"For what it's worth, Henry, you have nothing to prove to me." "And when it all falls apart?" "I'll be there."

Seventeen-year-old Carrie White isn't just an outcast; she's a prisoner. Suffocating under the fanatical rule of her abusive mother and the relentless cruelty of Ewen High School, Carrie's life is a waking nightmare. But beneath her terror lies a dormant, generational power waiting for a spark. Enter Elias Thorne. He doesn't look at Carrie with pity; he looks at her with awe. When Elias discovers Carrie's telekinetic abilities, he doesn't run. Instead, he helps her harness them. Together in the shadows of the school's A/V room, they build a sanctuary, and Carrie finally experiences something she never thought possible: love. But Chamberlain isn't done with Carrie White. As the senior prom approaches and a cruel prank is set into motion, her bullies are about to learn a devastating lesson. This time, Carrie isn't a helpless victim. She is an apex predator. And when the blood drops, the boy who loves her is going to help her burn the world to the ground *This is a vastly reimagined interpretation of primarily the 2013 version, although I've taken bits from the original book and 1976 film as well. My goal here was to write a script which I feel better fits the casting choices they made for that more recent adaption. *

Prompt ​21. You wake from a dream about a perfect faceless soulmate, only to meet someone in real life who feels exactly like them and somehow knows things you've never told anyone. **Still Hearts Beat Deep** Lucia Natalia and Orion "Ryan" Valentino leave Chicago for the sun-soaked promise of Fort Lauderdale - she's chasing a career in marine biology, he's on the verge of a Discovery Channel deal for his nature content. Life is perfect until Ryan vanishes during a solo trip to the Everglades. His car is found. His canoe turns up empty. His body never does. Alone in a state that was supposed to be their fresh start, Lucia is drowning in grief - until the dreams begin. A figure made of light appears to her every night, faceless and warm, asking her what's wrong. She can't remember the full conversations when she wakes, only the feeling of safety and the scent of cashmere and sea salt lingering on her skin. The figure becomes clearer each night. Hands she doesn't recognize. A voice she can almost place. A name he tries to say before she's pulled awake - "Ma-" When she meets Maverick Eris in a Fort Lauderdale restaurant, everything about him feels impossibly familiar. His voice. His hands. The way he knows her favorite dish before she says a word. He's magnetic, wealthy, and carries his own grief - a story about someone he lost, a place he visits to face his fears. He shows her a Florida she didn't know existed. Boat parties and coral reefs and sunsets over Biscayne Bay. He makes the water feel safe again. He even takes her to the Everglades, and for the first time, she doesn't flinch. But behind the penthouse walls and abalone shells and crystals he calls "spiritual," there are rooms Lucia hasn't opened. And when she finally does, the truth waiting inside will rewrite every moment she thought was love. Some hearts were never meant to beat together. Some just beat until they're told to stop.
