Parallel
Mayelana nale audiobook
What if your dreams weren’t just dreams—but memories of another world calling you back?
Parallel follows a data analyst who wakes to find the sky burning and his city transformed into a nightmare he has seen since childhood. Towering beings patrol the ruins, harvesting humans into silence, while whispers in the shadows suggest he was never merely a victim—he was chosen. As he searches for a way out, visions blur with reality, portals shimmer and vanish, and the line between human and other begins to fracture inside him.
Haunting and surreal, Parallel is a dystopian tale of memory, identity, and inevitability. It asks: when the dream you’ve always feared becomes the only reality, do you fight to return—or accept that you’ve been home all along?
This story is part of an ongoing short story series of eBooks exploring moments of transformation, dislocation, and the fragile borders between worlds.

“This was never a passion. It was a quiet becoming.”
Writing, for me, wasn’t love at first sight. It was a stranger I met in silence. A presence that lingered when no one else stayed. Over time, it became a mirror to my feelings, a translator for thoughts I couldn’t say out loud.
What I write isn’t fiction—it’s memory threaded through metaphor. It’s the heart doing what the voice never could. Each story in this book is a breath I didn’t know I was holding. Each line, a part of me I once left behind.
I don’t write because I must. I write because somehow—writing remembers me.
