What would you give up to dive into your favourite story? Romantic, sharp-tongued, with a tendency to fall in love with tall, dark-haired, brooding men--Leah is the archetype of the "Pride and Prejudice" fan. TV series, movies, comics, musicals: she has seen and read them all. For her birthday, Leah's friends and family pool together to get her the ultimate Janeite gift: the Bridge, a virtual-reality gaming device. By granting access to her five senses, she can live her favourite novel as the iconic Elizabeth Bennet! As she explores Regency England and quarrels with the infamous Darcy, Leah cannot help but digress from the original plot to suit her modern-woman convictions. The longer she plays, the weirder her beloved characters act, until the lines between fiction and reality blur. ⚠️ Content and/or trigger warning ⚠️ This story contains one scene of (unsuccessful) sexual coercion, and mentions domestic violence and death by domestic violence, which may be triggering for some readers. 📖 Featured 19 times!

Okay, let's admit it. 'Supes' get their powers in questionably weird ways -getting bitten by a radioactive spidey, getting struck by a lightening bolt or falling into an acid vat, consumed by an alien symbiote? Well, not as weird as our hero though. Because our so called supe got his powers when he (hold your breath) VAPED! Kevin Cormack is his real name. But he attributes his existence to his alter ego named - The Vape God. Nylla Vanstone (Nylla-Vanilla as Kevin likes to call her) is a plain Jane. She is officially sister-zoned in Pinewoods High school. Not because she's Kevin's sister or anything remotely similar, but because she's Kevin's little sister's best friend. However, things turned upside down when Kaycee Cormack, Kevin's sister, mysteriously disappeared a year ago. With a lone mom loosing her mind over Kaycee's disappearance, Kevin got into smoking weed and other weird stuff. And that's when the real story began.

For influencer Carolyn Danes, #aboutlastnight is the best hashtag. It perfectly sums up an evening filled with adventure and excitement. And her last evening out really WAS perfect. Her dress fit perfectly, her hair and makeup were on point, and she met the man of her dreams, out-of-this-world-hot and charming Damian Bradley. It just had to be ruined by something as silly as waking up in a strange empty room, in Damian's body, her own lifeless corpse lying on the floor. No amount of screaming in the world can make the nightmare go away. Her only clue about last night is a letter from Damian himself. It can all be undone. He just made a deal with the Devil, and now the Prince of Darkness wants one small favor to set everything right. Find a tiny shard of soul. But when Carolyn can see every bit of soul the world has lost, finding one particular piece may prove impossible. 👸 This is my open novella contest 2020 entry. Yay me!
