The final dawn of a doomed town. Sleep deprived and heartbroken, Travis wanted to force himself through a nine-hour drive back home, only to end up in the town of Red Oak Valley. Of course, his relationship isn't the only thing that's dead. Kendra's stuck at a dead-end job. Sure, the people are nice enough, but how far ahead can you get working at a diner?

"The greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved; loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves." -Victor Hugo (Les Misérables). - Movie queen, Donnie Ramos, is the next on the hit list. After a series of gruesome murders rock the entertainment industry, the only hint prior to the crime being the cryptic messages left behind by the perpetrator, Donnie finds herself the next unlucky target when one such message is left for her. Unwilling to face the same fate as her deceased co-starlets, she bands together with the only investigation team she trusts with such a matter just so she could put a stop to the madness once and for all. However, her dogged stalker is at most a dispensable chess piece in a big game and amidst renewing bonds, unraveling lies and deceptive secrets, she soon comes to learn that she wasn't the Mastermind's main target after all. And that the real target is far closer to home than she could have imagined. - This story is a musical prompt based contest written for the TEGSA awards hosted by @AprilJester

Detectives Laura Wright and Jace Mitchell hunt a killer in modern-day London who mimics Jack the Ripper. Each chapter, inspired by a song, follows their crazy investigation, from secrets to lies and changing murder patterns. As they struggle with challenges, they delve into the dark heart of the city to catch the elusive murderer. "The Songs of Blood" is a gripping tale of relentless pursuit and haunting echoes of history.

A story of blood, betrayal and bond so beautifully painful, under the circumstances, where one wrong step could kill you, literally. Where the hope of survival and the greed for life meet. When bonds are broken and built in an unusual setting. What would happen when the news vaccine reaches the small group of survivors of an apocalypse, stuck at an inconvenient distance from the vaccine? And what would happen when they realised the group considered small earlier was still very large for the amount of vaccine prepared? Will the people who had watched each other's backs until then stab each other, or will fate have something else planned for them? A story written for TEGSA. cover by @sugararmy07
