On the outside Nore Mcguire was your average twenty-six year old High School Writing teacher. She had a lot of friends and didn't mind sharing a home with her eighty-year old Grandmother and her nine cats. But there was still something off. She sort of blames it on the stories her grandmother told her growing up about the night-walkers. Sometimes she thought she saw them, hoovering over people just before their death. She figured it was just her imagination and moved on, but that was until the new English teacher came to town. Jaime Donovan rode into town like a wild storm on a summer night. The ladies loved him. Nore found him attractive, sure, but he always found a way to get under her skin, and there was just something off about him. On the night of the Founders Day masquerade ball, Nore finds herself semi-plastered and dancing with one masked man the entire night. They danced and kissed the night away. She waited for her Cinderella moment to take place, but it never did, and that's because half the town was left for dead. And the next morning when the sun rose, things looked a little different. And now not only does she want to figure out who the masked man was, but she has to figure out why she was the only one to see creatures killing people in the daylight, when no one else could, and how to get rid of them for good. ----- Written for ONC 2022 - #66 & #23

This is the story about a girl who fell in love. Not with one, not with two, but three boys. They were her everything, and no matter what, no matter the distance between them, they still never failed to be there for each other. Until the summer following college graduation, when everything changed. Twenty-Three year old Fallon Wynters scored big when she landed the three most lovable and goofy boys as her best friends. There was Danny Cooper; the ladies man, Everett Brooks; the shy guy, and then there was Bennett Dixon, the friend - who was more than a friend, but never acted on it. They met on the playground after Fallon stuck up for Everett. After suffering a week long detention, the boys took her in and treated her like one of the guys, but she didn't mind, because she loved all of them equally, but there was one who always had her heart. They made promises, kept in touch, celebrated accomplishments even from miles away, but Fallon never prepared her heart for the day when Bennett Dixon would let her go or for the moment when she realized her heart belonged to someone else. --------- Written for ONC 2022 Prompt # 89
