Held Light, Held Close

The oven hummed behind her, steady, contained. She thought of his photo. The eyes. The careful tone. The way the message made space rather than demanded it. She set the phone down without replying and returned to the bowl, scraping the last of the batter into the pan. She smoothed the surface with the back of the spoon and slid it into the oven, the heat rushing out briefly before the door closed.

The Art of Life and Love: The First Spark

The Art of Life and Love: The First Spark

Tony inserted his visitor pass into the card slot, and the door buzzed then opened with a click. It was just large enough for one car. Dillon saw up close what the whole thing looked like. It was definitely an oven of some sort, since there were some kind of special elements(lights?) that lined the floor and the ceiling, and ran up and down the walls. The floor was some kind of chain link metal grate. It looked like there were drains at certain intervals under the grate. Maybe to clean up paint overspray and spills? It looked and smelled as if there had been paint in the room recently.

The Widow’s Blood Debt

The Widow’s Blood Debt

I heard a rhythmic, metallic tapping coming from the kitchen area. I threw on an oversized sweater and padded across the cold floor. Silas was standing at my small, rusted gas stove, his charcoal suit jacket discarded on a milk crate. His sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, revealing strong, corded forearms, and he was currently using a vintage silver spoon likely the only nice thing I owned to stir a pot of something that smelled suspiciously like actual food.

The Alpha’s Mistake: Lila’s Rise from Rejection

I folded the paper and put it in my jacket. He stacked soup cans on the windowsill like trophies. I watched from the chair by the door with my arms crossed. He hummed something under his breath. A song I didn’t know, but the kind of thing she’d sing while folding towels or cleaning a scraped knee. His voice broke halfway through, then picked up again, like nothing had happened. “She used to sing to the oven,” he said. “When the bread was rising. Like it could hear her.” He added another can. Lined it up beside the others. His hands weren’t steady. They wobbled like her handwriting on a bad day.

"He was warned. But if a war is what he wants, then that's what he'll get. Get everyone ready." "What potion are you brewing now?" Sylvia, the forty-year-old potion master, turned to witness the presence of Mia munching on an apple while discreetly coming into her little potion camp. "Jeez, it's suffocating here. How do you even breathe?" Sylvia only gave her a small smile before returning to drop some ingredients into her burning pot. "It's my catharsis," Sylvia commented.

And eventually, we were able to find more than plants and valuable stones to trade in a nearby pack. "Well, if you're cooking at the pack house, I'd love to help you. I wanted to use some of the appliances in the pack house," I joked lightly. "I haven't used a stove in years, and I have no idea which of the fifty buttons on that thing actually turns on the oven." They both laughed alongside me. "Well, I will be more than happy to show you anything you want in the kitchen. I have a morning shift there, three times a week, so feel free to accompany me, Etheral. My name is Sylvia," the lady replied.

The Day I Stopped Loving Him

The Day I Stopped Loving Him

I thought it might become two. Sarah arrived on the second afternoon with Barnaby and a box of sourdough supplies that she had somehow transported north as though bread-making equipment was a basic survival need. She took one look at the kitchen and said, “this oven is going to be a problem,” and immediately began negotiating with it as though it were a difficult colleague.

The flame of love

The flame of love

Sylvia was bored in her room all day, she wanted to go out in the garden for a walk, but of course Ryan did not agree. Outside there was the sound of hurried footsteps… the wooden door opened, it was Viola. “Sylvia, what are you going to do?” “I… Thank you for bringing the food.” Seeing Viola carrying a copper tray with cakes and milk, Sylvia thought to bring it to herself. “Your dinner is only a glass of milk with a plate of this bread! This part belongs to the boss. But he threw it all in the trash once, afraid it's going to be a waste of food this time."

Sinful Desires: Taming The Cold Mafia Lord

We got to a door and I pulled it open and pushed the tray into it slowly. "Is that..." I heard Giulia ask on the other end then trail off. I looked at her face as I closed the door of the cremation oven amidst screams from Edith who was finally understanding the picture. "I have seasoned the meat. Now we let it cook." I smiled and flipped the camera so they could see through the glass on the front of the oven. "Mary should stop watching at this point. We are about to cook." I turned the switch on. It heated up fast.

The casserole dish was ceramic, homemade by the look of it, still warm. The expression was identical to every expression that had come before it. "I'm so sorry to drop in," Olivia said. "I've been thinking about Ethan constantly. I just wanted to bring something. I didn't want to intrude, I only thought..." Behind Sophia, in the hallway, she heard Adrian's footsteps stop.

great start..concise with nuances. hope it would end the same way. not tooo many chapters that the main characters became watered down with so many side stories. i'm reading along slowly... so that i don't have to wait for updates. keep up the good work,dear author!
Miriam
I'm only on chapter 5 of this story and I'm so invested. It's well written and I love how the female lead, Sophia, is depicted. I hope things work out for her and the children, away from the man who doesn't recognize the value in the family he's neglected.

Frequently Asked Questions

Sylvia Plath's death is one of those tragic moments in literary history that still haunts me. She died by suicide in 1963, at just 30 years old, by inhaling gas from her oven. It’s heartbreaking to think about how someone so talented, whose words could cut so deep, was struggling so much internally. Her poetry, especially in 'Ariel,' feels like it’s brimming with this raw, unfiltered pain—like she was pouring everything into her work while fighting her own demons.

What makes it even sadder is the context: she was separated from her husband, Ted Hughes, caring for their two young kids in a freezing London winter. The isolation and despair must’ve been unbearable. I sometimes wonder how her writing might’ve evolved if she’d lived longer—her voice was so unique, so piercing. It’s a loss that still echoes.
