Until July

Until July

It all began one late Winter but ended only months later when Summer came around. When Briella's boyfriend left for University, he left her with words that rang in her head. But it was weeks later that his words lost their true meaning. All it took was one phone call for it all to break into pieces... He broke up with her. Losing her faith in love, Briella doesn't want to fall head over heels again. She managed to live by her words for a few weeks. But one day, whilst in a hurry to class, Briella crashed into someone in the hallway... It was a guy. He was tall, handsome, blonde... Though the thought of this may come across as cliché, it is inevitable to think that something may happen between the two. But they only have until July to find out... *EXTRACT FROM THE BOOK* It was Valentines Day, both Briella and Nadia went out to the nearby dance that was held every year for Valentines Day. "Can you remind me of the reason for why exactly we are here, Nadia? Because, from what I can remember, we weren't asked out for by anyone!". "Sure, we have still come here, regardless of whether or not we were asked out or not. Besides, who knows? We might find someone tonight! I am sure that there are many lonely souls, just like us, out and about. Blending in with the crowd," Nadia replied. Little to Briella's knowledge, Nadia was right. "May I ask, what's such a beautiful lady like yourself doing all alone on Valentines Day?" A deep voice caught Briella's attention. Turning around, she saw a tall, handsome guy facing her. A small smile stretched across his lips. "I don't really have a Valentine this year... In fact, I don't even know why I agreed to come here, but hey, here I am..." Briella replied. She was just about to thank him for his compliment when suddenly his voice was heard once again. "Wait, like no Valentine... at all?". Briella shook her head as a reply. "Nope.". "Well..." he began. "Perhaps... I can change that. What do you say?". "What are you implying by that?". "Well...". He bowed down right before her. "Would you like to dance with me?... I'd like to be your Valentine this year.". That Valentines night was when Briella met her boyfriend, Dylan, and instantly fell in love with him.

The Third Week of July

The Third Week of July

Kaito's world shatters when his girlfriend, Rina, is tragically gunned down on the last day of the third week of July. Consumed by grief and a desperate hope, he dedicates his life to completing Rina's theoretical research on time travel, driven by a mysterious symbol of a trumpet-shaped hose and inexplicably appearing notes that aid his progress. His first journey back in time, to save Rina, ends in horrifying failure, witnessing her death again despite his intervention. Undeterred, a slightly older Kaito tries again, this time working in secret as a janitor to guide his younger self's research, hoping a more refined approach will succeed. This attempt also culminates in Rina's death, with Kaito realizing he might be an unchangeable part of the tragedy. A third, even older Kaito, worn down by repeated failures, returns with a grim new plan: to kill the gunman before he can act. In a tragic twist of fate and a moment of panicked misidentification, he accidentally becomes the one to cause Rina's demise, fulfilling the horrifying bootstrap paradox – he is the very gunman his younger self then kills in rage. Just as this seemingly unbreakable, cruel loop threatens to claim him permanently, a much older version of Kaito intervenes, injecting his dying self with advanced medical technology. This "Architect" Kaito, having experienced countless iterations, has begun a project not to erase the past, but to manage its devastating fallout, subtly guiding other versions of himself and preventing their ultimate destruction. He shares his story with a young, inquisitive boy named Kenji, planting the seeds for a new generation to grapple with the complexities of a fixed, yet perhaps subtly alterable, timeline. "The Third Week of July" is a poignant exploration of grief, obsession, and the crushing weight of inevitability, questioning whether destiny is truly immutable or if, even within a fixed framework, there is still room for human agency to strive for a different, if not perfect, future. ------------- This book is written with AI-assisted tools to help generate sentences and structure paragraphs.

Best Booktok Historical Fiction Recommendations
Well, I really like 'Circe' from Booktok's historical fiction picks. It focuses on the witch Circe from Greek mythology and gives her a whole new life and story. Then there's 'The Gilded Wolves' which has a really interesting setting in a sort of alternate Paris in the past, with a group of characters on an exciting adventure full of mystery and intrigue. 'Outlander' is also a huge hit. It combines time - travel with historical Scotland, following the love story of Claire and Jamie across different time periods.
