Curious, are we? Or is it that you can't choose? Either way, welcome. I'm Gnapika. Your humble host for the time-being. I've been a bookworm for pretty much as long as I can remember. I think it began with Geronimo Stilton? I don't quite remember. It became an obsession at one point, though I can't say I particularly regret it, I found solace in escaping reality. From the constant habit of reading stemmed the urge to write. I've written a lot till date, from short-stories to novellas to a 150-page novel (around 36k words) when I was thirteen. I never got to publish it, and by the time I went back to it, the tedious process and urge to rewrite everything began. Don't think I'll get to publish it later on either. It'll remain my little secret, my first book. i can not draw. Anyway, another genius my little thirteen-year-old brain could think of was... [drum roll] this! Back in 2020, she worked tirelessly for days to come up with a plan and design to convince her father. To her delight, he was convinced! Then began the exciting part: the writing. Over the next two years, she wrote and published a grand total of... [drum roll again] three whole short-stories! Then life whisked her away, leaving the site high-and-dry. At least, until now. As much as it may seem as if I'm a total horror buff, I'm not. I'm a sucker for romance, That soon got implemented on my gruesome works as well, and I began writing poems. I wouldn't say I'm very good at it though, the heart-wrench isn't delivered properly. For now. I plan to improve, on my writing as well as my procrastination, hence this site. It'll be my archive, my mind and soul for me to look back through later on in life. For you as well, of course. If you plan on sticking around. Anyway, go choose your path. You've stalled enough.

Gnapika 🜲 The Portrait

Writers Alley An Unreal Reality The Story of Two Clashing Realities... "Will I ever get back to my normal self? Why does this always have to be me?!" A young girl was kicked out of her house to live on the streets after her sister went missing. It didn't make sense. Her whole family didn't. She found a reasonably-priced apartment, which was rumoured to be haunted. By nature, instead of running away, she was hyped up by the idea of adventure and thrill, and without a second thought, moved in. But that led to a string of incomprehensible, if not life-threatening, events. Filled with secrets and lies, she couldn't help but feel stuck in a hole, which she chose to go through. But... is she as naive and oblivious as she shows to be? Does she really have no idea on what's going on? Or... is she just another broken human, let down by this cruel world, all over again?
