UPDATE 17/02/2026. Ever since the AI-tag has appeared behind all the story tags, it's lost quite a bit of it's glow, I'm sad to say. I had so hoped that a human could have written these stories—not just this one, but also Geometry of Shame, to name just one. Now that it turns out a machine wrote them, I can still enjoy the beautiful prose and the interesting plot twists, but it’s different. That’s a real bummer. I know what it’s like to struggle for hours with a piece of writing that just won’t come out on paper, not like it’s in your head but won’t come out. Machines aren’t bothered by that. It only costs it a few kilowatts of electricity.
Deep within the belly of Storiesonline lies a hidden treasure. Away from the public eye. Not yet rated. ‘Keeper of My Peace’ rests humbly, anticipating the reader who will begin the story by opening the first chapter. With all due respect to all other authors on this platform, this might be the very best book you can read here on Storiesonline. Many fine authors have written about the young master. ‘Young Master’ by Alan C. Zumwalt, and ‘Growing Up a Master’ by MWTB both come to mind. Those are good books, but this one will leave you unable to put it down. If you want to be among the happy few who have read this book, now is the time to act upon it. You won’t regret it.
Since English isn’t my native tongue, I can’t speak to its technical aspects. I am totally okay with that. In essence, the book’s heart beats to touch the reader’s heart — so that, for a moment, page and person share a single quiet pulse, and every breath between the lines becomes a bridge until both hearts are beating in sync.
