Ashes Ashes All Fall Down Novels & Stories

I had no interest in listening to him any longer. “Didn’t you say your arm was gone? It looks perfectly intact to me.” As soon as I finished speaking, his other arm thudded to the ground as well. Amid his agonized screams, parts of his body were torn away piece by piece until he was reduced to nothing, executed in the cruelest way possible. With my vengeance complete, an indescribable sense of satisfaction filled me. Queenie Aasen, who once cared for the world and acted with selfless righteousness, was gone.

And my son sitting between me and the most emotionally stable man who’s ever been in my life. “Daddy, why do the leaves have different colors?” Ash asked suddenly. Erick shifted, extending an arm to point toward the maples and oaks starting to turn gold. “They’re changing outfits, buddy. Fall’s coming, so they’re putting on their golden jackets.” “Like superheroes?” “More like... fall fashion models.” Ash nodded seriously. “I want to change clothes like leaves.” “You already changed five times this morning,” I cut in. “All because you said your pants were ‘itchy on the left leg only.’ Don’t teach the trees drama.”

There is just one thing I need to do first. "Ash is my mum still here?" He stops his listing and frowns. "Yeah she is downstairs and you can't believe what happened! I was going to talk to her, being polite and all, but then I fucking slipped and fell!" I frown deeply, trying to stifle my laughter. "You have crutches how could you slip and fall? Was there a banana on the ground or something?" "No! That's the thing! No banana and I fell just like that! How can that shit happen?!" Now I don't hide it anymore and start laughing out loud.

After obediently handing their storage bag to Caspian, they hurriedly ran away. After keeping the storage bags into his chest, Caspian raised his leg and kicked. With a bang, Asher suddenly flew out like a heavy sack. Then, he fell heavily to the ground, causing the earth to shake violently and the dust scattered everywhere. When Asher fell, he immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, curling up into a ball and looking at Caspian with fear. He was slapped by Caspian before, and nearly half of his teeth fell out of his mouth. Nowadays, he sounded like an old lady who lost all her teeth.

Ash smiled slowly, reverent and pressed her palm into the torch’s flame. The skin sizzled. She didn’t flinch. “She made me in her image,” Ash whispered, voice trembling with reverence and rage. “And then she tried to bury what she’d created.” Her gaze lifted to the blackened cross still hanging above the altar. “But daughters always rise from their mother’s bones.” The crowd roared. Chanting her name. Ash. Ash. Ash. And from the smoke-filled rafters, the first snow of burning ash fell soft as blessing, cruel as prophecy.

It dares me to sit. I step past it. The dream shakes. The walls crack. I keep walking. It throws things in my path—voices, screams, broken glass, fire, mirrors that show me twisted. Alone. Ruined. But I don’t stop. I whisper their names like a prayer. “Noor. Marcy. Elise. Caroline. Lena. Isobelle. Talia.” And finally, softly— “Asher.” Light flickers. The world rips. And I fall. ***

“ENOUGH!” Everyone was shocked at who it could belong to until they saw Asher’s frozen body finally move. The ghouls all stopped attacking and stared at him. Asher stood up from where he kneeled. The black lines on his body started disappearing but his eyes remained black as he glared at the ghouls. “Go to the underworld where you belong,” he ordered and the ghouls shrieked loudly as they started evaporating.

I don’t know why but I really like the falls for reasons I don’t know. It's like there's something special about the waterfalls that catches my attention.

I felt like I was falling so I opened my eyes but I was surprised to see ash falling as well. What does he think he's doing ?! Is he an idiot?! When we confessed our position, he immediately hugged me. He changed our position. I am now above him and he is below me as

KELLAN'S P.O.V The floor beneath us dropped and.... “Aaaahh” Ashley screamed, a sound that pressed into me harder than the straps and rope around my body. Her nails dug into my back while she held me tighter “Shhh. It's okay. It's okay” I whispered, my words steady despite the situation. Ashley shook her head against my neck, sobs shaking her body, and hot tears dropped on my skin. “We're fall..fallling”

The Empire's Ashes The wind, a continual reminder of the fall of the empire, murmured through the ruins. With her leather-clad fingers digging amid the ruins of a once-immensity palace, Zara knelt down. In the early morning light, the tall, hollow and cracked marble columns loomed above her, creating long, skeletal shadows. The smell of smoke, of something long burned and forgotten, filled the air. Even though she had been scrounging here for days, the scene remained the same: rusted weaponry, shattered statues, and the remains of a grandeur that had long since lost its significance.
