1910s Stories

My name is Babi, and my only goal in life was to retire early. I had the perfect plan: my gold Baby Boo dress, my Swarovski crystals, and that Victoria's Secret scent that makes everyone stop in their tracks. My target? My wealthy "Sugar Daddy." But gossip is an extreme sport. While trying to film a TikTok in the wrong place, my Chanel heels betrayed me, and the cliff became my runway to disaster. When I woke up on a beach, I thought: "Great, I survived and my makeup is still intact." I didn't count on the hit to the head, or waking up in chains in a filthy 1910 Scottish slave market. My expensive perfume now mixes with the smell of dirt, and my only hope for freedom has a name: Ares McLean. A tattooed redhead with icy blue eyes and the heir to a clan that doesn't accept strangers... much less a girl from the future who demands her skincare routine and refuses to get her shoes dirty. How did I go from hunting millionaires to being the "property" of a Scotsman who seems to hate me as much as he desires me?

"Welcome to the world, moje malá holka: Antoinette." I believe that it is important to keep the stories of our ancestors alive for many reasons, but perhaps the most important reasons are to honor their memory and thank them for their sacrifices. This is a true story of my great-great grandma, Antoinette Šeplová, who was forced to come to America all on her own at the young age of 13 around 1900. Every part of this short, episodic fiction is based on records, old letters, and accounts from family members to piece together her life's story as a Czech immigrant in America. From a Pietist commune in Iowa to the rough neighborhoods of the Chicago South Side, my great-great grandmother's story is one I continue my work unraveling to this day.

❝ If you look in your dictionary you will find: Titans - A race of people vainly striving to overcome the forces of nature. Could anything be more unfortunate than such a name, anything more significant? ❞ - Arthur Rostron, Captain of the rescue ship Carpathia. ── ⠀⠀ ── ⠀⠀ ── ⠀⠀ ── ⠀⠀ ── ⠀⠀ ── 𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐘𝐎𝐍𝐄 𝐊𝐍𝐎𝐖𝐒 𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐈𝐓𝐀𝐍𝐈𝐂, the most famous maritime vessel to ever grace the Atlantic Ocean. She was allegedly proclaimed to be "almost unsinkable", and touted as the greatest innovation of the Edwardian Age. To this day, her story - passed down for generations - serves as a cautionary tale in various fashions. When one considers the matter of maritime disasters, the sinking of the RMS Titanic is the first to escape their lips. But will we ever really know what precisely occurred on that tragic night? The answer to such a question is, unfortunately, no - but that does not mean that speculation cannot occur. Published here for the first time at long last is a series of vignettes offering glimpses into the Titanic's birth, life, and death. Told through the perspectives of some of the most famous individuals aboard this notorious ship, these vignettes were penned with the intention of conceptualizing a plausible definition of the specifics which will forever remain unknown. It is my hope that these vignettes will bring their subjects back to life through the written word, and render them human to us once more. ── ⠀⠀ ── ⠀⠀ ── ⠀⠀ ── ⠀⠀ ── ⠀⠀ ── Please note that several pieces of writing within this book are compliant with or contain elements of the canonical storyline for James Cameron's 1997 Titanic.
