A small collection of short stories I write when I lack inspiration to make a full story.

“Wait a second, but in order to wake up, that means you have to be waking up from something else.” She smiles at me. “I knew you were smart. Yes, you woke up from the life you had before. Before waking up in that room, you had fallen asleep in another, down on earth. There, you were just like any other kid. You had friends, family, went to school, everything. Once you woke up, you left all of that behind. You still remember certain things not pertaining to who you are, like basic learning skills. Think about it, what’s your name?” I stare at her for a few seconds. “Wait….um....my name?” “See, you don’t know.” How could I not know my name? I feel like my mind is failing me. It’s almost as if the name is there, but locked in a safe, hidden for me to never find it. In frustration I stand there, waiting on my mind’s answer. Come on. I know it’s in there. It answers with silence. ‘Once you woke up, you left all of that behind….’ The words echo in my head. How can someone just forget their whole life? How could you wake up and leave it behind like a lost dream; as if it were never there in the first place.

To most people, Hayden is just a beautiful, small, quiet beach town - home to the wealthy and powerful. To others, it's their home - a tangle of secrets, lies and suffocation. Life in Hayden has always been tough for Cat Bartaletti. After all, being at the bottom of the social ladder and being the victim of relentless torture by your classmates is never really easy sailing. But after a tragic incident involving her best - and only - friend, things go from bad to worse. A new school year without her best friend brings new things - mostly unwanted. The school's golden boy, Luke Carter, has suddenly noticed her existence and for all the wrong reasons. She's starting to like his best friend, Ollie Clark - but he seems to be too good to be true. And there's Lia Trent, the beautiful new girl who appears to be hiding more than one secret. When the four of them begin to form a shaky, but comforting friendship, everything changes - but for the better or the worse?

Growing up, I had always thought dreams were just dreams, and that nightmares couldn't hurt you. I believed that those dreams and nightmares were harmless, only something your mind conjured up subconsciously. One night, I was visited by a strange boy in one of my dreams. He didn't utter a word, he just stood there and stared. It's been three months now, and that boy still makes an appearance every night. I'm starting to doubt my previous assumptions. What if he's more than just a dream? I guess I'm gonna find out. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

Meet Piper Hollows. She doesn't like to go out if she has the choice not to. She has things to do and is perfectly fine being in her room on Saturday nights, with her huge pride, her many piles of books, and her sketch pad full of the stick figures she loves to doodle. Starting to notice Piper's isolation from other people, her friends make a bet with her: if she can go on 12 different dates, then they will stop bothering her about her social preferences. But if Piper doesn't go, then they will forever continue to bring it up. As stupid as it sounded, Piper finally saw a way out and to prove that she just wasn't the type to go out and still have her pride intact. She relunctantly agrees, but things go unexpected such as: knocking out (it was an accident, she swears) one of the popular girls in school, actually having to attend detention (the horror!), maybe even making some new friends along the way, and probably having some of the worst dates possible. But who knows, this could be kinda fun... © Copyright 2012 All rights reserved
