    About this ebook

    In a unique compilation of poetry and short stories, Kristina Monique takes you on a journey through worlds of supernatural fantasy with a hint of chaotic realism.

    The opening poem, "Internal Flames", expresses the pain one feels as the agonizing screams burn inside their heart and throat.

    "Val" reveres in the passion of a mysterious and unexpected love.

    The short story titled "The Coup" delves into the life of a museum curator named Emma who finds her office in shambles and millions of dollars in artifacts missing from the exhibits. Being the quiet town of Poughkeepsie, only a handful of people had the access to pull off a heist of this magnitude.

    "Forest Girl" accompanies a day in Sara's life in the forest she's been magically bound to for 20 years.With the help of creatures of the forest, she searches for the shrine to free herself from her imprisonment and to uncover the secrets behind it.

    "Uncontrollable Chaos" follows the eventful night of a peasant girl named Kylana who's blessed with a magical power but is cursed by that which the kingdom wants to themselves. With no one to turn to besides her overbearing father, Kylana seeks to control it herself. Little does she know is that the kingdom is on the way to take what they want, whether she is prepared or not.
