'You call this fate' has won: 1st place in BLUE ROSE AWARDS 2017 (Action) 1st place in THE PURPLE APPLE AWARDS 2017 (General fiction) The One and Only Award in the RARITY AWARDS (General fiction) 3rd place in THE PUPPET AWARDS 2017 (that was when my genre was mystery/thriller. I believe general fiction fits my story better) Zara Mahal, a girl adrift from her motherland, a virtual exile amongst strangers, was no dreamer. She saw the ugliness in the world with clear eyes, heard it's screams and cries with open ears. She knew, and yet she dared to imagine a new life...but when is it that the past leaves you behind? When is it that the hungry demons from yesterday bid you adieu with a fare-thee-well? It doesn't happen, not today, not here, and most certainly not with her. She's being chased, by the demons within and the demons without...and she sees no way through. Yet...her snarky, rude, more-amicable-dead-than-alive boss seems to know something. Something he won't tell her about. Something that threatens to rock her world and throw her to the ground till her bones break and her head splits. No, I tell you...Zara Mahal knows the tears behind a happy life. But when her friend gets killed, and she's thrown into a whirlpool of shadowed faces and pulsing darkness, only Alexander Rodwell seems to know how to pull her out. The problem? He's the one pushing her in. P.S. the amazing cover is made by @mebekamil... go ahead and check out the rest of her works!

He lit his cigarette, I lit nothing. He drank alcohol, I drank water. He smirked, I smiled. He didn't love me, I didn't love him. He and I together wouldn't last a day. And then the game started... He said he found me intriguing, unique, and interesting because I didn't swoon over him. "You and me Grey, let's play a game. We'll date and in three months time I promise you will fall for me. When you fall in love with me between that time span, I win. If in any way you were to win I'll give up all the alcohol, cigarettes, and player ways." It was a game I wasn't willing to lose, but all games had accidents and consequences. It takes a broken heart to know how to break a heart.

The subtle addition of Clayton entering the room shirtless doesn't help much either. After three years of fawning over him, leave it up to her sleepwalking to finally get Clayton Hugh to notice her.

Irony {noun} - a state of affairs or an event that seems deliberately contrary to what one expects and is often wryly amusing as a result. Khloe Matthews had never really considered how ironic her life was until she died. At parties, the head cheerleader would do something BIG to get revenge. If this meant spreading secrets and telling lies then she would do it. How ironic is it that Khloe used parties as a way of ending her peers' social lives and in turn someone used her own end of summer party to end her life? The sad thing is that Khloe didn't even really see it coming, but as she recounts her story, it becomes increasingly obvious that her so called 'friends' did. Now her friends will have to learn that just because the bitch is dead, it doesn't mean she's gone. Who said you had to be alive to get revenge? graphic by @obsessedhumor- [highest ranking = #1 in mystery & thriller {29/12/15}] All Rights Reserved Copyright © longtimegone Steal my work-face my wrath.

Sixteen-year-old Pippa Greene never goes anywhere without her camera. She and her best friend/supermodel-in-training Dace long ago mapped out their life plan: Pippa will be the noted fashion photographer, and Dace the cover girl. But ever since last spring, things have changed for Pippa — and her junior year at Spalding High proves to have its own set of challenges. Not only is Vantage Point, the statewide photography competition, in three short weeks, but her mandatory volunteer placement lands her at St. Christopher’s Hospital, a place Pippa never wanted to set foot in again. With humour and pluck, she navigates her new role as a candy striper (watch out for Code Yellows), her changing relationship with her best friend (goodbye Honesty Pact), and — perhaps most stressful of all — her new love interests (yes, love interests plural). Will Pippa make it to Vantage Point without having a panic attack? Will either one of the guys prove less sketchy than her last boyfriend? Can she and Dace figure out a way to dream big and be best friends? One thing is certain: real life is a lot more complicated than a photograph. New chapter updates every Wednesday!
