Now, tell Mama Dee what happened." "My boss, Raymond Sinclair, that's what happened! He's a jackass." Evie gulped air, swallowing bile. "He humiliated me in front of the entire staff this morning." Struggling to breathe, she held her midriff. "I feel as if I've been punched in the stomach." "That asshole!" Deedee's voice was muffled behind the menu as she checked the specials. She lowered the shiny, laminated cardboard. "I told you the man's a soulless billionaire. I don't care how many smart phones or self-driving cars he's sold. Or how hot he looks on the cover of Time. He's an insufferable ass." Suggestively, she laid an exquisitely manicured index finger against her cheek. The jungle-colored nail was painted with tiny, fornicating leopards. "How are you going to get back at him?"

Without warning, everything changes. The rhythmic pounding of the waves cease, while the wind, blowing from the east, switches to a westerly direction. My hair whips back from my face, as if a giant fan's been reversed. Frightened, the gulls drop their mollusks and head inland. Once they're gone, an eerie silence fills the air...until the surf retreats a mile out to sea, with a sickening sucking sound. I'm transfixed by the sight of the marine life, starfish and crabs, thousands of flopping fish, stranded in the slimy sediment. A dark shadow rises above me, blotting out the sun. My knees falter when I see a colossal wave looming behind it. In the distance, a towering tsunami crests, then races towards shore. There's no way to outrun it! Frantically, I search for Ryan. He's swimming frantically, almost reaching the breakers, before he's dragged backwards. Running towards the water I scream, "Keep swimming, Ryan. Get out of the water!" But it's too late, the giant wall of water swallows my brother whole. ⚠️ This fictional story contains racial slurs and descriptions of physical abuse.

An international group of passengers are trapped aboard a cruise ship during a zombie apocalypse.

While being chased by her abusive boyfriend, Lyla turns the tables, shoving him into the path of an oncoming car. But rather than calling the police, she and her friend, Jack bury the body deep in the woods. Instead of finishing her senior year in peace, Lyla is horrified to discover that her dead ex has returned for revenge. This genre-bending supernatural thriller weaves elements of murder mystery, romance, high school drama, humor, and, of course, a terrifying ghost story. (Excerpt from "Her Terrifying Love") Jack's chest heaved. "You said he was dead." Lyla inched closer and whispered, "He had no pulse!" "Maybe he was just stunned." "We carried him all that way," she said. "He wasn't breathing." "But maybe he woke up after we left him down there." "Woke up?! His neck was broken." Jack hung his head. He couldn't make sense of this. "I know how this is gonna sound, but..." He choked on his words. "When I went to pick up my car from the body shop yesterday, he was standing across the street. Watching me." "Who was?!" "Keenan. I swear to God." "No way," she asserted. "That's crazy talk. He's dead." "It was him." Jack nodded. "He had a frickin' giant tattoo on his neck." A shiver flashed down Lyla's spine. Jack confirmed what she'd been dreading. He'd been seeing the ghost, too.
