcohol, expensive things and the like. On one particularly dark night, she encounters something. An entity that would change her entire way of life and she sees it. Something that relates to her, something that... knows her. More than she does herself.___Thank you, dear reader for clicking on my story. If you liked it, please give it a vote and a spot on your reading list. I'd appreciate the support. Stay safe my friend.…
