5 Stories. 5 Secrets. One Unforgettable Collection.

You didn't come here for a bedtime story. 

You came here to feel something.

 You want the kind of emotion that sits heavy in your chest?

The kind of secrets that ruin lives in a single whisper?

Belinda’s Secret and Other Stories isn’t just a collection. It’s an emotional gauntlet.

Sometimes, the hardest battles aren't fought on a battlefield.

They are fought in the silence of a courtroom. 

In the roar of a Category 5 hurricane.

 In the heavy, suffocating air of a hospital room where a wife is about to break her dying husband's heart.

If you are tired of stories that only skim the surface, welcome to the deep end.

We’ve got five stories. Five nightmares. Five heartbreaks.

Are you ready to see what happens when the truth finally comes out?

 Let’s go.

🌪️ Story 1: The Hurricane Lee

Theme: Survival & Sisterhood

"Just the roof, please just leave the roof." 

Amy is 25. She just buried her mother.

 Now, she is raising her little 8 year old sister Carey, barely holding it together when a Category 5 monster named Lee rampages through Barbados tearing the small island apart. 

Suddenly she is the only thing standing between her little sister and the end of the world, realising that "staying strong" might not be enough to keep them alive.

“Amy prayed fervently to the Almighty, 'Just the roof, please just leave the roof on.'”

As the walls shake and the world turns dark, she has to lie to the one person she loves most.

“'It’s going to be okay,' she whispered... knowing all the while that Carey did not believe her. Worse, she wasn't sure she even believed herself.”

The Vibe: The terrifying roar of the wind vs. the fragile beat of a sister’s heart.

The Question: When the walls cave in, who do you hold onto?

🔥 Story 2: The Conspiracy

Theme: Betrayal & Suspicion

John Walker’s world didn’t end with a whimper; but with a spark.

He comes home to find his house—and his mother—consumed by flames.

His mother is gone.

 But amidst the tears and the smoke, there is a secret feeling rising in his chest: suffocating guilt mixed with the darkest kind of liberation.

He is grieving, yes. But deep down?

That suffocating guilt burning hotter than the flames  is mixed with the darkest kind of liberation.

“What did I do? he whispered... What do I do now? he asked again, as he crumpled to the ground... overcome with real grief and horrifying fear.”

Was this a tragic accident by a forgetful old woman? Or was it arson?

The Vibe: Smoky, paranoid, and absolutely devastating.

The Twist: The match didn't light itself.

🤫 Story 3: Belinda’s Secret ( Title Story)

Theme: Guilt & Redemption

Belinda has a perfect life. A wonderful son. A husband, Trevor, who adores her.

But as Trevor lies in a hospital bed, weak and fading, Belinda knows she can’t let him die with the lie that has defined their marriage.

She has to tell him. Even if the truth shatters the last smile she will ever see on his face.

“She needed to unburden herself from the weight of the lie she had been living under for too many years... 'Trev, I have something very important to tell you...'”

"I love you, Belinda. Nothing can change that." 

 A hospital monitor beeping. A heart shattering before it stops beating. Trevor is dying. 

He looks at Belinda and sees his angel. . He thinks his life was perfect. He reaches for her hand, thinking their love is pure. 

He is wrong.

 Belinda isn't here to comfort him. She is here to unburden herself before he fades away. 

“Slowly, she untangled their hands, Trevor too weak and feeling too terrible to stop her. 'Trev, I have something very important to tell you,' she whispered, tears in her throat... 'And I know you might not ever forgive me.'”

She leans in close. She kisses him. And then she drops the bomb that ruins him.

The Vibe: The heavy, suffocating silence right before a confession that changes everything.

The Pain: The truth won't set you free. It will kill you.

🌀 Story 4: Nightmare in Reverse

Theme: Psychological Horror

 A glitch in reality. 

The cold realization that you aren't waking up this time. 

Jeremy is late for school. He’s running. 

Then—Bang.

“Pain—hot, jagged and breathtaking—exploded within his body... Jeremy was slowly being pulled into a different world, but

he did not want to go.”

One minute he’s walking to school; the next, he’s plunged into a cold, sterile world where physics don’t apply and he has terrifying new abilities.

Jeremy thinks he can teleport.

 It’s the best dream ever. 

He treats it like a game... until he sees his classmates crying…until he realizes he can’t wake up.

He screams, but no one hears him.

“'I'm right here! I'm here you idiots! I'm here!' Nothing. Not even a blink.”

He watches his teacher deliver the news to the class, and the nightmare becomes real.

This isn’t a dream. It’s a loop. And he is trapped.

The Vibe: Disorienting, trippy, and claustrophobic.

The Hook: Death isn’t the end. It’s the nightmare in reverse.

👁️ Story 5: Her Haunted Eyes

Theme: Justice & Sacrifice

Sharon isn’t crying in the courtroom. She’s frozen.

Numb.

She’s on trial for killing her husband—the man who beat her daily, the man who turned her home into a prison. 

She feels nothing but a cold, deep void.

Except when she looks at her daughter, Julie, the only reason she fought back.

“She turned just enough to meet the eyes of her daughter... Those eyes... those deep brown, haunted eyes.”

She looks across the courtroom. Not at the judge, but at Julie. 

"She didn't kill him for herself."

Cold steel. A mother's love loaded like a weapon. 

They call her a murderer. 

She calls herself a mother. 

Her husband was a monster, so she became the thing that goes bump in the night to save her daughter.

“This is the price I had to pay. He’ll never hurt you ever again. Never. Ever. Again.”

The Vibe: Cold, steely resolve and the heartbreaking gaze of a mother who did what she had to do.

The Ending: Guilty? Not in her eyes.
