Things That Are Broken Novels & Stories

Crash! A sharp, violent crack ripped through the sterile silence of the office. The remote control, a sleek, expensive piece of brushed metal, flew from James’s hand with terrifying force. It spun through the air like a deadly projectile, arcing across the vast room before shattering against the far wall, splintering into a dozen jagged fragments that clattered against the marble floor. The sound, sharp and final, seemed to echo his internal rage.

I'd had it repaired, but look closely and you could still see the cracks. Broken was broken. Even glued back together, it couldn't return to what it was.

He spotted the thin, red line on Axel’s palm. He carried Axel to the kitchen, sitting him on the counter as he fetched a first-aid kit. As he cleaned the small cut with a tenderness that made Mandy’s chest ache, he spoke softly. "Listen, champ. Next time something breaks, you leave it. Don’t try to fix broken things. Not everything can be fixed." He smoothed a band-aid over the cut. "No matter how hard you try, once something is shattered… it can never really be put back the way it was. Understand?" Axel, wide-eyed, nodded solemnly. "Hmm."

By a small muffle. "S—Stop... don't hurt me," And that's when I lost my focus and let the attacker fuck with me.

I can’t fall apart right now. I star at the wall, and something inside me just… breaks. Not in a way I expected. It’s not the kind of breakdown where you get mad and throw things. It’s a slow kind of break. Like when as crack starts in the foundation of a building, and no one notices until the whole thing’s about to come down.

“You know, when you feel so broken, you could do a lot to distract yourself.” “I've tried. The pain and regret still comes back.” “Then, use me.” My eyes widened. “For?” “Use me to forget about whatever you're feeling. The Heartbreak. Come to me. You and I can do things together so you can stop thinking about the pain.” He said politely. “Well, I…thank you. But that doesn't sound much of a good idea.” He smiled. “I know that's what'll you say but that's just the truth. Don't worry. We can talk more about it when I start texting you.”

"You said you were lost. I understand that. All of a sudden several negative things came into your life that abruptly took you out of the comfort zone you had built. >> You feel lost and hurt by everything that has happened. However, none of it has brought you down." "With everything that's happened, I feel like I'm breaking into many pieces that will soon disappear. Just like my family." "We break when something overtakes us and we have no solution but to break to rest a little. It's okay to break sometimes, because through those wounds we can also breathe. >> And if at some point, from so many cracks you find it difficult to continue. You will have me to give you all the glue you need to j

Nobody looked at me with disgust. Nobody called me names. I stared blankly at the empty road. Was this how it ended? Not with betrayal. Not with blood. Not with death. Just... A misunderstanding. One sentence. One look. One accusation. And everything we had built collapsed. A weak laugh escaped my lips. It sounded hollow. Funny. I had survived hunger. Violence. Loss. Loneliness. Yet the one thing that truly broke me... ...was seeing disappointment in the eyes of the man I loved.

he said, lifting my wrist adorned with a thin business watch. "It suits you even better than I imagined." The right hand of the man who had signed countless merger deals trembled slightly from nervousness. "If you don't want to wear it on your ring finger, you can wear it on a necklace first," Albert added cautiously. I shook my head with a smile, about to let him slide the ring onto my finger, when a deafening crack of breaking tempered glass cut me off. Shards sparkled through the air as Jeff burst in like an untamed beast.
