Novel & Cerita Authors Looking For True Stories

They believe it is not a mere product of wild imagination, it actually happened in real life, because some people have experience and seen such phenomenon before, the only problem, they are not only recorded and just exist in the words of mouth stories from one community to another, losing its authentic nature, who experience it, when it happened, where it happened; in the process. Because of these eventualities, a group of paranormal students coming from the city, who have read and watch the news report, intentionally come to the place, to carry out, a research and write a thesis about the mystical phenomena. They are composed of five middle ages men and women, who want to documents and pro

" Could they be hiding secrets or long-forgotten legends?" Lucian nodded, his eyes gleaming with eagerness. "Elias' writings have an air of sincerity to them as if he had these exploits firsthand. It's up to us to solve the secrets therein and maybe even go on our expeditions." Ethan leaned in, and his interest peaked. "I've always been drawn to stories that straddle reality and fantasy." It's as if there's a hidden planet just beyond our reach waiting to be revealed." Lily spoke out, her voice is full of eagerness. "Perhaps we can learn the truth behind Elias' stories and bring them to life." Crestwood has an uncanny ability to reveal the spectacular in the most unexpected locations."

New to the game, waiting for one big story to come tumbling into our laps. I graduated a few years before her before getting eaten alive at a newspaper press. I wanted to find my own stories. Write what I wanted to write, but all they used me for was getting coffee and lunch. For two years. They never assigned me anything. Always the person next to me. Lucy was the one that told me to leave. Said we'd find our own stories. And we did—a few here and there, but nothing big enough to get our names out there. But we will. Just had to know the right places to look. We were still in our twenties, so it was easy for the cops and reporters to overlook us.

I answer honestly. “Have you even looked it up online?” Amanda presses on. “I did,” I reply, starting to feel defensive. “I looked up the basics before I wrote to him but I didn't want to pry in too deep. I wanted him to tell me himself. That's his story to tell. Plus, you know as well as I do that there are a hundred versions of every story and whose to say which one is the one and only truth.” “Well has he?” She pauses and I give her a confused look. “Told you?” she clarifies.

“And it’s not just personal to me. The podcast episode I did? It went viral. Not because I’m a genius. Because I was honest. Dozens of fan letters came in after that, and we only read a fraction. People are desperate for stories that sound like their own.” Peter lifts a brow. “You think honesty sells?” “I think authenticity is the last untapped currency in publishing.” Silence. Then Jenna nods. “She’s not wrong.” “I’ve seen the numbers,” says a junior editor across the table, her voice small but firm. “There’s a real demand for voices outside the polished norm. If we don’t pick this up, someone else will.” Peter sighs but sits back. No rebuttal. No smirk. Just thought. I finally glance at Lo

“Because if they win this show, the ledger becomes a forgotten rumor. If we push the truth into the square first, they can’t pretend it didn’t happen.” We moved faster than fatigue would allow. Rafael’s cramped workspace smelled of ink and oil; the presses thumped like a heartbeat. Matteo and Sorina slipped through alleys to recruit criers and persuade a desperate street singer to shout names loud enough for even the soldiers to hear. I watched as the pages turned under Rafael’s steady hand, the facsimiles forming—truthful yet curated evidence.

For now, I wanted to finish this report and have it published. Our food arrived, and we chatted while we ate. “How do you choose the stories you write about?” I asked Shane. “Fate usually leads me to them,” he said. “Whenever I see or hear of something I feel is wrong, I find out more about it. After I write the article, I offer it to several newspaper editors I know. “Why don’t you work for a newspaper?” Victor asked. “Because newspapers assign their journalists stories,” Shane replied. “I can’t write an article if I don't care about the subject. To write a truly effective article, you must want to solve a particular problem.”

He added darkly. Now he sounded like a bully. I giggled. “In my line of work, there's always a ready story. You want to know what happened, the answer is right there. But the question is, is that really what happened? That's where we come in. We always look for the second story under the public story. The real story". He looked like he knew where I was going. “ Now tell me, Jamie, what's the real story? Why are you here?" JAMESON'S POV

"I want to write both. I want the whole thing — the failure and what came after. I'm not interested in hagiography, Mr. Reed. I'm not interested in a hit piece. I'm interested in the truth. And the truth, as far as I can tell from the reporting I've already done, is that both parts exist and they're connected." Elijah looked at Alexander. Alexander looked at the phone. His expression was unreadable — not guarded, exactly, but concentrated. The way he looked when he was reading a contract, line by line, searching for the hidden clause. "Then write both," he said. "Accurately." Another pause. Longer this time.

Everything outside looks peaceful. Inside my room, nothing feels peaceful anymore. For weeks, I keep asking people to tell me the truth, but every answer only creates another question. I finally understand why. It’s simply because everyone is telling me their version and not the whole story. I return to my desk and open my notebook to a clean page. At the top, I write one sentence. Find facts. Not stories. I stare at those words for a long time. Then I speak the words aloud to myself. I am no longer going to keep asking people what happened.
