This was a short story project I had to do for Creative Writing class. It's about a girl named Clara and her experiences surviving the first day of the London Blitz. Enjoy!

This story was written for my creative writing class. It is about a mans experience going through Hell Week in Navy Seal boot camp! This is very different from what I usually write but I was inspired by a documentary I watched last summer about BUDs book camp so I thought "why not?!" One of the main critiques I got in class on my last piece was that my character needed more emotion and feelings so I thought this subject matter would definitely help me expand on those important character traits!

Die 16-jährige Alinea "Ellie" Mason erwacht eines Tages in einer Wüste, mit 10 anderen Leuten, die ihr fremd sind. Sind sie Feinde oder Freunde? Wie sollen sie in der Wüste überleben? Was Alinea und die anderen nicht wissen, ist, dass sie zu einem großen Test in den Forschungslaboren von Nordamerika im Jahr 2130 gehören. Am Anfang läuft das System des Forschungslabors zur Erkennung des natürlichen Wesens der Menschheit noch so, wie es laufen soll, doch nach und nach fängt es durch einen mysteriösen Virus an, seine Versuchspersonen in eine Todesfalle zu locken.

Sarah Marsden is prepared to rock NaNoWriMo this year. With tormented yet charming heroes, a fantastic magical world, and a thrilling sword & sorcery plot, she’s sure her novel will be amazing. She writes through the night, fighting exhaustion, until the words on the screen start to blur. Until she closes her eyes, just for a second… and wakes up in the fantasy world of her novel. Unsure if she’s dreaming, hallucinating from lack of sleep, or if she finally lost it, Sarah figures her best course of action is to covertly follow her heroes around, watching her story unfold and maybe picking up a few new ideas along the way. But then her characters start going off script. They’re not talking to the right people, they’re not solving the mystery — they’re just screwing everything up! Sarah is well aware of what will happen if the villain wins, so she takes things into her own hands, teaming up with the heroes so she can secretly keep them on the right track. The heroes are the only ones who can save the world, but she’s the only one with the knowledge to guide them. And she must do so without letting them discover who she is, or that they’re all just characters in her story. This year’s NaNoWriMo is definitely going to be one to remember.
