#XOXOConfessions Flash Fiction Contest Entry I'm not a normal girl. Anyone could pass me on the street and believe otherwise. Sadly, they're mistaken. From my bottle dyed hair down to the name on my license. I'm not Alison Andrews and this is my confession.

Dear True Confessions Girl, I am going to make you fall back in love with me -Anonymous

This is my Confession

They each got a text but they had no idea about the reasons behind it nor the horror that awaited them when they went looking for answers. Find out Andrea's dark secrets...

Humans were gifted creatures that has the ability to feel different emotions and understand their meaning of them. We have the knowledge to communicate, cope and fit into every situation. As humans, we had the thought that we were born to share things with everyone. But not actually all of it. There is one thing that we can only share with a person that also needs it. A person that is not part of our family and does not have the same blood that you have. Human pleasure. Needs of flesh. A skin to skin connection that satisfies both our mind and body.

This is my submission for xoxoAfterDark's flash fiction contest!

*WINNER of the XOXO Connects flash-fiction contest for a publishing contract with Pocket Books.* What's your deepest, darkest desire? Shelby Weeks is a six out of ten on a good day, but her brains and ambition make up for her woeful lack of allure.

Shelby can't help to daydream about her undeniable attraction, but she'll never make a public confession about her feelings. There's really no need. She knows that to keep her idyllic life, all she can do is look, but don't touch.
