This Thing A Quiet Madness Made Novels & Stories

Damian – First Person POV The house was quiet. Too quiet. The kind of silence that presses on your chest and wraps itself around your bones, forcing every thought to crawl to the surface like a tide that never ends. It wasn’t the peaceful silence you hoped for after a long day; it was the kind that made you think too much. The kind that made your heart beat loud in your ears — betraying the stillness around you.

“I do, and I’m so sick of it. I don’t think she’s planning to attack anytime soon.” “Don’t you guys feel weird?” Madison said which stole the full attention of the two men. “Why do I feel like everyone is so quiet? My clan, your clan and Mallory’s clan. No one is moving, no one is attacking and it’s worst. I feel like something is going to happen with this silence.” “I got the same feeling. I don’t think they’ve been this quiet in the past.” “You two are overthinking it! I’m actually thankful they are quiet! I’m so sick of having fights and planning and whatever!”

The unmistakable sounds of lovemaking filled the air. Don froze, his face going pale as he turned toward Fiona in disbelief. The guy clapped his hands. "If you all wanna see the uncensored video, scan the code and join the group chat! It's free!" One of his goons held up a big piece of paper with a giant QR code printed on it. The crowd rushed over immediately. Within minutes, a bunch of young guys were squatting on the ground, grinning as they watched the video on their phones. The moans and gasps echoed through the crowd, making Fiona's face flush a deep red.

When Observation Becomes Exposure POV: Matteo I don’t like quiet anymore. Not the normal kind. Not the peaceful kind. Not even the “everything is finally okay” kind. Because I’ve learned something the hard way. Quiet doesn’t mean safe. It just means nothing has happened yet. And right now— Nothing is happening. Which somehow feels worse than everything that just did. The projection shows empty space again. No patterns, no distortions, no weird impossible geometry trying to break my brain.

I say, pretending my voice isn’t about to crack, “is Quiet Violence.” Ty’s eyebrows lift. “That sounds ominous.” “It’s… not what it sounds like,” I say quickly. “It’s about… the quiet ways love can undo you.” Serena murmurs, “Oh, that’s worse. Continue.” I start to play. This one is moodier. Minor chords. A little edge. Like tension under the tenderness. You don’t raise your voice, you don’t slam doors, you don’t make love look like a war— you just look at me like I’m worth staying for,

Rebel’s POV The sounds fade slowly, and that was the cruelest part. Not the shouting, not the crashing boots or the barked orders. It’s the quiet that creeps in afterward, thick and suffocating, like the world has decided to hold its breath and forget I exist.

The quiet is the loudest thing I’ve ever heard. It’s not the silence of the Anti-Chorus, that hungry void. It’s not the tense stillness of the balance. It’s the quiet of a machine that has finally finished its work. A soft, humming peace. There are no more crises. No more gods knocking at the door. The Sanctuary runs itself, a self-perpetuating ecosystem of the interesting and strange. Our son is out there, somewhere, building his own story. The house is empty.

The lover even expressed mild regret that Conrad, the ‘annoying baggage’, had survived. Charlie’s mother, though shocked, did not confront her lover directly. She even helped manage the aftermath, only lightly forbidding him from harming Conrad further. Conrad knew that the cruel man would show no mercy and that his mother could not truly protect him. After deliberately enduring a three-day fever soaked in cold baths, the former top student of the Boyds became a seemingly mad little boy, scattering food with every meal. For fifteen years, he feigned madness. He understood all too well: with only the fragmented conversations he overheard as a child, without concrete evidence, he could never e

so romantic' 'Ohhh, that sucks' 'Hope the kiss won't come again' 'she's so in hell' that last one kinda get me, I look over at Hanna and I felt myself shuffling her mind, her face widen in surprise, she must have felt the force, that haven't happened to me before, I can only hear immediate thought not shuffle through someone's mind, it must have been the rage, yes I have rage...when I'm so mad, I just have the effect.

“Aw, and here I was hoping the ‘sir’ would stay. Yes, I’ll get it, but we need to discuss the problem that thing presents.” “That is not the problem. The dickwad is the problem,” Beth says with her hands on her hips. Again I felt that nice warm, fuzzy feeling. “You’re both right. The notebook and Kirk are the problems. Which is why I want to at least destroy the notebook. Kirk, I will figure out what to do with later.” “So you don’t think you’re crazy anymore?” Matt asks. “Is one every sure they’re not insane? How can we really know what we experience in this world is the actual reality of the situation?” I ask back.
