Being modern means being rude to people on the street who are below your rank—That is what they believe. I find this all frustrating, why move with a state of mind that could as well kill you someday. You don't know if this person is a lawyer, a far relative, a doctor, a politician. But you already get the gist, don't you? And like any other teenagers my age, I really want to run away from all this. It's not like I am an orphan or from a poor household. I am from a family which is a standard class in economical terms in this world. And yet, I want to run away. Haha! Anyways. I did succeed. I wonder at what cost? I am away from all that hostility of course... But now I am in another world. Not reincarnated. Not transmigrated to another body. I am with my own soul in my original body, but in another world. This world... is weird. Thinking back, I remember reading a strange book when I was young. This book actually speaks about this world. I am a character there. Funnier thing, I don't know what is up with it either. It appears to me that the writer decided they want to see the 'live-action' version of it. So now... I am the actor playing my ownself.

At eighteen, Ethan Reyes is nothing. Born into poverty, abandoned by his father, and barely surviving with his overworked mother, Ethan lives a life where every day feels like a losing battle. Mocked by classmates, betrayed by his best friend, and dumped by the girl he trusted most, he becomes the boy everyone looks down on—the one destined to fail. But everything changes in a single night. With nothing but an old laptop and a restless mind, Ethan stumbles upon the world of money—stocks, cryptocurrency, and business.

In a house where a boy once lived and died, a girl who believes in nothing is about to learn that some truths only the dead can tell. When twelve-year-old Macy Bloomfield moves into a quiet house on Ashgrove Street, she doesn't believe in ghosts. She believes in evidence — and she starts keeping a notebook, methodically explaining away every strange thing the house does: a thermostat that resets itself, a name carved into a closet wall, a scratching sound that comes and goes on its own patient schedule. But the rational explanations run out. As Macy grows up in a town too polite to speak the truth out loud, she uncovers the story of Nolan Spencer — a boy who died young, and who never quite left. He isn't the town's nightmare. He's its conscience — a quiet presence who steps in wherever a child is being hurt and no adult is watching. And somewhere in Bellhaven, someone has spent twelve years making sure the real story of how Nolan died stays buried. The dead in this story are merciful. The living are the ones you have to watch. As Macy gets closer to the truth, she uncovers a town-wide conspiracy of silence, a faith community that loved a family without ever truly seeing them, and a danger that has nothing to do with anything supernatural at all. The Boy on Ashgrove Street is a story about the sin of not asking — about a family whose faith carried them through unimaginable grief while quietly keeping them from the one question that mattered — and about a girl who has to learn that some things are true even when you can't prove them. A slow-burn supernatural mystery about grief, faith, forgiveness, and the courage to ask the hard question — for readers who loved the emotional weight of The Lovely Bones and the small-town reckoning of 13 Reasons Why.

The Salon on Maple Street follows a quiet, introspective life unfolding inside a small hair salon where ordinary daily interactions gradually become a lens for exploring how a person relates to their own thoughts, meaning, and inner pressure. At the center is a narrator working in the salon alongside colleagues like Nina, a grounded and direct presence, Marcus, who constantly tries to systematize and over-interpret everything through absurd “departments,” and Gabriel, a calm, steady figure who often responds with brief, clarifying insight rather than explanation. What begins as simple observations of salon life slowly evolves into a deeply internal journey. Through everyday conversations with customers—complaints, uncertainties, regrets, and reflections—the narrator begins to notice patterns in their own mind: constant self-measurement, overthinking, rehearsing conversations, needing justification for choices, and trying to extract meaning from everything. Over time, these mental habits begin to soften. The narrator gradually stops: measuring their life against imagined standards rehearsing conversations before they happen turning every experience into meaning or self-analysis feeling the need to justify actions or emotions treating thoughts as problems to solve Instead, a quieter way of being emerges: presence without interpretation, experience without constant explanation, and ordinary life without the pressure to turn it into something more. The salon becomes a symbolic space where this transformation unfolds—less a physical setting and more a stable environment where change is noticed in subtle internal shifts rather than external events. As the story progresses, even the need for narrative itself begins to dissolve. Reflection becomes less frequent, then optional, then unnecessary. Meaning stops being something extracted and becomes something no longer required. Conversations remain simple. Silence stops needing filling. Life stops needing commentary. By the final chapters, the distinction between “story” and “life” fades. There is no dramatic resolution, no climactic ending—only a gradual release of the need to interpret, extend, or finalize experience. The conclusion is not an event, but a disappearance of effort: the effort to explain, to continue, to understand, and to turn living into something structured. What remains is ordinary life—unchanged, but no longer filtered through constant internal narration. In essence, The Salon on Maple Street is a meditative journey from over-interpretation to quiet presence, where the ultimate shift is not becoming someone new, but no longer needing to become anything else at all.
