***THIS STORY WILL BECOME FREE ON JULY15th!*** Beverly Curie only lives for herself (and maybe ice cream). When her three nieces are suddenly put under her care, she must do the impossible: think about someone other than herself. Beverly is the only member of her family left in Chestnut Ridge, where she's kept the same routine for eight years: do as little work as possible during the day, marathon sitcoms in the evening, and try (for the life of her) to get everyone to leave her alone. When she loses her position at Red Ribbon's Craft Store, Beverly is left without a job and without a paycheck. Then her estranged sister, Aimee, calls with an impossible favor: Could Beverly take care of her three nieces for six months? It's insane. But then there's the thirty thousand dollars that Aimee offers to pay and Beverly can't resist. Suddenly, she's stuck taking care of three little girls, trying not to kill the soccer moms at the snobby Percival Academy, and joining the PTO. Now Beverly--self-serving, sarcastic, and problematic--must take on the role of a loving parent. And she is anything but.

My friend and I decided to do a little 'project' to ask our friends for random objects that we'd write a story about. We would write them as fast as we could during free periods at school. It was 2018 when we started this, but I carried on this practice of writing and do enjoy coming up with short stories to share with the world. So here are some short stories I wrote in class or whenever I have the time. (Not really edited, but thanks for reading:)

Charity Ford, a dedicated Registered Nurse and widowed mother, is fiercely determined to raise her one-year-old son, Michael, while grappling with the haunting loss of her husband, Lt. Eli Ford, a former Army Ranger turned FBI Agent. Obsessed with uncovering the truth behind her husband's murder, she dedicates her vacation to investigating his past. Sheriff Kyle Blanton, accompanied by his loyal K-9 partner, Pandora, is on a mission to track down the elusive killer who poses a threat beyond murder. With a rare gift for understanding animals, Kyle gains insights that others cannot, putting him on a unique path to solving the case. When a break-in at the Ford home leaves Charity shaken, Sheriff Blanton resolves to protect her and Michael, even as he faces the challenge of working with a woman he has known since childhood, someone he has never quite seen eye to eye with. Their complicated history makes collaboration difficult, especially when old feelings resurface. As Kyle risks his life to defend Charity, she confronts a harrowing dilemma: can she trust him with her own safety and that of her son? Doubts linger about how a former Ranger and a cop with a prosthetic leg can safeguard them against a dangerous adversary. Yet, as events unfold, Charity discovers that it is Kyle's unwavering faith and inner strength, not merely his physical scars, that define his true character. Together, they must navigate their tumultuous past and the present threat, forging a bond that could change everything.

Poetry from beyond consciousness.

This is where we can share our stories. Message me the name you'd like to go by, your favorite verse and why it's your favorite. Share your testimony and also how it relates to your testimony. If you'd like to remain completely anonymous, write it in place of your name. A small Christian group had a group of people do something similar and published this underground book. Although you cant find it on the Internet (which I believe is a shame. It was an amazing read!) it is wonderful to hear real testimonies. Everyone has an inspiring life chapter. Dont be afraid to hide it.
