"You're atheist," I remind him. "You don't believe in god." "I believe in you," He murmurs, letting the cigarette hang from his lips. "I believe in whatever you believe." He says, letting the confession roll off his tongue as if it were that simple. As if god, the devil, heaven, hell-as if none of it really had meaning to him. "That's not how it works," I mutter as we walk down a few more alleyways-the city of Manhattan coated in a light blanket of snow. Henry Vitiello had never had anything to pray for, that is, until he met me-the only thing that had ever opened his mind up to the possibility of religion "Isn't it?" He argues, taking the cigarette by his middle and pointer finger before blowing the smoke out. "I'II dip my hands in holy water if it means I could touch you." "You'd probably burn." 𓆩♡𓆪 𝐇𝐄𝐍𝐑𝐘 𝐕𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐎, the reaper. He's a prick. An asshole. A pretentious son of a bitch. He's not perfect. He's not even decent. But he's hers.

***THIS STORY WILL BECOME FREE ON JULY15th!*** Beverly Curie only lives for herself (and maybe ice cream). When her three nieces are suddenly put under her care, she must do the impossible: think about someone other than herself. Beverly is the only member of her family left in Chestnut Ridge, where she's kept the same routine for eight years: do as little work as possible during the day, marathon sitcoms in the evening, and try (for the life of her) to get everyone to leave her alone. When she loses her position at Red Ribbon's Craft Store, Beverly is left without a job and without a paycheck. Then her estranged sister, Aimee, calls with an impossible favor: Could Beverly take care of her three nieces for six months? It's insane. But then there's the thirty thousand dollars that Aimee offers to pay and Beverly can't resist. Suddenly, she's stuck taking care of three little girls, trying not to kill the soccer moms at the snobby Percival Academy, and joining the PTO. Now Beverly--self-serving, sarcastic, and problematic--must take on the role of a loving parent. And she is anything but.

Every story out there will probably make you look forward to one thing. A happy ending. But my story is something that'll promise you many things but one. Laughter? Check. Silly moments? Check. Tears? Check. Love? Well obviously. But one thing that I'm not going to promise is a happy ending. No, it's not a story about how some girl who was bullied all her life left and then a year later she's back looking like Megan Fox to make her bullies pay. Then miraculously falls in love with the guy she hated with all her soul aka me. It's not about how I foolishly cheated on my girlfriend and she left only for me to realize that how stupid I was and then get her back. It's not a story about some girl who left. It's about a girl who's going to leave. And how, I, Evan Sawyer, the school's loner slash supposed bad boy still fell in love with her, though being fully aware about that. "You know Evan, someday I'm going to leave. Someday you won't see my smile anymore. Someday you won't get my hugs anymore. Someday you won't hold my hand anymore. I'm going to leave, Evan. I'm going to leave." Completed// Highest ranked #713 in Short story May 7, 2017 Winner of The Sparkle Awards Best Not-So-Happy Ending. Cover made by @sereneur

**Featured in the Wattpad humor profile** "The ones who laugh the most, are also the ones who cry the most." No one will laugh with the pimply, overweight girl. They'll laugh at her. And joining them was a much better alternative for Lisa, who was terrified of being alone once again. Let them laugh at her. It were all just harmless jokes, after all. But her monotone life of pretending.to be the cliche best friend is interrupted when Ryder Woods - the epitome of delinquency and mystery - comes back to town. Paired up with his leather jackets and so-vile-Kanye-West-will-get-a-run-for-his-money curses, Lisa thinks Ryder to be the ideal partner for her good girl best friend. Real life bad boy and good girl couple? Set up by her? That's like her dream come true! But she soon realizes that there's more to Ryder than swearing and leather. He's not the typical bad boy she knows from Wattpad books and the monsters he's hiding in his closet are actually scarier than Lisa's matchmaking plans. Beautiful cover made by @sereneur

Eyes as black as night, a voice as soft as silk. "I will find you. Everything will be alright." Emily doesn't know who he is or why he invades her dreams each night. Yet, he is the only source of comfort in her very tragic life. Unfortunately, dreams are just, well, dreams. One gloomy morning, however, a mysterious stranger appears out of nowhere, offering his help. Under normal circumstances, Emily would refuse to accept it, but the man's onyx eyes are so oddly familiar. What begins with a promising encounter that gives Emily hope gradually turns into a nightmare she cannot wake up from. Note: Contains mild depictions of abuse. I try to update at least once a week.

If you could build your own love interest, what would they look like? *** Frannie Vixen is a fourth-year college student counting down to graduation. The moment she receives her degree in bio-engineering, she'll be off to do great things--or so everyone claims. In all her years of school, Frannie has never once had a boyfriend. She doesn't even know what she'd do if she had one. But if there's one thing she does know, it's that she totally 100% sucks at love. After yet another heartbreak before Valentine's day, Frannie decides to take matter into her own hands-literally. If she was born without a soulmate, well, maybe her only option is to build her own. So she does: and he is absolutely perfect. Why wouldn't he be? He's everything she's ever wanted in a guy. But there's just one problem: he's incapable of feeling human emotions. AKA, love. As Frannie and her manmade creation explore the secrets of life and search for what it really means, they discover things about themselves they never knew. And maybe they just need a little push from each other to find what it is they really want from life. But like any manmade experiment, life cannot be recreated without flaws. And as the semester nears its end, Frannie realizes that even life itself may not always last. **A Frankenstein Retelling**
