DISCLAIMER: I do not own and did not write this story. It is a copy of Original Book by Robert Louis Stevenson that I have uploaded here because it was way better to read than the PDF I was given in school. But I decided to let it stay here to help spread the book to wider audiences. Hope you enjoy. ----- Author: Robert Louis Stevenson Publisher: Longmans, Green and Co. Year: 1886 ----- It is about a London lawyer named Gabriel John Utterson who investigates strange occurrences between his old friend, Dr Henry Jekyll, and the evil Edward Hyde. The novella's impact is such that it has become a part of the language, with the very phrase "Jekyll and Hyde" coming to mean a person who is vastly different in moral character from one situation to the next. ------------

"The moon's really beautiful, if you think about it," I blurted. "Yeah?" he asked, mild amusement and curiosity mingling in his voice. "Yeah," I confirmed. "It's just- there's something about the moon that's ethereal. I don't really know how to describe it, but it's a constant in life. You can't always see it, but you have to trust that it's out there somewhere. And when you can see it, it's all bright and shiny and overcomes the darkness." I paused, searching for the right words. "I don't know. I guess it's a reminder that there are good things out there, even if you can't see them... And it's cool to think that someone hundreds of miles away is staring at the exact same moon as you. It makes me feel not so alone in life." Turning my head, I saw him staring at me intently with a thoughtful look on his face. "Too deep for a Friday night?" I laughed nervously, feeling my face grow hot. And this was precisely why I didn't go to parties. He shook his head and seemed to snap out of his daze. "It was deep in a good way." *** SHE was quiet & left out.

WINNAAR WATTYS 2016: GESPREK VAN DE DAG Voor Imke is het al lang en breed duidelijk dat het leven geen Disney-film is. Met haar gescheiden ouders die elkaar niet kunnen luchten of zien, is het niet altijd even makkelijk thuis. Haar schoolcijfers zijn beroerd, haar moeder zit in een flinke midlifecrisis en zelfs hoogzomer blijft het maar regenen in Nederland. Kortom: haar leven is alles behalve sprookjesachtig. Ze hoeft dan ook niet lang na te denken wanneer haar vader, een warrige wetenschapper, met een interessant voorstel komt. Voor zijn wetenschappelijke onderzoek naar liefde heeft hij hulp nodig. Hoe komt liefde tot stand? Wat zorgt ervoor dat er hele dierentuinen sprongen gaan maken in je buik? Imke wil hem maar wat graag helpen. Verkleed als jongen, wordt ze naar een kostschool in de Belgische Ardennen gestuurd. Aan de hand van geluidsapparatuur, gênante momenten en een hoop lol, probeert ze in een schooljaar zoveel mogelijk informatie te verzamelen. Een voorwaarde is echter wel, dat geheime relaties met schoolgenoten verboden zijn. Maar voor Imke is dat geen probleem, toch? -------------------------------- Schrijversnote: Op het moment wordt dit verhaal door proeflezers op grammatica, spelling en andere slechtheden gecontroleerd. Zodra het hele verhaal is geredigeerd, zal de vernieuwde versie online verschijnen. Hoogste notering: #6~ 19-11-'16 Cover made by @durban_skies Copyright © 2016 Liselotte (@LiselotteS)

After having her heart broken by the boy she'd been in love with her whole life, Brimmy Somell decides to take a little...vacation. Little does she know, it turns out to be much more permanent than she had originally thought. After meeting tall, sexy, and mysterious Marcello Pietro, Brimmy finds herself having to make a life-changing decision and putting herself in a dangerous position she'd never imagined to be in. °•°●°•°●°•°●°•° "I love you." He says with no hesitation. It takes a moment for my hazy mind to catch up. I'm still in a daze, mesmerized by his perfections, and the deep dimple set in his cheek. I blink, "What?" "Don't make me say it again." He says, sounding frustrated, but I catch the hint of embarassment in his voice as he runs his hand through his hair and takes a step back. I grab a hold of the neckline to his shirt and yank him back within close proximity of me. "What if I want you to say it again?" I ask, studying his eyes. "Isn't it enough that I said it once?" He scowls, trying to pull back, but I restrain him from doing so. "Nope. Just say it one more time and I'll be satisfied." I state bravely, feeling a boost of confidence I didn't have earlier. He glances down, then looks back up into my eyes, allowing me to spot the vulnerability and uncertainty he feels. "I love you." He says, putting more strength in his voice than he looks to have. I grin, pulling him in for a kiss, but right before I do, I say the one phrase that will seal my fate, "I love you too, big, bad mafia boss." ••••• The story may be rough but the comment section makes up for it. ••••• Word count: 51,173 ••••• Written and published 2018-2019
