I decided to walk over to my best friend's house, and once I got closer her driveway, I could see the door was left ajar. Rita probably left it open for me, I thought, while shaking my head disapprovingly. Then as I entered the door, my mouth open to announce my presence, I was hit by an odor indescribable, but deep down I knew what it was. Anyone could definitely recognize the smell. At first I hesitated with my food hovering over the the threshold. Then I took a deep breath and swallowed it; finally I walked forward as cold fear chilled my heart and the contents of my stomach rose to my throat... Have you ever had the feeling that you were being watched? Maybe while you were alone or after watching a scary movie? How about all the time: in school, walking around the neighborhood, in your room, or in the dark? Lately, Shayla has been having these same feelings of being watched. Little did she know it was true until a strange boy began showing up, until strange events began happening, until her loved ones became a target, until it was too late.

My official anthology of queer stories :D This book is a series of oneshots (fiction, nonfiction, and self help) dedicated entirely to sexuality, gender identity, and lgbt+ issues. While there will be plenty of happy, funny, and heart-lifting stories in here, there will also be some serious ones. I will include warnings on any of the chapters that need them. Otherwise, enjoy! :) *UPDATE: This is also the book where I host my contests! Look inside to find out if I'm currently hosting one, and if so, feel free to participate! Thanks :D
