Now, I've been hungover before. I've experienced the entire earthly spectrum of emotion that comes with the joys of drinking until you can't stand. I've seen, felt, smelt and heard things that upon reflection a sober human being wouldn't necessarily do. There was very little I couldn't chalk up to the consequences of my own actions whilst recovering from a particularly heavy night of partying. But as the stranger in front of me demanded me to stop, his entire appearance morphed into something vile. And I can honestly say that was a first for me. His eyes turned black like ink, his teeth extending to sharp points as dark veins began forming up his neck, crawling to join in a tangled web of visible webbing beneath his skin. The man I'd only a few minutes earlier considered attractive, had now become one of the vilest creatures I'd ever seen. Definitely not a crackhead. "Holy f*cking crap!" --- Danielle Perkins knows more than most about how truly unfair the world can be. After years of training and serving in the military, she is ultimately discharged from duty and settles down for civilian life in the bustling city of New York. A far cry from her terror filled past, it takes some time but she finally begins to get her life back together. That is until she's faced with a world that at no point was she ever trained for, and faced with a man that she was in no way ready for.

[OPEN] Some of us have applied to thousands of contests already, and often times, we haven't had much luck in getting any recognition. Sound familiar? Don't worry - we've all been there. We wanted to find a way to fix this... Thus, yourLOVEawards was born! Our team includes highly experienced writers and readers who have two goals: 1.) To help your story reach the recognition we know it deserves! 2.) To help you improve your story! There will be new contests every month, and each one will feature a different prompt in which you can enter your already-existing chapters into. But here's the catch - EVERYONE wins something! Just by participating in the contest, you will automatically get reads and comments from us. And at the end of each month, we will choose the chapters that we feel are the best written within the confines of that month's prompt. Those people will win EXTRA prizes! Even if your chapter isn't picked for that month, we're always willing to write out a critique for things you can improve on. Like we said, we're here to help YOU! Interested? Come on in! ☆ﾐ #349 in Random (5/26/17)

What started as something so simple as meeting a possible human bear in the middle of the woods, turned out to be the greatest life Winter McCaslin could have ever had. After being ripped apart from her best friend, she had no one. And now, she had the one.

"My experience with BGBC has been nothing but positive. Since I started with this club, I've gotten more reads in a few weeks than I had in months. When I saw BGBC in my recommended, I checked it out with the intention of finding a way to get more reads, but I've gotten so much more than that. I've gained votes, positive feedback, and amazing friends. I wouldn't trade my experiences with this club for the world and my biggest recommendation to anyone starting out on Wattpad would be to join this club." - @katies58
